valarltdHappy Birthday, Dr. Seuss. May your afterlife hold all the zizzer-zazzer-zuzzes you could want.

Not only are gay people unconstitutional, we apparently have fangs as well. (You'd think my dentist would have said something.) Not that there's anything wrong with that:
~~~
Antibiotic-immune MRSA on the rise Scary stuff, that.

It's March, which means "Irish as I Wanna Be."
Let's kick off with some Flogging Molly.
The math of ebooks.

Also, some laws are stupid and discriminatory. Laws can change. Laws like this should change. Laws always change, or some just get buried and never enforced until some idiot wants to make a point.
My point being that saying crap like "Perkins is defending current law, and is advocating for the time-honored principle that homosexual conduct is incompatible with military service" is making the assumptions that the law has always been and will always be, which is total BS. And stupid.
I am really tempted to email the guy with my battle cry

I've read a lot of primary source material from the General's time, including his expense account (fascinating stuff--he drank a LOT) and the letters he used to send to General Gage complaining about impolite behavior of British soldiers on picket lines, or apologizing for such behavior on the part of Continental soldiers.
One can wander over to the Library of Congres web site and scroll through screens and screens GW's orders of the day, letters to subordinates and the Brits, all nicely organized by date.
So if this guy DOES have a citation, let's see him produce it.
Betcha a bowl of hot punch he doesn't have one.

And unlike this guys 'fakts', what I said about Von Steuben is pretty well historically documented. It just isn't talked about a lot.

Date: 2010-03-02 08:50 pm (UTC)Letsee. My agenda is...
Finish project at work before 6.
Make dinner for my spouse.
Unpack at least two boxes from moving.
Wash dishes.
Get in bed by 11PM.
I admit that making dinner from scratch instead of purchasing some bulk frozen food at Wal-Mart and shoving it in the microwave is a little unamerican but... I don't think it's unconstitutional. The founding fathers didn't even have microwaves.

Oooo, scary.
