Labor Day

Fox plays hardball and asks the really tough questions*
- This man is lying.
It’s that type of double-talk that completely erodes their political position while simultaneously validating the bias you already know is there. It’s not Right or Wrong, it’s Us versus Them. The Fox viewing audience like everything to be about them: Their Money, Their Guns, Their Marriage, Their Language, Their Schools, Their Officials, Their talking points β an echo chamber to validate whatever selfish and short-sighted world view they have because every other channel they turn to reminds them that they’re not the only people walking the Earth.
The State Department should be issuing travel advisories for Florida, Texas, Virginia, and Louisiana because it has been raining stupid down there for months and surely they’re flooded by now.
It is tradition in the United States to wear your wedding ring on the ring finger of your left hand. People sometimes ask me why my wedding band is on my right hand instead of the left.
There are two reasons:
- I don’t have a traditional marriage. ((I especially don’t have a marriage that is completely undermined and devalued by letting same-sex couples get married, and that is what it means to have a traditional marriage in the United States if I am to believe a single word of what comes out of the frothy foaming mouths of a rabid and bigoted minority.)) I also think every marriage evolves and changes much like the parties participating in it, and I think it’s best left to those peopleΒ to negotiate what that is. If you’re married, you’re not married like everyone else. You aren’t married like you would have been married fifty years ago, and you certainly aren’t married like you would have been two-hundred years ago.
- I’m right-handed, and having my wedding ring on my right hand helps me be more mindful of my marriage. It’s my way of integrating The Eightfold Path without being a Buddhist.
Why I Wear my Wedding Ring on my Right Hand
Marriott Orlando Airport: I give you a ‘D+’
Tell Moses in the Attitude CafΓ© and those useless so-called valets that they’re now promoted to the Worst Hospitality Staff on the East Coast. And I survived the Worst Western in Atlanta, so I know what I’m talking about.
Room service people were very nice, as we’re the cleaning staff. But that isn’t enough to compensate for the monumentally terrible service at every other point in a five day visit.
Also, AT&T WiFi is fucking terrible. I cannot even believe they have the balls to charge for it.
