more and more things are irritating me this week and again making it look like I have a raging case of fleas.
Now, honestly, I don't want to look like a backwoods racist hillbilly here, but riddle me this Batman....
A latino/caucasian man kills an unarmed black youth and its instantly labeled a matter of race and protests breakout across the country. The President even makes ridiculous race based comments on the case.
Two black teenagers and one white teenager shoot an unarmed white man because they were bored. Not a racial issue.
Two black teenagers beat to death an unarmed World War II veteran. Not a race issue and YOU are the racist one if you say otherwise....
I'm sorry...but WTF? While it's true that it doesn't matter if the teenagers committing these crimes were black, white, orange, or purple, their crimes were horrendous, what matters is the Martin/Zimmerman case received world wide attention, with the race card being thrown left and right...Not once has the race card been thrown in these cases. Tell me President Obama, would your son have looked like Chancy Allen Luna? (To me, the President making that type of a statement regarding Trayvon Martin ranks right up there next to dairy cow rape on the ridiculous statement meter.)
The lawyer for Bradley/Chelsea Manning thinks that the government (i.e. read tax payers) should pay for his/her hormone therapy and sex "reassignment surgery" while he serves a 35 year prison sentence at Ft. Knox.....(excuse me while I scratch feverishly) Ok, Mr./Ms. Manning, you feel as though you are a woman trapped in a man's body...ok, can't be a fun feeling, I understand that. There is treatment and surgery to fix that feeling. OK, get that too. During your trial it was stated that your gender confusion/stress led to you committing your crimes....mmmm...ok, I maybe see that, but you're reaching here. Throughout your entire trial, you were Bradley. Came to Court dressed as Bradley, answered to Bradley. Now all of the sudden you demand to be Chelsea. Here's where I am perplexed. Why didn't you come to court, even once, dressed as Chelsea, if that's who you really are? Further more, why should I, as a taxpayer, have to pay for your surgery while you ARE IN PRISON? I mean, if I committed a crime and had to be imprisoned could I get tax payer paid lipo or have my stomach stapled because I identify myself as a 110 pound woman? (Yes, I know that Ft. Knox has said they will not give the therapy or the surgery, but for the lawyer to fight this, to me, is...you guessed it.) If he were ALREADY undergoing the therapy and treatments and needed to continue those treatments, then perhaps, I could see continuing the therapy, at his OWN expense, but seeing as how he's not been on this therapy and wants to start it, now that he's been convicted, yeah...no.
Can't get this one....Spend 75% of your free time with your friends and can't figure out why your other half is pissy and not "feeling the love?" Yeah, that one has me scratched bald in some places....
Explain to me the sudden influx of people using the word vintage? Do you really think that placing the label "vintage" on your slightly older, slightly used pile of crap will magically make it worth five times the money?
I think I've complained about this one before, but seriously, men's jeans companies, WHEN, pray tell, will you learn that waist sizes below 32 or above 48, need to have inseams greater than 30 or 32? It's a real bitch shopping for the tall and skinny and the tall and not so skinny....Really, you think a 6'4" 350 guy needs a 30 inch inseam? Bitch, please....
