Feminists Don't Cry For Benazir Bhutto
2008-01-12 06:50:00
Although there has been a remarkable quantity of dumb stuff said since Benazir Bhutto 's assassination, did anyone else notice the deafening silence from American feminists ?Of course, Hillary Clinton called for an international investigation of Musharraf's possible involvement in the hit. But, I did not hear, nor am I able to find, many inspiring sisterly words about the first democratically elected female leader of an Islamic country.On NOW's website there was nothing. They were much more concerned about Christmas toys which unacceptably promote gender discrimination.For these women, Bhutto belongs in the long list of female leaders who have been relegated to the feminist ash heap. The former prime minister is in feminist purgatory along with such powerful women as Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher, Eva Peron and Indira Gandhi.These powerful women do not meet feminist muster because they were not leftists, and more importantly, not a single on...

Bike Dykes In and Becky Out
2008-01-11 09:08:00
Whenever you go to a Gay Pride Parade there are many colorful sights to behold—such things as men in silver speedos. Plentiful are the bare chested buff dudes in denim short shorts, which are skimpier and tighter than I dare wear. The Liberace wannabes are amusing and drag queens a staple. But my favorite has to be the Dyke s on Bike s. For decades the San Francisco Women's Motorcycle Contingent, has been traversing the landscape of America in their choppers, to raise monies for various charities and just spreading the idea that visibility matters. Since everyone called them the Dykes on Bikes, in 2003 the group decided to formally trademark the name.The first obstacle was some PC nerds at the patent office. The application was denied on the grounds the name was offensive to lesbians. And you girls thought no one in Washington cared about you. After pointing out to the bureaucrats there were all manner of women who not only were not ashamed they were dykes, but actually include...

Kerry Gives Obama Kiss of Death
2008-01-10 19:48:00
As if Barack Obama did not have enough problems, after losing the New Hampshire primary to Hillary Clinton ,whose newly found makeup was almost smeared with the tears of sincerity, he has now received the kiss of death from John Kerr y .Although it is kind of tacky, Kerry did not endorse his old running mate. Sunny Boy can now breathe a sigh of relief, and hope that his crusade to become the Huey Long of the new century, will ultimately make us all a king.Today in a rally in South Carolina, Kerry announced his support for Obama. This shows the same kind of political astuteness that is one of the reasons the only place the wooden man could be elected dog catcher is the People's Republic of Massachusetts.Kerry was silent when the New Hampshire primary was pending, a place where his endorsement might have made a difference, since it borders his home state. But people in South Carolina have a real hard time warming up to the lecturing of a profoundly arrogant stiff Yankee.Count on Joh...

Fuck Ron Paul—The Betrayal
2008-01-09 09:39:00
Breaking up always sucks. It's even worse when your suspicions were confirmed by a pimply Guiliani supporter, who calls himself libertarian, rather than the neo-con he is , in the futile hope this might someday get him a date with a gay dude.Jamie Kirchick is a wanker of the highest degree, who writes for the neoliberal prowar New Republic. On the eve of the New Hampshire primary he did a hit piece on Ron Paul.Unfortunately he has the goods.I have been hanging around libertarian types most of my adult life. So I realize the movement attracts more than its share of weirdos and misfits. Some are offensive, others just nuts. There are White Supremacists, 9-11 truthers, and apocalyptic survivalists.And that is cool with me. The Libertarian tent is large enough to accommodate most everyone. It would be boring if only the urbane folks from the Cato Institute were welcome. I like all the liberty loving cranks.One time I was together with some conservatives of the Idaho panhandle...

The Good Barack Obama's Constitution
2008-01-08 09:30:00
Barack Obama told a group of high school students, a few months ago ,not to be like him. He explained when he was in high school he was kind of a goof off, and was not adverse to a little toking, drinking, and even some blow.Of course, those kids are not going to follow Obama's advise—he was one of the cool kids, just like he is the only cool kid in the Democratic presidential contest.And just like all the boys want to be like, and the girls swoon over, the handsome exotic kid who arrived at their suburban high school by way of Indonesia, and can never be found carrying more than one book—America is crushing on Obama: And it should come as no surprise that Obama is more popular than the nerdy honor society president, who is quite smart, but kind of a mean girl. Though we feel sorry for her, when we spot boyfriend sneaking around with the little tramp.But, all too often the cool kid ends up selling insurance, so girls know that it pays to look beyond the glam before taking any k...

