Oh, Helen Mirren, no.

Anti-fat legislation in Alabama may have deadly consequences.

Why I don't support the Jerry Lewis telethon: Lewis was contacted because the young man said he wanted to go off the vent and die. Lewis reported to the Telethon audience that when he telephoned this young man, he apologized to Lewis for not beating the “disease." He'd told his parents that he was sorry for having brought them down and being a burden. He took himself off the vent (which could not have been done without the permission of his parents). This, said Lewis, is why we have to beat this disease. Lewis said not a word about assuring him that he was not a burden, or arguing that this was a bad reason to decide to die, or suggesting that he wait-and-see, not even to wait for the cure the Telethon has been promising all these years.

And, just to cut through the depression: Rescue Ink, an organization of bikers against animal cruelty. Do I have to mention how bad I want a Jeff/Jensen AU where Jeff is a big bad biker who saves kittens? No, I do not.

I thought the Helen Mirren thing was about this:

Cocaine is just fine except when it supports Nazis.

Ack, so much wrongness. I AM trying very hard to lose weight, but the Alabama thing pissed me off because I don't even know that I'll ever get below that magic 35 number myself. I just want to be less fat so that I can be more active and feel better. My blood sugar, pressure and cholesterol are just fine and dandy at nearly a BMI of 60, but nobody seems to care about that. *snarls*

But I think Jeff needs to join up with that group and be their poster boy. :)

However, she said: "I don't think she can have that man into court under those circumstances."

To me, that reads more like saying that in 'he said/she said' cases, it's not going to go to court because there's insufficient evidence.

Really Alabama? Are you sure you want to go there?

Do I have to mention how bad I want a Jeff/Jensen AU where Jeff is a big bad biker who saves kittens? No, I do not.
It's like a...moral imperative! /Real Genius geekery Plus, I already have scenarios playing out in my head involving shy!animal lover! Jensen...and Jeff in leather *cough*

God way to suck Alabama. i am seriously ashamed that that is my ancestral homeland sometimes.


But Rescue Ink makes me so happy. Jeff as a animal loving biker would be the best thing in the world

I love helen mirren and I want to defend her, but what she said was so fricking wrong.

[identity profile] niccy07.livejournal.com 2008-09-03 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Hm I totally think you should right it. Totally. Also, bikers and animal cruelty- well that's different. Good different, but still different.

Great minds thinking alike or something...a friend of mine posted a link to the Rescue Ink article. After squeeing over the shots of the guys holding the puppies & the kitten, I thought of you two. Lo, you already saw it! *laughs*

If one of those dudes came around and told *me* my doghouse needed more shade, I'd damn well make sure it HAD MORE SHADE. *build deluxe doggie condo, pronto*

That one pic with the tiny, tiny kitten in those big, tough guy hands...I don't know if I was more "grabby hands" over the kitty or the biker.

I would so read that AU in a heartbeat. Possibly less than a heartbeat. I love Rescue Ink. *note to self-- remember to add link to them in your LJ sidebar*

Also, hi! Found your fic and am now an obsessive fangirl. :-D

Since the thought of Biker!Jeff saving kittens refused to leave my head I already have ~600 words of Biker!Jeff/VetStudent!Jensen... Is it too late to ask if I can adopt the bunny?

[identity profile] nilchance.livejournal.com 2008-09-09 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
*laughs and laughs*

That's fine! Please let me know when the results are ready?

\o/ yay for infectious bunnies!
