Dorothy was always my favorite, but Blanche was in a class all by herself. RIP, Rue.

It all starts with a simple meme:

No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day.Simple enough. Your Facebook status will not change the world, but you've made your own little statment and you can feel just a smidge ( Read more... )

I am so sick of the governor. He's a bigot. He hates the Wampanoag indians. He hates the gays. He pretends to be "tolerant" (fuck tolerance...tolerance is bullshit), but he's just another rich republican douchebag too far removed from reality to see past his own nose. Now he's the keynote speaker at the Massachusetts Family Institute's annual fund- ( Read more... )

Remember how we were talking about my cold, cold heart? Apparently it's been in a gushy phase lately. When I read that North Korea released Euna Lee and Laura Ling I got little tearsies in my eyesies. If I'm ever in big trouble, I definitely want Bill Clinton on my side! I know there was a lot more that went on behind the scenes to help get those ( Read more... )

I know it's just weirdo, fringe bullshit, but FFS, these Birthers are annoying the hell out of me. If the president's name was Barry Fitzgerald O'Bamahan and his father was from Ireland instead of Kenya, this wouldn't be an issue.

Ah, crud, Frank McCourt died.

Such an interesting life. Such an engaging writer. I never drank more tea in my life than I did during the week I read Angela's Ashes and though I was reading that book for a class (y'all know how that can be sometimes), I ate up every word. I loved his other two books as well. RIP, Teacher Man.

As usual, Sars says it better than I ever could.

So, I read this article that a friend of mine posted on Facebook yesterday (mind you, he's a practicing Catholic - and almost went into the priesthood - who got himself gay married last month) and it annoyed me, but I wasn't surprised that it did...even though the bishop compared gay marriage to chianti. WTF? Then I logged into my email today and ( Read more... )

When Estelle Getty died last summer, I actually sat at my computer and cried. Not uncontrollably, but there were enough tears to warrant the usage of facial tissue. What can I say, I'm an emotional and sentimental person.

Today it's a gorgeous day and my hopes were high and my heart was light. Then I decided to check my e-mail...
