Obby randomly did this and I was laughing too hard to be offended. I feel like my feminist should be upset by it, but he’s just so adorable!
Our two leading parties have been taking turns slow fucking us for as long as I remember, but we still line up year after year to vote for our favorite sociopath. Drives me up a wall. If I had one wish, I’d wish that every person in the US would have their eyelids taped open once every election season, and be forced to watch the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode where Kodos and Kang run for president by body snatching Bill Clinton and Bob Dole.
Then Jen would bonk me on the head and ask why I didn’t wish for a luxury submarine or a donut tree instead.
And she’d be right.

There was a point in time when our marriage would have attracted the audience of many a burning cross. Hell, if recent polls have any truth to them whatsoever, there are still places in this country where we would be judged. It’s such an alien concept to me, and every time I encounter a bigoted comment I have to snap out of it and realize that I’m not reading The Onion and they probably aren’t trolling… because those firehoses weren’t photoshopped, and people really did have to march and take up arms, and it really was only 12 years ago when “interracial” marriage was legalized in Alabama.
Now the cycle continues, and lo and behold, there’s never a shortage of people out there ready to “Preserve America”… again.
