I got your gay reality show right here….

Apparently, Julie Millam from the Montana Family Coalition doesn’t like the “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” show on TV: “To me, that’s not a reality show about gay people. A really good reality show for gay people would be five gay men dying of AIDS.”
No… A REALLY good reality show for gay people would be a video of me flying to Montana to BEAT THE HOLY LIVING CRAP out of Julie Milliam. In fact, it could be a series. Each week I locate one anti-gay bigot and kick the ignorance right out of them on national television. I can guarantee you’d get 25 million gay Americans watching every week.

Bush Goes Totally Delusional

“The military also announced the deaths of two more American soldiers, killed by makeshift bombs in Baghdad, as President Bush (news – web sites) appealed to other nations to set aside “past bickering” to help with peacekeeping and reconstruction.”
PAST BICKERING? On what planet was there preliminary events of the Iraq invasion called “past bickering?” Bush, you invaded a sovereign nation without provocation, using as an excuse fabricated information. You did this in defiance of PRACTICALLY THE ENTIRE PLANET, who knew damned well the information you were presenting was false. You didn’t achieve any of your objectives in the invasion (make the world safer, kill Sadaam Hussein) and you’ve gotten thousands of people killed in the process and trashed a country. And people are supposed to get past their feelings and help you? Good god we have a total retard in the White House.

Republicans Say Democrats are Terrorists, Wall Street Journal Agrees

From the NY Times:

“With costs and casualties rising in the war on terrorism, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld struck back today at the administration’s widening circle of critics, saying they were complicating an already difficult task. Mr. Rumsfeld did not mention any of the domestic critics by name. But he suggested that those who have been critical of the administration’s handling of the war in Iraq and its aftermath might be encouraging American foes to believe that the United States might one day walk away from the effort, as it has in past conflicts.”

[Emphasis mine.]

And Tuesday, and op/ed headline in the Wall Street Journal: “Bush Parries a Terror Attack, From the Democrats”

The Golden Days of Usenet: Godwin’s Law

  • Post author:

Godwin’s Law: prov. [Usenet] “As a Usenet argument grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.” There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin’s Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. However there is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin’s Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful.

Toynbee Tile

Toynbee Tiles are tiles embedded into city streets with a odd messages on them – and they appear on hundreds of streets in dozens of cities, including here in Indianapolis, Indiana. The messages are almost all alike and contain some variation of “Toynbee Idea’s in Kubrick’s 2001 Resurrect Dead on Planet Jupiter.” The tile in Indianapolis, appears on Georgia and Meridian Streets, according to this site.

What does it mean? No one’s certain, but it apparently has something to do with a man name James Morasco who has no voice box, secret short-wave radio broadcasts, and playwright David Mamet.

Other news articles about the tiles:

Lori sent me this Fark Photoshop contest of Ann Coulter shooting something in her backyard. See the original photo from her site here.
Several of the photoshoppers emphasized something interesting about the picture of Ann… she’s white trash. Look at the house, look at the people on the porch. Jesus if she’s really got a best-seller like she claims, why doesn’t she buy a friggin’ new house? Sittin’ around shooting stuff off the back porch… how more more of a redneck can you get?

Buy the House Next Door to Me

The house next to mine is going up for sale at the Sheriff’s auction on September 17th. The auction is held in Room 260 of the City-County building, and bids can be put in starting at 10 a.m. The auction starts after 3:30 p.m.

It would be really wonderful if someone bought and renovated this house, because it has a great history and has really beautiful architecture. Plus my property value would go up.

2005 Update: someone did end up buying the house next to me, and is doing a great job of renovating. Very exciting.

Don’t forget to tip your waiter…

Funny link I found on my friend Lori’s site about tipping waiters. Apparently there’s a gay waiter who’s a bit pissed off. I wonder why he’s mentioned the name Ben Solomon… I can’t tell if he’s dissing Ben or not. Ben is one of the wealthy gay men in town.
I also like the other post about “the richest people” who don’t tip. I remember back when I was roommates with Dennis Williams who was a waiter at the Black-Eyed Pea and at Houlihan’s, the people who never tipped him were the Christians who came to eat lunch on Sundays after church. Either they’d leave no tip at all or instead of money they’d leave a religious pamphlet about how expecting a tip is un-Christian and about saving your soul. Somewhere I still have one of those; I should dig it out. A lot of Christians are just complete ass-hats. Not all of them, of course, just some.
