stuff that makes my head hurt: WWJCD

Before I get to The Happiness I need to unload my chest. Lets talk about Don't Ask Don't Tell. The House is debating on whether to overturn this law or not. So there have been deliberations and people have been speaking before Congress. Most of our current and former military vets believe the policy is a failure of several equal rights sanctions. Including the recently restructured ENDA, which is set to hit the House of representatives later this year. I wholeheartedly agree. Then Oliver North spoke.

In front of our nations representatives he flat out lied. AGAIN! Remember this is the same jackoff that we put on trial for selling weapons to the Iranians and other known enemies of our nation, then giving the profits to the Contras. I believe we call that TREASON!! How he got off I am still at a loss. Spouting 'conservative-scared of their own shadow-tea party bigots' rhetoric like Charlie McCarthy. He said that if we let in homosexuals the next group of people who will want into the armed forces will be pedophiles.

First off all someone needs to remind the former Lieutenant Colonel that homosexuals have been part of military service since before Alexander III of Macedon(Alexander The Great 356-323 BC). The Isrealis used them as assassins because they were adaptable and expendable. While I don't completely agree with that last statement it is true nonetheless. Some of the most powerful empires in history had homosexuals in their armies.

From a logical point of view, why would a pedo join the military? They are far more likely to buy a van or an amusement park. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CHILDREN IN OUR MILITARY!!!!! Ignorant BUFFOON! We are talking about homosexuals. Able bodied men and women who have proved they can do the job just as well as heterosexuals. At a time when recruiting numbers are still in the shitter, it is asinine to exclude anyone but those not loyal to this country.

Every day I try and live like Johnny Cash. Judge no one, love everyone. I think I have a solution though. We have prisons full of people who like to kill. Let them. Train them. Offer them early release for a job well done. Who would care about friendly fire then? It kills two birds with one stone, our overpopulated prisons and our undermanned military.

Lets get to the happy. Last week I kicked off my Black History Month Themed posts. I made a major misstep. There were no videos of female artists. We fix that this week. Next week I will re-post the place-mat rant. On with the shoe

I love Betty Lavette and I love this song. Wish it was from her appearance on Austin City limits but I couldn't find it anywhere. This will do.
