Too Much Gay-ness

Posted on August 7, 2003 by marc

Recent polls of ordinary Americans indicate that there’s too much gayness being displayed in the media and in society at large. Who does this surprise? One can hardly turn on a TV show without their being a gay theme or at least a gay character in it. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that”, according…

RE: WP: Million-Dollar Recall

Posted on July 30, 2003 by marc

The Washington Post’s David Broder thinks that the California recall referendum is a black mark on our democracy. Actually, the recall election simply proves that it is possible for the people to get what they want, as long as they are willing to out-scheme the system. Thinking locally, it would be nice if Texans could…

When is it OK to say ‘No’?

Posted on July 30, 2003 by marc

According to the Illinois legislature, it’s OK for a woman to say ‘no’ at any time during the sex act. True, technically their new law reads ‘any person’, but that’s an irrelevancy, perverse homosexual acts aside. And what man would dare challenge this female-empowering law? Only one who is willing to bear the full inferno…

Gay Marriage

Posted on July 18, 2003 by marc

A (former?) friend of mine, who happens to be gay and will remain unnamed, sent me this link. Here’s the tag line: Join me in adding your voice to a million voices raised in support of civil marriage for gay couples. Nope, I don’t think so. In the immortal words of Jerry Seinfeld, “not that…

Supreme Court: OK to be Gay!

Posted on June 27, 2003 by marc

The Supreme Court of the United States says it’s OK to be gay. Charming. Thanks, Justices, for your help in raising strong, healthy children in the cesspool of modern life. And thanks to the Houston Chronicle, for assenting. I love Anthony Scalia’s statement: “Even if the Texas law does deny equal protection to “homosexuals as…

Affirmative Action Lives On, Unfortunately

Posted on June 23, 2003 by marc

The Supreme Court has voted to allow “limited” forms of affirmative action in college admissions policy. Here’s what Houstonians had to say. Notice anything odd about the feedback page? Of those pictured, only one was a minority and I use that term loosely when referring to a college graduate. I found that highly amusing. Are…

Gays OK in Philly Scouts

Posted on May 29, 2003 by marc

Philly says Boy Scouts must allow gays in. Do you recall Bruce Willis’ line in that American classic film “Die Hard”, when he said “…all things being equal, I’d rather be in Philadelphia…” while picking glass shards out of his bare feet? I say, all things being equal, the Philadelphia troop should be kicked out…

Nightmares

Posted on March 29, 2003 by marc

A grown man, dreaming of taking a walk through the woods and finding cats hung from trees by their necks. In my dream I blamed the act on cruel teenagers, the little shit for brains that they are. Once awake, I decided to have a look around and what do I see out my front…

Should We Make Last Call Earlier?

Posted on November 19, 2002 by marc

There’s quite a debate in England regarding extending pub hours. Read a nay-sayer’s opinion piece. Perhaps we should consider shortening them here in the old U.S. of A. One can hear the drunken cries of “hic, I know when I’s had ’nuff” even across the digital divide. Want to cut down on drunk-driving? Keep your…
