Redemption

Just when things were looking down in the dumps, TOTAL redemption was achieved.  Rachell, Engineering Master of Anything and All (and mother to two of the cutest peanut butters ever), serves me with a box of Archway Windmill cookies.  For those of you not familiar with this amazing delicacy, Archway cookies makes a host of amazing snacks.  Growing up in the Mofo home, Mom always had Archway's Windmill cookies and Molasses cookies.




Accompanied by a glass of cold skim milk, the above treats can cure all that ails you (with the exception of mid-pregnancy yuckies).

Additionally, Rush Limbaugh has done it again.  (this may get very vulgar.... so cover your ears if necessary)  In the news this morning, Rush was in the hot seat (again).  Limbaugh, roundly criticized for branding a law student a "slut" over her support for President Barack Obama's new policy on contraception coverage, apologized on March 3 for his "insulting word choices."  Good riddance.

First of all, and this may be my liberal side coming out in all colors (or the fact that I am a woman and Rush hates woman), RL is a moron.  Perfectly poised in a DJ's chair, tucked behind insulated walls, Rush has the ability to say whatever he wants.... and obviously, he has no filter/level of intelligence to decipher what's fact/fiction.  He is the type of "character" that some Americans can look to for guidance (in shaping their political and social views).  Perfect.  A sheep herder.

Any free thinking human (who can read a newspaper) should exercise the right to form opinions and a belief system to carry them through life.  I think those who take RL's word as gospel have given up on forming their own opinions. 

Tonight, I'm going to say a prayer to Lady Moon asking for Rush to birth a black gay child who profoundly pushes the boundaries, who eats a vegan diet and has chosen Judaism as her faith.  RL wouldn't get on his pulpit everyday if he experienced first hand the shit he bitches about.  Fuck him.  He is poison to our community and will only hinder America moving in a forward direction of acceptance, compassion and empathy.

One last topic-- Kirk Cameron.  Just released:

LOS ANGELES, March 4 (TheWrap.com) - Former "Growing Pains" star Kirk Cameron's negative comments on homosexuality and gay marriage, made Friday on CNN's "Pier Morgan Tonight," have drawn a rapid response from GLAAD.
Cameron said he thought homosexuality was "unnatural."
"I think that it's detrimental and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization," the actor told Morgan.
Cameron, who is an evangelical Christian, also spoke out against gay marriage.
"Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve. One man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don't think anyone else should either," Cameron said. "So do I support the idea of gay marriage? No, I don't."

Brave?  I think not.  Ironic?  Yes.  Perhaps Mike Seaver forgot that in times of Ancient Greece, the Han Dynasty and the Middle Ages that homosexual relationships were accepted and part of culture.  I don't recall in history class learning that said relationships caused the destruction of these civilizations.  In fact, I am also going to wish for him to father a gay child, so he may experience first hand how being gay is not a choice nor a detrimental.  I am now boycotting all Growing Pains reruns.
