THE MUSLIM WEDDING "BLESSING"

GETTING A WEDDING BLESSING IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE? MAKE SURE YOU SPEAK IT OR YOU MIGHT BE GETTING BLESSED OUT!

AN EXCERPT FROM A MUSLIM MALDIVES HOTEL EMPLOYEE'S SCANDALOUS PRE-WEDDING REMARKS:

"You are swine. The children that you bear from this marriage will all be
bastard swine. Your marriage is not a valid one," he intoned as the
... couple held up their hands in prayer, blissfully unaware of what was being
said.

"You fornicate and make a lot of children. You drink and you eat pork.
Most of the children that you have are marked with spots and blemishes."

REMEMBER THE SHEEP IN GEORGE ORWELL'S ANIMAL FARM WHO BLEATED OUT THE PROPAGANDA SO LOUDLY THAT NO DISSENT COULD BE HEARD?

FROM THINKPROGRESS.COM:

Kathy Tate-Bradish was a volunteer moderator at the October 21 debate
in the state’s 8th District and sparked conservative outrage when she
expressed what was perceived as “lukewarm” support for rec...iting the
Pledge of Allegiance.

Just as the debate was about to begin, an audience member asked
Tate-Bradish whether the pledge would be recited. When she “explained
the pledge was not scheduled to begin the event, almost all in the crowd of more than 300 stood and enthusiastically recited it anyway.”

SOMETHING MUCH SCARIER THAN HALLOWE'EN IS AROUND THE CORNER: A MESSAGE TO DISILLUSIONED GAY VOTERS

MY MESSAGE TO DISILLUSIONED GAY VOTERS

Alan Cumming recently wrote that he was so fed up with democrats inaction on gay issues that he was tempted to note vote in the mid-term elections. This comes after two years of hearing gays whine “I voted for Hillary” whenever someone gripes about Obama. Well, Hillary isn’t running in the approaching mid-terms. So stop being such babies and deal with the choices in front of you. Or prepare to lose…BIG.


A low turn-out is predicted but there’s so much at stake. If we stay home because we’re dissatisfied with Obama, the Democrats, the economy (which Bush, not Obama left in tatters), the fact that DADT hasn’t been repealed or that we can’t get married, we could allow the tea party to elect candidates to represent their districts. But once in office, they won’t just be making laws for their districts. They’ll be voting on issues that affect the whole country.

I’m disenchanted with the Obama administration and the current Congress, too. But I’ll take disenchanted over petrified any day—and that’s what I am of tea party candidates. If your primary agenda is repealing DADT and allowing same-sex marriage, you can kiss both of these goodbye if they triumph. No, Obama hasn’t repealed DADT but he has promised it’s repeal on his watch. And he’s kept most of his promises so far. How many republicans lawyers support it’s repeal or even pay lip service to it?

And Christine O’Donnell, the tea party candidate from Delaware, considers masturbation to be adultery. How do you think this nut views gays’ right to marry? Or hell, to even exist? Many tea party candidates, like Christine, are so viciously anti-abortion that they’d force a rape victim, even ones who is impregnated by a relative, to give birth to that child. Forget about your baby daddy and imagine the shame of your daddy’s baby. Most on both sides of the aisle would agree that zero tolerance for abortion is an incredibly extreme and heartless position.

But the tea party’s lunacy doesn’t stop there. Bloomberg magazine’s new cover article asks “Why Business Doesn’t Trust The Tea Party”. Usually, Republicans are tireless supporters of big business. Yet the tea party has it’s nose buried so deep in a misreading of the Bible that they can’t even create policies appealing to the corporate world! After pocketing a boatload of corporate campaign contributions!

Nor are they pulling for the average joe. Common tea party demands are to end the not perfect but better-than-nothing ObamaCare, along with social security and minimum wage. WHO THE HELL WOULDN’T WANT A MINIMUM WAGE? Hmmm, I can’t think of anyone, except possible a disgruntled mob of gun-toting, racist evangelicals who want to take back their country from a president who they still believe is a muslim not born in the US.