Romney is a Heartless Bastard
2008-01-07 08:02:00
The people of Iowa know a lot about pigs. And one thing they know is that you can slick up and color the hair of a pig, but you still got a pig. And so they sent slick Mitt Romney packing-- off to see if he could pull one on the people of New Hampshire. He won't be able to. This is because Mitt is the most hypocritical transparent fuckface in the presidential contest.It’s hard to come up with any policy positions Mitt Romney hasn’t changed over the last few years, to reposition himself as the most right-wing candidate.But the worst thing is, he is a heartless bastard.A couple of months ago he showed how sensitive he is with the disabled:Then he hauled up everyone's favorite hardass clown , Joe Arpaio, to stump for him in Iowa and New Hampshire.Most recently, the Mitt has been attacking Huckabee because, as governor of Arkansas, he granted too many pardons.How many pardons is too many for Mitt?One. As governor, Mitt never ran into one person convicted by our infallible judicial...

Environmental Federalism in the Kingdom of Bush
2008-01-06 09:20:00
Just like the federal government will not permit terminally ill dopers in California to exhale cannabis breath into the atmosphere, they don't want the Golden State Hippies restricting the amount of noxious gases the state's motor vehicles cough up.I have to wonder how long it is going to take for the tree huggers, and their leftist sympathizers, to realize the federal government is no more their friend than is the oil industry.The left has traditionally felt that no important function can be left in the hands of any entity other than the benevolent federal government. It is axiomatic with these boys and girls that the states are way too stupid and backwards to ever do the right thing. If clean air was left to these dumbass political entities, progressives just know the nation would turn into one big Superfund site.But that is not the way it has turned out.Even before George Bush converted the EPA into an agency committed to thwarting environmental policy, the attorney g...

Coming Out With Cher and Chastity
2008-01-05 11:00:00
As the studios moronically keep the writer's strike going, America is looking forward to an action packed winter of reality TV. However, there are a few things already in the can— some new episodes of post-twister Desperate Housewives, and Season 5 of The L Word , will air this Sunday. That same night is the premier of the promising Cashmere Mafia, all about some fashionably dressed kick ass girls, and with it, there is finally, the return of lesbians to Network TV. But, for the most part, it will be more of Biggest Loser, Super Nanny, Wife Swap, The Bachelor, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and such. However, I must admit that once American Idol rolls in, I am doomed. Same thing with Top Model.It was during the last strike that the industry inadvertently discovered that this kind of crap makes America as giddy as a schoolgirl after her first fingering. Perhaps the appetite is inexhaustible, and this will finally usher in the end of Network TV as we know it. Maybe ...

Obama is The Gift of The Message
2008-01-04 09:26:00
Before she gave up on me, my Mom used to foist all these self-help pop psychology books on me. I would sometimes actually try to read them, and they would even make me feel good, in the same way that cotton candy or nitrous oxide does.Last year some of my friends were reading “The Secret.” Out of curiosity, I took a look. It was pretty much “A Thousand Pages About Something I Refuse to Tell You.” But the book was good for a nice fuzzy rush, until the brain started processing the amalgamation of a thousand half-baked thoughts from a multitude of traditions, and realized it was just a dressed up version of the creepy Norman Vincent Peale's “The Power of Positive Thinking.”This New Age, no sacrifice, positive thinking, self-actualization stuff has been wildly popular for several years now. And one of the high priestesses and pushers of it, is Oprah Winfrey. Not surprisingly, given Oprah's extraordinary ability to tap into the American pulse, she has helped usher in the ne...

Ron Paul, New Hampshire and Fox News
2008-01-03 08:36:00
Did you notice that even though God hates scallops and lesbians, New Hampshire 's new civil union law (which is identical to marriage) went into effect on New Year's Day, and unlike the other states which have gone that direction, it was without any kind of push from those nasty activist courts?Thats just the way things are in the Granite State. They don't care what other states do. New Hampshire has neither an income tax or a sales tax. State Government, though thrifty, isn't too shabby either. Thats the reason for all those transplants from the People's Republic of Massachusetts.Oh, and adults don't have to wear seat belts or motorcycle helmets either.In New Hampshire they honestly don't give a rip what the media thinks, or who the 200,000 corn munching, ethanol pissing, bible bangers in Iowa prefer as the next Leader of the Free World. So when FOX News decided not to let Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul in their debate , they may have done them a big favor.Two of the most dece...

Immigrant Hysteria Fucks Up Economy
2008-01-02 07:18:00
If taking our money and wasting it was the worst thing politicians did, it wouldn't be all that bad. It's when they actually try to do something to the economy, and meddle in business, that the shit hits the fan.There are few things that Karl Marx and Milton Friedman would agree on. But Friedman would have agreed with Marx's assertion that "crackbrained meddling by the authorities can only aggravate an existing crisis."Despite their divergent views, both Marx and Friedman were economists. There is not one economist in Congress. But there are plenty of Santa Clauses. The spendthrift Democrats haven't really had much of a chance lately . But the Republicans, led by a president who makes LBJ look thrifty, have been doing quite nicely.Of course, idiocy in the formation of economic policy is not confined to the federal government. State Governments, such as Arizona, also dabble in this kind of thing.The Arizona legislature does not have any economists either, but they have no prob...

