No! I have no idea why people are killing each other in Schenectady!

And this is how violence in the ghetto starts. Person A harasses Person B for some perceived offense that may or may not be real. Person B tries to get law enforcement to do something about Person A but law enforcement refuses. Then finally, at his wits’ end, Person B loses control and does something to Person A. And the cops blame it on the neighborhood, or the drugs, or poverty when the reality is they refuse to step in until the situation has erupted into violence, and someone’s hurt or dead.

I am not politically correct. Sorry for the confusion.

So often, growing up, I heard that it’s wrong to see color. That classifying people is dangerous. That it not only hurts our country’s ability to be a community, but it hurt’s the feelings of the people who are being classified. And I always thought, “Why does it hurt someone’s feelings to be who they are?”

We’re super stoked to announce that our very own home state has legalized same-sex marriage! Last night, the New York State Senate approved Governor Andrew Cuomo’s bill, and Cuomo signed it into law just before midnight. Provided nothing gets in the way, LGBT couples will be able to get hitched starting in late July, making [...]

So, Jenny (TheBloggess) offered a $30 gift card to the first twenty people to comment on her post to let her know they need a little extra help this Christmas. And… You know what? I’m gonna let her tell it. She did it best.

I am not now, nor have I ever been, politically correct.

I don’t get the need to be. I’m not interested in getting it. And I’m not going to pretend to be PC because that’s the way we’re “supposed to” be here or anywhere else. Read more »

Want your state to get on board too? Wear a White Knot in support of marriage equality and tell people why you’re wearing it when they ask. Explain why you believe in marriage equality if you have the time and they’re willing to listen. Tell them why it matters to us even if it doesn’t matter to them.

“What, baby?”

“I don’t get these people! They get themselves all worked up and stressed out, and go and shoot someone, right?”

“Yeah?”

“And then! They’re arrested and their life is over. What’s the point? It solves nothing!”

As much as I loathe my husband’s ex for living off welfare and his support money instead of getting off her fat, lazy ass and getting a job, it absolutely disgusts me that she’s just been evicted because it takes you two business weeks to process an electronic payment.
