It's been more of a habit than a relationship for awhile, I suppose. And If I were to be honest, like, totally, I could not say I ever thought we were, or could be, compatible. And the space between has been steadily expanding for months. I knew this was coming because, ultimately, <i>this</i> <i>is what I want.</i> But all the logic and reason in the world don't make it any less of a bummer.</div>

Kind of. Sort of. I mean, I dunno...<br />
He's tall. And Handsome. And fit. And bald. And funny. And thoughtful.<br />
Just like I like 'em.<br />
He's also smart, hardworking, and great with my daughter. He loves me, and all my quirky weirdness. He thinks I'm beautiful, and also one of the most intelligent and funny people he's ever met.<br />
<br />
What's not to love, right?<br />
<br />
Well he's a Christian, for one thing, of the born again variety. See also, Creationism. The Rapture. Add to this he's a republican. Of the increasingly tea partying libertarian type. See also, Glenn Beck. Sean Hannity. Rush fucking Limbaugh.<br />
<br />
We've been in each others lives for decades now with varying degrees of involvement and commitment. I love him. I know he loves me.<br />
<br />
But every weekday my boyfriend purposely and willingly tunes in to Rush Limbaugh. My boyfriend says he believes that global warming and climate change are a hoax being perpetrated by greedy gravy train riding so called scientists collaborating with the government to steal all of our money and control every aspect of our very lives. He believes that while Barack Obama is "probably, technically" an American citizen eligible for the office of President, he is also a marxist/communist/socialist who hates America. Although he drinks beer, loves basketball, and Jesus, my boyfriend has convinced himself that he'd have a better time and has more in common with Mitt Romney, a man who drinks diet cherry cola, enjoys <i>dressage</i>, and is a Mormon.<br />
<br />

As we enter the home stretch, and the end is in sight, I sometimes find myself not even caring anymore who wins. Seriously. Just let this madness end already.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ar4E-cD-uS9Na0hHDtd-FMZZLo2Fz7gm0mE2T6h8v1WbL0za0rcFtp1yf7WWgiuZW_yb5Vyvw4K2bbfWks3bHjJ3DSL3W7nSTxLxk5o-v79D0P9QMzSFWyedudO4g836yiFAMe058NZF/s1600/rorty+(1).gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ar4E-cD-uS9Na0hHDtd-FMZZLo2Fz7gm0mE2T6h8v1WbL0za0rcFtp1yf7WWgiuZW_yb5Vyvw4K2bbfWks3bHjJ3DSL3W7nSTxLxk5o-v79D0P9QMzSFWyedudO4g836yiFAMe058NZF/s320/rorty+(1).gif" width="320" /></a></div>

