God morning Pope

There are few crimes worse than sex with kids, let me think for a second, OK, let me amend that, there are no crimes worse than sexually abusing children. There, I said it. One would think that someone like the Pope would understand this.

As I am sure anyone who reads this blog, or reads anything, already knows, the Pope has been accused of turning a deaf ear to a huge ugly sex scandal involving celibate priests. I know, something serious is going down when celibate anything is having sex. I mean, come on, the very meaning of celibate is, well, no sex.

I was celibate for a few weeks in the 80's. It was hell. So I have an acute understanding of the pain and humiliation that priests must go through on a yearly basis. But then again, they made the lifestyle choice, I did not.

So, in short, here is the scandal. Priests, at least some of them, like to have sex with young boys. The Pope, back when he was still in the religious minor leagues, did not punish a priest who was sexing up young boys. There is the scandal. Sex, boys, priests and a blind pre-pope.

Again, like many sex scandals in this world, the right thing is obvious. The Pope should resign and admit he is scummy and disappear. I am not sure where disgraced popes go to hide their shame, hopefully somewhere far from young boys. Like politicians in America, the Pope will feel it is the right of him and his friends to do what they must because they have some sort of blessing. Now, I would imagine that God and Jesus are watching the news on a big screen somewhere in heaven and hopefully they are drinking a shit load of wine and are buzzed, because if they are watching the Pope dance around a priest on boy sex scandal without just coming out, admitting fault and walking away in shame, then my guess is the pope will not be visiting Jesus or God anytime soon.

Until then, let's all sing along.

Get out you blood sucking illegals

What to make of the dear sweet people of Arizona? I am all for deporting illegal aliens, I think we all are, I just don't think they are doing enough.

This just out, from some rally of some sort in California.

"Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) wants to start deporting American citizens. Not all American citizens, mind you. Just the natural-born American citizens that are the children of illegal immigrants.
At a tea party rally in Ramona in San Diego County over the weekend, Hunter fielded a question about the issue. "Would you support deportation of natural born American citizens that are the children of illegal aliens?" a man in the audience asked. "I would have to, yes," Hunter said."

Hmmm, the legal citizens of illegal aliens, deportable all of a sudden. Which gives me a great idea, one that I am certain to forward to my new best friend, Duncan Hunter, congressman and hero.

Dear Duncan Hunter, hero-

I have an idea. Lets deport all the children of illegal aliens, pronto. Wait, is pronto an American word? Quickly, deport those bastards quickly. Now, if you can not spot the illegals among us, I have some pointers. First, ask them, what is your mommys name, or something like that. If the child says Lupe, trust me Duncan, illegal written all over that deportation letter.
But Duncan, I do not think deporting the children of illegals will be enough. Americans are tired of the illegals taking our jobs, even the jobs we don't want. Here is my idea, deport ALL illegal immigrants. Now, this is going to be a little more expensive, but trust me, the country will forever be indebted to you for this. Now, first thing is get a list of all the people who came over on the Mayflower. Those bastards hit the shores with no documentation, no passports and they certainly we not Americans when the landed on our shores and tried to speak our language. It will not be hard to find the illegals, they always are bragging about their ancestors, damn them. So, Duncan, I am behind you a katrillion percent on this one, we start with the Mayflower illegals and work our way up.
We'll get to the Mexicans, but first those tards from Engalnd. Oh, and Duncan, one more thing, the African slaves? Totally illegal immigrants, might want to work on them too. Best to wait till the NBA playoffs are over, but do what you must.
Remember the Chinese who build the first railroad line? All illegals. Sure, they may have been promised citizenship, but that was a long time ago.
Go get 'em Duncan, all of them. Pretty soon, it will just be us real Americans left.

Illegal shoes

Oh my, the good people of Arizona plan to deport the illegals among them. Probably a good idea, since there is massive unemployment and I am almost sure that all those out of work real estate sales people and mortgage ponzi schemers would like nothing better than to learn to wash dishes, pick fruit and landscape McMansions.

What I love about this country is how happy and proud we are to bathe in our hypocrisy. It never ceases to bring a smile to my face when someone running for political office ends up coming clean about their cleaning woman/nanny and how they hired an illegal alien to raise their children, or clean their pool. These are often the same people demanding tax cuts to stimulate the economy. How about tax paying some back taxes you failed to pay for your illegal workers? Nah, why worry about it now?

Arizona is one of those states with an awful lot of Mexican American people living there, some probably came to this country illegally, some not. Personally, my family has lived in America for a very long time, I believe 6-7 generations at this point. The story goes that my great great grandfather crossed the plains in a covered wagon. Yikes. An interloper without proper legal papers, even back then. This country has a long history of accepting immigrants and allowing them to make something of themselves in the land of the free. Of course, my sense is that it is much easier for a white skinned immigrant to cross into our borders, but that could be my own prejudice.

A lot of old people retire to Arizona. I wonder who is mowing their respective laws and cleaning the bugs out of their respective pools. Certainly not the elderly. If there is one thing I know about the elderly, they do not do a lot of mowing.

