Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

I, for one, welcome our new celibate ex-gay overlords.

So we’re at the zoo this weekend, and Aaron says, "I, for one, welcome our new prairie dog overlords." 

Which brings us to this, or more specifically this.

I just love the Simpsons. The original version is from Episode 96, "Deep Space Homer" from Season 5 of the series:

"The spacecraft has apparently been taken over – "conqured" if you will – by a master race of giant space ants. It’s difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive earth men or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new insect overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality I could be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves." – Kent Brockman

And then this guy made it MUCH more boring: Link 1 and Link 2.

"Memetic phylogeny" – What will they think of next?!

Today I had supervision, and I mentioned the LIA/R situation to my supervisor. She said, "Yeah, I saw a little something on the news, but I couldn’t tell what was going on." Yeah, there was about one minute of coverage on the news last night. It was so fast that I heard them say Love in Action, turned away from my computer, and I barely got a glimpse of the scene. Anyway, back at work, another guy pops his head in and asks about the situation. He says that he was watching the news, and for about half an hour they were talking about an upcoming piece about LIA/R, but then the piece was so brief that he couldn’t figure out what it was all about! He’s right. If you blinked, you missed it. This guy said, "Now I thought we’d already decided that when people are born gay, you can’t change that." Hilarious. I mean, YES! "We" (as in psychologists) HAVE worked that out. What a tricky situation this is.  

EJ reported on his blog that after the investigation, there was no allegation of child abuse against Zach. I’m not surprised. Child abuse is triaged, and mental abuse comes after physical abuse, sexual abuse, and severe neglect. It’s sad that Zach can’t be protected using this route, but I wasn’t surprised about the outcome, not at all. I found a few links that may help explain abuse. Althought I found some information about mental abuse in the printed material from the Memphis Child Advocacy Center, I didn’t find any information about it on their web site.

• Child Protection National and Local Links 

I’m honestly not sure if it is possible for me to be a bigger nerd…

Nerds who wanna be like me, go here.

Whether you like him or not, Morgan Spurlock will be on the Daily Show (brought to you by Lipton… whuh?!) tonight. And come on, no matter who’s on that show, it’s JON STEWART!

This blog post touched me. Peterson was divine. I’m going to write about his performance soon. And maybe before that, I’ll get me some of them NACHOS! YUM!!!
