I was defriended by two people today, including my friend's mom. It's probably a day for a cleansing purge.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I haven't checked FB in more than a cursory way for a couple of weeks, and between the Prop. 8 decision and this not!mosque nonsense, I think that's a good thing. Because I don't have any tolerance for bullshit right now. Most of my FB friends are leftist pinkos like me, but there's a fair amount who are people from HS who seem to have right-wing propaganda on their user info.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I really kinda feel bad about having to harsh on this friend because she's a transexual (m to f)lesbian, and also Jewish, so she often feels pretty on the outside looking in herself.
But that's also why it baffles me that she would (figuratively) crawl into bed with someone who clearly hates gays as well.

Favorite analogy so far (from Gawker)
By that logic, rednecks aren't allowed to display a confederate flag within two blocks of any African American person.

Driving aound on Saturday we heard a great short story -- usurping culture ( I do not remember the exact title )
all about changing the meaning of the Confederate flag...
correction: The second story, Percival Everett's "The Appropriation of Cultures," also defies our expectations as its hero hits on a novel strategy for defeating racial prejudice. The reader is the Tony Award-winning ("Seven Guitars") Broadway actor and director Ruben Santiago Hudson.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The more right wing leaning people on my FB friends list seem to ignore anything they don't like that I post, as I try to ignore anything that I don't like that they post.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I made the mistake of posting something political to my FB profile and a cool friend from another board outed himself as a Fox-lover. Really disappointed me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Talked someone out of her mosque nonsense today. It was refreshing.
She did not know:
That it is a few blocks away
That it was a Y
That there have been mosques in the nabe for years
That the community board approved the zoning
That there is a mosque in the pentagon
These conversations are probably easier on the phone than on facebook.