Even the garden-variety Republicans dismissed these turds as too far out--until they started winning primaries. Now the GOP is funneling a fortune into backing their campaigns. Remember Sue Lowdon, the republican candidate who became a national laughing stock after suggesting that we fix health care by returning to the days when we traded chickens with our doctors? After that ridiculous claim, she lost the nomination to Sharron Angle, who actually wants to outlaw booze—and she’s representing Nevada, home of Las Vegas? This freak looks likely to unseat current House leader Harry Reid and she’s so deranged that many top Nevada republicans have endorsed her democratic opponent. HELP!

We can’t permit the most extreme brand of Republican to arise in decades to gain ground in Congress. For better or for worse, Democrats are the party which leans more toward supporting gay rights in general. They’re in deep trouble because everyone’s broke and people tend to blame the party in power. Even in a robust economy, mid-term elections tend to unseat incumbents. But just look at the freak show which is waiting in the wings if you don’t exercise your vote. Staying home is simply not an option. Pressing the democrats who remain in office on gay issues after the mid-terms is a wonderful idea—but you can’t do that if there are too few left in Congress to enact the changes you want.

If we don't band together to prevent a massive tea party victory, then as Keith Olbermann said in his Special Comment last night, we'll come to think of Obama's frustrating first two years as the good ol' days.

A LIST OF PRESIDENT OBAMA'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM DAILYKOS.COM:

Special Thanks to Robert P. Watson, Ph. D., Professor of American Studies, Lynn University who compiled this list and writes " Like all presidents, Barack Obama has made mistakes. But, as a presidential historian, I have been struck by claims being put forward by Obama’s many critics and the news media that he has accomplished little when, in fact, his presidency is easily one of the most active in history."

You really need to check out the whole list but these are just from the Ethics category--the full list is very impressive.

• Companies and individuals who are delinquent on their taxes or owe back taxes are no longer allowed to bid for federal contracts (2009)

• Initiated the “e-Rulemaking Initiative” (in cooperation with Cornell University) to allow for online public “notice and comment” of federal laws and initiatives (2010)

THIS WAS ON THE CHARTS IN 1964!

HERE WE GO AGAIN!

As with the Rand Paul event recently where a woman was stomped in the head, here's another example of republicans using force to subdue any voice of opposition. Like the guy in Alaska who was detained at tea party candidate Joe Miller a couple of weeks ago. EXCEPT AT THIS CANTOR EVENT, POLICE WERE USED TO SILENCE THE MAN. Tax dollars paying to end freedom of speech.

The republicans are very good at staying on message. They must have gotten a boost from their base after Lauren Valles' head was stomped and wanted to create something similar in Ohio. Or maybe Cantor, who will not consent to a debate, knows that his platform of making Obama (and therefore the US fail) will not hold water if questioned. Also note: I don't believe that Cantor is considered a tea party candidate--just republican.

All I can say is that if watching the video of 3 guys pounce on one makes you think "Yeah! Use force on those a$$hole democrats", be very careful when rooting for someone who uses force to squash anyone who says what they don't like. One day, it might be you.

And how unappealing must Cantor's message be if he refuses to even explain it?

NEW URSULA 1000 SONG WITH FRED SCHNEIDER

MARCH AT RUTGERS U

March and Rally, October 27: Justice Not Vengeance in Clementi Suicide – LGBTQ Community Response



WHAT

Under the banner of Justice Not Vengeance, Queering the Air will march and rally on Wednesday, October 27, 2010 in New Brunswick, NJ – where the Rutgers University campus is still reeling from the suicide of Tyler Clementi on September 22. This action will decry the rush to judgment of two other Rutgers students linked to the death, Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, the racist and xenophobic vitriol used against them, as well as homophobia, transphobia, and lack of safety on campus and beyond. Recognizing that homophobia is a concern that goes well beyond these two people and that our criminal justice system is historically biased against people of color, the group is using this occasion to draw attention to these larger issues.



