Ewan McGregor is one great guy.
In a recent interview with George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America, Ewan McGregor makes a comment that is music to our ears. While talking about his current movie, George puts up a still from another movie Ewan shot with Jim Carrey. In it, the two are seen kissing. George's comment is nothing short of homophobic. He basically asks Ewan what's up with the picture. Ewan responds ""Well that's just two men kissing, and it's, uh, in this age, in 2010 it's extraordinary that it's still an object of humor." Love the comment Ewan! Then George proceeds to push saying "it looks like it's more than a kiss, you are making out". What an idiot. George Stephanopoulos needs to be yanked from his job on ABC. Ewan stood his ground and they moved on to the next topic.
Thank you Ewan McGregor for standing your ground and helping move everyone forward. Two guys kissing should not be a big deal. George, you're an idiot. ABC...you're losing your gay touch.

Was Austin plane crash pilot a Tea Bagger?
We all see those 'Tea Bag' party people spewing their weak message. "NO MORE TAXES"...sure, we all hate to pay taxes. But, have they not been living in the US for their whole lives? Every time I pass by a certain corner in my home town...there they are. I'd say there is usually around 10 of them. Holding the signs...some against taxes...other claiming Obama is pushing Socialism. What a bunch of uninformed cry babies. First of all...we already have some Socialism in our society. They have been around for decades..some almost since the birth of our nation. If these 'Tea Baggers' gave their cause a hard look...they would see it too.
-The US Postal Service. This has been around for so long...I'm sure most of the Tea Baggers don't remember a time without it. Sure...it's struggling financially, but everyone uses this service. EVERYONE. The 'Tea Baggers' even use it. It's a government run, low-cost service for all US Citizens. Hmmm.
-Social Security. Wow. This one was really controversial when it first passed. But now, everyone expects it. Most of the 'Tea Baggers' are even collecting it. They even complain that the money might run out. It's a 'tax' that everyone that works pays into...and collects upon retirement. Hmmm...sounds a lot like a government run retirement plan to me.
-The Military. Ok...I know for a fact that every 'Tea Bagger' expects to be defended from any outside force against the US. Hello? The military branches are government run agencies funded by taxes.
-Your local police department. You mean that the 'Tea Baggers' expect not to have local police to protect them?
-Your local fire department. Yup. The fire department is another government run agency funded by taxes.
-Education. (K - 12 Grade). Ok....some people can afford to send their kids to private school...and some public schools really stink. But we still have the option for public education that is paid for through taxes.
-The highway system. Almost all roads in the US are public 'free' roads that are funded through taxes. From the Interstate systems...so your own street in the front of your church and house.
-Medicare/Medicade. I don't even have to tell you it is tax driven.
These are just a few of the services we all pay for through taxes and expect the government to supply. Adding healthcare seems to be the next step in our evolution. If not 'free' healthcare...at least overhaul the process to make it easier for people to get coverage. A strong civilization has to look out for the health of it's citizens.
Now on to the Austin plane crash this past week. The pilot fought with his family...then took his private plane and crashed it into an office building in Austin. It is the same complex that houses an IRS office. The note he left behind (a suicide note), said that he was mad at the government and IRS for his taxes and they ruined his life. Hmmm. I wonder if this pilot was part of the 'Tea Bagger' movement. I wonder if these Tea Baggers are gong to start to do these minor acts of terrorism. I wouldn't put it past them. Just look at what they are doing now. It's one thing to be a fiscal 'conservative'...but when you take extremist views and throw in religious preachings and social 'conservative' views...it's a recipe for disaster.
When we forget what we are fighting for.
Just when we sometimes feel that we can't fight anymore...or forget what we are fighting for, a great video reminds us. Take a look at the video of inspiring photos set to song (Susan Boyle, "Who I Was Born To Be"). While there are an awful lot of 'rainbow' pics, it's a symbol of our hope. The words are quite inspiring too.
Susan's voice is powerful and when you pair it with these images, you'll understand.
Sarah Palin still doesn’t know anything.
Sarah Palin is making all kinds of money speaking at these 'Tea Party' conventions. It just proves that you can pay someone $100,000 and they still don't know anything. She hammered Pres. Obama for using a tele-promter. Uh...and? At least he doesn't scribble notes on his HANDS! Sheesh. Sarah had to write notes on her hands and ACTUALLY LOOKED DOWN AT THEM during her speech.
Then during an interview with FOX News, Sarah jumps in to defend Rush Limbaugh for calling liberals "retards". Well, that makes sense. Why? Because she (Republicans) wanted to slam Rob Emmanuel on saying one stupid comment. Sarah, looks a bit taken aback on the question though. She said that Rush wasn't recorded saying it. What?? And listen to how she answers it. She is just as dumb as ever. The sad part? She defends anyone using the word 'retard' in such a negative manor (like Rush)...since her child has Down Syndrome. Sarah is not only dumb...but she's a bad person.
