Doesn’t every photographer who is alive today, wish they could be Annie Leibovitz??

Aid To Africa Like Only Oprah Can…
Oh, and while we’re on the subject:The BBC and other media outlets are all “aflutter” about the “gay bomb” story that is resurfacing after first being reported in 2005 and originating in 1994 after Bill Clinton, compromising, signed the anti-gay “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” bill into law on November 30, 1993. I suppose it’s good for another laugh!
The US military investigated building a “gay bomb”, which would make enemy soldiers “sexually irresistible” to each other, government papers say. Read more…
Kaboom Kerpowy!!!
By the way, the law referenced above is the same law that is still in affect today, despite the U.S. being one of the only civilized counties in the world that does not allow gays in the military. To wit:
Map of various countries’ policies toward homosexual people in their military.
Did anyone see the Republican Debate the other night when 10 white guys vying for the the votes of conservative Christians were asked if any one of them thought the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” Law should be repealed? Not one of them moved, let alone spoke. Apparently all of God’s creatures aren’t quite equal.Speaking of ridiculous laws, here’s another prime example from the f**cked up, conservative Christian, gun slinging, purity ball going, deep South: 
On Monday, as has been widely reported, a Georgia court ordered the release of 21-year-old Genarlow Wilson from prison, where he is 28 months into a 10-year sentence for “aggravated child molestation.” He received consensual oral sex at the age of 17 from a girl two years his junior. The state court’s order that Wilson be freed should have had him home within a day or two. But then Georgia’s Attorney General, Thurbert Baker, appealed the decision. So Wilson remains in prison.

Do they teach Chinese to 6 and 7 year old kids in other states besides California?? My cousin got this today from her son’s teacher. I don’t think I even knew what 2+2 was when I was that age! LOL
Dear Parent,
It is my pleasure to have your son in my Chinese class. He shows strong language learning ability, and performs at the top level both in speaking and reading. I need your support to encourage him leaning the Chinese language.
Sincerely,
Chinese teacher
Katherine Chong
Last but not least,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!!
Remember dancing in my living room on New Year’s Eve a couple of years ago?? Maybe you don’t!
Song of the day

I wish I was learning Chinese at the age of 6.
Thanks for the comments, CareyGLY. The song is actually “I’m yours” by Jason Mraz. Pretty good song. :) Take care!
I am not an official movie reviewer, but thanks for the comment. I am still in college, I hope to have some type of future in writing one day. =)
I’m pretty sure they teach Chinese every where… no? I started learning Chinese around 7 from my grandmother. She was a teacher back in the day. She was so strict. Always yelling at me while teaching me… got me really scared about learning Chinese. I guess that’s how people teach in China. But I was never good at it. I never really wanted to learn it. But that’s just the way I am. I have a hard time learning what I never wanted to learn. =P My mind just refuses to take the information in.
gaybomb!?! lawl..
The bomb idea throughly embarrassed me today.
It’s sad how the US is still so unaccepting to most things. (No offence.) I’m glad I live in Canada. (Again, no offence.) I mean, come on, it’s the 21st century! Queers are taking over the world! LOL!
Re: Oh… I didn’t know it was that had to find Chinese school in the States. Hmmm… where I live, you can almost find it anywhere. Do you guys have a “Chinatown”? In Canada, most of the major cities, like Vancouver and Toronto, have their own Chinatown. There’s probably some Chinese schools there if you have a Chinatown near by. I mean… it’s sad if a “Chinatown” doesn’t have a Chinese school. =P
Gaybomb roflllllllll.
By the way chinese is horrible to learn if you’re past the age of ten. The earlier the better, I say. It’s got so many rules and is very different from english. Your son is lucky.
It’s that Coming Out Insurance real? That’s something new.LOL
BTW, LOve that song : )
wishing america was like 40 yrs ago any way have an awsome day. but its not and i guess we have to live with it love shelly.
Learning Chinese in elementary?! I was still struggling with my English reading then…That’s a really good song by the way.