· Existing laws cover the crimes Ravi and Wei are alleged to have committed

· Mainstream LGBT groups have called for a pile on of hate crimes, manslaughter, and new legislation

· Rutgers’ administration, while historically providing a safer space for LGBTQ youth than most other universities, can and must do more

· Our demands include taking the following steps towards combating intolerance and promoting a safer campus:

o Immediately create gender neutral and LGBTQ-friendly housing accommodations and change Residence Life screening practices to accommodate incoming students who want to live in rooms or dorm suites with people who share or are welcoming of their diversity.

o Establish a blue-ribbon panel, composed of LGBTQ and other historically-oppressed students, faculty, and staff to review policies and procedures regarding counseling and medical services, harassment complaints, outreach to vulnerable populations, and Residence Life policies.

o Commission this panel as a permanent committee and empower them to investigate the events leading up to the suicide of Tyler Clementi and to determine other steps that could be taken to provide a safer campus.

o Act promptly on the committee's findings, with sufficient, appropriate, and adequately funded services.

WHERE

The march will begin at the corner of Albany and George Streets in New Brunswick at 7:00 PM (ET). The rally, which will feature speakers from QTA and other organizations will follow at Brower Commons (directly across the street from the Rutgers Student Center) at 8:00 PM (ET).



Directions to march from New Brunswick train station:

-Follow George Street down one block (away from the Rutgers campus) and cross the street at the 4-way intersection.

-George and Albany Streets intersect at this point (look for a Wachovia Bank and a Starbucks nearby).



Directions to rally from New Brunswick train station:

-Cross Somerset Street (directly in front of the back side of the train station and intersecting George Street) and walk up one block (heading away from George Street).

-Turn right at College Avenue and follow it for about 10 minutes until you arrive at Brower Commons, which will be on the right side of the street -- 145 College Avenue.



WHO

Queering the Air, located in New Brunswick, NJ, is a queer-centric social justice organization. We believe that to confront heterosexism and transphobia, we must also fight racism, sexism, poverty, and ableism. We use lobbying, protest, and non-violent direct action to achieve our goals. We are consciously not Rutgers affiliated, but composed of students, faculty, staff, and community residents, working together to build a safer campus and a more inclusive community. Queering the Air was formed in Spring 2010.



WHEN

Wednesday, October 27th – March gathers will at from George and Albany Streets at 7pm, rally at Brower Commons at 8pm.

AMANDA LEAR INTROS GRACE JONES!

STOMP THE INSANI-TEA!

A Moveon.org member was stomped last night at a Rand Paul event in Kentucky. Several guys wrestled 23-year old Lauren Valle to the ground and then one crunches her neck/her back/her p#ssy and her crack with his foot.

The bizarre thing is that twice, the protesters try to put a blonde wig they'd yanked off her back on her head. (Kinda reminds me of one of my dates, except that I'd prefer to be bludgeoned with a foot-long than a foot.) Why would they try to put a wig back on a woman they had snatched it off of and were now stomping? The vctim had short and dare-I-say dyke-y hair so she must have seemed all the more subversive. And those glasses? She must be one of those elitists ready with one of her gotcha media questions for Rand Paul.

But before seeing any of this, I instantly sensed what her attackers were up to. They are old, white men desperately trying to restore what they know as order--sense doesn't enter into their equation. A real woman should have long, blonde hair and should stay in her place without too strong of an any kind of political opinion. Especially a gay-looking woman who is probably out to subvert traditional marriage and our military. And we're gonna get that black man out of the White House where he's been supporting mosques in NYC for his muslim brethren after rigging health care to foot the bill for his black brothers and sisters.

This is a frightening glimpse into the scary, lawless world of the tea party. We can't let them gain power. Women have been disengaged from this mid-term election and as a result democrats are suffering. LADIES: doesn't THIS video want to spur you into action and use your vote to keep these goons at bay? Please watch it. Please forward it.

A woman was punched in the face at another tea party candidates gathering recently. An Alaska tea party candidate used his private guards to imprison a reporter from a liberal blogger at his public event. You can't let reporters get at the candidates to ask any tough questions so that their moronic platforms unravel. Sharron Angle used a decoy to evade reporters once again. And Angle, Beck and Palin have continually used imagery of shooting and violence while tea partiers bring their guns to political rallies.

People. C'mon. You can't hand over the country to these freaks. This is the kind of trash they engage in during their campaign when most would be on their best behavior? Imagine what they'd do in power? Right now they're applying for the job of public office and this is how they act.

