After reading your latest post, I realize that your moniker is incomplete. You should be titled, "Confucius Always Say Wise Things."

Sweet Jesus, I am sick of bigotry. I spent an hour last night defending lesbians at another site. Of course, verbal feces was flung at me. And, as always, they assumed I was gay because I stood for gay people as people assume I'm trans when I stand for trans people and assume I'm a person of color when I stand for people of color. I stand for others because decency compels it, just as indecency is the drive train of the Republican Party. They flaunt their belief in Jesus, but torture in His name. They allege that they're protecting children by restricting marriage to certain citizens, but rather than pay for war and weapons, they borrow, thus indebting children. There is no Hell. It makes no sense, unless God is the Supreme Sicko.

Yet, somedays, I wish that there were a Hell.

Wanna hear what lesbians and gays who've lived with Palin have to say about her? Go to www.pamshouseblend.com and watch the video in the "What gays in Alaska really think about Sarah Palin" thread.

Very scary.

You're right about my unrighteous wish for Hell. It was fleeting, but that doesn't excuse it.

You know what I love about Brad Pitt? It's his face. His facial range is stunning. His acting range is also stunning. He's a character actor stuck in a leading man's body. I love how he plays the fool. Clooney does too.

Well, I've got to go and I'll be gone for a couple days. I have to perform at a resort. Tough life, eh?

People want my life and they say, "How do I get to do what you do?"

And I tell them stories of performing on the road, being unable to afford motel rooms, and sleeping in my car when it was 20 below and how I'd have to thaw my packed PB & J sandwiches before I could eat them. Then I'd finally reach the stage and there would be five people in the audience.

Then they say, "I think I'll stay in my comfy cubicle."

I once worked with abused children. So, the question I often fielded was, "Why did my daddy crawl into bed with me?"

Should I now be against allowing all fathers to be near their children?

I LOVE your post.

Blankenhorn reminds me of those Republican operatives who post at Salon.

Jeanette D., if you can be a conservative Republican, then I can be a Republican operative:

I love Sarah Palin. One day, I was leading some crashed orphans out of the Alaskan wilderness when some wolves attacked. Sweet Sarah Palin just happened to be flying overhead and she opened fire on those bloodthirsty wolves. Then the gays attacked! Sweet Sarah was out of shells, so she landed and started swinging her gun. She got 'em all, God bless her, reducing their faces to broken bones and blood. Oh, God bless America and God bless Sarah Palin and God bless me, me, me! I'd sing the Star Spangled Banner right now, but I've got to go torture some ragheads. For Jesus. Jesus loves torture. He told me so. He talks to me every night. It's strange, but Jesus's voice sounds just like me. Who'd have thought that Jesus would have such a girly voice?

Oh, I can objectify too.

It's his belly that takes my breath away. Literally. Lucky Angela.

Say, since we're chatting about protecting marriage, have you folks read the Rolling Stone piece about John McCain?

What.

a.

slut!

I just wish someone would ask, "So, McCain, how many times have you commited adultery?"

And, "Do you consider Cindy to be your wife even though Jesus asserted otherwise?"

As always, I propose that all divorced people be compelled to return to their original spouses. Let's keep those vows, people! For the children. Furthermore, all married people will be compelled, under threat of torture, to actually like, respect, and love their original spouses. No more Mr. and Mrs. Glum Britches in restaurants. So, actually, they'll have a choice of torture: pretending to love or waterboarding. I think many will pick the latter.

Those whose spouses are dead will have to marry their brother's widows' half-sons or their mother's aunt's nieces or whatever the Bible instructs.

I sure wouldn't want a virgin.

Moron.

And she was gleeful when she "corrected" Biden, who had said, "Drill, drill, drill," to "It's, 'Drill, baby, drill.'"

Moron cubed.

Why do Bush/Cheney voters, who are about to become McCain/Palin voters, hate America?

The real Jesus was the torture Prince of Peace. The Christianists should worship Mars, the God of War.

They're personally responsible for the crumbling of America, yet they blame Democrats.

Clinton.

Carter.

FDR.

Anyone and anything but their greed, their love of war and torture, and their hatred of the Constitution and regulation.

like Jumpstart.

I also see that this thread is blessed with America-loving citizens who see the sham that is Palin. As others have noted, folksy Bush has crippled America. We don't need folksier Palin.

I suspect these single posting "persons" are the First Dude or Palin's first cousin.
