“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F.

And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

No NFL Football This Fall... Wait Until 2012

Yes, you heard me.  Well... you read it; There may be no football until the 2012 season.  And its not because of the economy or the league going bankrupt; quite the opposite.  While people are barely making ends meet, the owners of each team want to get richer, and the players want to join them.  I was reading an article in the Huffington Post about a collective bargaining agreement that expires on March 3, and if there isn't a new one drawn up before then, the owners are considering locking out the players.  Which means... no games this fall season.  This hasn't happened since 1987.  Read more about it here.

Quite honestly, these people should be ashamed of themselves; owners and players both.  The players already make millions and the owners are already gazillionaires.  It's unfortunate that neither one can come up with a solution.  Make it to where there's a permanent salary cap, and re-evaluate after 50 years, LOL.  At least I'll be gone by then.

America without football. Who knows, maybe we'll finally get on the soccer bandwagon after all.