Sadly, while this video may horrify most of us, viewing it will cement the support for Rand Paul among tea party nuts seeking to restore order with violence if necessary. And the party that stomps women and punches them in the face DOES IT IN THE NAME OF CHRIST???? Lowlife animals! I thought it was traditional wisdom that a man never hits a woman? So maybe these goons aren't so traditional after all? Maybe they're out there extremists and this was a much-needed sneak peak at what they are really like?

RE-ELECT REP. ALAN GRAYSON!

I just contributed to the campaign to reelect Alan Grayson. I don't even live in Florida, but it's that important to keep a voice like a liberal voice like Alan's alive and kicking and in office. Where he can continue HAMMERING the republicans with issues like health care. He said on the floor of the House that the rep...ublicans' plan for health care is "Don't get sick. And if you do get sick...die quickly." His honesty electrified the liberal democratic base. He's in trouble. I know times are tough but the democratic candidate in my state doesn't really need my contribution to win. Alan does. Check out this link and see if you feel the same way.

Sometime in the next 48 hours, we are going to accomplish something that no one has ever done before, in any House race.

Sometime in the next 48 hours, someone is going to make the 100,000th online contribution to the 2010 Grayson for Congress Campaign.

There is no House Democrat who has raised more money for the 2010 campaign. And there is no House Democrat who has done it way that we have – not by pandering to lobbyists, favor-seekers and the idle rich, but appealing to people with a conscience. People like you.

You be the one. You make the 100,000th online contribution to our campaign.

MADONNA AS AN OLD ASIAN JUNKIE

CANDIDATE HORSLEY AND THE MULE!

FROM THE EXAMINER:

I first learned about Neal Horsley when he sent me an email telling me he had been following my articles on secession and wondered if I could help him get in contact with the head of the Georgia Militia. I told him, sadly, no, but was curious about a link to a website he gave me for his campaign for governor. And then, there was the mule thing, which I'll get to.



He is running on the "nullification platform", which is kind of secessionist lite. Though, looking over his platform, there doesn't appear to be anything lite about it. But we'll get to that later.

Now, about the mule. Here's a snippet of his confession on Alan Colmes:

NH: "Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule."

AC: "I'm not so sure that that is so."

NH: "You didn't grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?"

AC: "Are you suggesting that everybody who grows up on a farm in Georgia has a mule as a girlfriend?"

NH: It has historically been the case. You people are so far removed from the reality... Welcome to domestic life on the farm..."

Colmes said he thought there were a lot of people in the audience who grew up on farms, are living on farms now, raising kids on farms and "and I don't think they are dating Elsie right now. You know what I'm saying?"

Horsley said, "You experiment with anything that moves when you are growing up sexually. You're naive. You know better than that... If it's warm and it's damp and it vibrates you might in fact have sex with it."

Yep. There was no way we weren't going to ask about that one. It was just a matter of how. We worked in the question somewhat delicately this way: "So, as a candidate for Governor, are you worried about any skeletons in your closet that might get aired in the course of the campaign?"

"No, that's why I'm running for Governor because I don't have any skeletons in my closet," he says. " I’ve talked about things people would never have talked about. Any skeletons I have, I take them out and rattle them around."

"What kinds of things?" I ask.

Without missing a beat, he says, "You know what you’re thinking about has been out there..."

"We're talking about the mule now?"

Yes, he says. The mule.

"A small mule?" I ask.

"No, a full grown mule," he says. "She loved me, though."

We both laugh, but I'm still trying to figure out the logistics. How big is this thing? The size of a horse, he says.

"All I had to do was give her an ear of corn." He laughs again. "She was a [prostitute] mule."

10. You get winded from knocking on the door.

9. You have to have another kid chew the candy for you.

8. You ask for high fiber candy only.

7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your balance and fall over.

6. People say: "Great Boris Karloff Mask," And you're not wearing a mask.

5. When the door opens you yell, "Trick or..." And can't remember the rest.

4. By the end of the night, you have a bag full of restraining orders.

3. You have to carefully choose a costume that won't dislodge your hairpiece.

THE ASSASSINATION OF DR. TILLER

ATTENTION LADIES! Sorry gays, I meant the real ones. Tomorrow night, Rachel Maddow narrates a documentary on the "religious" nuts who assassinated a doctor who dared to provide late term abortions. It's on MSNBC Monday night. I've seen from several sources that women are a real issue in the upcoming elections because e...ven though women tend to vote democrat, women's buttons haven't been pushed in the right way to engage them in the approaching mid-terms. And you know that it's all about the right way to push our "buttons", isn't it gals?



