Week of March 6th

Perennial Presidential candidate, Ralph Nader has decided once again, to run for POTUS. In the early ‘60s, Nader wrote a book titled, Unsafe at Any Speed and killed the Chevrolet Corvair. That book made him famous and he’s been living off that fame ever since. And to keep his name out there, he runs for President almost every election cycle. Nader’s runs never really made a difference until 2000 when he ran against George W. Bush and Al Gore. If you recall, that was the election in which the courts stepped in and gave Bush the Presidency. Bush won in Florida by about 750 votes over Gore. Had Nader not run in Florida, that would have probably given Nader’s entire 90,000 votes to Al Gore and he would have become President. What’s really odd is that Nader runs under the Green Party ticket and it was that 2000 run that kept Gore from ever becoming our greenest President ever. Nader, who’s even older than John McCain, feels that him running is best for the country. I say, give it up Ralph, no one cares about you anymore.

Faux News Channel’s Bill O’Really has threatened to uncover a scandal against a prominent Democrat after the New York Times revealed a scandal involving apparent Republican Presidential candidate, John McCain. Don’t get me wrong, I’m certainly not defending what the New York Time did and especially the way they did it. If they had proof and names they should have stated that proof and given those names. But, as of this writing, they haven’t. So, what did O’Really say on his show? “Easily done, in the same way the NYT did it. I could do it. I could do it tomorrow. Anonymous sources told me. This individual in America, again a prominent Democrat, was doing this. Everybody in the journalism business knows that story is in play, no one will report it.” These Reich-wing nut jobs are so full of themselves.

I heard a joke the other day and I don’t remember how or where I heard it but is says something about Fidel Castro resigning as Cuban President and has chosen his brother Raul to take his place. His actions will keep his dim-witted son, Fidel W. Castro from running the country.

Former “Big Brother” (season 2) contestant, Kent Blackwelder has filed a $4 million lawsuit against Specialty Publications for accidentally sending Kent a copy of Titan Men’s “Farm Fresh”. His daughter opened the package that was delivered to the Blackwelder residence by mistake thinking it was a Disney DVD. They allege that the delivery caused both Blackwelder and his 12 year-old daughter “extreme emotional stress”. I wonder how much of the video they watched before they realized it wasn’t The Littlest Mermaid or something. Blackwelder just about made television history when, during the first episode of the show, he went on and on about how much he disliked gay people then had a total change of heart when he found out his best friend in the house, Bunky, was gay.

Sometimes we seem to get support from some of the strangest places. I never would have thought that former pro-basketball star, Charles Barkley would come out and support gay marriage. On CNN’s “The Situation Room” last week, Barkley denounced the GOP as being fake Christians. When questioned about the remark “fake Christians”, Barkley said, “Well, I think they - they want to be judge and jury. Like, I’m for gay marriage. It’s none of my business if gay people want to get married. I’m pro-choice. And I think these Christians, - first of all they’re supposed to be - they’re not supposed to judge other people. But they’re the most hypocritical judge of people we have in this country. And it bugs the hell out of me. They act like they’re Christians. And they’re not forgiving at all.”

Scientists have developed a substance that absorbs 99.955% of all light. The Washington Post reports, “The material, made of hollow fibers, is a Roach Motel for photons, light checks in, but it never checks out. By voraciously sucking up all surrounding illumination, it can give those who gaze on it a dizzying sensation of nothingness.” Up until this point, the blackest-black thing known to man has been Dick Cheney’s heart.

This little piece ran on Craig’s List in Houston: “I am an attractive, in shape hung (9 inches) black male from Atlanta here on business. I am looking for a masculine white male to service me, then get pounded in my hotel room today or tomorrow (saturday). Send your pics, stats and background info. I want to wear my Obama mask while I pound you.” Once again, more proof that you can find anything on Craig’s List.

With the first of two local gay pride celebrations taking place in less than a month, I have been informed of a website/blog that specializes in unearthing old newspaper reports and articles chronicling the history of gay bars in New York City. Though perhaps the most famous bar being the Stonewall Inn, which is credited for being the start of the modern gay rights movement, it was by far not the first since this blog starts in clips from the turn of the 20th century.
