Fred Phelps

Good old Fred Phelps never fails to impress me with the lengths he will go to in order to show how much he hates homosexuals. This time he took his homo-hatin' congregation to stage a protest at a funeral of two Tennessee soldiers who died in Iraq. Phelps claims that American soldiers are being killed in Iraq because God is punishing America for harboring gays. I didn’t know that America harbors gays. “Give me your tired gays and lesbians, wretched trannies yearning to breathe free…” Since when has this country been a safe pink port in a storm? Phelps acts like America is just one big gay men’s choir or lesbian softball league. I wish that I lived in the country that he believes is here.

At least people weren’t having him, because the angry Phelps was drowned out by an even larger counter-protest of people who were even angrier that the homophobes were disrupting a funeral in order to further their idiotic cause. What’s his problem anyway? Why does he think God hates fags? What good does he think he will do by mocking the tragic, needless deaths of American troops and harassing their families? If anything, it might bring more support for our cause.

Actually, I applaud Phelps for his efforts because everything he does seems to build more of an argument against homophobia and hatred. What if Phelps is actually an undercover queer activist, using radical methods of reverse psychology in order to win support for gay Americans? It isn’t so hard to believe. Everything he has done is completely hateful and makes people who would otherwise be ambivalent to gays want to protect them. Fred Phelps is so easy to make a stance against, because his arguments are preposterous, his accusations nonsensical, his agenda just plain stupid... he truly must be a secret ally.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Janiston

Why did Jennifer Aniston
feel the need to spill
her personal life
to Vanity Fair?

Why should that
be our business?

I lost respect for her.

Not because I have no interest
in her story, which I dont.
But because she gave in
to the media temptation
What? a million dollars
for the interview?

Like she needs it.

Pathetic.

Send in the Clowns

I was not meant to wake up today.

Today was when I had the full realization
that I am not as much of a people person
as I once thought I was
and frankly, I always knew I was never
much of a people person to begin with
but today confirmed
that I'm far less
than I ever gave myself credit for

And in the midst of utter chaos,
my mother calls me
from Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills
to tell me she just tried on
the ring she wants me to buy her
when I'm rich and famous

and it's only 1.1 million dollars.

Right after this she
let out a scream of delight
shouted "Valentino"
told me she loved me
and hung up.

now comes August

Ugh.
July went really fast.
too fast.

I'm watching
the Texas Chainsaw Massacre
the new version.

Now normally remakes
are horrible

like that new
Amityville Horror
god that blew.

But the new TCM
I really enjoyed
it scared the hell out of me
when I saw it
twice in the movies

Mom is away
flew to LA
then to Cleveland
then to Salt Lake City
all in one week
she'll be home by Friday

work soon.
