Go Congress! It's Your Birthday! No Amendment!

Ha ha! Take that Bushy! You have been DENIED! I guess everyone probably already knows that Bush's pet amendment designed to relegate gays and lesbians to permanent second-class citizenship has failed to pass in the senate by 12 votes, a lot of which were republicans who opposed the amendment from its inception.

How's this for political irony: not only is Dick Cheney's daughter a lesbian (whose opinion concerning the amendment was silenced to the tune of a $100,000/year salary to run her father's re-election campaign), his wife publicly opposed the discriminatory amendment.

I wonder what shameless political posture Bush will take next as he cows to the fascist, ultra-conservative, archaically religious, right-wing agenda? So much for "compassionate conservatism"...

Read my lips: like father like son.

Aha! A New Nine Inch Nails Video . . .

OK, I know I complained about the blog videos in the past, but I got curious and clicked over to check out the website that hosts them . . . you know, to see what was there. Well, I came across the new Nine Inch Nails video for the song "Only." After watching it, I decided I had to share it with everyone because it reminded me of a music video from the '80s by Aha (sp.?). You know the one I'm talking about--unless you're too young to have seen it, let alone remember it.--it was "Take on Me." Obviously the music and sentiment share nothing in common, but the style and medium of the video have an interesting parallel. Both depict being trapped in an alternate plain of existence visible to and of physical reality, but seperated and sharply divided from it--the inner fantasy world juxtaposed and competing with reality. Anyway, enjoy! (Video No Longer Available) Cheers-Thanksalot!

UPDATE TO PREVIOUS POST

Tim's flight went smoothly and he is now in Arkansas. My day feels hollow without being able to IM him. Still no word on exactly when he'll be back--either Friday night or Saturday morning/afternoon. Oh, and add that supreme bitch, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) to the list of modern-era senators refusing to cosponser the anti-lynching measure. I have also added her to my litany of reasons for truly despising this fucktard state in which I live. MEMO TO THE GOP: Your true (lack of) colors are showing. Smarmy sanctimonious bastards.
