Random Musings

Chick-fil-A is a homophobic company, that couches it hatred of the LGBT community with Christian rhetoric so...... Don't.Eat.There.
Need another reason? In California, a Chick-fil-A has fired a staff member who mocked two Asian customers by putting made-up names on their receipts. He  typed the names 'Ching' and 'Chong'--because he couldn't be bothered with getting their actual names--into a computer with their order and the names appeared on their receipts.
How Christian.
After  pictures of the receipts appeared on a Tumblr account, and Chick-fil-A bosses found out about the incident, store managers said they'd already fired the staff member as a result of the customers' complaints. Then a spokesman said the episode says nothing about Chick-fil-A's attitude as a company and is "simply [a] case of immaturity, failed judgment and human error" by one employee.
See, Chick-fil-A really likes Asian people, as long as they're straight, because I cannot see them firing an employee for printing 'fag' and 'dyke' on a receipt.


Jon Huntsman.
Just sayin'.



TLC has a show called 'All-American Muslim' and some of the advertisers, like Lowes, have removed their ads from the show because, you know, Muslims aren't American and Muslims are terrorists. Or, maybe Lowes and those other advertisers just like to kow-tow to the religious righ....wrong.
Well, Russell Simmons has bought up all the ads for the next airing of 'All-American Muslim' and now there are all sorts of petitions online suggesting a boycott of bigoted big businesses, like Lowes.
Go online, sign one, and stand up against discrimination.



What if you gave a debate and no one came.
Not even Queen of the Wacknuts, Michele Bachmann.
After only Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum agreed to be a part of a Donald Trump moderated 'debate', the Chump, er, Trump, has called the whole thing off.
Shoot.
It would'a been kinda fun, watching The Rug, The Newt, and The Frothy Mix act like they could be president.


Everything old is new again....and yet even more offensive.
The new ABC comedy Work It offends transgender activists as it portrays men who cannot get jobs so they begin dressing as women. And hilarity and transphobia ensue. Boob jokes, makeup jokes, sexist humor!
And it's been done before, without the offensiveness.
Tom Hanks anyone?
Peter Scolari anyone?
Bosom Buddies anyone?


I watched the A&E production/adaptation of Stephen King's Bag of Bones.
Both parts.
And I found it to be less than a bag of bones and more of a sack of sh.....


Carlos has a problem with night vision, so he doesn't drive at night. That's my gig. And he gets kind of Mister Magoo-ish in the house, too, and will, at times, run into a piece of furniture or chair.
It's good for a giggle.
Not so giggle worthy:
Yesterday I walked out into the garage to get something from the freezer out there. Upon closing the door I turned and headed back into the house, apparently forgetting that one must walk up two steps to enter the kitchen.
I hit the bottom step and fell straight down onto the kitchen floor. My only thought, as the trip and fall played out before my eyes in slow motion?
We have the most hideous 70s linoleum in our kitchen.


FauxNews never met a lie they didn't like to spin as true. Like the unemployment numbers.
Note in the first picture, the graph line of unemployment this year.
Now note how the graph line should actually appear,
FauxNews is FauxNews for a reason.

    Bosom Buddies was a great show. Very funny and inoffensive. I have not seen any previews of Work It but I plan to Skip It.

  3. "We have the most hideous 70s linoleum in our kitchen."

    This proves conclusively that sexual orientation is hard wired in the brain. Concerns about design and the quality of the furnishings (ie that '70's sheet flooring) superceded the survival instincts buried deep in your brain to use your arms to reach out and stop your fall.

  4. Chick-fil-a should be boycotted by all LGBT Americans and their allies.

    "Work It" is doomed to fail.
