HAHA OH BROTHER

just now the phone rang. it was a person from the obama campaign with a minnesota type accent. she started her pitch which i kept interrupting by saying, "how can i help you?" i was told we're starting the next phase of the campaign and were asking for $100.00 donation. i lied to her like i do to all telemarketers. i told her i was unemployed but she just kept on with her talking points. so i told her again: "i'm unemployed..i'm out of work, and don't have $100." she hung up on me without even saying thank you. haha

GAY LIBERATION DAY PARADE 1970

turbulent times in america coupled with cutting edge activism we celebrated the first anniversary of the stonewall riots when we marched from christopher and waverly up to central park. our friends who didnt march with us stayed inside their apartments and homes. many of the participants wore(still do) wear sunglasses for fear of being outed and other concerns(like your mother might see you or people from work) because back then many could be fired for being a homosexual. not in isolation, there were the acid takers, draft card burners and other activists. it became a gay pride event in the late 70's and then an excuse for t-shirt vendors and what it's become today. after marching in the first 3 parades it got a little boring. tonight i'll skip the local extravaganza and be thankful to all the ancestors who have come before me to advance the cause of liberty and justice equal under law.

NOW HE'LL FINALLY SHUT THE FCUK UP!

(thanks to my cousin andrea, president of french connection USA, for allowing me to borrow a brand tm for 5 minutes.)

well, well bye-bye tim russert. when i prayed for you to shut-up it wasn't intended permanently. what happened to you happens everyday. you are not royalty, although to many washington insiders you certainly are. you combined pain killers with pork fat for a prescription for the silent killer. perhaps if your wife didn't write such trashy things about people you would have lived a little longer. the truth is, your selfishness, grandiosity and the pro-war koolaid you consumed served by judy miller and louis libby contributed to your mortality.

enjoy hell because that's where you are.

TONIGHT, TONIGHT