But will the end of the election bring an end to the madness? I'm dubious.
You see, I've become convinced that a large number of my fellow Americans may actually be, well, batshit crazy. There are simply no other words to describe some of the things I have observed recently. It's one thing to disagree with and dislike a politician, but what has happened that so many people seem to be truly convinced that the President of the United States of America is not an American citizen eligible for the position? I just don't get it. Are these people<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
or what?<br />
These ideas are not new, of course- Birthers have been a rabid and vocal presence since 2008. But shouldn't we be past that by now? How is it that in the face of the evidence and the just plain silliness of it all, it seems to have grown instead of diminishing?<br />
<br />
Barack Obama is a natural born citizen.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0G4FOXHDPcJDODgb2FgvKsZlIzp5Sbio8AHyHypQrBLn34ENuj54HWsbHSxRyK9tWEDtCsg_Xyw5yCRQISv5Dgh-45qg3oDorJrnm61sPsxwlgcXI6mzrl_1_TCq7LMrTn9GufmM_qxQX/s1600/medium.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0G4FOXHDPcJDODgb2FgvKsZlIzp5Sbio8AHyHypQrBLn34ENuj54HWsbHSxRyK9tWEDtCsg_Xyw5yCRQISv5Dgh-45qg3oDorJrnm61sPsxwlgcXI6mzrl_1_TCq7LMrTn9GufmM_qxQX/s1600/medium.gif" /></a></div>
<br />
Again, Barack Obama is a natural born citizen.<br />
<br />
I suppose I could back up my assertion with links to various forms of proof, but it seems like having to illustrate the way the earth is round, or that Nickleback sucks.<br />
<br />
Lookit, there is a vetting procedure that involves thorough background checks by such agencies as the CIA, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security. This is, after all, a job that entails being in charge of nuclear weapons. Unless you believe that all of those agencies were in on the fix, you have to accept that he does in fact meet the requirements. If there were even the slightest bit of credible evidence to the contrary, the McCain campaign could easily have discovered it. So unless you believe that the RNC was in on it, you have to accept that he does in fact meet the requirements. And why would the DNC not thoroughly vet their candidate? Surely they would not have overlooked something as important as whether or not their candidate could be found ineligible. That would just be, well, stupid. So unless you believe that the DNC just blew off their vetting process altogether, you have to accept that Barack Hussein Obama, despite his funny, foreign sounding name, is in fact a legitimate President and natural born citizen of these United States.<br />
<br />
It seems so simple. It's like,<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTm9nPeAq7ccUMJJ5R6MmGRI5YpiW9IozXKO78l0LHyKlqOu_DovKhSBmsATNcGEcQg4IFy8kErkPL-KgsEh6tjiBXDNA__Dz8iexhYntPz-zMNTE_sZYvbwmU644SP93i5aKySbKBSXDn/s1600/medium_duhjj.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTm9nPeAq7ccUMJJ5R6MmGRI5YpiW9IozXKO78l0LHyKlqOu_DovKhSBmsATNcGEcQg4IFy8kErkPL-KgsEh6tjiBXDNA__Dz8iexhYntPz-zMNTE_sZYvbwmU644SP93i5aKySbKBSXDn/s1600/medium_duhjj.gif" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
But still our President has had to repeatedly state the obvious and deal with accusations to the contrary. A birth certificate is not the "right" birth certificate. The long form version is a forgery. Okay well, so we've seen the birth certificates and<i> maybe</i> they're real, but what about your college transcripts? Let's see those.<br />
I don't know how he does it. I really don't.<br />
Because I would be all like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHC43I4H7PRcA8G_3PWvXhbGb_UMILe4GMj_kzQ9vj2J92XN1eEXamAqiNLtWkk4O9iA-pdRdmUFoC9f-E-lRkEDmhyphenhyphenHBD1NVAEOEURaoSVXJOYQrlEevdy5h0XqVvVq-DE031Jcw32nY7/s1600/rorty.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHC43I4H7PRcA8G_3PWvXhbGb_UMILe4GMj_kzQ9vj2J92XN1eEXamAqiNLtWkk4O9iA-pdRdmUFoC9f-E-lRkEDmhyphenhyphenHBD1NVAEOEURaoSVXJOYQrlEevdy5h0XqVvVq-DE031Jcw32nY7/s320/rorty.gif" width="320" /></a></div>

