Walk your walk

This quote is resonating with me today, so I thought I’d pass it along. Everybody needs to go a little GaGa over something or another.

“When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl,” she says. “Then I say, ‘Bitch, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.’ “

Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake

Japanese television showed cars, ships and even buildings being swept away by a vast wall of water after the 8.9-magnitude earthquake.
The quake has sparked fires in several areas including Tokyo, and numerous casualties are feared.
It struck about 250 miles (400km) from the capital at a depth of 20 miles. There have been powerful aftershocks.
The tremor hit at 1446 local time (0546 GMT). Seismologists say it is one of the largest earthquakes to hit Japan for many years.

God bless all the people there and give them hope to find their relatives and friends! They will be in all my prayers!

God Hates Fuckwits.

The “God Hates Fags” family is at it again. No offense to Dorothy, Toto or anyone else in the vicinity who gets that the Phelps family is a poisonous pack of diseased feces… but honestly, Kansas… what the FUCK. Why hasn’t anyone torched their house yet?? I’m joking… I think.
I know, two wrongs don’t make a right… but when is enough finally enough, to where you settle for an even?
WHY are these people protesting at the funerals of dead soldiers? Soldiers who gave their lives for this country…  whether you believe in or support the war at all, isn’t it obvious by now that it takes some serious balls to sign on for this sort of thing?? You think YOU had a bad day because you had to wait in line at the DMV or you were called in for jury duty or solicited for the latest Direct TV special during dinner?  Tell that to the pimple-faced kid dragging an M16 around the desert in search of oil Al-Qaeda. Tell it to his mother at the funeral after they hand her a folded flag.
WHY is misinterpreted religious scripture so often the justification for acts of violence and hatred and FUCKED UP SHIT??

Why isn’t anyone doing anything about this???

Because of the First Amendment, that’s why.

Freedom of speech. Freedom of expression. Freedom to have diarrhea of the mouth and spew venom in the presence of grieving widows and mothers and fathers and brothers and children. Like a homeowner who gets assaulted by a burglar they fight off in their own defense, and are subsequently sued by for “emotional and physically distress”, we are being hung by our own noose. Suffering through this ignorance and sitting idly by as inbred fuckwits wipe their asses all over our legal doctrines and sell them back to us at the arts and crafts fair as abstract art.

What about the limitations of the laws they’re exploiting?

Or better yet… if, like me, you were absent that day year in school and couldn’t tell a doctrine from a Britney Spears record, what about just not being an asshole?? Whatever happened to that.
