A National Day of Mourning...

I'm sure that most of you have seen what's happened on CNN and other news places all over the world by now:

8 Dead in Philippine Hostage Crisis

I'm angry, pissed off, cringing with shame at the entire mess that this was.  I could point fingers, lay blame, maybe pick a few fights with the ignorant assholes who want to make this about race and laugh at

Holy shit! ***HUGS***

And then, we're trying to distract ourselves with the stupidity of our Miss Universe candidate.

I think we just want to laugh at her right now because if we think about Mendoza anymore, we'll just cry. *sigh*

*hugs back*

What did she do?

William Baldwin asked her a question if there was something difficult in her life that she had to overcome. Truth is, she did - she almost didn't make it to the contest because there was some question on her citizenship (WTF?!). But somehow, she says there's nothing in her 22 years of life that was that difficult yadda yadda yadda and then she kinda says it in weird English, if I hear right (I just couldn't stand to see anything more cringe-worthy) and now the catch phrase "Major major" is making the rounds of the internet.

Ooookay. I guess the rest of my country needed something to laugh AT, because otherwise, we'd probably hide our faces for the next 50 years or something. I'll take humiliating English slip-ups over psycho batshittery. Hell, it's her THIRD LANGUAGE - honestly, people should give her a break. *rolls eyes*

There's not much I can really say, but I'm sending hugs your way.

Hugs are always a good thing. Even Murdock Muse agrees with me. XD
