Beginning of the Weekend!

Political issues seem to have my knickers in a twist this week. Just roll with it. I'm sure by Monday I'll be back to fluttering through the prairie flowers in slow-mo, farting rainbows like Tenley Molzahn.

Sure. I'll wait for you to Google.

(We have a cat named Kiptyn. You know we watch "The Bachelor".)

Anyway, here's a little quote from this article on repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell. John McCain is speaking of heterosexual troops and their possible concerns about openly gay soldiers:

"We send these young people into combat. We think they're mature enough to fight and die. I think they're mature enough to make a judgment on who they want to serve with and the impact on their battle effectiveness."

HOLY TAP DANCIN' RICE KRISPIE TREATS. Did he just say people should get to select who they want to work with, based on their sexual preference?! How about their ethnicity or religion? Height? Hair color? Just... wow.

Moving on.

Song Lyrics of the Day

...And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are...

Bruno Mars "Just the Way You Are" :)

One of Lauren's student groups has been doing fundraising for a single mom and her ill son, who were going to be evicted this month. So far, they have raised enough cash to pay her rent for over a year. Amazing! So proud of them.

"The Sing-Off" starts up a new season on Monday. Yay! Bring on those a cappella groups!
