silliness (god bless you, funny or die)

First, watch this ridiculous ad (it has captions, so does the second one):



It's afwul, and might make you mad.

Now, watch this:



It will make it all better. It's got a couple good cameos.

But the ad, the allegedly "legitimate" ad, is so very ridiculous, and it is typical majority-oppressor tactics to pretend that their loss of undeserved privilege is a violation of their rights. Republicans, especially Pat Buchanan (who randomly likes to defend Hitler for some insane reason), love to try and pull that shit. "Who is looking out for the poor white people? They built this country (ahem, on the backs of slaves, let's not forget that) and now minorities are trying to level the playing field, and then whatever will we do when our race alone no longer guarantees our success?"

It's silly. Rachel Maddow called Buchanan out on her show, which is one of her favorite pastimes. She made him look like an utter, utter fool, which he undoubtedly is. It was beautiful.

hilariously misguided

My aunt, god bless her, ever looking out for my immortal soul, left this piece of paper by my computer last night when I wasn't looking. It has a url on it: www.exwitch.com. I believe she's operating on the assumption that my religious views now are the same as they were 10 years ago, which they are definitely not. I find it quite funny. Even if I were still a fruity pagan instead of a disenchanted agnostic/dare-god-to-exist deist, it's just a total miss. But oh how she means well.

It's not her fault, really. She rebelled against her Catholic upbringing just like I did, only in a very different way. She is a super-Baptist missionary person, which is great for her. Something about China fits with her personality.

I'll give her props for trying, I guess. And being a sneaky shit about it.

Oh, the fam, and the complicated love I have for them. Le sigh. That's just how it goes.

p.s. I still think her "missionary work" is just a cover for the brothel she runs. (Not really. But it's terribly hilarious to think about.) Madame Elaine. Hahaha.
