“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. Kennedy - - - - - - - - - - - - “Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. 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 - - - - - - - - - - -

The Most Honest Three Minutes In Television History

To say this video has gone viral is an understatement.  And why?  Because it honestly is the most honest three minutes in television history you'll ever see, and I'm sure you can spend 3 minutes of your life watching it.  I did, and glad I did so.
I have never seen this show, but I may have to re-think that.  Wow. Wow. Wow.

What a Hot Mess: "Lightning Never Strikes Twice"

This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I have ever read.  On Sunday afternoon, a man from New Jersey died when a lightning struck a tree he was standing next to.  

According to MSNBC, Stephen Rooney decided to have a cigar, so he did what any respectful person would do, walk away from the barbecue to smoke it.  He turns around and tells his family, "Don't worry guys, lightning never strikes twice."  He was talking about his Father, who died 48 years earlier by a bolt of lightning while he was fishing.  What a hot mess!  

What does this teach you? That life is too short, and nature doesn't give a rat's ass about truisms!

What is the Internet?

When people look at me and think I'm crazy when I tell them I didn't know what the internet was all about in 1990, I'll show them this video.

In 1994, Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel ask a producer to explain what the internet is and what the @ sign means, while filming an episode of the Today show.