Perhaps a lot of women don't watch news outlets which have shown tea party candidates like Sharron Angle PROUDLY claiming that they are against ANY abortion--even in cases of rape and incest. This is a really extreme position which I can't imagine would resonate well with most women. So please help me spread the word about this documentary tomorrow night on MSNBC at 9PM EST. While I don't think that Sharron Angle would advocate killing doctors who perform abortions, the crazy bitch wants to bring back prohibition and is running in Nevada, home of Las Vegas. So who knows? And partly because of massive corporate donations, it's looks quite possible that she'll win. Do you want a voice that crazy making laws for the entire country?

BUN-BUN I'VIEWED BY THE EXAMINER

AN EXCERPT FROM THE INTERVIEW BY BRODY BROWN:



It’s a bit odd how we lack a term to differentiate the masters –err, mistresses – of drag from the masses. While there’s a clear difference in success and level of recognition between an actor and a movie star, any male with a wig, a bit of dramatic make-up and non-sensible heel gets clumped under the rather distinguished classification of “drag queen.” Perhaps because “drag princess” just doesn’t sound as catchy?

But if we were to point fingers – sometimes one just has to point after all – and call out the legends from this cross-dressing lot, we’d finger the legendary Lady Bunny (metaphorically of course); a wickedly talented, bewigged sextuple threat: actress, DJ, singer, songwriter, comedienne, and well…according to her…ho.

Bunny is arguably one of the most sought after talents in the world of drag, as her Facebook and MySpace pages and blog read like a schizophrenic travel agent’s to-do lists. She is whisked all over the States and around the globe to perform and DJ – this year at parties for Pride celebrations in places like Dallas, Toronto and Warsaw—yes, Poland.

We snagged a bit of this New York-based queen’s time to get a look at the Bunny brain beneath the giant wig. We covered everything from her start in drag to her passion for politics, learned who makes her laugh, and ended with a prediction of who would win in the ultimate West Coast vs. East Coast drag knife fight.

BRODY BROWN: You recently served as headmistress on Logo's "Drag U," a show where female contestants were put through a drag makeover. What famous woman would you have wanted to put through the school system?

BUNNY: Justin Bieber.

STONEWALL VET RAYMOND CASTRO DIES



FROM HIS OBIT IN THE ST. PETERSBURG TIMES:

While he celebrated gains made by gay and lesbian activists, Mr. Castro sometimes wondered if people who were born after Stonewall could appreciate what happened there.

"A lot of people, especially the young ones, have no inkling of what Stonewall is," he told a newspaper in June. "They think Gay Pride is just a big party.

His death comes as several gay rights issues are in the national spotlight. While legal arguments over gay marriage and gays in the military are winding through the courts, the recent suicides of four teen boys have made those issues chillingly personal.

Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh, Billy Lucas and Asher Brown all had identified themselves as gay or bisexual. All died by suicide after allegations of bullying or cyberbullying by peers.

Forty-one years after Stonewall, their deaths remind gay rights supporters not to declare victory just yet.

"Since Stonewall, we've made amazing progress in establishing that homosexuals are human beings and as citizens they deserve rights," said Katz. "But it's clear that we still have very far to go and that there are still some elements in this society that don't think of homosexuals as human beings. Therefore they can harass them to death, literally."

The republican think tank known as The Family helped Uganda craft the "Kill The Gays" bill in their country. Kinda like how you try out try out a Broadway show in another city to see how it plays out before you bring it home. Think how delighted republicans must be about these gay teen suicides--we're killing ourselves so that they don't have to even bother legislating us to death! Hmmm..... I wonder how many republican politicians spoke out against the suicides or made It Gets Better videos?

BIG GOV'T BAD OR GOOD?

So the tea party is against big government and has used this as their rallying cry. Health care reform was what really got them riled up in the first place. And it is intrusive--that when the mandate kicks in and we will be forced to buy some kind of insurance or we will be fined. Gun rights are another of the tea partiers concerns which like health care, at least I can understand even if I don't agree with.



