Not so much with the knitting

I haven't picked up my needles since I finished the voodoo doll. Between housework, car stuff and and getting ready for out of town visitors, I just haven't had time to work on my projects. I may as well have been knitting, because little did I know I was preparing to kick it with the forces of evil. Please close your browser window if you don't want to read about The Politics.

The out of town visitors were born again. And Ann Coulter fans. Also, I think they voted for Bush. Both times. I believe I have pissed off that vengeful god I've read about. I only used that voodoo doll once! I swear! I would like to point out that these visitors are a friend of Monkey King's from his childhood and said friend's wife, not anyone I, personally, know.

As a gay loving, social program supporting, pro-choice, anti-war, BIGFATDEMOCRAT, being told that "the blacks vote Democrat for the welfare," is, uh, NOT the way I like to start the evening. Please know that Monkey King and I jumped all over THAT the instant we recovered from our shock that those words had actually been spoken.

So the night wore on. We took them out for Korean food. They couldn't eat with chopsticks. Anything spicy was out for the wife. They were confused by, well, pretty much everything on the table. Then we took them to Georgetown. I guess I was in the ladies room somewhere when M.K.'s friend suggested that I be given a copy of some religious book to help set me on the right path. Uh huh. (Side note: Yesterday in the Target parking lot, someone had thoughtfully tucked a copy of Jack Chick's tract, This Was Your Life under my car door handle. Coincidence? I think not!)

Y'all, that was just one night. Thankfully, they decided to do the rest of their sightseeing alone. I guess being guided around liberal minorities all day didn't sit well with them. *She said snottily.*

Anyway, that's my update/rant. I wish I had a cat so I could put up a better picture of an animal doing something actually cute, instead of Murder Fish doing something stupid. Oh well. Here he is.

"Shit bitch, you is fine! You must be tired, cuz you've been running through my mind ALL NIGHT. I lost my number, can I have yours? Uh, are those space pants? Cuz your ass is out of this world! Boy, you sure are quiet."

That dinner sounds like hell... the Korean food aside.

I'm sorry, I laughed. Was I supposed to laugh? In fact, how did YOU not laugh right in this woman's face?? People like that piss me off. Please tell me they dont have kids. That would really send me over the edge.

Hilarity! So that's why MK called me to see what I was doing Saturday. Out of town friends "wanted to do things on their own." Haha!

I know/have known people like that. Sadly, some are even relatives. It's scary to think that there are so many narrow-minded, judgemental people in the world. I think after the first comment, I would have been tempted to bust out the needles and yarn and start on another voodoo doll. ;-)

Wow! Talk about visitors from hell! And don't they know that discussing politics and religion is considered impolite? Only do that if it's someone you know well! Duh! Otherwise you run the risk of offending your host AND looking like an idiot. Or are those old-fashioned rules? Does that mean I'm old fashioned? But I'm only 39! Is that old? I digress. I'm gonna stop now in case I'm offending someone....

Yay for stupid fish! I did tell you that my goldie made the move just fine, didn't I?

Ann Coulter scares me. And I'm what most people think is conservative. She's just nuts. But damn, she knows how to get money from people! The same way Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern do.

I removed Monkey King's comment because it contained some heated content and at the end of the day, I *don't* want this to be a blog about politics and religion. We can all live our lives. I'm laid back like that.

The gist of it was, "Friend is a nice guy. (he is) MK was caught off guard by his weirdness. Ann Coulter sucks." The end.

Yeah I'm with Carol, it's one thing to have different views than your friends but when you're a guest don't bring that crap up. Especially when you're crazy. No one wants to hear that.

Wow. Wow. That reminds me of a funeral for a baby that I went to when some woman thought I was coming on to her husband then told me that I needed god in my life. She also outed me for not being a virgin. Nice. Gotta love those god fearing Christians who love to tell everyone else how to live their lives. Could you imagaine the state of the world if they ran thing? Oh wait...

I feel for you...

And Murder Fish??? Bwaahahahahaaaa!

The problem with bigots and racists is that if you don't tell them you think they're wrong they think you agree with them.

So, in your own house, you have to decide what's worse, offending your guests or allowing some narrow minded halfwit to think you're one as well.

I've got a live and let live attitude, but I wouldn't have let comments like that go unnoticed either.

I hate cats. Hate them. So the fish looks great to me.

They would have died. Absolutely died. Because I would have set them on fire.
