Diva's Revelation of the Week


The government today announced that it is changing its emblem from an Eagle to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed!

Commentary:

I've never been, nor will I ever be, a political hound. While I care deeply for our country and the rights for our people, I just don't get into the pseudo-political whinings that some people seem to thrive on. Instead, I'm off contemplating some poetic prose and how I can spin a tale that would move my cat to tears.

However, yesterday I realized that I'm politically pissed right now. I will be the first to admit that I voted Republician in our last presidential election and not because I was a huge fan of ole George W. but because I thought he represented the lesser of two evils. At the time, I thought I had made the right choice. Frankly, I've not been impressed.

As someone so eloquently said to me yesterday (you know who you are), why is it that our troops are still in Iraq after two years, gas is $3 a galloon, our National Guard has to stand at our borders to keep illegals from getting into our country yet our President seems only concerned with gays and lesbians wanting to marry and commit to one another out of love? Excellent question.

What exactly is wrong with this picture? The Bible speaks of many things but the greatest of all was concerning love. I grew up in a conservative Baptist home, like many of my peers and yes, I can quote you some scriptures and tell you of my religious experiences pertaining to attending church weekly for years. The value of what I'd have to share would hardly be worth my efforts.

However, what I'd prefer to tell you is what I've learned about spirituality and God's love. Somehow the conservative right has forgotten the number rule: love thy neighbor as thyself. That doesn't mean the neighbors you find worthy - it means all neighbors. People, love is not wrong and if we think passing a bill to stop love is a good thing - we're in far greater danger than we admit. Who appointed anyone the judge on what love looks like anyway? Jesus certainly didn't, yet we dare to use Him as an excuse for our self-serving purposes? Be very afraid, friends.

I think it's time that George W. mount the Trojan he rode in on and return to Texas.

Can I get a HUZZAH???
