“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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Movies To Watch: The Butler

I'm just loving all these Presidential / White House movies lately.  Last month Ryan and I saw Olympus Has Fallen; This summer in Channing Tatum's new movie, White House Down, we lay witness to almost every national monument being blown to bits, and finally, this fall, Oprah Winfrey, Forest Whitaker, Cuba Cooding, Jr., Robin Williams, James Marsden, Alex Pettyfer, John Cusack, Jane Fonda and many others, star in The Butler.

I'm definitely eager to see this one, not only because of the huge cast, but for the true story of a man who served 4 American Presidents and witnessed 4 decades of American History.  Check out the trailer - it's pretty powerful.  Oscar worthy? Maybe.

Thank you Teddy Hose for sharing this.

Quick Guide to 50 Weird Laws

So yesterday I posted a humorous "Quick Guide to The Supreme Court Justices", and today I'm posting a suprisingly "Quick Guide to 50 Weird Laws" courtesy of YouTube Vlogger, John Green.  He informs us of the illegal activities such as throwing snowballs, playing BINGO (for longer than 5 hours), or using Silly String.  And yes, Adultery is still a crime in New York.

Isn't This The Truth? Morning Truths

These are great and ohhh so true!!  Absolutely love #9, because at 1 AM you're saying, "Tomorrow I'm going to get up early, exercise and get a head start on a productive day."  Come 7AM, not so much. LOL.

Continued after the jump...

Isn't This The Truth? Pictures We Didn't Take Before Digital Cameras

LMAO.  I look at all these and I see my Facebook newsfeed!  And yes, I'm guilty of some of them.  Honestly though, before digital photography came into existence, were you using your 35 mm camera to take pictures of yourself?  Did you take pictures of the food you were eating at a restaurant, or the wing of an airplane as you were taking a picture of the sky? LOL.  You will laugh at all these, check them out.

A Case of the Brain Farts?

C'mon, who hasn't had a Brain Fart at one point or another? Hell, I lose my train of thought at least once a week. LOL.  But seriously though, have you ever been in a middle of a conversation and before you knew it, the conversation was over and you had no foggy idea what the conversation was about? - That's a Brain Fart.

Think Dory from Disney's animated classic, "Finding Nemo" - that's a serious case of the Brain Farts.  LOL.

If you've spelled a word a certain way all your life, and then all of sudden you can't remember how to spell it - that's a Brain Fart.

Below are 13 of the most common Brain Farts known to mankind.  How many have you experienced?  I'll be honest, I've experienced every one. LOL.

Quoted: Mary Griffith on Religion and Her Son

“If no one had ever challenged religious authority, there’d be no democracy, no public schools, women’s rights, improvements to science and medicine, evolution of slavery and no laws against child abuse or spousal abuse. I was afraid to challenge my religious beliefs because that was the basis of creation—mine anyway. I was afraid to question the Bible or anything in it, and when I did, that’s when I became involved with PFLAG and realized that my son was a perfectly normal human being and there was nothing for God to heal because Bobby was perfect just the way he was.” - Mary Griffith on religion and her son.

For those who have no idea who Mary Griffith is, you need to watch Prayers for Bobby.  I wrote a blog on it several years ago.  It's about a very religious mother, played by Sigourney Weaver, who's life drastically turns around after her gay son commits suicide.  It can literally change your thoughts on gay people and God, for the better.