But here's what doesn't make sense to me. The main issue in this election is jobs, right? Unemployment doesn't discriminate between democrats or republicans. So which party has the better solution for it? I will freely admit that I don't have a firm grasp of economic policy. But I know this: republicans represent big business and the wealthiest. They want to keep tax breaks for the richest 2% of us and for corporations who ship our jobs overseas. How will this create jobs? It does the opposite--it exports them!

On the other hand, the democrats' BIG GOVERNMENT stimulus has definitely created jobs and kept others which might have been lost in place. In fact, many republican politicians who railed against the stimulus and voted against it were quick to point out, eventually, how it created jobs in their states--even several senators and governors who claimed that they were so opposed to the stimulus that they'd refuse the stimulus money offered. Refusing $ which creates jobs? So that jobs are NOT created? How could this possibly help? So I guess BIG BAD GOVERNMENT can be good?

I know the economy is a mess and we're all scared and broke. But it's a really simple-minded approach to just think "Times are bad. So vote out whoever is in office. Me no like. Grunt." George Bush and a republican-controlled congress gave us this mess. How will voting a party back in who created this mess, represents the wealthy AND corporations which outsource and thereby destroy our jobs going to improve the situation of the hard-up people who make up the bulk of this nation?

SAME SCRIPT WRITER, MAYBE?

ARNIE AND CALIFORNIA CANDIDATE MEG WHITMAN:

TO ALL PRESIDENT OBAMA HATERS

AUTHOR UNKNOWN. AND TRUTH BE TOLD, WHILE MOST OF THIS HOLDS TRUE, THERE ARE NOW REASONS TO BE DISSATISFIED WITH THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION/DEMOCRATS. STILL....


You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.

You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.

You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn’t get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.

You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden.

You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city drown.

You didn’t get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.

You didn’t get mad when, using reconciliation; a trillion dollars of our tax dollars were redirected to insurance companies for Medicare Advantage which cost over 20 percent more for basically the same services that Medicare provides.

You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark, and our debt hit the thirteen trillion dollar mark.

(The above is a copy/paste of a nice rant about some of the many errors of the Bush admin. This rant has been making the rounds for awhile now and I don’t know where it originated. What follows is my addition.)

Yet you get mad at President Obama for what exactly?

Expanding health care coverage to over 30 million more Americans while making the worst health insurance industry abuses illegal and reducing the deficit? (source)

Credit card reform which protects consumers from credit card company abuses? (source)

Lowering taxes for 95% of working families? (source)

Being on target to cut Bush’s huge deficit in half within four years? (source)

The DOW going from 6500 to over 11000 during his Presidency? (source)

Is it because he signed expanded gun rights into law while not making any moves towards gun control? (source)

The recession reversing with job losses turning into job gains? (source)

Working to reform Wall Street Reform so we don’t experience another economic meltdown like what happened under Bush’s “leadership” in September 2008? (source)

Working to reduce loose nukes in order to decrease the chances of a nuclear attack on the US by terrorists? ( source )



Notice those last two are “works in progress.” These are things Obama is trying to do but the Republicans are doing everything they can stop him from being successful on these fronts (similar to how they pulled out every trick in the book to try to stop health care reform.) They don’t seem to care that stopping Obama from getting “political victories” (their biggest concern it seems) may lead to a terrorist nuking a major US city or another economic meltdown.

Think about that. “Country First”? Hardly. The Republican Party of today seems to exist only to further it’s own existence. They will stop at nothing to defeat Obama politically. They don’t care how many lies they have to tell or what the long term consequences are for average Americans.

It’s because of this that I think it’s of very much importance for the future of the United States that the “Republican Tea Party” be defeated this November. Do your part. Make sure you are registered to vote and get to the polls to vote against all Republican Tea Party candidates.

START WEARING PURPLE!

WANT SOCIAL SECURITY TO END?