The bottom line with the new Arizona "ship em back to where they came from" law is how hard it would be to be in law enforcement at a time when such a law has been enacted. Just how does one know if someone is illegal or not? Especially in a place where the sun shines so much that everyone is tanned, leather skinned and possibly armed? Well, look below, apparently there is a tried and true way to spot them illegals.

World Trade Center returns

The New York Times has the story, and it's good news for anyone who remembers 9-11 as anything more than a rallying call for right wing propaganda. The story, here.

Also, as a little gift, the artist who created the dramatic lights at the World Trade Center as a memorial to the loss of life. I did a short film on him, I am not sure that he even mentions the light memorial, but he did during the interview. Anyway, the film of him is here.

The war on white peoples drugs

Oh my. This week the most popular video in the world was some drunken loser at a music festival in California putting his flip flops on. It is hilarious.

Because competition is good and drunken (or drugged) white people are almost always funny, let us have a little show down. First off, drunken/drugged Seattle area music festival bozo and the dance of the never going to get laid sort. Next up, the kind of sexy, but incredibly drunk/high loser from the California music festival. You be the judge.



The drunk flip flop bozo is here, sorry no ability to embed.

Barney Frank? The end of gay week

Well, I once had a dream about the corrupt and corpulent congressman Barney Frank. Please, not a sex dream, and if memory serves me, it was not because I distinctly recall waking up and thinking, "Barney Frank dream, please lord, there was no sex, right?"

Imagine my surprise when, in the midst of editing a film on the great recession I tried numerous times to interview the prancing and lisping congressman from Massachusetts. Imagine my shock and surprise when I never heard from his office. Now, this is a politician who seemingly has never met a camera he could not smother. Turn on any channel that purports to have a news bureau and sooner or later Congressman Frank will traipse onto the set and begin his lisping monologue about the dangers of, fill in the blank. Barney never has positive things to blow on about, it is always some republican thing, or a terrible injustice here or there, possibly a misplaced hershey bar, something important.

For me though? No response. I wanted to ask dear Barney why it had taken so long to regulate banks and financial institutions after the government spent hundreds of billions bailing them out. I could actually ask that same question today, since Barney and his brethren have yet to offer up any serious regulations. When it comes to Wall Street, not only does Barney bend over, but he offers a cigar and naughty nighty.

So, after a week of gays in the news, and trust me, I am painfully aware that the ACLU has filed a new brief on behalf of that sweet sweet Oklahoma lesbian who only wanted to go to prom. Seems some bad parents put on a fake prom for the not so cool kids and a real prom for the inbred fundamentalists. Now, if the ACLU would bother to ask me, the sweet lesbian got off easy, which is something lesbians are apparently good at. My attitude would be, as it is in so many social functions, I would rather hang with the fun people and shun the retards.

Joe Biden is gay. Oh, I am sure he loves his wife and he only limits his fantasy life to women and Barrack Obama, but trust me, those nice shirts and the hair plugs scream closet case. Why do I bring this up? Because in another window I am searching for a clip of Barney Frank, because I am not done prancing all over his stained and soiled reputation.

Since Gay Week is almost over, at least here, because god knows the gay party scene is just revving up, I thought it would be good to preview what will be coming up. I am going in depth on my new career as the angel of death (trademark pending). It's true, over the past few months almost all the elderly people I have interviewed have died. What seems like some sort of strange system of bad odds and even worse luck, all will be made clear in what I imagine will be both humorless and heartless. Being the Angel of Death has been completely and terribly frustrating, because quite honestly, these people who keep dying have for the most part seemed like good citizens, soldiers, business leaders, grand parents and the like. On the other hand, evil and idiotic people continue to live, much to my chagrin.

Well, if you know me at all, you know I get all my liberal information from Fox News, and I can end this post with some real news, from a fair and balanced source, here then, Congressman Barney Frank, doing what he does best. Well, I take that back, because according to my sources on the Supreme Court and associated bathroom stalls in a variety of Airports, Congressman Frank is a remarkable Gilbert and Sullivan perform.

Gay like you

Oh my, you just have to wonder about all those religions. It seems to me that the more we try to repress people, the stranger they get. If it's not Ted Haggard and his meth boyfriend, it is some other public figure who gets all sexy and then has to confess, be degraded and finally come out.

Let me tell you something, the world really is getting to the point that they just don't care what adults do in their bedroom. Sure, some backwoods countries continue to deny gay people rights, like marriage and heathcare, but these are countries ruled by insane religion and inbred hicks. Of course I am talking about both Afghanistan and Texas, but that is beside the point.

Continuing on my week of gayness, here is a piece of a PBS documentary on the dancing boys of Afghanistan. Now, I don't know much, but I do know this, if you are a man who likes to watch other men dressed in dressed dance around and be all sexy, chances are you would either like to dress in dresses and be all sexy too, or you would like to kiss other men who do such things. It countries, like Afghanistan and most Southern States, people are so caught up in their religious bigotry they often loose sight that the people who perform and get performed are their neighbors, florists and doctors. There will come a time when we stop nosing into the private lives of others, but probably not today.
