I saw this story over at Think Progress about the 2006 Values Voter Summit Circle Jerk. Key Republicans like Tony Snow were there and it was their job to be fluffers guys like 'Bishop' Wellington Boone who said things like this:

"Now they’re fussing on it, they’re saying a few things, but they don’t have me, you know, in their, you know, on their web sites. They’re not coming at me strong, and I would say this. Back in the days when I was a kid, and we see guys that don’t stand strong on principle, we call them “faggots.” A punk is — and our people, I’m from the ghetto, so sometimes it does come out a little bit. I got another one I’m gonna say in a minute — [laughter] — that don’t stand up for what’s right, we say, “You’re sissified out!” “You’re a sissy!” That means you don’t stand up for principles."

I definitely believe him when he says he's "from the ghetto". That's undeniable. But I strongly disagree with his assertion that his little name-calling fantasies happened in his childhood because it's blatantly obvious he is a still an immature, potty-mouthed, spoiled little brat who needs the attention of an audience. It's also a possibility that his fantasies are actually about man-on-man butt-sex and he just can't admit it.

But the Republican lovefest didn't stop there. Rev. Dwight McKissic of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Texas took the gay theme a little further and revealed his insight on the identity of the Anti-Christ. Apparantly, Damian will be gay, having no desire for women.

I would like to add that, according to The Omen series, the Anti-Christ will also be very cunning, clever, charismatic and smart. Therefore, from my Who Is The Anti-Christ list, I can safely remove George W. Bush. Because of these recent revelations however, I do have to admit that I'm a bit stumped. In Omen III: The Final Conflict, Damian was definitely not gay because he really gave it to Lisa Harrow's character. Nonetheless, I have revised my list with the whole gay thing in mind:

Who Is The Anti-Christ?
1. Karl Rove
2. Ken Mehlman
3. The Pope
4. 90% of Catholic Priests in the U.S.
5. 100% of the Log Cabin Republicans
6. Jim McGreevey
7. Jeff Gannon
8. Tom Cruise
9. SpongeBob SquarePants
10. Ann Coulter (yes - she IS a man)

So, yes - the Bill Clinton interview this past weekend made me very happy. The traffic last night made me very angry and it took me couple of hours to cool down after getting home. And then, John Stewart's comments on the Clinton speech once again brightened my mood and Keith Olbermann's rant had me doing cartwheels.

This morning, I was looking forward to a calm morning at work. So as I'm going through my morning, pre-work routine of reading the news and blogs, the whole Clinton/Wallace thing was in my face once again. It wasn't surprising to see some angry reactions since Bill took Wallace out to pasture and labelled the Bush Administration the cowards that they are. But to see angy, bitchy, and ungrateful remarks from fellow Democrats really started to set me off again.

It's no wonder we can't win a fucking election, right?

But I decided to not let the jealousy of an ignorant slut get my goat. I decided to look within myself at all the positive things in my life, and let the love back in. So, as I thought about puppies, brownies, raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, and the Silversun Pickups show this weekend at The Echo, I decided to create a beautiful piece of Photoshop art for all the haters out there.

So, without further delay - to remind those who may have lost sight as to who our TRUE hero is - here is my Warhol-esque tribute to Bill "The Comeback Kid" Clinton:



Oh, and one more thing. Arianna Huffington is a whore.

Southern California has one of the most eloborate freeway systems in the world, so one might assume that it would be efficient. But you know what they say about 'assuming' things...

My commute from home in Long Beach to work in Orange, CA is about 17 miles each way and it normally takes me about 30 minutes. Last night, a tar truck tipped on the infamous 405 freeway, clogging up traffic for hours. And it didn't only interupt traffic on the northbound 405, but it basically backed up all northbound traffic - and a lot of the southbound traffic - on all other freeways and main fares in Orange County.

It took me 2 hours and 40 minutes to travel 17 miles. Yeah, it pissed me off and again reminded me of the WORST aspect of Southern California. But at least now I know that in the event of a natural disaster or terrorist attack or whatever, I will be much better off on foot. Or bicycle....or a fucking covered wagon or any other primitive mode of trasportation. Jeez.