New Year's Day
2008-01-01 10:00:00
If you are reading this it means you survived a night of drinking. I must admit I am a Grinch when it comes to New Year’s. I actually find deeper meaning in Groundhog’s Day.It's not that I’m not sentimental enough—you should have seem me cry at Charlotte’s Web. But New Year's is sentimental in the same way that guys often get reflective and introspective when drunk. And I can not figure out what the lyrics of Auld Lange Syne are all about .Oh well—the earth has swung around the sun one more time. Had some tacos with the family, and watched the New Year's Rockin Eve. This was the first time I have ever actually listened to Miley Cyrus sing, and I don't care if I am of the same mind as the eleven year old set—I like her. And it has nothing to do with the pics which are circulating the Net, which prove nothing, except in the minds of such great moral authorities as Perez Hilton—though I must admit the name Hannah Montana has a certain stripper-like ring to it.Eve...

Bhutto's Death Not All About US
2007-12-31 08:38:00
All the American liberals and neo-cons are wringing their hands over the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. Our presidential candidates are also bemoaning it, displaying their purported foreign policy credentials and talking about all the things we as a country must do in response .Please stop—not everything is about you or America.For many years it has been our conceit that any International incident, of any importance, will have direct impact on America, whether it might effect American influence somewhere or actually result in repercussions against us.It is this type of thinking and behavior which continually gets us in trouble, and is the source of widespread disgust with the United States.Even though we give billions of dollars a year to Pakistan, that does not lessen the fact it is a pretty fucked up place. There are a lot of heavily armed Islamic nutcases, they got nukes, and Osama bin Laden calls it home.Of course, the fact that bin Laden is in Pakistan, has been a boon fo...

Boob Bait and Dicktrapment
2007-12-30 08:44:00
Now I am totally in favor of busting the balls of annoying fellows, like Kim du twat, who can not control themselves in the presence of female mammary glands. But, I think even a law and order guy, like little Kim, would find the behavior of the Columbus, Ohio Boob Squad to be a bit over the line.Robin Garrison, an off-duty 42-year-old firefighter, was walking in Berliner Park in Columbus, Ohio, in May, when he spotted a woman sunbathing topless under a tree.Topless sunbathing is legal in the park, but this was a case of boob bait. He approached her and they started chatting. Instead of telling him to take a hike, the lady smiled and rested her foot on his shoulder. Eventually, Miss Vagina Flytrap asked to see Garrison's dick. Like any woman would actually do this. But, like any red blooded American guy, he unleashed the snake. Since this was all a sting, the cops moved in and busted Garrison. They had the whole thing on video, which you can see here.What in the hell were the c...

A Tale of Two Sheriffs
2007-12-29 07:58:00
While Joe Arpaio, the Sheriff of Maricopa County, was up in Iowa bashing foreign born people, in an effort to harvest votes for Mitt Romney, Chris Vasquez, the Sheriff of adjoining Pinal County, was doing something much different. When the Goofiest Sheriff in America was assured that a President Romney would arm him with tactical nuclear weapons to protect the border, he was as giddy as the day he thunk up pink inmate underwear or the day the anti-aircraft gun arrived. It was almost as much fun as arresting the editor of a newspaper that published his address, or prohibiting attorneys from conferring with an inmate who was on trial for his life. Of course, Sheriff Joe, who is proud to be called a bully, also favors the biggest douchebag in the presidential race because he wants to even the score with John McCain. Senator McCain (along with the rational wing of the Arizona Republican Party) has attempted to toss Arpaio's butt out of the state.But a bit south of Phoenix, in Pina...

Registered Arizona Republican
2007-12-28 08:18:00
I am now a registered Republican in Arizona . And what a pain in the ass it was getting signed up. It was actually easier to get my concealed weapon permit. But that is not surprising in a state where it is illegal to put your dog in the back of a pickup, but throwing the kids back there is just fine.I was spurred on by an article yesterday in the Arizona Republic, about how the attorney general had determined that Independents could not vote in the presidential primary. I was not yet registered to vote in Arizona, and wanted to be able to throw my vote to Ron Paul, so I signed up.But isn't this primary system the most bat ass crazy way to pick our beloved leader? Why are Iowan Corn Munchers and cranky New Hampshire Swamp Yankees so special they are given the solemn duty of narrowing down the field for the rest of us?The fact that in the past we have selected as good of presidents as we have, is proof positive that God Almighty does indeed smile on our Great Country.

