Must Watch - Must Read: President Josiah Bartlet on Homosexuality

Ryan and I are currently watching one of the greatest shows ever to air on network television, The West Wing. 

Last night, we had the pleasure of watching our new favorite episode to date, titled "The Midterms". It's memorable because of what President Josiah Bartlet told a Dr. Schlessinger character aka Dr. Jacobs.  

She was told by the President, "I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an abomination."  And she responded, "I don’t say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does."

The President's reply was absolutely awesome, and astounding.  Check out the small script below, better yet, watch the video I attached.

President Josiah Bartlet: [addressing a radio personality party in the White House, entering room to applause] Thank you. Thank you very much. Thanks a lot. I wish I could spend more than a few minutes with you, but the polls don’t close in the east for another hour, and there are plenty of election results still left to falsify.
[everyone laughs]

President Josiah Bartlet: I’m sorry. Uh, you’re Dr. Jenna Jacobs, right?
Dr. Jenna Jacobs: Yes, Sir.
President Josiah Bartlet: It’s good to have you here.
Dr. Jenna Jacobs: Thank you.
President Josiah Bartlet: The awesome impact of the airwaves and how that translates into the furthering of our national discussions, but also obviously how it can… Forgive me, Dr. Jacobs. Are you an M.D.?
Dr. Jenna Jacobs: A Ph.D.
President Josiah Bartlet: A Ph.D.
Dr. Jenna Jacobs: Yes, Sir.
President Josiah Bartlet: In psychology?
Dr. Jenna Jacobs: No, Sir.
President Josiah Bartlet: Theology?
Dr. Jenna Jacobs: No.
President Josiah Bartlet: Social work?
Dr. Jenna Jacobs: I have a Ph.D. in English literature.
President Josiah Bartlet: I’m asking ‘cause on your show, people call in for advice and you go by the name Dr. Jacobs on your show, and I didn’t know if maybe your listeners were confused by that and assumed you had advanced training in psychology, theology or health care.
Dr. Jenna Jacobs: I don’t believe they are confused. No, Sir.
President Josiah Bartlet:Good. I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an abomination.
Dr. Jenna Jacobs: I don’t say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does.
President Josiah Bartlet: Yes, it does. Leviticus.
Dr. Jenna Jacobs: 18:22.
President Josiah Bartlet: Chapter and verse. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I had you here. I’m interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She’s a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be? While thinking about that, can I ask another? My Chief of Staff Leo McGarry insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or is it okay to call the police? Here’s one that’s really important ‘cause we’ve got a lot of sports fans in this town: Touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7. If they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother John for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads? Think about those questions, would you? One last thing: While you may be mistaking this for your monthly meeting of the Ignorant Tight-Ass Club, in this building, when the President stands, nobody sits.

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 33 - He's Baaaaack!

How many of you remember this dog from back in September?  He balanced 36 treats on his nose, and I was sure he had me beat on Jenga.

Well the pooch is back with a whole new balancing act.  It seems the earlier video was just his warm up.  This time he's not holding back.  He does it upside down, while lying on his back!

What a Hot Mess: Monopoly Game Turns Deadly

OMG, if I was to name the number of times I played this game and wanted to rob my opponent, you'd think I was the 1%.  LOL. 

I remember this game being so competitive when I played it with my sister, friends or family.  We'd scream and yell at each other, because we wanted certain properties and couldn't get them.  All I wanted was the Railroads dammit!  And I didn't want to pass 'Go" and head straight to jail!

But not for Laura Chavez, she was sent to the slammer last Wednesday night for stabbing her boyfriend, Clyde "Butch" Smith with a kitchen knife.   She told the cops, "Yes, I fucked him up."  LOL. What a hot mess!

The woman's grandson who was playing with Chavez before the incident happened, told the officers that his grandmother had started arguing with Smith, because she felt "he was cheating at Monopoly."  The boy didn't witness the stabbing, because he was in bed.

But if you're a fan of the game, you would know that said cheating would likely involve either a) collecting $200 before passing “Go”; b) nipping some gold $100 bills from the bank; or c) landing on Baltic Avenue, but palming the Boardwalk property card.

And you'd think this was the only incident.  Hell No.  This has happened to other people.  According to following article:

This Monopoly-inspired attack is not the first incident of board game rage. In September, a Florida man allegedly choked his wife over a game of Yahtzee, and in 2009 a Michigan man went to jail for assaulting his Monopoly foe when she would not give up Park Place and the Boardwalk.

Must Watch: Go Beyond the Cover

What an absolutely amazing video.  I would have never thought this guy was who he was until I saw the makeup artists at work.  I want to say so much about this video, but can't because I want my readers to see it before making their own judgement.  Goes to say, "How do you judge a book by it's own cover?" Right?  Oh, and the music is great too!

OMG Hilarious! - Good 'ol Days

By The Year 2050...

As I read up and share with you information about our world population, I've never really discussed overpopulation.  There's no doubt about it, we're growing at an alarming rate, and this plays a huge part on our ecosystem - the statistics and numbers are astonishing.  Earlier, we calculated what number we were in the world's population when we were born, we've looked at statistics as if the world were a village of 100 people, and we've looked at a video explaining how we got big so fast.

