Month: February 2005

  • Undercover with White Supremacists

    From SF Weekly: Approaching the perky Applebee’s receptionist, I explain that I’m supposed to meet a guy named Kevin, his wife, a baby, and another member of their group. “They promote our culture you know,” I say with a wink. The white supremacists are already eating their appetizers; they have frowns on their faces. “There’s […]

  • Hillary vs Condi in 2008?

    Ugh. On both sides. What could be one of the most fascinating presidential elections of all time: Hillary Clinton vs. Condoleeza Rice. Besides being assured of the long overdue first woman president, we would have two of the more intelligent candidates in recent memory going against each other. Now that (unlike last night’s Democratic debate) […]

  • Ballys Total Fitness and Me

    My Bally’s membership turned three years old this month. And for customers of the draconian company, that is indeed a milestone. Now my membership dues are waved and my membership is free! Free! Free! Except for a small monthly maintenance fee. What kind of stupid bullshit is that? I knew about the monthly fee long […]

  • There's Something About Marrying (The Simpsons)

    I thought that gay-marriage episode of The Simpsons was a total cop-out – not as bad as the Joe Millionaire false-ending cop-out but more along the lines of a Chris Carter X-Files ‘end of one season tease to movie and then not answer anything and tease to next season and still not answer anything’ cop-out. […]

  • Hunter S. Thompson – RIP

    From Kingdom of Fear: We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world – a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and […]

  • Iraq Vets Offered Ecstasy to Treat Flashbacks

    The Food and Drug Administration has given the go-ahead for soldiers traumatized by their time in Iraq and Afghanistan to be offered the party drug ecstasy to help free them of flashbacks and recurring nightmares. The soldiers would take the drug as part of an experiment to see if MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, […]

  • Howard Brown Employee Dealt Meth + Chicago Fireball

    Chicago Police have busted an employee of the Howard Brown Center – one of the major (and acclaimed) gay outreach centers in the city – for dealing crystal meth. I hope this doesn’t tarnish Howard Brown’s image – I hold them in huge esteem for their response to HIV for everybody in the city as […]

  • Iraq Elections Compared to Dominican Republic, Vietnam, and El Salvador

    Resist.ca points to this: Once again the media have played the turnout card, in line with the official public relations agenda, with the Iraqi public defying the insurgents and the U.S. military playing a pro-democracy role in protecting the election, just as the Salvadoran army did in the Salvadoran elections of 1982 and 1984. Once […]

  • Putin backs Iran in Nuclear Row

    Russian doesn’t see weapons program, vows to help with reactor. Hi Cold War!! How ya been?

  • Tom Colapietro is an Idiot

    Democrat Tom Colapietro is raising eyebrows by calling homosexuality a “sickness” which marriage will not cure. After the gays complained, the Democrat backpeddled, “I feel bad they took the word `sick’ as derogatory,” Colapietro said Monday. “It wasn’t meant that way,” and suggested that gayness might be caused by “a chemical imbalance.”
