The Puggers Made Me Do It

Yep- it's official. I love Alanis!

Thanks to the person (you know who you are!) who sent me this video. It reminds me of Guerilla Queer Bar in Seattle or of the Great Flash Mob of Pacific Place. *grin*

P.S. For even more amusement, go to YouTube and search for "Seattle flash mob"

Have you all seen those Whopper commericals on tv- the ones where Burger King decides to "discontinue" the Whopper for a day to see what happens? It's pretty disturbing, I think.

Does the HRC support transgender people?
HRC President Joe Solmonese speaks about ENDA, September 14, 2007 - Southern Comfort Conference.

You oppose any legislation which is not inclusive? Yeah, right. Forward this link far and wide, please.

Happy Blow-Stuff-Up Day...

( It is nearly July 4th... the commemoration of the moment we Americans decided that rather than live under a King who made up the laws, or erased them, or ignored them - or commuted the sentences of those rightly convicted under them - we would force our independence, and regain our sacred freedoms. )

Here's one more reason I love living in Western Mass...

(The video gets *really* good around the 2:38 mark, but it's all worth watching!)

For those of you who would rather read about it (although the video is SO much more entertaining), here's a link:

Former Bush aide Card is booed at UMass. If you read the article, it mentions that "The protests were mainly contained to an area in the back of the campus arena, though many of the faculty members onstage joined the three- to four- minute outburst." As you can see from the video, that was clearly not the case.

And, as quoted on the Wikipedia page about Card,

"In 2007, Card received an honorary degree in public service from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The decision by the university administration to give Card the degree was met with protests and petitions from thousands of university students, faculty, staff, and community members. They argued that Card played a leading role in disseminating deceptive and misleading evidence to justify the Iraq War. At the May 25, 2007 graduate school commencement ceremony, hundreds of students, faculty, and staff protested the award with boos and catcalls as Andrew Card accepted the degree. Protesters, including many faculty on stage, drowned out Provost Charlena Seymour's remarks, asserting that Card lied about the Iraq war."

This pretty much sums up my day....

This is what happens when I stay up late to do work and then cannot/do not want to go to bed yet...
