In which I rant....again.

First off...youtube singing sensation Susan Boyle. ENOUGH. You've got about 2 of your 15 minutes left, use them wisely. Here's the thing that just drives me NUTS about this--sure she's a good singer, but it's not like she's the best singer EVER. The only reason she's had this much of a fuss made over her is because of the way she looks. Now, my folks taught me it wasn't right to judge somebody on the way they look, whether they're pretty or pretty ugly. If, lets say, an average looking American Idol contestant showed up on that show and sang like that, they'd get some light applause and it would be on to the next. Don't preach to me about how awesome this is. She's being exploited for television ratings. It was a set up, folks. And now it sounds like she might be cracking under the pressure. Whatever, I don't have a dog in this fight, but stop shoving her down my throat in every media outlet that exists.

Next, American Idol. Hah. Who the hell cares? So either AT&T rigged it or America is still blatantly homophobic. Quite frankly neither of those things would surprise me.

Which brings me to Prop Hate (8) in California. The State Supreme Court ruled that the amendment passed in prop 8 is legal. Ok, I don't think anyone actually expected the court to rule differently. For the Court to throw out a voter passed Constitutional measure would have been a pretty big deal. Still, it's a good thing that the court let the 18,000 some gay marriages legally performed in California before Prop8 stand. It would have been heartbreaking for the government to execute that mass divorce. What exactly is the big deal anyway? Two men or two women marry each other. So what? You can still go on living your pitiful little life. It's not going to affect you in the slightest. God is going to strike us down? I hate to tell you this folks, but homosexuality has been around pretty much since people have been around, and we're still here. Doesn't God have better things to do than to flip out because two guys that love each other get married? Look at the divorce rate in the USA and tell me us Hetero folks are doing such a good job with god's "sacred institution of marriage." It's a bunch of Hooey. Here's what god said that is important: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."

Obama's SCOTUS pick: Nice job. I don't care that Hush Bimbaugh and Hannitea-bag think she's a racist. Maybe we could use an opinion from somebody that's not an old, uppity, white guy for a change, huh? Besidesm the entire human experience is subjective, why would we ask her to check her life experience at the door? Well because she's not likely to empathize with the rich, white, conservative folks...that's why.
