On Bullying

There have been a lot of posts on my friends' lists lately about bullying and a lot of stories in the news about it, which has forced me to go back to my own childhood and actually think about sharing what I went through.  This part of my youth is separate from every other part.  It's the icing on a very large cake filled with bullshit and it's something that I think about less than most of the other pains from that time. 

I'm going to start generally, because it's the only way I can even begin to find a place to start.

( Cut for EPIC!Length.  )

This entry is long, rambling, repetitive, probably incoherent and I feel as though I've strayed from my essential point.  You be the judge.  

Good For CNN

Rick Sanchez called Jon Stewart a 'bigot' and essentially said that modern-day Jews don't face discrimination.

CNN took all of a day to fire him.  

Sometimes the good guys win.

For the record, having watched the Daily Show since Jon Stewart took it over, I can say that there is no more anti-racist, fair or balanced news reporter on the air.  He calls everyone out, not only those who share his philosophy.  If everyone who reported on the news was as unbiased as he is, the world would be a far better place. 

Writer's Block: The role I was born to play

Hmm, when I first saw this, I thought it said 'action film', heh.  But any film?

Lily Von Shtupp from Blazing Saddles.  "I'm Tired" was one of the greatest feminist comic moments in film history. 

If the question had been any action film, I'd pick Ripley, from Alien, :).  She was badass.  And she survived until the end of the third one AND got brought back to life in the fourth one, so um - I like being badass and surviving, lol!