With the 7 billionth person born, check out Lapham's Quarterly, A magazine of history and ideas.  On their "Future" issue, they laid out a map (above) indicating the "very real" changes the Earth will undergo by the year 2050.  It's pretty amazing.  Check out these very real changes by clicking on the map.

The Joys of Being a Parent: Father & Daughter Dance

I always tell Ryan that whenever we get married, there are several songs and performances I want us to do during the ceremony and/or reception.  And seeing this, just made my day even brighter.  

A father and daughter share a dance medley together and it's absolutely fantastic.  This is definitely one of the joys of being a parent.

Quoted - Kellan Lutz on Gay Rumors and His Love For Gay Men

“I don’t Google myself, but I’ve heard that people think I’m gay…. I don’t really go after girls. Most of the girlfriends I’ve had have come after me. So it’s really funny when girls get offended because I don’t hit on them. [They] transform their insecurity into, ‘Oh, that makes sense, because I heard you’re into guys and have a boyfriend.’ I’m like, ‘Seriously? That’s your tactic to get me to like you?’ There will always be rumors, but I know who I am…. Gay men are the best. I love them. When I meet gay fans out and about, they’re so great to talk to – and I’m big on hugging, because I’m from the Midwest. They’re just so energetic and loving. I’m proud to have those fans, and their support means a lot to me. I don’t want just girls coming to my movies, I want guys to come too.” - Kellan Lutz in a recent Advocate interview

Must Watch - Must Read: Would You Die For The One You Love?

How do you do turn that cheesy "Hero" song by Enrique Iglesias into something amazing? 

You make an emotionally, poignant video using sign language, an adorable dorky kid, a beautiful young girl, and tears, lots and lots of tears.

This video produced by Sean Berdy from ABC's "Switched at Birth" is absolutely amazing. I literally cried watching this. The lyrics themselves are perfect, but showing the girl how much he loves her and how he would stand by her no matter what, was perfection.  And -- all -- done -- by sign language.  A--mazing.  It doesn't even come close to this "Hold It Against Me" version from February.

Women and The World

It was predicted that by the end of 2010,  women would likely make up the majority of the workplace. And though they've made many gains, they still deal with inequality.

The Story

Movies to Watch - Maybe? "Warm Bodies"

So would you see it? That is the question.  Honestly, it's been about Wizards and Vampires for who knows how many years now.  We have nothing but sparkly vampires (Twilight), vampires falling in love with humans (Twilight, Vampire Diaries, True Blood), Wolves, Witches, and Fairies.  When will this phenomenon stop?  Oh.  I know.

Next August, when they have Zombies taking over our hearts in the movie, "Warm Bodies".  No, Really.  Nicholas Hoult (Skins, X-men: First Class) will star alongside "I Am Number Four" co-star Teresa Palmer.

AMC already has us feeling bad for "The Walking Dead," and now we have Zombies falling in love, and talking?!?!  Really?  Zombies don't need talk, they're dead!  All they crave are brains, not love!  I don't know, the story sounds kinda interesting, but I don't know. I'm still in that, "maybe" stage.

What do you think?  Will you be watching this movie?  The movie will also star Rob Corddry, John Malkovich, Analeigh Tipton, and the very yummy Dave Franco.

For a synopsis of the movie, read after the jump...

Isn't This The Truth? What People Do At Work

OMG, True story! LOL.

Being Bullied? Just Act Less Gay, Advise Teachers

click pic for story

Seriously?  And this is why we have all the crazy bullshit we have today.  Hateful people, I swear.  And what frustrates me more is that the very people who do this, are the ones who portray themselves as good-abiding Christians.  Hmmm -  I don't know, can you act less straight?

Believe me, you can be a Christian, and not be hateful.  You can be a Christian and love.  I have many Christian friends, and not once have I seen them portray themselves as evil people. They're caring, loving and understanding, but most importantly, they know Jesus would never act that way.  Please, stop the bullying!- Peter Flores, aka Blade 7184

I Quote That - Stop It!

Seriously...

Study Finds Wine Increases The Risk of Breast Cancer

For those that don't know, breast cancer hits close to home... 1.) I've had an aunt succumb to this terrible disease 2.) I've had family die of other types of cancer, and 3.) I work for The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, specifically in the Breast Medical Oncology department.
 
It took nearly 30 years, more than 100,000 women to gather enough data to determine that those who drink more than three glasses of wine a week, increases the risk of Breast Cancer by 15%.  And the more you drink, the greater the risk.  But is it cause for alarm?  Probably not, because it's also been shown that by drinking red wine you could help reduce the risk of heart disease.  Watching the video below may help shed some light, but personally, if it was me, I wouldn't drink it.  There are other ways you can prevent heart disease, but with breast cancer, it's not so easy.

The Not So Joyous Part of Being a Parent...

Yeah.  If I would have done this in the store when I was a child, my ass would be in the meat grinder when I got home.  I know, different place, different time. But Geezus, can someone give this kid some Valium please? I would be lucky if I got Garbage Pail Kids.  Pokemon, really?

Dear FedEx...

You see, this is what happens when you piss someone off who's been waiting all damn day for a package to arrive.  I've done it before.  Wait and wait and wait and wait, and sometimes it's not even FedEx or UPS, sometimes it's the damn repair man or cable guy looking to install your new DVR.  Bastards!  We've all been there.
