When you wake up in the morning and the very first thing that comes into your head is:
“I don’t wanna be a cook or a fireman. I don’t wanna play trombone in a marching band. I just wanna be a Care Bear, like yoooouuuu!”
…you KNOW you need a holiday. 😆

Sometimes I’m pretty sure I live in the wrong part of the country

Jeezus! Don’t do stuff like that to me first thing in the morning! I’m fairly certain that is the highest concentration of painted peckers that I’ve seen in any five minutes of my life. Actually, I’m pretty sure it wins on sheer number of painted peckers as well. 😆

Now, what would happen if that happened in your town? Here, I can tell you there’d be a huge traffic jam caused by the little ol’ ladies running away from the horrible spectacle and slavering hordes of the religious right running toward it armed with Bibles, sharpened gardening implements, and –secretly– video cameras. In Seattle, somebody gave them a permit for that. This gives me such hope. Someday, I might be able to move to an actual blue state!

I have no idea what colour this state is, but you’re exactly right about what would happen. I’m in the (northern part of the) fuckin’ Bible Belt! Hell, if most of the people around here had their way, “the Negroes” would still live segregated. We’d all live happily every after, white and Christian, all decently dressed. Jeezus, I know that Canada is considered rather on the liberal side, but I never dreamed that such backward, backwoods ideas would still be alive and well in the 21st century. Have we not moved beyond that? Furthermore, I do NOT understand why America (in general, not every individual) has a heart attack if anyone under the age of eighteen sees (*gasp* ZOMG!!!11oneone) a BOOBIE, but doesn’t seem to have a problem with putting only a “disturbing image” disclaimer at the beginning of a prime time show about murderers, complete with crime scene photos or footage. WTF??

We Americans have a proud lineage to uphold: our population is made up of the decendents of religious zealots, criminals, political extremists, and social misfits. We try hard to walk in their [wobbly, lopsided] steps.
