Let's Divide America through Stereotypes!

But somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart. It got hijacked. ~Barack Obama, June 23rd, 2008, Hartford, Connecticut.

I hear ya. I love my family, I really do, but I have an aunt (it could be more her husband and not actually her) that sends me these right wing emails all the time. Most of them are about why we should hate Obama because he MUST be a terrorist because of the whole Muslim thing or how the left wing tree huggers are lying to us. I consider myself more mainstream, like the dotted yellow line in the road with a slight, maybe very slight slant to the left and while I do have 'religious' beliefs, I'm not right wing either. Course if you ask a rightie, they'd say I'm leftist and visa versa. And can we please use faggot as it means? As in a bundle of sticks! If we must use it as slang, can we borrow from our dear Brits and mean a cigarrette? I'm done now, thanks for letting me rant!

LOL, anytime dear! I also hate it when "religious" necessarily =s "religious right." I mean, I'm (kinda) religious, and I'm a leftie. ;D *headdesk* And wow, you put it really well. Let's start calling sticks, and nothing else, "faggots."

Trivia moment: "Bassoon" means bundle of faggots. (I used to play.)

not to hijack your conversation - but you used to play bassoon?! so did I!!! <333

OMGSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I KNEW WE GOT ALONG UNCOMMONLY WELL. This explains everything! Woot! Can't tell you how excited I am to share my bassoon-love. Seriously, you have to be a special kind of crazy in order to even consider playing this instrument. You're my kind of crazy! *It's in the ship--the music! It's coming from the frakking ship!*

Er, yes. *blushes* I just spazzed out, didn't I? I started playing in 7th grade and stopped playing after college. I've thought about picking it back up a few times. I still have my bassoon tucked away in my closet. Did you ever make your own reeds? I have a double-reed graveyard for all the old reeds that I wore out or ruined in the making. They really look like angels if you turn them upside down and put a pair of wings on them!

Wow, I'm still absorbing this news! *goes off to read* Not much in the mood, but I haven't done a lick of work today. :(

Ann Coulter: so many flavors of crazy.

the maligned race of blond women in America
wonder if they were meant to be included when she used the non-racially specific gender term "women" as in "women should not have the vote."

Also - there's an excellent Ann Coulter icon I found here. #12 made me lol. hadda share.

[egeria61]

ROTFLMAO. the non-racially specific gender term "women" as in "women should not have the vote."

But, grrl, don't you know that we need to uphold the right to marital coverature? Especially blond women's right. Each one gets -2 votes. (Er, does that mean that they each get two husbands, or that each husband who can attract a blond wife gets two votes?)

Those icons are hilarious. Wicked witch--hehe. I snagged the "You make Dobby sad!" icon. ;D

Still thinking about the script conversation--I'm WAY too interested. You make me happy. <3

*giggling hysterically* I wonder if that's what polygamy is really about: collecting the votes of blond women!!!

ooooh I luuurve Dobby.

*flails* you like talking about screenwriting. I um yay! geekiest of geekiest topics (for me) and who the hell reads scripts anyhow? XD awesome. - and whenever you get to it, knowing your interest alone makes me *Squeeee*
