My Mom is a Fob

Friday, October 31st, 2008

MyMomIsAFob.com is a really funny website with pics, emails, texts, conversations – all things related to having a mom who is a fob (that is “Fresh off the Boat” – or recent immigrant). Fobs are generally of Asian descent – and if you had to take some kind of fish related item to school in your lunchbox, like fishcake, dried squid or octopus – chances are, you are a fob or the child of a fob, or at the very least fob adjacent.



This website is very adorable and cute, and good for pics of moms in plastic visors. My mother has so many visors, and some are pretty elaborate. She could be in Daft Punk! I think the visor has to do with the extreme sun paranoia that my mother has always had and instilled in me. My mother and father play golf every day and she has perfectly pale skin, while my father looks like George Hamilton. She wears the visor, he doesn’t.

Margaret,



First of all, I loved your NO ON 8 ad! I worked at APLA with Selene, and it’s great to see you using her great talents for such a worthy cause. You are an inspirational figure, and I send you my highest regards.



I’m hoping you will promote the video my partner, kids, and I have made in opposition to Prop 8. As you know, the latest polls out today show Prop 8 in CA passing. Anything you can do to get this out would be appreciated. Feel free to load/share/forward!



Thanks,



Kergan

Dear Friends and Family,



As you know your vote on Proposition 8 will directly affect us and our future as a family. We hope you’ll educate yourselves on exactly what Prop 8 is and isn’t, and have created our own video, which we hope you’ll watch and forward to your friends and loved ones.





With this election, we could see our rights eliminated or our family affirmed. It’s time to spread the love, and reject the hatred and discrimination of the past. We hope you’ll help us build a more perfect world by voting NO on Prop 8.



Thank you for your consideration!



Kergan, Russ, Mason and Marcus



The truth about Prop 8.



Palin Rallies

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008



I am amazed at the level of racism and ignorance there is in this country, and when I see videos like this, which are crazily common nowadays, I am totally shocked. But then I am also not. People are just fucking dumb. They think that politics is some kind of playground battle. They have no idea how bad their lives will become if they actually got what they wanted. Why do they even imagine that someone like John McCain or Sarah Palin would care about them?



Republicans only care about the super-rich, except when there’s votin’ to be done, because after elections are bought and sold, these people will get thrown away like the garbage they are spewing forth. What I see are mostly poor, frustrated, ignorant, misguided people who have been lied to so much by the government that they are just spouting off the lies in order to somehow make sense of the world. It is unbearably sad because they don’t see that it is actually Bush who was the ‘terrorist’ – who is sending their kids to die for totally made up reasons. They actually trust in a government that is killing them and wants to take away their freedom – and they don’t even know. These people should be pitied.