SEVERAL TEA PARTY CANDIDATES ARE CALLING FOR AN END TO SOCIAL SECURITY. OR "PRIVATIZING" IT, AS NEVADA'S SHARRON ANGLE CALLS IT. I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT SO I SIGNED THE PETITION ON THIS SITE, WHERE YOU CAN ALSO CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE IS ONE OF THE 200 DEMS WHO ARE AGRESSIVELY OPPOSING IT'S ABOLITION.

Over 200 bold Democratic candidates and members of Congress are going on offense and promising to protect Social Security from proposed Republican cuts.

See who below -- and sign on the right to show your support for these bold candidates.

SIGN: SOCIALSECURITYPROTECTORS

THIS IS KIND OF A NEW IDEA FOR DEMOCRATS--TAKING THE OFFENSE AND A FIRM STAND AGAINST WACKY AND UNPOPULAR TEA PARTY POLICIES. I don't know what took them so long to arrive at this strategy so late, but it is brilliantly explained on The Rachel Maddow Show last night.Melissa Harris-Perry really throws down on this one--particularly towards the end of the clip. Highly illuminating and hopefully not coming too late.

MUST SEE TV: MSNBC


I'm not even going to suggest that all republican candidates are on Christine's low level because they aren't. (Except a few like Sharron Angle.) But here the bitch gets laughed at for her ignorance and thinks that the audience of the debate is laughing WITH HER INSTEAD OF AT HER. Just like she mocked her opponent wit...h a cruel laugh in another debate about being jealous that they didn't spoof him on SNL. Honey, they portrayed you as a witch!

I am so sick of gays saying "I voted for Hillary" whenever Obama/the dems are criticized. They deserve criticism. But what're ya going to do--hold such a grudge against O because Hillary didn't win that you don't vote and allow others to vote in freaks like Angle and O'Donnell to make national laws? You're whiners! Hillary ain't running. And you can kiss gay rights goodbye if you sit this one out like whiny babies.

BREAKING: Univision Will Not Air GOP Group’s Ad Telling Latinos Not To Vote

Earlier today, ThinkProgress reported that Latinos for Reform — a Republican 527 group — purchased an $80,000 buy on Univision to air ads urging Nevada Latino voters not to vote. We urged Univision not to air the ads. The network, which heads the non-partisan Latino civic participation campaign, Ya Es Hora, has decided to do the right thing and not broadcast the ads. A Univision spokesperson told ThinkProgress:

ANGLE VS REID




We are doomed. I'm watching the news blame Harry Reid for being boring in last night's debate against tea party candidate Sharron Angle. He was dithering and he is always soft-spoken. He also cluelessly failed to point out that Angle wants to bring back prohibition (yes, of alcohol) and is running in the state of Nevad...a, home of Las Vegas. According to the pundits on MSNBC, all Sharron had to do was hold her own and appear to be Harry's equal. No knock-out punches were thrown, so apparently Angle achieved that.

But everyone's talking about Sharron's call to Harry to "Man up" and face the fact that social security is broken. Female republican candidates like Palin and O'Donnell have frequently used negative sissy imagery to refer to their opponents in this race--possibly to appeal to voters who want things to be restored to old stereotypes of when men were men, women were women and black men weren't in the White House.

And "man up", which she actually flinched while saying so you know it was scripted, snatches all the headlines. Not the fact that social security actually IS solvent and there's only a problem with it if you want to abolish it, as Angle does--though she now has softened her language to "personalizing" it. So she tells one of several blatant falsehoods, but the overall outcome is to focus on Reid's lack of manhood.

He's certainly no macho man and he missed opportunities galore to ridicule Sharron's crazy positions on issues like abortion--she feels abortion is so wrong that you must bear the child of your rapist even if related to them. (I'm guessing this is a tradition in her family?) But what's SO insane here is that Reid is being faulted for not being entertaining. People, he's not on American Idol or Dancing With The Stars. He backed up his points with facts, but we're too dumb to dissect the issues. We tune out when we hear facts, especially if the explanation is lengthy. We want soundbites. That's all we can handle. Insults are entertainment. Don't you dare bore us us with facts addressing policies which will shape our lives for years if you're elected. Doomed, I say.

