Lifted from billinexile.com:
1. They cheered the execution of an innocent man.
2. They screamed, “Let him die” when told of a person with cancer and no insurance.
3. They booed a United States fighting man in uniform serving in Iraq.
This is the face of the republican party today.
This is who they are and what they stand for.
And these people are not worthy of being called Americans.
They are, simply put, a disgrace.

Just for the afternoon, tonight and in the morning but she's mine for 24 hours. Hopefully can undo some of the damage her biological parents wreak.

... where would we be without it. There's Fuck and Fellatio. Then there's Fisting and Fleching. And this new one I just read about (at least new to me but not really new according to faeryqueen), Figging. The things I think about while sitting in a company meeting, bored out of my mind.

1. The district will not be paying the ACLU legal fees or Constance's settlement. Their insurance company will be footing the bill for this clusterfuck. Depending on claims history the district might not be out a single additional cent for what they did to this child.
2. Not everyone in Mississippi is an ignorant, hateful bigot. People from Mississippi are the ones who made sure this child got to finish high in a supportive, safe environment. Welcomed into their home by a family whom she had never met and at a School that accepted her completely for the human being that she is. And as my beautiful child said "... where the fuck are you from? Because I'd love to live there. Sounds like everyone in your state is totally loving and open-minded. Sounds like there are absolutely no bigots or racists where you're from. Must be paradise sitting up on y'all's pedestals making judgments on the people who aren't blessed to live in such an open and welcome environment. Here's my point in case you missed it: there are bad people everywhere."
3. Complete and utter moronic dipshits like Dan Savage and Robin McGehee need to have their asses kick. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to pick up an leave their homes. And they shouldn't have to. If you fucking idiots, Dan and Robin, really want to help then move to places like Mississippi. Sitting in your ivory towers and belittling an entire state only causes more heartache. IT REALLY DOES NOT HELP! And one more thing Mr. Savage: you are so quick to tell your listeners to leave their less than perfect homes but you NEVER offer them an alternative. Where do you think these kids will end up? Are you opening your home to them? I thought not. So shut the fuck up.
That is all.

I can not believe that I have skipped work, ignored my friends & family and watched close to 96 hours of football all for it to end with that crappy, boring, didn't-even-watch-the-end-of-it final between Spain and The Netherlands.

With a lot of pushing, prodding and cajoling on my part, & a lot of begging, pleading and the occasional threat to the folks at IAHS, Constance got her diploma. I'm drinking heavily tonight.

And it continues....
Flying to NYC Sunday as chaperone for Constance and Ceara. They are attending GLSEN Respect Awards Monday evening. I've opted out of awards ceremony. Instead spending afternoon and evening with my brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew who live in The Village. Haven't seem them in over a year. Flying home Tuesday morning. Meeting some of the folks from NYCLU that I've spoken to and e-mailed with over the last few weeks. Looking forward to that. Strange days, indeed.

I can't tell you cause then I'd have to kill you. But I'm needing a pat on the back before I start pulling out my hair or beating kids. My family and I have done something that people keep telling us is extraordinarily remarkable. I don't see it that way. I think most people would have helped this child, just as we did, if they had been asked. Right now I'm close to my wits end, though. Having another teenage girl in the house is scary. Having another teenage girl in the house with some pretty unusual issues is really scary. And having to deal with the adults in her life who should know better is wearing me out. I cried three times yesterday and I never cry. There better be some good karma flowing back my way over this. Ok, I take back that last statement. Not looking for or expecting any sort of "payback". All I really want out of this is for her to have the opportunity to make the most of her life and not suffer too terribly much from all the shit that's happened in her life over the last 3 months.
I think I'm through whinging now. I suppose that which does not kill us blah, blah, blah.

Having sex with hubby after he has cooked 35 lbs then peeled and consumed 4 lbs of crawfish may not of been the greatest idea I've ever had. Seems the spices in the boil stay on fingers, lips and tongue for quite awhile.

Got official word today that Kaitlyn made National Merit Finalist. 2nd one in the family. Hopefully she'll do a better job of keeping scholarsnip money than her brother did.

South Carolina's Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer drew a comparison to “feeding stray animals” during a speech about people on government assistance, “babies having babies,” and parents whose children are on free and reduced-price lunch.

I can't believe how perfectly the Republican mayor of San Diego states the case for gay marriage. He makes it sound simple and obvious.

Went to see Sherlock Holmes today with 83% of my family. Eddie and Kaitlyn each took short naps at varying times. Jerad thought action was a little drawn out in some places. Amanda and I both enjoyed. I really like Robert Downey, Jr. and he absolutely did not disappoint. Never been a big fan of Jude Law but he was as good as Watson as Downey was as Holmes. And I really liked the way the Watson character was written and played. Much more the equal to Holmes rather than a bumbly sidekick. Oh and the chemistry between Holmes and Watson. As far as I'm concerned Irene and Mary were wasting their time. I very rarely do repeats but I might need to go see this again.
