Maybe when you go into Wendy's you should specify that it's the chicken fingers that you want.

Surely one day very soon we’re going to have a Hall of Shameless Self Promotion: the nominess have got to include Jesse Jackson, Star Jones Reynolds, Anna Nicole Smith, Tammy Faye Baker, Paris Hilton & Nicole Ritchie, Lisa Minelli & David Gest, Tonya Harding, Paula Jones and now Farrah Fawcett

Is there anything that these people won’t do to promote themselves and get freebies?

Michael Jackson said that he believes that he is just the latest of several "black luminaries” to be unjustly accused.

Michael Jackson is Black?

The Christian Right scares me; it’s not their beliefs, they hold no power, it’s their political aspirations. For a good read and a glimpse into a futuristic, theocratic government (as if there weren’t enough present-day examples in the Middle East) read Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale.

My one and only prayer is: Jesus, protect me from your followers.

What a wonderful world! We’re going to learn what Farrah Fawcett does with her days. I can hardly wait.

I presume that the religious right that is demonstrating to save Terri Schiavo’s life is also against war, and the death penalty. I presume that when they say they value life that they mean that they are willing to provide health care to those already born into poverty or who are in this country illegally. I also presume that their compassion and tenacity in this case would be applied to a minority AIDS patient.


"The case is full of great ironies. A large part of Terri's hospice costs are paid by Medicaid, a program that the administration and conservatives in Congress would sharply reduce. Some of her other expenses have been covered by the million-dollar proceeds of a malpractice suit - the kind of suit that President Bush has fought to scale back."

- NPR commentator Daniel Schorr

Also, catch this editorial cartoon; it probably says it all.

As support for Bush’s personal Social Security retirement accounts shrinks, it will be interesting to see how he will change his belief of their importance as he did for the many changing reasons we went to war in Iraq.

You can tell a lot about people by how they park their cars.

I feel sorry for Terry Schiavo, her husband and her parents, the Schindlers, but Tom DeLay has used the opportunity to prove once again that he's despicably full of shit.

To all the idiots that think that Paris Hilton is worth watching and knowing about: What the hell is wrong with you?

Ditto to the "fans" of Anna Nicole and Jessica Simpson and hubby.

If people can have pro-life sentiments on their government-issued license plates, why don’t they offer “Legalize Marijuana” plates?

If the terrorists will just be patient, we’ll eat ourselves to death.

I guess when substance won’t work you go for image. Now Bush’s mommy is out pushing private retirement investment accounts.

Friday, March 18, 2005 from Cohutta

After his unsuccessful 15-state road show preaching about the wonders of his private retirement investment accounts, Bush is now saying that it is just an interesting idea that congress out to consider. What a transparent, little man he is!

I really haven't followed the details of the Robert Blake case, but if he had gone back to the restaurant for his wallet or his glasses rather than his gun, I might have had an easier time believing that he was innocent.

Having said that, I have a question for Robert Blake, who married Bonnie Lee Bakley in the first place: What the hell is wrong with you?

FOX NEWS, fair and balanced? Think again!

In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States.

FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves.

Hard to believe? Go to http://www.foxnews.com/ and put “fox news vs akre/wilson florida court case” in the search engine.

Just because you can have a same-sex marriage in California, doesn't mean that you can have one in LA (Lower Alabama).

Monday, March 14, 2005 from Cohutta

Supreme Court Justice Scalia said regarding the overthrow of Texas's sodomy laws that "laws banning same-sex marriage, prostitution, bigamy, incest, adultery, masturbation, bestiality and obscenity would be vulnerable."

OMG, masturbation is illegal?

There’s a reason that Bush’s traveling road show isn’t doing so well; snake oil isn't really in demand these days.

The Alabama legislature just banned gay marriage with a 30 to 0 vote. I'm sure the Alabama citizens are breathing easier now that their state is better place to live for everyone (well, maybe not everyone). How ironic that they have recently been boasting about how far they've come since that dark day in Selma forty years ago. What a joke!

I would think that pajamas would be the last thing that Michael Jackson would want the jury to see him in.

To all the parents who let their kids sleep in Michael Jackson's bedroom: What the hell is wrong with you?

Wednesday, March 9, 2005 from Cohutta

I'm all for keeping criminals off the streets, but what do they think Martha Stewart is going to do, swipe a recipe and then lie about it? I hope that the prosecutors are this zealous when they get around to sentencing Ken Lay and the others who have ruined people's lives with their greed.

When the AARP gave support to the Bush Administration's prescription-drug plan in 2003 I never heard a word about them being anti-militaristic and pro-gay marriage (not that there’s anything wrong with that)? Now that they oppose the president's Social Security Privatization
plan, the mud is slung.

The character assassination that Karl Rove is so quick to put into movement is so transparent and specious that I’m amazed at the great number of folks out there in Jesusland who really swallow it.

“We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is afraid of its people.”

—John F. Kennedy

Yet, in the current U.S. administration we have "town-hall" meetings which are orchestrated only slight less than a NASA launching.

Could the "patient" who survived the doctor-assisted suicide have sued for malpractice?

Friday, March 4, 2005 from Cohutta

The Karl Rove slime machine continues to vomit food for Bush’s base. Now the AARP is anti-military and pro-gay marriage (not that there’s anything wrong that). How did they miss the opportunity to justify attacking Iraq by claiming that Saddam was gay?

Maybe if we could edit the Ten Commandments we could reach some agreement about public displays. Here are some suggestions:

First Commandment: Throw it out. The government is incapable of determinining what a false anything is; twenty-dollar bills being an exception.

Second Commandment: Get rid of it. In this country we can have all the graven images that we want; they're called collectibles and posters of sports heroes.

Third Commandment: No to this one too. Even the FCC can’t stop people from saying Goddammit.

Fourth Commandment: It's gotta go. Nobody has to go to church unless they're running for public office..

Fifth Commandment: Come on! Have you seen some of the fathers and mothers out there?

Sixth Commandment: Murder, a no brainer for staying (unless, of course you're killing foreign or domestic enemies, doctors who perform abortions or homosexuals)

Seventh Commandment: No, it may not be right, but remember that the Republicans don’t want to be in the bedroom (unless it's yours or they’re actually committing adultery).

Eighth Commandment: Okay, this should stay; it’s a law, but sometimes public officials, religious leaders, government and big corporations are exempt.

Ninth Commandment: A keeper that needs to be tweaked. It’s called perjury or libel, but if you can get a spokesperson to spin it properly, it'll hard to identify it as false witness.

Tenth Commandment: Get real! Coveting is what keeps our economy going.

If Michael Jackson is convicted will all the poor black boys who grew up to be rich white women riot in the streets?

If Jesus came to Earth to die for the sins of the world, how can some Christians “blame” the Jews for killing him?
