Today one of the lady's at work brought me a birthday cake, totally impromptu! It was good. Had coffee with a pile of co-workers. Most of them were the ones I came out to in December. I guess they breaking in period is over and they see I am not this evil sex maniac. They haven't seen my......
I guess I was the subject of a colossal cosmic fuckup after I came out. Other than co-workers nothing. My whole family disappeared. Some may say I was being sensitive, but when you drop a bomb like that and suddenly no one calls you; well.
Anyway, as I described it to a lot of people, the elephant in the room is gone. I have a lot more brain power to devote to real things.
Unfortunately the real things are what is going on in the USA. I mean What is going on in USA? Beck, Palin, Limbaugh, Newt, Mitt & the santorum guy.
Yesterday two things, the first is an organization that helps women with cancer decided to divorce itself from an organization that helps women plan their lives. I volunteered for Alberta Cancer, i have raised $115,000 for them. They have similar fundraisers to the Komen group. If Alberta Cancer decided to drop Planned Parenthood. A lot of people would drop it.
The second issue yesterday caught me by surprise. Has there ever been a time when the President of the United States has been so disrespected? A former SEAL wrote a piece which made it to the Wall Street Journal (Murdoch owned). This guy questioned whether the President was putting SEALS in needless danger. Now think about this , this guy is questioning the President's rationale in taking out Osama Bin Laden, the author of 9/11 This is a former officer in a military unit. The incident I think he was writing about, he wasn't specific, is the Somalia affair. Remember Somalia, that's where Mogadishu is and where Black Hawk Down took place. But Black Hawk was real. So was a kidnapped American aid worker and a Danish one too. Now this goof thinks that the US was too forward in offending the peace loving Somalis by having a trained military group go in and do their job. I am a fire fighter. If this poor excuse for an officer was to stand up and tell us that, oh well those two people trapped on the second floor should have bought better sprinklers, I guess it is too dangerous for us to run into a building to save em. This guy would be crushed by the guys in bunker gear running into the building to save them. Case closed. SEALS train to do exactly what the president asked them to do. They probably had the best sex of their lives, or in a couple of months, when they came back. A gay man like me could have bad thoughts, well good thoughts. Anyway - thats what they do. They are bored doing endless training and not doing.
Would this guy and his GOP people prefer to have the President invent some excuse to suspect there are WMD's there? The only WMD in Somalia, is khat. It wipes them out, then they get up and scratch their balls and look for some more. The guards of the captives were khatted out when the SEALS came: guaranteed. It's a good thing they were in the dreamy part, rather than the manic part.
Anyway, for Canada's sake and the World's sake...oh and you too Americans. I hope Barrack Obama is elected to be President for a second term.
