Wow, the president singing Amazing Grace is incredibly moving, for so many reasons. As in 2008, I feel like we are living through one of those moments in history.

Here's my conversational showstopper: I saw Helms without a shirt on.

Whoa. That's like ita seeing Carrot Top naked, only mercifully a more PG-13 version.

How the hell did that happen? You walk into some sort of Congressional changing room?

You have to think that, in the back of his head, he's thinking "bookmark this week for the Presidential Library."

I don't have anyone specific to say this to, thankfully, but can we all remember that it took the Supreme Court to make interracial marriage legal nationwide as well?

Yuuuup.

I am so angry about a couple of different work things right now, and I can't even explain why because they are both such esoteric problems. Fucking people are pissing me off.

Here's my conversational showstopper: I saw Helms without a shirt on.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Scalia is loud, but Alito is sneaky and dangerous.

My conservative uncle posted on FB about the general "you" on both sides of issues who were posting things that were nasty, and suggested that if it's not something you would say in conversation, you shouldn't say it online.

I have no idea if he was talking about me, but I welcome any conversation where I can call Scalia evil, small-minded, and petty, and where I can rejoice in his unhappiness.

Oh, and I haven't said anything mean about Bobby Jindal yet, but I really plan to.

I have seen one relative post something, which was along the lines of "Despite what's happened I'll continue to teach my children what a rainbow really means. That it's God's promise never to flood the world again no matter how wicked or evil it becomes"

Everything else on my FB feed has been rainbows and celebrations and the occasional update on some escaped dangerous felons that have been keeping everyone around here worried.

Huh, I just realized that someone at work did mention the escaped convicts but no one said anything about SCOTUS. I was in the "war room" all day, maybe there's a "no gay marriage talk in the war room" rule.

I got an official email from the Bishop of our church conference reiterating that the official church stance is to not recognize same sex marriages and same sex marriages cannot be conducted in our churches or by our clergy and blah blah not in accordance with beliefs of church blah blah. I think I am done with organized religion. I actually told my mom that I got nothing out of it anymore and only go to see them.

I was at work for over 11 hours today. Sure, I had lunch. But still, it's been a while since I've done that.
