HACKTHIS SMASH! The "people, u iz doin' it wrong" edition
You know. I'm not feeling fannish at the moment unless it answers to the name of Raylan Givens. It's my blood pressure you see. I like it where it is. And yet, my poor blood pressure is under attack from all sides.
First, there was the Congressman who claimed he served in Vietnam... except he never left the US. Ladies and gentleman, you "misspoke" when you say you left in April when you meant August. Saying, "I went to Vietnam and am a proud veteran," when I was in the reserves and never left my home state is not a misstatement. It is a LIE. Lie, motherfucker!
He made me upset. You don't do shit like that. Just like the blogger from Newsweek who feels that gay actors can not play straight roles. It's just not "believable." What planet are you FROM, dude? Have you ever seen a movie or TV show? Do you have any idea how many gay people are on your TV and big screen? How many men and woman refuse to come out in the industry because of stupid opinions like yours? You are fired, asshole.
The guy from Harvard was just annoying. Did you not hear about this one?
This young man lied his way into Harvard -- for all four years. And only got caught when he tried to apply for a Rhodes Scholarship. He falsified all his records and got into Harvard. Nobody ever fucking checked. He just boggles my mind. BOGGLES. This is Harvard. If he'd been a woman or a minority, there's no way he would've made it this far. And this is annoying. Okay, it's something besides annoying, but we'll just go with that.
So, we've got Blumenthal and Harvard Liar. And then there's Rand Paul (Yes, he's related to Ron Paul). Whoooo. If you voted for Rand Paul in the fine state of Kentucky please leave this LJ at once, because anybody who thinks civil rights shouldn't be mandatory. NOT OKAY.
My god, just typing this is getting me upset. And then today we hit The Tipping Point. Yes, in all capitals.
Let me tell you about Jesse Bernard Johnston III. Who's that you say? That's the young man who lied his way into the Army. Well, people lie to the Army all the time. Trufax. But how many have only been to the USMC's OCS (Officer Candidate School) in college, dropped out and then managed to convince the Army he was a NCO in their reserves. For, like, a long time. This was not a one night thing. This started back in February. Homeboy just swanned up and the Army said, sure, you can be an NCO with no training, at the Fort Worth Air Force Base. And I quote The matter, currently under investigation by the Army, means a soldier received a security clearance and was in position to lead troops in combat even though he hadn't gone through basic training or spent any time in the service.
In the meantime, come talk to me about happy things. DW is tomorrow. Eleven is love and hotassery in bowties. Southland in 7 months. I would really like some music to work out to if anybody's got mixes they put up or blogs they are loving. sincerely_jane made an animated RDJ mood theme. And I -- I will be over there, talking to sparky77 and maurheti about Brad Colbert/Raylan Givens porn. (I need Raylan icons).
