Soooooooooo close

First of all, thanks to everybody who not only helped me met but surpass my goal for this Sunday's walk for the Bennett Cancer Center. You all ROCK!!!!

Second, if there was anybody out there who wanted to donate and hasn't yet, might I be able to tempt you to (anonymously) help my dad meet his goal? He's only five dollars off as of me writing this and I know it would totally make his day to go over.

I say anonymously so that way he doesn't know that it was his daughter behind the final stretch ;)

It would be totally awesome if that happened. My dad is one of the most amazing dads in the history of ever. But for some reason he doesn't realize just how awesome he is. Hitting (or passing) his goal would be a great thing to happen for him.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Smacking down the stupid

You have probably heard (or at least I hope you have) about radio station KRXQ, aka home of Rob, Arnie and Dawn in the Morning, aka where transphobic bigoted assholes vomit their stupid all over the airwaves, aka NAMBLA. If not, GLAAD has a good roundup. The short version is that the show's hosts thought it'd be funny to spend a half hour talking about how transgender children are freaks who should be beaten with shoes. Good times, no?

The happy news, such as happiness can be found in a situation like this, is that people are pissed and have been making their displeasure known. This has resulted in companies like Nissan, Chipotle, Sonic, Verizon Wireless, and Bank of America pulling their advertising dollars from the radio station.

But the fight is not over yet. The hosts have refused to apologize and some companies haven't yet responded one way or another.

So what you, the viewers at home, can do is contact their sponsors and folks at the station (scroll down) to let them know just how much you appreciate this kind of humor brightening up the airwaves.

I've already done so, and I've included my letters for your enjoyment:

( To the advertisors )

and ( To the radio station )

Now go forth and kick bigot butt, assuming you haven't already.
