Rep. Alan Grayson

It’s not too often that I’m moved positively by political behavior.  Most of the time I feel downright postal, especially when it comes to Utah politicians.

The national “debate” is about health care.  One man lately has cajones.  Huge cajones.  (Granted, a pre-pubescent has more cajones than a full-grown Democrat in most cases, but I’m not inclined to verify, personally.)  Here’s to Representative Alan Grayson of Florida.

Sex and Politics

Quid pro quo.  Something for something.  It’s the nature of negotiations and compromise.  It’s human nature and we want, and we give.

But it’s deliciously entertaining when my favorite hypocritical and self-righteous political party airs their ideology so… publicly, such as Republican Assemblyman Michael Duvall, who was thought the mike was off and he recounted his marital indiscretions with a lobbyist (yes, I know, the epitome of cliché, a lobbyist who would even THINK of fucking his/her way through a deal).

Duvall, speaking to a relatively mum Republican colleague seated to his left, apparently had no idea his dais microphone became live beginning about a minute before the start of a cable-televised committee hearing. He was captured in the middle of recounting portions of an affair.

“She wears little eye-patch underwear,” said Duvall, who is married with two children. “So, the other day she came here with her underwear, Thursday. And so, we had made love Wednesday–a lot! And so she’ll, she’s all, ‘I am going up and down the stairs, and you’re dripping out of me!’ So messy!” (http://www.calitics.com/)

Class act.  Almost makes me want to go out and share my family values with a prostitute – kind of like Senator David Vitter.  I’m just waiting for the Mormons to have their huge scandals:  various positions aside from the strict missionary, dry humping, and excessive Marriott overnighters to view p.o.r.n.  Who am I kidding – Mormons are fucking around just like everyone else.

Dear Texas (emphasis on ASS)

Please oh please, let Utah try this, too.  And Idaho.  And South Carolina.  Alaska, too.  Oh hell, let’s have another civil war and let a bunch of drag queens kick the traitors’ asses.

Congratulations to Iowa

News Release
For Immediate Release: April 3, 2008
Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal
House Speaker Pat Murphy

Iowa continues to be a leader in guaranteeing civil rights.

This is a joint statement from Iowa Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal and Iowa House Speaker Pat Murphy on today’s Supreme Court decision:

“Thanks to today’s decision, Iowa continues to be a leader in guaranteeing all of our citizens’ equal rights.

“The court has ruled today that when two Iowans promise to share their lives together, state law will respect that commitment, regardless of whether the couple is gay or straight.

“When all is said and done, we believe the only lasting question about today’s events will be why it took us so long. It is a tough question to answer because treating everyone fairly is really a matter of Iowa common sense and Iowa common decency.

“Today, the Iowa Supreme Court has reaffirmed those Iowa values by ruling that gay and lesbian Iowans have all the same rights and responsibilities of citizenship as any other Iowan.

“Iowa has always been a leader in the area of civil rights.

“In 1839, the Iowa Supreme Court rejected slavery in a decision that found that a slave named Ralph became free when he stepped on Iowa soil, 26 years before the end of the Civil War decided the issue.

“In 1868, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that racially segregated “separate but equal” schools had no place in Iowa, 85 years before the U.S. Supreme Court reached the same decision.

“In 1873, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled against racial discrimination in public accommodations, 91 years before the U.S. Supreme Court reached the same decision.

“In 1869, Iowa became the first state in the union to admit women to the practice of law.

“In the case of recognizing loving relationships between two adults, the Iowa Supreme Court is once again taking a leadership position on civil rights.

“Today, we congratulate the thousands of Iowans who now can express their love for each other and have it recognized by our laws.”

The funny sounds in the background are of Mormon leaders gasping for breath.  May their hearts give out, the hintless fucks.

Obama and Pride

When was the last time a President moved you to tears with the power and eloquence of his words and with the vision of his ideas?  Does that man have the commanding cadence of a skilled orator, or what?  He makes the speakers of an LDS General Conference sound like they’re chewing gravel in a funeral home, one dead and lifeless and uninspired speech at a time.  That’s not quite fair – a double AA battery has more life to it than an LDS General Conference.  But I digress.

President Obama. There feels a certain rightness in the world, and it feels good to be proud of our President again.  He’s not President for some of us.  He’s President for all of us.

To all those who voted for Bush (even once was too much)  – I can only wonder what you were thinking.  Let me volunteer to spank your bare hineys.  It will take decades to remove the world destruction that Bush wrought.  To the Bush clan – rest in peace and obscurity, far far away from cameras and microphones.

Boycott?

Boycott Utah?  There are active bloggers and GLBT groups who’ve already started a general boycott on all-that-is-Mormon or Catholic because of Prop 8.  That anyone would be surprised is beyond me.  Hello?  You don’t piss off the drag queens and lesbians.  Common sense, people.  I have no issue with going for (boycotting or publicly humiliating) the individuals and businesses who did give to Prop 8:  Priceline, Dell computer exec, etc.  While Bill Marriot did not donate to Prop 8, the moral giant came out with his own accolades of what a great guy he is and how sensitive he is to diversity.  Bill Marriott is a good Mormon and pays tithing.  I can’t in good conscience support his hotel empire, knowing my super-homo monies trickle into Mormon coffers – even if Mr. Marriott so considerately has started including gay porn in select locations.  Mr. Marriott – I’m sorry, but you’re on the bigot bus.  Let us (the GLBT) community know when you’re done on that ride?  Kthxbai.

I’m not an advocate of boycotting Utah.  Yes, the Sundance folks need to come out strongly in support of human rights for all or they can see their venue dry up like a condom left in the sunlight.  Yes, the skiing is great in Utah, but if Colorado was smart, they’d leverage the charges of Utah bigotry and make some big, gay, ski bunny money.  Suddenly, I wish I had a marketing background, but I digress.

But boycott all of Utah?  No.  Not even in my rage against the fucktards that are Mormon would I advocate such a stance.  I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again – go for the misguided bigots that donated directly, and go for the businesses they represent.  But leave the innocents and guiltless of Utah alone.  The non-Mormon folks living in Utah are the only rays of sunshine the whole goddamn state ever experiences.

Let’s pretend for a moment that you could boycott a state?  Which one would you choose, and why?  Sorry – Utah is hypothetically chosen, at least until Mormonism has a revelation on the sacred institution of man to man peen worship.  My bush is burning.  I have to go now.

Proposition 8 Endorsers: Bigots

Think about these groups or individuals the next time you may be in contact with them.  These are the entities that channeled money into the Proposition 8 campaign.  True, the Mormon church funneled the majority of money into Prop 8 and will never be forgiven for placing religious bigotry into the California state constitution, but let’s not forget any of the other dickless wonders and twat monkeys.

I hope they chafe and bleed every time they fuck their unholy scriptures.  I hope they continue to hemorrhage through social ostracizing and public humiliation.
