My aunt is a great woman.
As a minister in east nowhere, New York, she’s taken a very unpopular stand on gay rights. People have called her crazy, foolish, impetuous, and selfish.
She will very likely be removed from her job. At the very least, she is a social pariah, which is a difficult position for any minister to be in.
But no one ever earns respect for following company policy. Humanity has never been uplifted by following the community consensus. And there is nothing meaningful in doing what is expected of you.
She is very much a leader, indirectly telling her congregations that ‘we are wrong about this, and we need to do something about it’. To take action in the face of adamant opposition requires great will and character.
I am not worried about her future. The last decade has shown her to be a woman of great strength. It would have been much more damaging if she had not found the will to take this personal stand.
She makes me proud. Couldn’t say why, but I think her parents would have been as well.

In what may become a ongoing thing, here are a few definitions that most people don’t know, and I’ve been unable to find online:
White Hots: Apparently a Central New York phenomenon. A type of hot dog, originally produced by Zweigles, in Rochester, NY. When uncooked, they are all white, apparently due to a lack of any nitrates or food coloring in the production process. This supposedly makes them healthier. They have a distinctive taste, which tends to make them a personal preference; not for everyone.
Shit-Kickers: Heavy duty work boots, usually military issue. Black leather with thick soles. Popular in punk rock and redneck circles.

And just to prove, yet again, that I have no lie outside the couch…
1. The West Wing
What crack addict thought up the concept for tonight’s show? And have they never watched the series before? Somewhere out there, Aaron Sorkin is rolling over in a crack house.
They idea behind the episode is to show it as if part of a behind-the-scenes documentary. So everyone acted different. Talked different. Was less comfortable visually. You saw whole teams of people not in the regular series. You saw ways of doing things not done in the regular continuity.
All of which might be fine if it wasn’t for the fact that the regular continuity is already supposed to be a behind the scenes, day-to-day look at what goes on in the West Wing.
By having all these people behave completely different, you’re fucking with the viewers perception. Fucking with the “suspension of disbelief”. Millions of people watch every week, already knowing that it’s fake, but following the story. So which fake “reality” is the real “fake reality”?
