Shame on you

Shame on you if you are racist.

Shame on you if you advocate the "hunting down" of illegal immigrants.

Shame on you if you don't realize that these are people too.

Shame on you if you have ever called Latinos by derogatory names, including "animals".

Shame on you if you think you're better than them.

Shame on you.

Hmmmmm

Today is Justin's birthday. Happy birthday!

Today is also the Primaries around here. I did not vote. Since the best that was offered to me around here was Mike Lee and Tim Bridgewater, both of whom make Bob Bennett look like Chairman Mao, I didn't care. In 10 months I will hopefully be moving and leaving you to your fate, Utah.

On a lighter note, this website is hilarious.

Dear Glee (contains spoilers)

You had such a good thing going. You really had my attention and love. And then you had to pull that adoption crap at the end of the finale and now I'm pissed.

Rachel is only supposed to be 15. She's still a child. So when she says that she needs her mom, it's poignant. When her mom says that she doesn't want a relationship because "Rachel is too old" and then she adopts Quinn's baby, I get more than a little irked. Children do not have an expiration date. Children will always bond with their parents if the parents will exert a little effort. Thank you for perpetuating the social idea that only babies are worth the effort. Kids in foster care and older children will remain there because adoptive parents will only want infants.

I will continue to watch next season, but if you pull the same crap again, I will be forced to hunt down Ryan Murphy.

Sincerely,
Miranda

Another conversation with Justin

While watching the Big Bang Theory episode when Sheldon tries to condition responses in Penny:

Justin: "You really ARE Sheldon, aren't you?" [This is said often in our household, sometimes multiple times a day]

Me: "So?"

Justin: "So what conditioning have you done on me? What have been my rewards?"

Me: "I use positive reinforcement on the kids. I only use negative reinforcements or punishments on you."

Justin: "Great. You're Sheldon with a sadistic streak."

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. I am Sheldon with a sadistic streak.
