true story



read one of many corresponding articles here.



:::edit:::

Arce11o: i think it's funny that the article pointed out that, in ARAB culture, throwing a shoe at someone is a sign of disrespect
Arce11o: is a sign of endearment in other cultures?
watchthesky84: hahaha
watchthesky84: well, you know what it means when it happens in america
watchthesky84: "sweet! new pair of shoes!"



:::edit 2:::
per my office manager's request, go here. trust me. hilarity will ensue.

i promise that, eventually, i will move on to posting about other subjects. for now, though, please watch the following video--it's an excellent discussion between jon stewart and mike huckabee about the subject of gay marriage. both men make good points and frankly, if you're going to argue your point on the subject, you should get to know the opposition and understand where they're coming from. this has been a mission of mine for quite some time and, while i will continue to argue that things like semantics and "what God says" are not solid points against homosexuals getting the same rights as we heteros when it comes to legally binding unions with the people we love and the rights promised therein (what whaaaat not dropping the "M" word!), i feel like i maybe understand the opposition a little bit better. which you have to do to win--am i right?





in closing, i'd like to give a shout out to my future husband, jon stewart, for being a great ally and making me wish, once again, that i was smarter than i am. oh, well.

also a head-bob to Marriage Equality RI for bringing this particular clip to my attention. keep fightin' the good fight, boys and girls.

also...

my fiance's friend posted this on the facebook about a month ago; both gentlemen are mormons (please refrain from throwing things--they're a kind, gentle people. i swear.), which maybe makes it more interesting that either would find this clip important. without further ado...



read stephen's note further regarding this issue here (and check out how brillz the fianz iz by peeping the comments!). if you have trouble viewing it (ie, are not facebook friends with him. or, for that matter, with me [wtf are you waiting for?]), leave a comment and i'll post it.

i heart jack black. and NPH.