But he's just like<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I guess there's a lot to be said for his approach, I mean, he shouldn't have to keep proving the proven. And if he actually displayed any of the irritation he must sometimes feel, he'd surely be playing into the hands of those who would like to portray him as an angry black man with a Kenyan ax to grind.<br />
<br />
But somebody needs to step up here and call these people out and be like<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijt3PGkjh6IzYdiQ7l-p5hAzKph6i8gW6tZtSj0igccC7QP3WlyxxDXkBlMzQ-cTplACUxczKe6R6pzqeF9izjYQTWyer7BgLQ0JO1fIsrQSAan_PfwkUuL0DOvQTGVxGaN7poHK3qvZ0l/s1600/rorty+(2).gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijt3PGkjh6IzYdiQ7l-p5hAzKph6i8gW6tZtSj0igccC7QP3WlyxxDXkBlMzQ-cTplACUxczKe6R6pzqeF9izjYQTWyer7BgLQ0JO1fIsrQSAan_PfwkUuL0DOvQTGVxGaN7poHK3qvZ0l/s320/rorty+(2).gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Because these ignorant, unfounded and baseless accusations don't exist just within the frightening realm of tea party rallies or within the crazy fest that is the comment section of any given political blog. No. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/13/obama-birther-kansas_n_1880957.html" target="_blank">As we speak, the state of Kansas is in the process of deciding whether a sitting president meets the citizenship requirements to be placed on the ballot in that state for the upcoming Presidential Election.</a><br />
<br />
I know what you're thinking.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
But it's true. And probably you'd think something like this would be dismissed in a day on the grounds of general ridiculousness, but the case has been continued til Monday while they gather further documentation on the citizenship status of the President of The United States of America. Also, they'd really like for a representative of the Obama campaign to take the time to appear in court to make their case. Like they have nothing better to do.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The thing is, all serious minded people know it doesn't have even the slightest shred of credibility or truth. They just want it out there to spread misinformation and doubt. It doesn't have to be true, it just has to be out there in an official seeming forum. Like a court of law. They're creating smoke, so the people that are so inclined can assume there must be a fire. I simply cannot understand why the media isn't doing more to call this out for the bullshit that it is. I'm just like<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT2ogzOmNT0VQU6EW2y4iy09QirPZhnxd0PoxeOgfB60cK1y6B0krtUlzeAGMfJmz6RsJ6kV1xukBEya-2TCEb7eE95jl2PQrJkfcry8-cTKNhlQWuCY1d-Bz_1ib5d2RS-6VwLrkzRfos/s1600/peggyb.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT2ogzOmNT0VQU6EW2y4iy09QirPZhnxd0PoxeOgfB60cK1y6B0krtUlzeAGMfJmz6RsJ6kV1xukBEya-2TCEb7eE95jl2PQrJkfcry8-cTKNhlQWuCY1d-Bz_1ib5d2RS-6VwLrkzRfos/s1600/peggyb.gif" /></a></div>
<br />
There should be fairness and balance in reporting, yes. But also, truth, yes? And when something is as demonstrably false as this is, it should be pointed out as such, always. It should not be entertained or given the legitimacy of hearings in court. Because it will never, ever end.<br />
<br />
And it really needs to. Like now.<br />
<br />
Oh, and one more thing. Kansas?<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I don't know if you know this about me, but I'm actually pretty
passionately opinionated and informed about certain political, social, economic, and
environmental issues. I do a lot of reading and research, and enjoy debate and
discourse, although it seems increasingly difficult to find people who can
discuss opposing views rationally and thoughtfully, without getting all
emotional. Of course I am guilty of that at times myself. People believe and
say some crazy shit. It's hard not to react with bewilderment. Or outrage. This
seems to me an extremely pivotal time for our country on numerous fronts. It's
hard not to care. I often wish I didn't, and that I was less informed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">But what can I
say? I do care. And I'm curious. I could totally see myself as an investigative
reporter. Oooh. Or a photo journalist. Now we're talking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I say all of that
as sort of a heads up that the manifesto may get a bit more...meaty. There's a lot going on, and I plan to tell you what I think about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The issue of gay
rights is seeing a lot of action recently. Some of that action has been favorable. Some of it not so much.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">There
was the somewhat shocking (to me) passage by the state of South Carolina an amendment
banning gay marriage. I don't know why I found it so surprising, but I did. The right goes on and on about the evils of big government, but they seem to want to legislate some deeply personal things. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">But then the POTUS made it known he stood, however
inactively, in the corner of marriage equality. Some say he was forced to make a statement due to the fact that Joe Biden has a big fat mouth. Maybe. It was still a brave move that may cost him the support of some of his base. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Even Fox News dude, Shep Smith, or The
Shep, as I like to call him, dared not to tow his network's prevailing party
line, and straight up called the republican position wrong.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">
<br />
(Hey, is it me, or is The Shep looking rather gaunt these days? I'm worried about him, and I'm not even kidding.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
In a perhaps
lesser known but pretty significant development, Dr Robert Spitzer,<a href="http://jezebel.com/5911884/psychiatrist-who-proved-gays-can-be-cured-says-it-was-all-a-big-mistake" target="_blank"><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="text-decoration: none;"> </span></span>the psychiatrist who famously
"proved" that homosexuality could be cured has now renounced that
claim</a>, admitting he was wrong. He even apologized to the gay community and
individuals who may have been harmed in pursuit of this nonexistent cure:<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">"I believe I
owe the gay community an apology for my study making unproven claims of the
efficacy of reparative therapy. I also apologize to any gay person who wasted
time and energy undergoing some form of reparative therapy because they
believed that I had proven that reparative therapy works with some "highly
motivated" individuals."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">That's classy. It's hard to admit you were wrong, especially publicly. He should get a rainbow sticker or something.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Still the ignorant
and hateful anti-gay rhetoric has been especially ignorant and disturbingly
hateful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

will prevent marriage being defined as between a person and animal?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Oh, I don't
know...just off the top of my head, animals cannot consent to legal
arrangements of any kind, and are physically incapable of signing the numerous
forms and certifications involved. It's a reach so ridiculously extreme, I
can't believe people make it as often as they do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">
<br />
who is advocating
rounding up all the homos, pretty much Auschwitz style, to facilitate their
dying off. This plan is as stupid as it is evil, since the vast majority
of gays are born to and raised by straight people. This is a Pastor, people. A man that people look to for spiritual guidance. And he wants to put the "queers" in concentration camps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">It troubles me
that I inhabit the same world as these people, and that they truly believe what
they are saying is pretty fucking frightening. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Pryde<br />
I forget where it was that I stumbled upon this...song type thing. I've listened to it several times since, with my brow slightly furrowed and my head bopping along seemingly of it's own volition. I feel like this is something I should not only not enjoy, but regard with utter contempt, mock, and deride.<br />
I should hate this. I WANT so, so badly to hate it.<br />
<br />
But I don't. It's kind of hypnotic or something, isn't it? And catchy? Her rhymes are pretty good and, I'm hoping, tongue in cheek.<br />
I dunno, what do you think? Is there something wrong with me? I don't think I've ever felt conflicted about a song like this before. Maybe I'm putting too much thought into this. It's just a song. If I like it, I like it, right? No big deal. It's not like it's Ke$ha or something. Right?<br />
Except I feel like it did something to my mind when I first heard it. Something sinister. And that my appreciation of this song is actually some sort of auditory Stockholm syndrome.<br />
<br />
Here's another of her videos:<br />

