My Uncle Ralph

Is my hero! He is now around 82 and fiercely alive!! He drove my Dad (his baby brother) crazy throughout his life... Kudos for that!! Slowish perfectionism, plodding on to the perfect solution; what the hell is wrong with that? Talk to him, and he pauses, placing the perfect thought that he is about to speak, accurately and kindly; and he is always smart and brilliant, and warm and empathetic. I hope he knows what an influence he has been on my life!

I do not in any way live up to that expectation, I do worship his absolute perfection of his life!

Heartbreaker

Take a read here at Balloon-Juice, but be ready to shed a tear.

I have no idea if it was a no-kill shelter. I’m not sure no-kill shelters even existed in any significant number back then. So I just told myself that I was about to see a bunch of really cute kitties, most of which wouldn’t make it out of there. But mine would.

All the cats were sufficiently nice, and they generally displayed that survival reflex that makes them particularly adorable in such sad circumstances. I wanted to take them all, but I was only getting one, and there really wasn’t anything that made me want to take one over the others. I looked closely at one or two, but I still wasn’t certain.

Finally, I noticed the one cat who wasn’t making himself adorable. He just kept to himself in the back of his cage, uncertain, maybe even a bit fearful of getting noticed. He may well have been a feral someone picked up. Still he was tabby-ish, and mostly dark. I’d heard people gravitate towards lighter-colored cats. With his appearance and timid demeanor, I suddenly saw myself as this cat’s one chance to ever leave that shelter. So that’s how “this cat” became Nash, my kitty for 17 1/2 years.

Read the whole thing. Thank you Catie for turning me into a cat lover.

Pray Away the Gay Fail

At first I really thought this was satire.

I wonder if Michele of God's flambé'd husband Marcus Bachmann is this poor delusional soul's spiritual "camp" counselor. Or maybe MB just picked out his outfit as he does Michele's.

Crimes of fashion are just some of the sins displayed here. A pox on all of their houses!

It would be funny if this prayed degayed crap wasn't so harmful to gay youth trying to navigate their way to an integrated acceptance of their sexuality.

Ms Crazy Eyes

Out palsies on the right are all vapors of indignation over this photo of Michele Bachmann and her crazy eyes. Christ, she probably picked out the damn photo herself. Frankly, I beg you, find me a photo or video where she doesn't look batshit insane. Go on, find one.

She looks crazy because she IS a goddamn lunatic. She just can't hide it. And that repressed closet case whackjob she married to probably doesn't help matters (though her own self-delusion about him requires a touch of insanity.) All that Jesus-Juice has diluted her blood or something, so the crazy just oozes out though her eyes.

Scary as shit! She just might get the Republican nomination, and maybe even the presidency.

FSM, have mercy on us all!

That includes you, too, poor world at large. MerKa is going through some kind of Screamin' Mimi's right now, and you know we just gotta share.

Vent, or Risk Explosion

My country has gone bat shit insane.

Republicans are now out of the friggin minds. They hold the world economy hostage, until they can slash and burn away at the very things the middle class needs to survive, so that their corporate overlords can keep their bonuses.

And the Democrats, as the grown-ups in the room, caved surrendered are forced to acquiesce to this blackmail.

And the electorate keeps on voting for the Republicans, even as their way of life evaporates into the pockets of the obscenely rich. They are so afraid that "some lazy, good-for-nothing" brown person is getting more than their share, that the Gays will marry and this all will make the baby Jeebus weep. So on and evermore, they keep supporting these assholes, in direct conflict with their own best interests.

So we have jobs off-shored and outsourced, benefits whittled down to nothing, mass transit gutted, healthcare and education costs spiraling out of control; a nation where only the robber barons bourgeoisie gilded class can afford anything.

Welcome to America, 2011

UPDATE: I hear that a few Dem's called the Repug's out on their terrorist tactics. That's what terrorists do; take hostages. Well I guess this hurt the Republicans' feefees! Asshats to the end.