What's With the Ron Paul Chuckleheads?
2007-12-27 07:39:00
The mainstream media, though no longer able to totally ignore the Ron Paul candidacy, gives various explanations for his groundswell of support.The explanations are such things as Dr. Paul is able to tap into the anger of discontent in the country, the angst and impracticality of youth, various UFO enthusiasts who live in their mother's basement and gather together in the dark corners of the Internet between marathon wii sessions. All these groups augment the survivalists up in the Idaho panhandle and those hot libertarian chicks.He reminds the pundits a lot of the meteoric fizzle rock star digital candidacy of Howard Dean—though Ron Paul is a lot kookier.Maybe it is time these talking heads discard their kooky theories, and recognize there always has been a segment of the American population that is concerned about freedom. Perhaps after watching the vigorous dissipation of freedom and trampling of the constitution in the last seven years, freedom has become popular again. The...

Christmas Afterglow

Tannie me fanny—am I ever gonna get off that gosh darn naughty list?Well at least some other people thought well of me.Sis had another one of her wonderful theme days. And this was a second part from last year—she is apparently now into rolling themes. I am now the owner of every single existing article of clothing with Tweety Bird on it. That Warner Brothers clearance table was plundered--T-shirts, sweatshirts, socks, a coat, a hat, a windbreaker, sweatpants, tote bag, and coasters. It’s just incredible. But the thing is, I am not the one with the Tweety Bird fixation. That would be her husband’s ex-gf who has the little guy prominently tattooed on her left shoulder. Don’t think that chick got any Tweety merchandise—at least not courtesy of Sis.Mom never fails me. I always enjoy the scrumptious delicacies that come out of her favorite Wax Candle Baked Goods Store. I don’t know how she found a store specializing in wax pastries—but Mom did. Mmmm, mmmmm, just imagine ...

Season's Greetings from the Politicians

I suppose no one but me gets all warm and fuzzy when they see the politicians sending us their Season's Greetings. Nonetheless, I thought it would be a real treat to gather all these jolly old dudes together. For a day lets put aside the fact they have pointy heads, and rank them solely on the quality of their Christmas Greeting itself.I don't think any of the current crop of candidates can top this message sent out by Poppy and Babs back in the seventies. Christmas was a happier time for the Bushs back then, before Sonny was despised by most of the free world.For example, back in the 1970’s Dubya was just another harmless preppie jackass with tie and blazer strung over his shoulder and cigarette in hand:The Budweiser down by his foot was cut off.Is that really bro Jeb with his arm around Poppy? Sure as heck looks like Tucker Carlson to me, affecting the same stylish jacket/tie routine as little George.Heck, they all have their jackets and ties over their shoulder. All that ...

A Christmas Miracle in Colombia
2007-12-22 08:46:00
This is my Christmas gift to my readers and friends. I am sorry it is so long. I generally value brevity, but could not edit this one any more. I know it sounds pretentious, but I hope by sharing this, I can give each of you a little of what God gave me that Christmas in the Andes. It all started when I decided to take a year off from my post-graduate studies and went down with some friends to do a little climbing in the Andes. It had been a good trip.At the time, for a number of reasons, I was kind of estranged from my family. Besides my deep love for these mountains, this was my reason for being there.Christmas was just a few days away. My friends had left. I could have flown home in time, but I had already missed the two-month buildup to Christmas. Arriving now, with the holiday peaking, might give me the Christmas equivalent of the bends. I’d be coming up way too fast. So I drifted into the mountains of Colombia instead.Overseas travel at Christmastime is an excellent way...

Baseball Steroid Hysteria
2007-12-20 18:16:00
With the economy tumbling rapidly into recession, the country at war on two continents, the dollar shrinking like a cheap T-shirt, the pregnancy of Jamie Lynn Spears, our borders leaking like a sieve, and a president who fancies himself a king, it was so good to see Congress taking on the issue of steroids in professional baseball. Last week Senator George Mitchell released his report on the use of steroids and other performance enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball . Eighty-six players and former players were tagged as druggies.America, of course, was aghast. At first I thought the reaction was much like that of Inspector Louis Renault in Casablanca, who was so outraged to find gambling going on in Bogie's bar.But I honestly think a lot of people were genuinely shocked. Apparently, they thought the players' morph into pure muscle heads was the result of regular exercise and the daily consumption of Wheaties.Perhaps some had their suspicions, but when an actual Senator says it i...