Harry is dithering. If he "manned up", he might be more popular. If he were faster on his feet and had some snappy zingers and insults for Angle would he have "won" the debate? I would have loved to see him question her femininity and looks in retaliation. Unlike her tea party sisters Palin, O'Donnell and Bachmann, she's no hottie. If she had an agent, she'd be sent on casting calls for parts like Aunt Esmerelda on Bewitched, the muddled, frumpy witch played so brilliantly by Alice Ghostley. Or as a nervous villager extra in a Hobbit film. Don't let the daffy exterior fool you, though. With her personal insults, wrongful accusations about Reid's income and flat-out lies, she proved that she can also play the psycho bitch. Now isn't that a button-pushing negative female stereotype to throw at her? And she earned it!

Look Harry, you blew it last night. But I don't wish this nut job on even the most republican state so I'm gonna give you a comeback line to use that's just as sexist and would go perfectly with most of Sharron's policy descriptions or complaints: "Crazy bitch, are you on your period? Forgive me, I almost forgot that you're waaaaay past the age to get periods anymore. Must've been that bad die job."

(I don't mean to offend any ladies besides Ms. Angle, but Reid does need some help in this department. You don't fight fire with a wet noodle and win.)

We're brainless if we require our candidates to be entertaining because we don't possess the focus to break down issues. That's why Bush would go and chop wood on his ranch on vacation to trick us into thinking he was just ordinary folks like us. And it worked! I wonder how many times he's been at that old chopping block since he left the White House? And Sarah Palin's reality show is preparing to debut on the Learning Channel. An "entertainer" who quit her first term as governor to be on Fox is the lead pick for the next republican presidential candidate. Well, I hope you're all thoroughly entertained when that Palin mess gets elected and our foreign policy is based on some evangelical End Of Days road map. Doomed, I tell you.

BUNNY PERFORMS AT HERE IN LA TONIGHT!

THIS IS BIZARRE!

BUT I'D SUCK HIM!

LET ME OUT!--A REVIEW OF LET ME IN

Do not waste a dime on the “thriller,” Let Me In. Hey, I’m as big a fan of a vampire suckfest as the next queen—in fact I’m partial to any kinda suck-fest, except for Hedda Lettuce poorformances. But this turkey bites the big one—there’s not enough scary action to sink your fangs into.

There’s certainly no lack of homosexual eroticism. A lovely and very ethereal/effeminate kid with a nerdy-yet–kinda trendy haircut is picked on by the school bullies.(Because we couldn’t sympathize with a bullied nerd unless his hair just happened to be stylish? That’s our Hollywood, for ya!) Plenty of half-dressed skirmishes and scenes of submission. And face it, gays: we see that every day in the steam room at the gym. As if my fat ass knows what goes on in a gymnasium!



After loads of completely depressing close-up huge,,luminous eyes, exquisite upturned noses and of young, unlined skin with nary a whisker sprouted upon it, you start to feel really guilty because all of these beauties are 12. And I don’t know about you, but 12 is waaaaaaay too old for me. The kid has some sort of Carrie-esque mental powers but this usually fails to save him from the brat pack at school. Because his powers conveniently and inexplicably vanish for the rest of the film! No screenplay Oscar for this crap!

And then he meets an attractive blonde girl with big feet who announces that she’s not really a girl. Kinda like how all of my dates feel! So we have a 12-year old sissy with super-powers linking up with a 12 year old tranny vampire. I caught this flick in San Francisco after meeting a guy who sold mango sorbet laced with hashish, so I’m not 1000% clear on what was happening after I came--those blasted brown bottle poppers are a kiki! But I think the plot involves the tranny’s daddy/mentor vampire becoming too old to fetch his own blood. He doesn’t even bite his victims, but strings them upside down, stabs them in the neck and catches the drippings in a funnel? Puh-lease! He lets on that he’s gotten so sloppy that maybe he wants to get caught. Aww. Da poor widdle vampire is tired of dwinking bwood.

He up and dies--which I didn’t think vampires could do—and Miss Tranny-wannabe takes over as head blood-sucker. If I were you, I’d exit the theater at this point.. Unless you wanna stick around for a surprise ending which tops everything. Sadly, it only tops everything in the boredom factor so you walk out feeling totally cheated. My cinema companion, San Francisco drag legend Heklina, left within the first 10 minutes. I don’t suggest you give it that long. Save your coins for that Hallowe’en costume!
