So I'm Thinkin' About....

Bush got called for jury duty in Texas. Is being a retard an acceptable reason to be excused?

So the Christian Right is having a hissy fit over stores or towns calling their xmas trees "holiday trees" instead. Jerry Falwell and his ilk are claiming "religious censorship" and "prejudice" and that Christians in America are being disenfranchised. Yea, those Christians are soooooooo fucking oppressed in this country. They are also bitching about stores having signs up that say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" and are calling for a boycott of those businesses. Dear Jerry: Please get the fuck over yourself. You think Target is losing sleep over you, or the few morons who listen to your stupid shit, not shopping in their store? They are probably happy that this Christmas they won't have people asking them if they sell Kinkade paintings. In my own effort to get boycotted, this year I'm going to put up a tree and call it a Satan Worship Gay Anal Sex Abortion Tree. Does that mean you'll tell your kind to stay the fuck away from me now? Please?

Speaking of Evangelical ass holes, seems that after only about 25 years into epidemic, enough white, straight people have died of AIDS for them to start caring now. Remember these are the same people that said AIDS was punishment from god for being gay or having sex out of wedlock. Too late you wingnuts. Stay the hell out of AIDS activism and sex education and leave it to the people who have cared all along and didn't judge the victims. Telling people not to be gay or not have sex before marriage hasn't really helped anyway. In fact, if it hadn't been for you miserable fucks and your hate towards AIDS victims, the problem never would've gotten this bad from the beginning. The guy hosting the big evangelical AIDS conference is that dork who wrote The Purpose Driven Life. Well, I think your purpose should be to go fuck yourself you homophobic prick.

Front page, above the fold, of the Boston Globe today: Red Sox are suing their former player for ownership of the ball that was the last out of the World Series last year. More shit I can't believe people care about.

News out of South Africa: The Constitutional Court ruled that keeping homosexuals from marrying is unconstitutional, paving the way for gay marriage in South Africa. Unanimous decision. South Africa's post-apartheid constitution drafted in 1994 was the first in the world to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Thank you again Nelson Mandela. They should give you another Nobel Peace Prize just for that constitution.

It boggles my mind that it's not obvious to every other guy that author Sarah Vowell is so much more attractive, in every way, than the Britney Spears and Jessica Simpsons of the world.

Early prediction for next year's World Series: Cleveland over the Mets in six games.

My favorite thing in the world right now: Blinking Lights And Other Revelations, the newest album by Eels. A stunningly beautiful record.