If mud wrestling pretend lesbians are your thing, Digg is the place to find them. That would be such things as Cute Lesbians Having Fun and Two Hot and Horny Lesbians.

Larry Craig Foot Taps Through Bali
2007-12-19 05:33:00
Last week a conference on global warming was held in Bali . Al Gore, the Patron Saint of Polar Bears, was predictably present, but I was surprised to learn that Larry Craig hauled his ass over there—by means of a military jet, at taxpayer expense.I wondered why this was, since Senator Craig has always taken a narrow stance when it comes to global warming.Is it possible he is a closet environmentalist?After all, we know how the Senator obsessively picks up litter in public rest rooms.Or did he just go there to take in Bali culture?Some of those sights must have been tough on that god-fearing man. According to Asia For Visitors, “Bali has a rich gay scene. There's lots of 'eye candy' around for those that just like to look at the male form. Whether it's surfer dudes at Legian or locals performing the Kecak Dance, Bali has plenty to see!”So what did Larry tell his wife?“Yes, yes, dear-- I know there is a rich gay scene in Bali, but its not like I am going over there t...

Second Amendment Teachers
2007-10-10 02:01:00
I am pretty sure the civics lessons, which Mary Catherine Roes taught did not include anything about the Second Amen dment —except maybe mentioning in passing it as the National Guard Enabling Clause. So I think we can assume when Lacey, Washington Police arrested her at the Middle School she taught at for carrying a .38 Special in her purse, it was not her intent to make any kind of constitutional point. And the facts bear this out. Last year Miss Roes was assaulted by her husband—during which a gun was pointed at her head. Since only foolish women think restraining orders are the end all and be all, she purchased a gun and obtained a license to carry. Although prior to becoming a teacher she had worked as an MP she spent some time brushing up on her firearms skills. Ms. Roes tearfully told police officers she was aware there was a state law prohibiting anyone but law enforcement officers to be armed on Washington State school properties. She said she thought if caught she wou...

Republicans and Medical Marijuana
2007-10-09 18:01:00
I know medical marijuana is not, nor should it be, the defining issue of the 2008 presidential election. But, it seems the stubborn refusal of the current administration and all the Republic an candidates, Dr. Ron Paul excepted, tells the country much about these folks.Last Saturday Mitt Romney bravely confronted marijuana and the disabled in Dover, New Hampshire:The other day, at another town meeting in New Hampshire, a sickly Linda Macia mentioned from her wheelchair that she used medical marijuana. Miss Macia politely asked John McCain his position on permitting it. Barely were the words out of her mouth before the senator spun on his heels and stalked away.This is another one of those things I find puzzling.There is certainly evidence marijuana has medicinal value. And why wouldn't the old party of states' rights want the federal government to let each state decide for itself whether it wishes to permit disabled and terminally ill patients to use cannabis under a doc...

Right now I'm wearing a pair of real short gym shorts and rugby socks—just got through taking a hike through the desert. And so I sat down to a Coke and watched the short film from yesterday wherein Natalie Portman, finally dropped her drawers for us.And all of this got me to thinking how the current state of the Internet is ideal for a resurgence of the short short film.And I must admit that walking in the desert, can put me in a certain frame of mind. This is only compounded when I view the derrière of an adorable and talented young actress.And so I went off on a quest. But be forewarned, the shorts may profoundly disturb some of you. If you think this is you please be on your way and don''t yell at me.But be sure and let Google know what I am up to so the Adsense spots can be pulled again.

Natalie Portman Gets Naked at Hotel Chevalier

There has been some minor stirring about the appearance of the adorable Natalie Portman 's naked adorable butt in Wes Anderson's short film The Hotel Chevalier .It is a promotional thing for The Darjeeling Limited and I suppose is somehow tied into the plot as a prologue .You can view it for free at itunes or take a look at the YouTube upload here (the audio is better on itunes).

My great grandma tells how as a kid she would chase the ice man down the street to gather ice chips on warm summer days. The ice man no longer makes deliveries because we have these things called refrigerators.When digital watches came out, the legendary Swiss watchmakers shut their doors in panic, as they struggled to develop a new business model.Nowadays, except for Rolex users, few young people even wear watches. We grew up with cell phones and computer screens that are never far away.And it is time the RIAA stop their savage attack on the sharing of music. The only thing they are doing is ruining lives, terrifying people, making more money for worthless predatory lawyers and not doing a thing to stop the downloading.Technology has advanced, and the antiquated tools of the courts of law are not going to be able to stop the tide. The industry is going to have to readjust and reinvent itself. And there will be people that lose their jobs.That is too badBut I guess there is a...
