(cringe / heavy sigh) ... True. But I did say "FIRST act of contrition." Let me enjoy this glorious day a few minutes more before returning to the battle field?
P.S. -- I forgot to also ask the countrys' forgiveness for the numerous Moonbat boneheads we've sent to Washington over the years. Hope you'll consider this decisive election evidence of a return to sanity and our first act of contrition.
You're welcome. And trust me: MANY people in MA have been sick to death of the Kennedy "dynasty" and its accompanying mythology for years, and see this win as a release from its hypnotic grip, as well. My husband and I looked at each other when Scotts' win was officially announced, slow grins spreading over our faces, and I finally whispered, "Is it really over?" It appears it is. My God, I've gotta go out and do a happy dance in my driveway!
One issue has nothing to do with the other, and the last time I checked, you can still voice your opinion in this country freely. The Gay/Lesbian community probably think Mr. Hoopes will be an easy target (his age, the figurehead position he holds in the Paramount Theatre community ), but they miss the point. Mr. Hoopes didn't FORCE anybody to vote for Prop 8 - he just made the issue and its' consequences (as he saw them) more visible to voters. THEY pulled their voting handles freely - no one held a gun to their heads.
Y'know it would be easier for me to respect the G/L community if they'd just act act with a little integrity. Screaming and boohoo-ing over things that don't go their way make them look like jerks.
Okie Doke ... then they're officially jerks :(
While I totally agree that this was out of line (literally!), do we know for sure that they requested special treatment? Or did some star-struck airport wonk seize the opportunity to spare them plebian drudgery and at the same time, score a brush with Greatness?
Another Growltiger gem - "on the nose" and on the mark. Thanks for the early morning chuckle!
Now THAT was inspired! :O
I only made it to the part where the kid at the dinner table cusses out his grandfather, and no one does a thing about it. Although there were clues before, that scene confirmed that whatever came after would only be more of the sick attitudes and standards most Hollywood films promote these days. Exit, stage left!
