Pimpage. Republicans. Ass.

Okay. First off, there's pimpage.

So, when bathsweaver was in town, and there was a wee yet wonderful fannish get-together, mayatawi spread "The Boston Phoenix" out on the table, and we three proceeded to read the personal ads out in really loud voices, with inappropriate commentary. Sometimes, all we needed to do was read the ad out loud and the inappropriate commentary spoke for itself. And then, after someone, I don't even remember who now, made a crack about due South, bathsweaver's eyes lit up and she said: "CHALLENGE IDEA!"

And now, there's due_personals. Go. See. LOVE. This a fanfic challenge which will run through February 1st (that way, people will be done inuvikdotcom and ds_ssdiscussion), and it's now open to prompts.

Seriously, guys, go, write prompts, join in, because it will be so much fun. I mean...PERSONAL AD CHALLENGE! Just imagine the possibilities. Is Huey looking for a pet? Is Frannie looking for a long-lost love? Is Welsh looking for a nice dominatrix to settle down with, whips optional? Is Ray desperately searching for his sanity? The fun could be endless.

So, I had a brain fart, and thought I had updated my site with ALL my stuff, and then remembered that I forgot the Ray/Maggie fic. Oops? So, now Bread & Jam is updated with everything, as it clearly states in the, uh, updates section. I love being on top of things.

Which is why I'm also going to study all day after work. Settle in at the library and just... just... do math. For hours. I... *sigh* Remind me again, WHY am I doing this?

So, Time magazine is currently amusing me, because their "End of the Republican Era" cover is a picture of an old and crusty elephant ass. Awesome.

And, okay. The Foley scandal? Besides being absolutely appalled at not only his behavior, but the cover-up as well, I am kind of amused at the irony.

After all of their family values/anti-gay marriage rhetoric, they are brought down by one of their own. AND HE'S GAY. *gasp* So, they had every right to be afraid of those gays. I mean, look what happened! The air is positively thick with irony.

But on a more serious note, it really...really...really pisses me off that, of COURSE, he's being blamed for being GAY, and not a CREEP. Because, to them, gay = creep, and GOD, I want to bash someone's head in. Would people have been equally pissed off if it'd been girls he'd been harassing? Let's seriously think about this. And the answer makes me want to kick the shit out everything.

Oh, and Pat Robertson? For your, "Well, he's gay. He did what gay people do." comment? When I get my punching bag? I'll put YOUR face over it. You can bet I'll be using it every single day.

ARGH.

In other, happier news, this weekend, we're going to see Shortbus. I was sold by the singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" into someone's ass. \o/

This morning's Metro had an interview with the director, and he assured them that the patriotism in the film was genuine. I seriously cannot wait to see this.

And, finally, let's chat. Because work has been a bit slower than usual. So, tell me things like what YOU think of the Foley scandal, or what gets you up in the morning, or, well, how IS your morning? What are your plans? Do you find singing the national anthem into someone's ass appalling or the height of patriotism? If you had to sing any song into anybody's ass, what would it be, and why?
