I was going to write about the Pentagon’s report on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell today. I was going to laud the report’s findings and our military’s commitment to equal rights. I might have even crowed a little about how bigots in D.C. and elsewhere can no longer use the Military’s policy as a shield to hide behind anymore. Even throw in a joke or two at Senator McCain and Mike Huckabee’s expense. But, the report speaks for itself, and many other, more qualified people have already spoken on the matter (here is a single example.)
I have to say I don’t understand why letting the courts do it is such a bad idea, but he Pentagon seems really against it… Anyway I’m not talking about that am I?
I’m writing to apologize to Finch. Who is Finch? Finch is that guy in your group of friends who exists merely to make fun of. This type of friend is most prevalent in high school, and Finch was ours. The group of people I knew and associated with in high school were a mix of the “coolest”and the smartest, as little as that means… and by all metrics Finch shouldn’t have been eating lunch or talking to any of the people that he did, I know High School is cruel.
I can’t think of a single time I was nice to Finch. Even worse, I don’t even know Finch’s real name. I think Finch was his surname but I really have no idea and my high school yearbook is.
So, Finch sorry for treating you as an object instead of a person. Sorry, for using you to make myself feel better. I hope you didn’t let how we all mistreated you get to you and that you are wildly successful today…
Wouldn’t that show us?
