Hip Hop Crowd Say Yo to Kerry
Yesterday, after I left the voting booth I approached two African American youth in the mall parking lot.
They looked like typical BET/MTV types, wearing baggy sports gear, with cell phones and bling bling and $200 sneakers.
I said, "Hey, you guys are gonna vote, right?"
They said, "Oh, hell yeah."
I said, "You're voting for Kerry, right?"
They said, "Absolutely, we aren't going to Iraq."
All these bullshit polls paid for by rich, white people haven't been polling the cell phone carrying youth of draft age.
And even then, the polls are still looking good for Kerry.

An Abundance of Reasons
I have been meaning to write the ultimate list of why Bush should be thrown out of office in disgrace, but it's gotten like trying to count the strands of pasta in a giant bowl of cappelini.
This latest scandal, where 380 tons of explosives under U.S. military control have gone missing in Iraq is horrible, to be sure, but when the Bush crowd tried to gloss it over by saying, "See? Saddam DID have weapons of mass destruction," that was a blatant, disgraceful lie.
The UN had been monitoring the cache of explosives until Bush's war. Once the undermanned Bush-led military took over, the ammo dump went unguarded and the shit went missing.
By invading Iraq, Bush lit the fuse on a powder keg in the Middle East.
By invading Iraq on the cheap, with too few soldiers and inadequate armor and equipment to properly wage war, Bush lit another fuse that needlessly put our troops in danger.
While it's been fun writing about Bush's limited intellect and frequent gaffes, this man is dangerous and has done immeasurable harm to our nation. He doesn't need four more years in the Oval Office, he needs 40 years in a square cell.

Mafia Soldiers Support Bush-Cheney
Two felonious New York wiseguys among GOP ticket's donors
OCTOBER 25--While the Mafia is not in the habit of endorsing presidential candidates, two Colombo family soldiers have spoken with their bulging wallets--and they want four more years for the Bush/Cheney ticket. The below Federal Election Commission records show that convicted felons John Staluppi and John Rosatti last year each gave the GOP candidates $2000 (the maximum individual donation). The FBI has identified Staluppi and Rosatti--multimillionaires who own auto dealerships in New York and Florida--as members of the Colombo gang...

The First and Last Baseball Post I Will Ever Make
You all know, of course, if Boston wins it's an omen that John Kerry will win, too.
Yes, he will win, despite the voting irregularities that are already apparent in Texas for early voters (if you vote the straight Democratic ticket, the machines are said to "accidentally" switch to Bush/Cheney).
I plan to vote on Monday and I HOPE something fucks up so I can raise holy hell about it.
Watch your ballots, folks- those GOP crooks are trying to steal another election.

Bush Receives Endorsement From Iran
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer
TEHRAN, Iran - The head of Iran's security council said Tuesday that the re-election of President Bush was in Tehran's best interests, despite the administration's axis of evil label, accusations that Iran harbors al-Qaida terrorists and threats of sanctions over the country's nuclear ambitions..."
Well, if IRAN says he's good, then...

Lynn Cheney, Just Shut the Fuck up.
Oh, brother.
Lynn Cheney got up in arms because John Kerry used their lesbian daughter Mary in his debate reply to a specific question the moderator asked about homosexuality.
As an example of gayness not being a choice people make, Kerry said, "We're all God's children, and I think if you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she's being who she was. She's being who she was born as. I think if you talk to anybody, it's not a choice."
Dick Cheney ignored the context and said Kerry's remark proves, "he'll do and say anything it takes to get elected."
Lynn said of Kerry, "This is not a good man. What a cheap and tawdry political trick."
No, Lynne.
If it was Kerry who had the dyke daughter instead of Cheney, the GOP would be exploiting it as an example of "the rampant, immoral perversion" running in Kerry's immediate family.
I can just hear it: "Elect John Kerry and his lesbian daughter will be spending weekends in the White House, using a dildo to simulate heterosexual intercourse with her lesbian lover in the Lincoln bedroom."
The Bush crowd started the gay hate debate with that ridiculous plan to amend the constitution to specifically ban gay marriage.
They brought it up knowing Cheney's kid was gay, so they should have expected her orientation to become part of the topic, especially since she works for the damn Bush Cheney reelection campaign.
Even if Kerry did specifically mention Mary Cheney just to remind Bush's Bible thumping fans what hypocrites their candidates are, so what? If the truth hurts, just do what the Bush GOP's always do: deny, blame, name-call and smear.
Lynn Cheney is as phony as the rest of those bastards.
It was okay for her to pander to voyeuristic readers by titillating them with soft core lesbian porn in the novelette she published years ago.
It was okay for the White House to ban a second edition being published to spare the truth from the fundamentalists lemmings who think their candidates are Such Model Christians.
It is okay for the Bush Cheney campaign to pay Mary Cheney more than $100,000 a year, even though at least some the funds for her salary came from the Bible thumpers' contributions.
But it was not okay for Kerry to mention her name in a most tolerant manner when the debate topic turned to homosexuality? Give me a break.

