From the comments at Body and Soul via Sisyphus Shrugged: See, me, I’m fine with his being gay. Hell, I’m fine with him being a prostitute, if that’s what he needs to do to live. What I want to see, and what thankfully I am seeing, is all of the right-wing pundits roaring anathema on left-wing blogs because by not … Read More
Chinese Arms
China has lots of them. (Scroll down to bottom of page to view incredible video of Chinese performers, who — believe it or not — are deaf!!).
Camilla Banned From White House
CAMILLA BANNED FROM WHITE HOUSE George Bush has banned Camilla Parker Bowles from the White House – because she is a divorcee. The unprecedented snub has effectively sabotaged Charles’s plan to take his bride on a Royal tour of America later this year. (Source) A divorcee? Never! A gay hooker, on the other hand . . .
Bat Boy the Musical the Movie
Word comes from our dear friend Miss Emily Mark — who apparently doesn’t have a website yet (*ahem!*) — that they are making Bat Boy into a movie. She don’t lie. We have a special affinity for that show. John Landis is slated to direct. No word on casting yet. But if you are out there Mr Landis, may I … Read More
NOW They Tell Me!
Last week, a dozen of the top American law journals announced their commitment to reducing the length of law review articles. (Source) P.S. Speaking of academics, here’s a pretty good honors thesis.
Who Is This Man?
This American won the Nobel Peace Prize and saved billions — not millions, but billions — of lives. Yet . . . …take a quick poll among your friends and see how many people can tell you who Norman Borlaug is and then see if the same people know who Ashlee Simpson is. Then come back and try to convince … Read More
Bush To Churches and the Poor: Fuck You!
Remember all those times when Bush was eager to show what a compassionate conservative he was? You know, with all his faith-based initiatives to help churches and others assist the poor and needy? Turns out it was . . . (imagine my surprise) . . . a bunch of PR bullshit. In fact, one guy says that the Bush White … Read More
Everybody’s Getting Religion
The United Church of Christ gets it. Kudos to them. And Billie Miller, a woman in Ridgecrest, California , lost her religion a couple of weeks ago: I can’t believe the vicious slander of some people who have the nerve to portray or suggest Jesus behaved as a Liberal. Jesus makes his position very clear. The wisdom of an "eye … Read More
New VW Ad
I thought I couldn’t be impressed by computer-aided special effects. I thought I had seen it all. I was wrong. (Quicktime Movie — takes a while to load — to truly appreciate, make sure your sound is on) Is Gene Kelly rolling in his grave?
Nice Work If You Can Get It
Even though it is not opening for another five months, many are eagerly awaiting the premiere of "Star Wars III: The Return of the Who-Gives-A-Shit". (Actually, it is "Return of the Sith"). But Jeff Tweiten in Seattle, Washington is going a bit too far. He’s lining up for a ticket now. He’s even got a couch in front of the … Read More
Eyes On The Prize
About 20 years ago, I (like millions of others) saw an extraordinary documentary called "Eyes On The Prize". Shown in multiple parts over several days, the documentary is without a doubt THE documentary chronicling the United States civil rights movement. I have long wondered what happened to film, expecting it to show up on DVD one of these days. Sadly, … Read More
“What the . . . (trailing off)?!?”
Plugged In is a magazine and website that reviews movies, television and music from a Christian perspective. It’s a James Dobson venture, and has been popularized recently when it reviewed the Spongebob Squarepants movie and suggested that Spongebob was gay. On a curious lark, I wondered what Plugged In thought about the movie "Kinsey". Now, I haven’t seen this movie, … Read More
This Seems Unnecessarily Complicated
Outsourcing McDonald’s Drive-Thru? At the McDonald’s drive-thru in Hermiston, Oregon (a small farming town in Eastern Oregon, we’re told), your order is taken by someone 1,300 miles away in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The order is then conveyed back to a computer screen in the McDonald’s kitchen in Hermiston, Oregon, who make your McMeal as only they can. Coming to … Read More
Queer President for the Straight Country
Now that we know what to look for, Salon notes that clues to Lincoln’s gayness can be found in other biographies as well. Example: "He was always … writing poetry." (Lincoln, by David Herbert Donald, Page 33) "[T]hey noted … how affectionate he was to kittens and other pets." (Lincoln, Page 55) "To settle a dispute over which company should … Read More
Bush’s Daughters Are Whores
So says the stick-up-the-butt Christian group known as the Coalition for Passing Judgment on Others Traditional Values in this open letter to George Bush, which I will publish here below the fold. (The reason I refer to Jenna and NotJenna as "whores" is because according to Ezekial 23:5, Oholah was a prostitute — although this largely depends on the version … Read More
