Different View on Perversion

I was sitting in my car, minding my own business. Well, minding the people's business, listening to conservative talk radio. You might say I was asking for it. You might. Okay, I was. The whole reason I listen to conservative talk (even though I tell people it's so I know "what the other side is saying") is to get really mad about stupid people saying stupid things.

Regardless as to why I was tuned to that particular station, there I was. The host was talking about the recent li'l to-do over Miss California in the Miss USA pageant saying something stupid (What? Something stupid from a beauty pageant contestant? No way!). Apparently, Perez Hilton was one of the judges, and he got to ask Miss CA a question.

"Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?" Her answer? "I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman." 

Now, let's ignore for the moment the fact that she thinks it's called "opposite marriage," and move right along.

The radio show host I was listening to played the clip and then went on for a few minutes about Perez Hilton's presence at the Miss USA pageant. 

Apparently, having gay men there, looking at and judging women in gowns and bikinis is, according to the host (I didn't catch his name), perverted. In his day, he said, you would just have young sexy women on stage to be judged to see who the prettiest gal in the country was.

How is that not perverted? Personally, regardless of whether or not Miss California's answer was awesome, not-awesome, hateful, or idyllic, I think it's good that we've got Perez and other folks there not just to take mental pictures to "enjoy" later. Having homosexual males there [the host said he "totally would understand if we were talking about lesbians"] makes the whole thing seem, in a way, LESS disturbing. In a way, it sort of legitimizes the whole thing. 

Anyway, the guy on the radio was a perv. That's my point.

Kim Jong-Il is a Pushy Little Bastard

Dear Kim Jong-Il,

Okay. Sorry about the whole Korean war thing. "Fighting" communism, driving your people into more and more poverty through sanctions and shit. But seriously, stop launching rockets. Alternatively, you could stop lying about why you're doing it, which would at least be honest.

Kthnxbye.

Been a Long Time, Been a Long Time, Been a Long Lonely Lonely Lonely Loney Time

It's April. It's been quite awhile since I've posted here, and that's because I was... out of town [read: totally forgot all about it].

Has anything happened while we were away, you ask? "Without your updates, I have no clue what's going on in the world!" I hear you shout. I reply thusly: "That's sad. Also, no."

Yes, that's right folks! It just so happened that NOTHING AT ALL happened lately. Oh, I could write about how the evil, uppity Obama people went over to Whitesville or Whitehaven or whatever [England] and assaulted the Royal Person.  But that would require my acknowledging that people are talking about that, and I would rather vomit.

Michelle Obama also, apparently, wears clothing. [I KNOW!] Which is also BIG NEWS these days, which must mean the economy is fixed and everybody has jobs and houses and stuff.

Oh, but look! Noted short-person Kim Jong-Il wants attention again. The world isn't giving him any, because he is short. Also, he is crazy and wants to kill everyone ever, so maybe we should watch out.

And that pretty much sums up the week, sadly. Two non-stories, and an actual story nobody wants to think about. Don't worry, though, Monday will more than make up for it by having some dumb kid that knocked up some girl he knew on the Tyra show to talk about it, and blame the girl's mother for also being dumb. Also.
