Let's hope he means it.

Bailouts for the Big 3 under Detroit sky
Loans for bank CEOs in their empty vaults
None for Mortal Taxpayers doomed to pay
All from Bernanke on his dark throne.
In the land of Wall Street where the Brokers lie.
One Fed to rule them all, One Fed to buy them,
One Fed to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Wall Street where the Brokers lie.

2 Protests in Atlanta this Saturday the 15th in solidarity against California's Prop 8

Note to self: Next time don't rant and run. Next time elaborate your rant into a full-on screed instead of venting and heading out the door to work.

OK - here's my beef with some of the "sides" of the prop 8 divide, as brought on by reading through the blogosphere of late:

For people whining that placing blame upon those who are to blame for Prop 8 passing is in itself a form of intolerance: Grow up. Everything is not cotton candy and kum-ba-ya in life. Being sweet is not going to get the job done. Also, being called out on that which you are responsible for is NOT intolerance, it is accountability, and sometimes that stings a little. Wah.

For people whining that suing / calling out the leaders and decision makers of churches and other organizations who funded and supported the Yes On 8 crowd is "hateful"...Wise up. It is entirely appropriate to levy any and all legal consequences upon those who enabled/organized/encouraged the passage of Prop 8. If you want to go play patty-cake with them instead, be my guest, but you may want to move your head a little to the left cause I'm trying to aim.

For people who get all butthurt and sniffly (and worse, preachy and shame-throwing) because there are pissed off angry faggots out there on a tear over Prop 8? Grow a pair. If you don't feel angry about it, fine. If you want to hold a love-in over it, go for it. But don't you presume to criticize those who are hella pissed over this slap in the face to our civil rights. Our anger is not only justified, it is necessary.

Oh, ACT UP, where are you now?

I just had an epiphany as to why so many gay guys go on about how they aren't into "the gay scene" / acting "gay" / politics, etc.

They don't want community, or freedom, or dignity, or respect, or equality, or even tolerance.

They just want cock.

Duh.

Has anyone read/heard any official word from either the McCain or Obama campaign on either of the candidate's plan to restore the writ of habeas corpus?

Thanks to TV and for the convenience of TV, you can only be one of two kinds of human beings, either a liberal or a conservative.
