It's really worse than blowing up babies?

As if we needed it, license to make fun of all things Oklahoma is hereby granted, thanks to the latest federal legislator from that state to go on a homophobic rant. I thought Coburn was a little off his nut when decrying the apparently rampant lesbianism in Oklahoma schools, but Sally Kern is apparently really bat-shit crazy. Did you know that homosexuality is a bigger threat than al Qaeda?? I'd like to thank Rep. Kern for reminding me why I have never actually voted republican in a major election despite the fact that I am decidedly not a democrat. I'd like for John McCain (if he must be the nominee) to stand up and just admit that he actually doesn't give two shits about the "gay agenda," that the one thing not keeping him up at night is the "gay agenda," and that, dammit, members of the base for whom this is such an issue can go screw themselves. The two-party system blows.

Work hasn't been awesome for a few weeks, but I think it should be an on upswing this coming week. It has to. Or I might die. Last week was salvaged when I was sprung from my doc review to go to an ACL taping in the middle of the afternoon. The only downside was the new pair of four-inch heels I was breaking in that day. By the time Michael Stipe was done doing what he does, I couldn't feel my toes. But the shoes are super cute. And I think we all know that cuteness is all that matters when it comes to shoes.
