Reckless Abandon

The output of dreamy idealism mixed with a bit of cynicism and sprinkled with sincerity.

If you look at it just from a legal standpoint there is nothing to argue. You can argue from a moral standpoint. You can say, ‘morally, I don’t like the idea of gay marriage’ because your church teaches you a certain thing. That’s fine. And we’re not asking anybody, or forcing churches to perform ceremonies. We’re not asking anybody to go outside of their religious beliefs. But marriage is not a religious right. It is a civil right. That is provided by the government. A church does not have a right to marry someone—except that it is given the right by the government. The government issues marriage licenses. The government decides who gets married and who doesn’t.

B-hole

This is too hilarious for me not to share. I am currently reading this interesting (to me, at least) interview with the New Girl showrunners, Liz Meriwether, Brett Baer, and David Finkel, which covers a lot of different topics. My favorite part is when they were asked what the most absurd note (from the network) they had received during their careers. 

“Finkel: Last year I had a long conversation with our (awesome) Broadcast Standards and Practices person. The conversation went thusly:

BS&P: I’m not sure what this is, but I’m pretty sure you can’t say “B-Hole.” What does it stand for?
Me: Butthole.
BS&P: That’s what I thought. You can’t say that. We’re not comfortable with that.
Me: What can we say? Can we say A-hole?
BS&P: No. No. How about “butthole?” I’d be comfortable with that.
Me: (giggling) So we’re good with “butthole” but not “b-hole”?
BS&P: (giggling) Yes.

Sometimes I love this job.”

Olympic Commentary of the Day: An Irish commentator takes on Olympic sailing (and its spectators) and the result is uproarious.

This guy is more than worth three minutes of your full attention.

(Not Safe For Work —  hilarious expletives.)

[biotv]

I would watch this kind of commentating ALL DAY. I love Irish people so damn much.
