Wow!

Never fuck with strippers.  They are strong and have no problem kicking somebody’s ass.

ALL RIGHT LISTEN UP YOU PEOPLE LIKE THESE STORIES SO I’M GONNA GIVE YOU ONE

See this lady I’m hugging? That’s my great-grandma. She’s not even 80 (my family had babies young and then there’s me) but don’t let that fool you. I’m pretty fucking sure she’s the mob boss.When she wants something done, it gets done. Sometimes we don’t even know how.

BUT THAT’S NOT WHY I’M TELLING YOU ABOUT HER BECAUSE I COULD GO ON ABOUT MY BADASS G-MA ALL DAY.

This is why:

This picture was taken during the visit on mother’s day. Now, my grandmother doesn’t like living in a home because she still has her mind. The other residents, unfortunately, do not. There’s not a lot to do and it’s hard for her to get anything when the nurses are pretty preoccupied with the other, less sane residents.

So my dad says “Just act crazy with them. It’ll be fun.”

and I saw my chance

I told her to do something, quietly, so no one would hear. As we were leaving, her personal nurse gave us farewells (and was a bit condescending to G-ma, but I know that can’t be helped). Just before we walked out, the nurse said:

“That was nice of your family to visit.”

“Yeah. Always sad when they have to leave.”

At this point, my grandmother gives me a look and continues speaking:

“But it’s okay, because I’m never alone.”

(pause)

“Oh, what do you mean?”

“I always have my angel with me.”

“Awww like an angel watching over you? Like your husband?”

“No. A different angel. His name is Castiel. He wears a trenchcoat.”

Let me tell you, I have never laughed and cried so hard in my life to watch that nurse’s expression.

THIS IS WHY I LOVE MY G-MA. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD LOVE MY G-MA TOO.

When I am old I wanna be just like this lady.  She’s awesome.

“A few minutes ago Anderson Cooper asked [Charles Ramsey] if he would like a reward. Charles pulled his paycheck out of his pocket and said, ‘I get a Paycheck. Give the reward to the girls they rescued.’”

THAT’S what we should be talking about, not “how funny those quaint little black people are when they get on camera.”

This guy helps rescue three women, and people are making fun of him? Yeah, he used humor when he told the tale, and sure, it’s appropriate to chuckle when he does so. (Like when he said he “knew there was a problem when a young white girl ran into a black mans arms.”)

But to make fun of him? TO MAKE FUN OF HIM? TO DISRESPECT THIS MAN? THIS HERO?

Fucking shame on you. Dishonor on you, dishonor on your family, dishonor on your cow.

If you’re the kind of scumbag who makes fun of heroes, I suppose you can poke fun at him all you want, but if I’m ever in trouble and need someone to step up the the plate, I hope someone like Charles Ramsey is around.

This. A million times this.

Ten million times. This.

Charles Ramsey is a hero.  The fact that he has a sense of humor and owns his past and has tried to learn from it?  Those things make him a good person and a work in progress like the rest of us.

wow.

And now to add insult to injury, Rush Limbaugh is saying that it’s possible that the three VICTIMS were involved in some fucked up scheme to get welfare and food stamps.  Some days I really fucking hate people.
