Lords of Kobol, hear my prayer...

Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has finally been ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court

Republicans are now drowning in their own tears. Some of them are now threatening to move to Canada, even though universal healthcare has been part of their system for a long time now, same with the support of gay marriage and other things Republicans actively hate and despise. Other GOP members are thinking about having an "armed rebellion" to overturn the Supreme Court decision. The latter is quite frightening, though not surprising, that these people would resort to violence to actively oppose something so harmless and peaceful and humane as universal healthcare.

Needless to say, not even the tiniest violin is playing for these idiots who lack human decency and compassion.

In any event, I am very happy with this news. It's not a perfect system, but at least it's a step in the right direction. It's something that has been needed for a long time, and it's just sad that it took this long for people to officially say that healthcare insurance is a constitutional right.

Obama Administration: DOMA Unconstitutional.

A-freaking-men! I just about cried with absolute joy when I heard this yesterday.

I don't think I'll ever understand the blatant hatred and outright spitefulness towards something as beautiful as love. Why can't these people see this is by no means a threat to marriage? If it doesn't affect them personally, why should they even care of two men or two women marry each other? Why should it even matter to these people what others do with the privacy of their own lives? The "protection of the sanctity of marriage" is just a bullshit line to sugarcoat their bigotry and fear of same-sex couples being recognized as human beings in our society who share the same rights as they do. There's also something called separation of church and state, which has been severely ignored by many in these kinds of debates and that really needs to change.

Love isn't a privilege, it isn't something on reserve only for heterosexuals. To think that is downright disgusting and inhumane. You cannot take away the rights of others simply because you disagree and have opposing opinions on the matter.

I believe this decision is another step forward in the right direction, and I hope it goes through. Yes, we can. ♥

I love our First Family, so fucking much. How can anyone hate on them? Lookit the adorableness of their little family, the girls welcoming their daddy home, hugs and smiles and just, omg. From all the nastiness and mind-numbing debates in politics right now, this has me melting and filled with warm fuzzies all over. ♥

Also, further proof that Barack Obama is a complete and total dork, and we love him for it. ♥ ♥ ♥

I caught up with watching a sneak peek at the upcoming season of Heroes, out of mild curiosity since I am no longer watching the show. Honestly, I don't know what to think. Given the amount of fail the show has given last season with ruining of characters, and now it seems that Mohinder is hardly going to be featured, if at all, this fourth season, I have little hope the show will become what it used to be a la first season. And I don't mean it should go back to that, but at least keep with consistent storylines and not rectonning everything just because they have a "new flashy idea of a plot!" I'm over this show, although strangely I just keep looking at what is coming next because, really, Heroes has turned into the lulzy trainwreck. I can't help but mock from the sidelines.

I have nothing else to say but OMG GLEE! :D And SUPERNATURAL TOMORROW, YAY! \O/ And Sendhil Ramamurthy will be on Friday's Psych, whoo-hoo!

++ For the sake of what happened in the SPN fandom I will say it was quite an unfortunate situation and I am deeply as shocked and disgusted as anyone else by the heinous acts and cruelty another person could do out of spite. It was completely uncalled for, and I believe that karma will turn and bite that person in the ass for what they'd done, and praying the other will recover from being victimized in this manner. Also, for the record, be reassured that I would never ever commit such a horrible act against anyone, from disagreements or otherwise. I find it petty and childish to resort to such behaviors. I love and trust everyone on my flist, and I also know none of you would ever do such a thing, which makes me grateful. *hugs you all*

++ I have recently discovered The Tudors. I have been mildly interested and curious for quite some time and, in the midst of my returning fandoms, I have begun watching the first season. I'm still midway through it, but already fascinated with it. Of course there are historical inaccuracies, but it's a gorgeous series nonetheless. With lots of graphic sex, boobies and man-ass to be enjoyed. And I pretty much want Anne Boleyn's wardrobe. Srsly.

++ President Barack Obama -- it's so refreshing saying that now, amirite? -- has signed numerous executive orders within the several days he's officially been in office (including closing down Guantanamo Bay, overturning the ban on international funding for abortions, having the U.S. approval for the first stem cell research, even to uphold his promise to stop the "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the U.S. military. As these are just among the many things he has planned for the next four years.) I have to admit, this is my first time ever paying close attention and interest to anything involving the presidency and political issues. Usually talking about it before would get my blood to boil and I would refuse to discuss it further, but nowadays with our new president I have a feeling we will make a grand turnaround from how things have been over the last several years. And I have very happy for that.

And I'm also happy to discover ontd_political, providing the appropriate lulz for the right kinds of stuff, and informative news articles which we can either praise or growl and make fun of at the same time. *g*

++ Mah Battlestar Galactica review to come soonish. So much to talk about, plus a theories post which I meant to do before but, now I have more to say. Hee. I also may do a separate Supernatural post, something with more meta or theories regarding this current season, or what I would like to see in the coming episodes, sans spoilers or course. 'Cause I don't read spoilers. I know, I'm a pussy.

I am fully and completely prepared for Barack Obama's inauguration tomorrow morning. Finally the beginning of a new era, the beginning of change, where history will be made as he will be sworn into office as the 44th President of the United States It still feels so surreal, and even after watching the programs like the Yes We Can! which overview his life, his dedications and passions to the elections, I can't help but get emotional. It's going to be a proud day for America, and how appropriate for it to follow yet another historical day that was today of the remembrance of Martin Luther King Jr. I'll be watching it tomorrow, as I'm sure many others will too.

My only fears are assassination attempts, since there was one planned out on him during the elections, though was thankfully prevented. However if there's anything to learn from history is that those that want change in this country are often targeted than those who aren't, and even while it's obvious people in this country want change there will be those individuals and groups that do not. So I'm praying nothing like that happens.

I said I wasn't one for prediction of the new year ahead, though with the inauguration, the returning of fandoms and my own personal life going well and steady at the moment, it appears that 2009 is starting off pretty darn well. And I'm grateful for this start, I truly am.

I'm still on a high from Battlestar Galactica, and even after posting my review/meta I'm conducting my theories as of this moment. OMG THIS SHOW DOES SOMETHING TO ME, I CAN'T HELP IT.
