KavEnough!

I don’t give a damn that Brett Kavanaugh was a rowdy teenager. He liked to put away a lot of beer back in high school, so what? So did I. But I do very much give a damn that he sexually assaulted someone (multiple someones!) and had every expectation of getting away with it, I do give a damn that he lied to the Senate Judiciary committee about several things during his testimony, I do give a damn that he was blatantly partisan in the things he said, and I do give a damn that in no way has he shown himself fit to be a supreme court justice.

To Kaep It All

To everyone on either side of the whole Kaepernick thing, I invite you to read this. Not my words, but very much my feeling on it all.

“I stand to honor the promise the flag represents.
You kneel because that promise has been broken.
I stand to affirm my belief that all are created equal, and to fight alongside you for that promise.
You kneel because too few stand with you.
I stand because we can be better.
You kneel to remind us to be better.
I stand to honor all that have fought and died so that we may be free.
You kneel because not all of us are.
I stand because I can.
You kneel for those who can’t.
I stand to defend your right to kneel.
You kneel to defend my right to stand.
I stand because I love this country.
You kneel because you love it too.”

— Andrew Freborg
