John Kerry's hair has split from the party and is to run as an independent ... So I'm not the only one who thinks there is soemthing odd about that man's hair!http://www.witchfondler.com/kerry-hair.html Operation Fruit Salad- March 13, 2004 President George W. Bush is said to be 'troubled' by the rash of gay marriages currently taking place in San Francisco, California. As a result he made a declaration today that the 'City of Love', as it came to be known in the sixties, is now a part of his 'Axis of Evil'. ... Vice President Dick Cheney also stated "I firmly believe that the streets of San Francisco are paved with many natural resources and we will be able to arrange mutually beneficial trade agreements with them. I also look...http://www.witchfondler.com/sanfranevil.html Computerized Voting- March 13, 2004 "The core of our American democracy, members, is the right to vote. And implicit in that right is the notion that that vote be private, that vote be secure, and that vote be counted as it was intended when it was cast by the voter. I think what we're encountering is a pivotal moment in our democracy where all that is being called into question—the privacy of the vote, the security of the vote, and the accuracy of the vote. It troubles me, and it should trouble you." —Kevin Shelley,..http://www.verifiedvoting.org/kevinshelley2003dec16.asp Gus and Elmer Are My Heros- March 12, 2004 My heartfelt congratulations, gentlemen! Perhaps you'd like an adopted granddaughter :o) Thank the Goddess for Canada. Canadians rock. I spent almost two weeks in Canada last summer, so I'm not just saying this based on their politics: they are truly great folks. (And their politics rock!!)http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/16/nyregion/16GAY.html?ex=1079240400&en=d7f1327df6cdc34... Conservative vs. Liberal Patriotism- March 12, 2004 "You see, they conservatives love America the way a four-year-old loves her mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a four-year-old, everything mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes mommy is bad. Grown-up love means understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad, and helping your loved one grow." —Al Frankenhttp://radio.weblogs.com/0131587/2004/03/12.html#a169 "Age is not a factor in determining detention"- March 12, 2004 How can age not be a factor! We are violating international law! You can't hold a 12 or 13-year-old boy at a military prison facility—it's barbaric! It's mind-boggling! Thank the Goddess that we did not mistreat them (although apparently the one boy was abused at least early on in his ordeal), but that hardly makes it all OK! Is it not absusive to kidnap these children from their country, steal them away from their families and friends, and imprision them in a foreign country half way..http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/12/international/asia/12KABU.html Tears of Sadness at SF City Hall (and here) :'(- March 12, 2004 SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) — Tears of sorrow flowed at San Francisco City Hall Thursday as word spread that the state's top court had ended, at least for now, the city's month-old policy of allowing same-sex couples to marry. Ross Ladouceur, left, weeps after learning he and his partner, Stuart Sanders, arrived too late to be wed Thursday. It just breaks my heart. Fucking conservatives. It makes me want to hate the world. I probably just need sleep. I just want to give this man..http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/03/11/gays.cityhall.reut/index.html On Marriage, Culture Wars, and the Human Race- March 12, 2004 As human beings, we are more than the means to reproduce our species: both basic common sense and deeper philosophical inquiry affirm that marriage is, has been, can be, and should be about so very much more than procreation! The traditional Christian God (the one worshipped by the RR) is a violent, chauvinistic, moralistic, vengeful, selfish, angry lout, and the ideas of marriage they promote are patriarchal, narrow-minded, anti-feminist, uncreative, and ultimately STUPID and BORING! Instead...http://radio.weblogs.com/0131587/2004/03/11.html#a166 George Carlin on American the Less-than-Beautiful- March 11, 2004 ...I'm just about (being) anti-United States. I don't like the way this country operates. I think we've ruined this place. And I think it's largely because of businessmen... I go out there to show the rest of the Americans how badly they're doing. This country has been, for about 180 years now, badly mishandled. And it's been in the wrong hands. It's been in the hands of the business interests. And a lot of the beauty of this country has been shattered by them. The physical beauty and the kind..http://www.azcentral.com/php-bin/clicktrack/print.php?referer=http://www.azcentral.com/ent... What's worse, screwing an intern or screwing the country!- March 11, 2004 A letter to Salon.com in response to this article (to which I was alerted by True Majority): What I want to know is when the Democrats are going to start taking some of this information seriously and going after Bush in a big way. Information comes to light every day about how Bush has lied, about sinister neo-con plans to build a military empire and squash all dissent, about the myriad ways in which in three short years the Bush administration has made us less secure, less free, less healthy,..http://radio.weblogs.com/0131587/2004/03/11.html#a164 |
