Monkey Chatter of the Mind
Ahoy! I'm Becca, and these are the inane ramblings and discoveries of a twenty something South African Jewish Director/Actor/Professional Bunburyist living and studying in New York. I am decidedly ENFJ, an Ally, very liberal, and am generally tolerant of everything besides willful ignorance. Occasionally, I wax rhapsodic about olives.

Feminism as defined by Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court and the world’s fiercest jurist, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Eloquent as always.

For the first eight years of our marriage, [Michelle and I] were paying more in student loans than what we were paying for our mortgage. So we know what this is about.

And we were lucky to land good jobs with a steady income. But we only finished paying off our student loans—check this out, all right, I’m the President of the United States—we only finished paying off our student loans about eight years ago.

Tennessee wants to remove slavery from their history books because they don't want to give their founding fathers a bad reputation.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? 

I’ve always felt that the Tea Party was basically a thinly veiled, pathetic excuse for being really racist.  And this proves it:

No portrayal of minority experience in the history which actually occurred shall obscure the experience or contributions of the Founding Fathers, or the majority of citizens, including those who reached positions of leadership.

Well, guess what assholes, WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE MINORITY NOW. And remember that “socialist” president you keep railing against? Well, you should know that the last society that sanitized their history was STALINIST RUSSIA.  

And the saddest part about this is that it might even pass.  Similar things passed in Texas and the Tuscon, Arizona school district.

Could not agree more.

I am beyond frustrated with Congress in general right now.  My original plan was to go live in England for a few years.  I might make it permanent.