recap
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Recaps: Survivor and the Apprentice</span>
Whew, I was glad to see the tribes go coed.
Too much estrogen and testosterone in one place is like eating sugar lumps with honey- it gets a mite too intense.
During the reward challenge, did anyone besides me check out Ami in her lavender bikini? She has the sexiest belly I've ever seen on that show. If she wasn't already my favorite, that would have done it for me. And Leann is no slouch herself. What an expressive face she's got. But Ami wins because of "The Ellen Factor," a special rating code we lesbians developed during one of our secret, homosexual agenda conventions.
Well. Bubba got the boot.
Between his accent being straight out of central casting for "Deliverance," his receding, red hair that looks suspiciously like pubes, and that monstrously hideous orange T-shirt with smarmy Bob Barker's face on it, I was getting a facial tic watching him. Add in those red, saggy shorts with the skid marks in back, and you have a breeding ground for viewers wanting to poke out their own eyes with a sharp stick.
Between Bubba and Rory, the Yaser women really got the stems and seeds of the men's team.
I loved how Amy didn't want to share all their housekeeping tips with the boys-- such a good lesbian, wanting to keep her firm, shapely coconuts away from the menfolk.
And I really loved how pissed she got when she saw that stoop Bubba making hand signals and stage whispering, "merge" to his dorky pal Chris, who remained with the other team.
When the tribes switched members, old Twila sure came alive around Sarge and those other butch guys. I thought I glimpsed some sexual energy in her eyes while she was talking to Sarge. Then I remembered, she wants to BE one of them, not be WITH one of them.
Anyway, the show is finally picking up some steam now that the cast has fewer names and faces to remember. And with Bubba gone, my nightmares will stop about seeing that T-shirt further decaying over the weeks to come.
The Apprentice:
I think you might have to be gay to really appreciate the delicious irony of putting a clump of straight guys into a project involving fashion design, merchandising and marketing.
When they were picking out fabrics, I thought I was going to wet my pants laughing.
I mean, I'm not exactly haute couture, but I do know that plaid, Herculon sofa upholstery fabric in shades of brown is not suited for women's fashion wear, especially when paired with pastel, floral patterned voile in shades of mauve and lavender.
Still, I'd rather have been on their team than the women's team. All that girly girl sashaying around, trying on stuff and saying 'fabulous' too much would have made me nervous.
I would have begged for the task of doing the swatch books, off in a corner and away from all the High Fashion Barbie action.
And what's with Raj, chatting up the models as if he stood a chance?
Do lines like his actually work on anyone? If I were straight and a guy with a bow tie started schmoozing me up, I'd ask him if his tie was from the Orville Redenbacher menswear collection.
Tip: Chances are, if a man's fashion gimmick is shared only by right-wing meat puppet Tucker Carlson, it's not gonna get him laid any faster than a Billy Ray Cyrus mullet would.
I forget the guy's name who got fired, because I was too fixated on the poopy diaper face that blond guy Wes was making after they lost. He's annoying now that I saw how pissy he looked after losing the challenge.
Though the polls want Ivana fired next, I think Elizabeth should go. She's one of those women that make people say women are hard to work with.
Wait. ALL the women are that way on the show this season!
