Lynching Senators UPDATE

Hutchison has finally done the honorable thing and signed on as a cosponser to the anti-lynching bill. Let's see what Cornyn does.

I take back what I said about Senator Hutchison, she is not a supreme bitch . . .

. . . just a regular one.

Why does it matter if someone signs on AFTER the vote. It was unanimous; who cares?

That's just it--we don't know that it was a unanimous vote because it was a voice-only vote, which means there is no record of who voted for or against it. Thus, cosponsering is the only documentation of who did or didn't support the measure. That's why it matters.

Not co-sponsoring a resolution does not equate to being against it. If it did, that would mean:

-that 426 members of the House of Representatives were against the following resolution: "Recognizing the anniversary of the ratification of the 13th Amendment and encouraging the American people to educate and instill pride and purpose into their communities and to observe the anniversary annually with appropriate programs and activities."

-that 65 Senators were against the Black History Month resolution

-that 99 Senators were against a bill to establish the "African Burial Ground National Historic Site and the African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum in New York, New York."

Please, I beg you, check your facts before you disparage people

Wow, somebody actually holding me to journalistic standards . . . Maybe "Commentator" needs to check his/her facts before making such a big hairy deal over a blog. This blog is pure opinion, not journalism.

I can and will continue to disparage those who have done nothing for me and have actually worked against me and the rest of the GLBT community.

Go back to freeper land, Commentator.

Cool . . . My first freeping. I almost feel like a legitimized left-wing, pink-o liberal blogger.

Rethuglicans are so funny when they act all huffy and selectively apply rule of ethics when it suits them.

What else really gets me about it is that somebody ACTUALLY went through the trouble and time to research that just to make a point on a stupid comment section on a stupid no-name blog. That to me seems like a bigger waste of time.

Sh!t L!st

Since I seemed to have ruffled someone's feathers enough by calling the Senator from Texas a bitch for not cosponsering an anti-lynching bill (which she later did retroactively, thus I removed the qualifier "supreme" from my insult), I thought I would make a list of all the assholes who've pissed me off, both politically and personally, some if not most of whom I will "disparage" at will. Just exercising my right to freedom of speech by voicing my opinion. I will not slander or libel anyone by making false accusations, but I will call people naughty names and rant and rave about things they've done or said, or things they should have done or said yet stayed mute. I am not politically correct, I do not kowtow to "Dear Leader" and his party of right-wing, affluent hooligans just because he happen to be president and let planes crash into buildings on his watch. I will criticize and insult him, anyone in his party, and anyone outside his party who...

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!
