“Bummer news from the king of the Bachelor franchise today. Mike Fleiss answered a fan inquiry on Twitter by saying there won’t be a fourth edition of Bachelor Pad, the cheesy fun spinoff of The Bachelor this summer. ABC confirmed that Pad, which has been a solid little player for ABC in the summer months, will not return this year.”

- Mike Fleiss says no ‘Bachelor Pad’ this summer | Inside TV | EW.com

So sad, but true. I was waiting for this one to get out there… (Don’t blame Mike Fleiss.) It’s a sad day for so many.

RIP Bachelor Pad.

In the next 2.5 months I will: graduate (finally), move across country, buy a house (fingers crossed), get married, and start my first job in my chosen career!

Goodbye 112th Congress!

Goodbye 112th Congress!:

think-progress:

A few of the worst moments from the least productive, most partisan Congress:

Almost shut down the government and hit the debt ceiling.

Let the Violence Against Women Act expire.

Voted 33 times to repeal Obamacare.

Created, then went over, the Fiscal Cliff.

Voted 317 times against the environment.

Shut down half the internet by proposing SOPA.

Ignored gun control after their colleague was shot.

Held a hearing on birth control where women couldn’t testify.

Gave the NRA veto power over judges.

And that’s not even the end of it.

Well, here’s the deal, anon. The Salvation Army is an evangelical Christian group, and they impose those beliefs on the people that they employ and the communities they serve. Here are a few examples:

They are so opposed to LGBT rights that they have lobbied multiple times for exemptions from Federal and Local anti-discrimination laws, and threatened to withdraw their services.

They refused to provide shelter to a homeless gay couple, unless they broke up and renounced their homosexuality.

They refused to provide a transgender woman with shelter that was congruent with her gender presentation, instead insisting she house with men. She chose instead to sleep on the sidewalk and died from the cold.

Speaking of gender, there was also this charming incident where one of their hostels refused to open the door for a 17-year-old victim who had just been brutally raped (or even call the police for her) because that particular hostel had a strict “men only” policy.

Children who can’t prove their immigration status are turned away.

The organization also disposes of any Harry Potter or Twilight related donations (rather than giving them to other charities), because they claim the toys are “incompatible with the charity’s Christian beliefs”.

During the Bush Administration (thanks to ‘faith-based initiatives’) they fired about 20 long-time employees (Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and Gay), simply for refusing to sign the organization’s statement of Christian belief.

So, that—in a nutshell—is what’s wrong with it.

Winter is coming… and so are their buckets. Remember this when they’re bothering you for change.

Consider that there are a number of worthy, non-denominational organizations all over the country that serve people without regard to their race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or anything else that rational people don’t care about. Those places deserve your money and your support.

Wil is wise.

Plus the whole refusal to pay for coverage of preventative medicine to women, staunch opposition to abortion, etc.

i had no idea.