This performance made dealing with the original song totally worthwhile.<br />
K, so it's Friday. I've got our cameras loaded thusly:<br />
<br />
Minolta Maxxum 7000, Kodak Gold 400<br />
Holga 120CFN, 35mm adapted, Fuji Superia 800<br />
Holga 135BC, Kodak B&W TRI-X 400<br />
Lomography Fisheye2, Fuji Superia 400<br />
<br />
The weather is supposed to be lovely, so there will hopefully be loads of outside time, and lots of picture taking. I also have a fresh supply of Adderal, and some newly processed pictures, so there may be some actual posting, as well.<br />
<br />
Did I tell you we've added a Fisheye to the Camfam? It's actually my Daughter's, but she's willing to share. And it is SO COOL!<br />

<br>
But they wouldn't do that, would they?<br>
Nah...<br>
<br>
Just recently the fine people of Proctor&Gamble outdid themselves yet again with the release of the <a href="http://www.tampax.com/en-US/home/home.aspx" target="_blank">Tampax Radiant Collection. </a> Of Tampons.<br>
Radiant.<br>
Tampons.<br>
I shit you not, and there's a link just a few lines back to prove it.<br>
<br>
Do these people think I'm stupid? A tampon is pretty much a tampon except for the three following variables you can read about after the jump:<br>

But at least Maurice Sendak was, you know, old.<br />
Here for your viewing and listening pleasure is a reading of Where the Wild Things are by Christopher Walken, who should narrate absolutely everything.<br />

"He chases a dog with a fork.

Everyone seems stupid, incompetent, jerky, or some horrible combination of all of the above. I used to have a heavy bag for such occasions, but some stupid, incompetent jerk broke the rigging by which I had it suspended. Is it weird to be such a passive, non-violent person, but to really like hitting things occasionally?<br />
<br />
Since I can't actually, and would never really, kick an actual person's ass, I shall turn to a musical selection that makes me feel like I could. This isn't my usual cup of tea, but for some reason I really dug this song from the moment I first heard it.<br />

I actually gave that a shot, playing the Beastie Boys, I mean, but I found it made me kinda sad. It may be a little while before I'm able to fully enjoy the B Boys again, without thinking "Aw man, he's dead."<br />
<br />
Luckily I have music for days. Weeks, really. I think I'm going to make today a Chicks that rock kind of day, starting with a band that was actually sort of discovered by the Beastie Boys, and were the first act signed to their Grand Royal Records label, Luscious Jackson.<br />
<br />
Again props must be given to that long ago mix tape master boyfriend of mine. I hate to think what I'd be listening to had he not come along to so significantly broaden my musical horizons. Totally makes up for any areas in which he may have been lacking.<br />
<br />
Probably I'll move on to The Breeders, and maybe some Hole, but for now I'll start with your song of the day.<br />

He wasn't all that appreciative, to be honest. Perhaps because I snatched him up whilst he was, how can I put this delicately? Raping a blanket? I guess I should have waited but he's kind of unstoppable when he's in the mood.<br />

Song of the day Bonus!What is Mincemeat, you ask?<br>

What's that? You didn't ask, you say? Well luckily for everyone involved, I simply do not give a fuck, and will tell you anyway. I'm that kind. I'll...edify your ass whether you want it or not.<br>

Maybe even a few, but more than four I know is pushing it. Hard.<br />
But there's at least one, from Russia, perhaps. Because, of course-Russia.<br />
But as unrealistic as that sort of thinking is, I also dare to dream that that<br />
One<br />
Person<br />
knows why the photographs that I upload to my computer (via a disc which I had my negatives scanned onto, which<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hiUuL5uTKc&ob=av3e" target="_blank"> is how we do it)</a> are marked in properties as being "Read Only".<br />
<br />
In case that sentence was two paranthetically convoluted:<br />
The pictures on my computer are all marked as being "Read Only", and I want to know why.<br />
Read Only means I can't adjust them at all, even to right an upside down tree.<br />
<br />
I know that I can go into the properties and switch it, so it is no longer Read Only, but doing that individually is kind of a pain.<br />
<br />
Yeah, I do have lots of upside down trees. What of it?<br />
