I woke up feeling kinda down this morning. Sometimes the world-at-large sucks, you know? And people can be so incredibly idiotic. Let's just say this year's election day was not as happy making as last year's. Though all hope is not lost.

Tangent: If I hear another Mormon talk about Prop 8 in CA I swear I'm going to start throwing punches. Because, you know, the people who are upset with the Mormon Church's actions during that campaign are trying to "Destroy the Church" and "Religious Freedom in this country is Under Threat". Really? REALLY??!!!!! Yeah, way to not recognize how the people whose rights you just helped take away might rightfully be upset about that and, instead, make it all about OMG they're persecuting the Mormons!

OMG, the things I endure just so I can go to my little brother's wedding. < /tangent>

But then I watched two things that helped make the world a little shinier. The first is the remarks of an Iowa legislator who blocked an amendment to reverse marriage equality in that state:

And the second is Puppies Dressed as Cats on the Tonight Show:

Okay, now I can get back to work.

It is the greatest thing ever. No one can be unhappy when looking at such adorableness.

"Marriage equality"? I thought the issue was gay marriage. I hear "marriage equality", I hear "defense of marriage", it all sounds like sophistry, "framing the discussion", which I just find reprehensible. It's just like "choice" and "life", never abortion.

You're right. We should be calling a spade a spade because anything else just clouds the issue. Because "pro-life" supporters aren't really pro-life, they don't give a damn about what happens to people after birth, they only care about whether a woman has an abortion or not. And "defenders of marriage" only care about whether or not gay people can or cannot be married, but let straight people do whatever they want to it.

Screw 'em. If they can't deal with gay marriage then they can just go fuck themselves. Except not because they probably think masturbation's a sin, but that's another topic entirely.
