So you want a topical blog do ya?

The hilarity of Jeff Gannan aka John Guckert’s story has reached a new high today. While I don’t really blog much about political fallouts etc, I can’t help myself. I’ve followed this story for some time and I’m just amazed at the balls of this man.

So get this, he relaunches his domain as a blog defending himself. He comes across as if it’s all made up lies! He gets caught red-handed (well not exactly his hand) and has the unmitigated gall to make out like it’s a fabrication by the liberals. Well, lets see, if you hadn’t left behind a whole slew of online profiles detailing your ‘extra income’ exploits maybe your story would be a little more convincing there Jeff. But who cares about the details right?

The guys over at Ameriblog did a much better job at calling him on his lies than I ever could have. [1]They do a step by step rebuttal of Jeff’s fictional blog accounting. A must read!

What really cracks me up is how many Republicans have come to his aid. Ann Coulter, the republican’s lap dog, published her own response to the scandal. It’s amazing how the Republicans all jumped on the bandwagon during the Clinton/Lewenski scandal but now it’s just the “liberal frenzy” trying to tear someone down.

Here’s a clue. The liberals aren’t tearing him down because he is gay, they are tearing him down because he lied, and supports people who would relegate gays to less than human status if the could.

BLECH!

So, the chest cold I’ve been trying to fight off has won. I am in the full throes of it today. Coughing up a lovely blechly looking goo. How’s that for an image?

I called the doc and he says its a viral thing going around so not much I can do but wait it out. He did recommend some over-the-counter stuff. The odd part is I’m not really coughing a lot. But when I do, it’s the horrible deep painful cough from deep within. Christ almighty! I detest being sick. I don’t have any fevers yet and otherwise I’m mobile.

I’m dragging my carcass down to the castro to have a big bowl of soup.

OH! and a big thank you to everyone for the kind comments and emails about my dad. I’ve worked thru most of my feelings w/him and I just hate knowing he is suffering. Without sounding morbid, I’m hoping he passes soon as no one should ever suffer like that.

A Moment In History

Today marks the death of my mother. She passed away from lung cancer Feb. 23rd, 1978.

While I no longer get worked up about it, I still try to remember her. She died when I was only 7 years old. I remember the year I turned 15 thinking how unfair it was that I’d been alive longer w/o her than w/her. I took it really hard that year. The only source of comfort was my first love who tried his best to ease my pain.

It’s funny, I seemed to suffer more that year than I had at her passing. I’m sure it is related to my becoming an adult but it hurt a lot.

So, today is in remembrance of you mom. If you’re still up there don’t judge me too harshly, I’m doing the best I can.

Blasphemy

Well you wanted a “topical” blog and you got one! Swiped from Carmen today, I discover this tidbit about our not so beloved Pope. Apparently, his royal crabbiness has released a new book relegating being gay to being insidious evil. Huh, so not only are we sinners but we are insidiously evil now. When will it end!?

“…- Homosexual marriages are part of “a new ideology of evil” that is insidiously threatening society…”

I agree w/Carmen on this one. A man such as the holiness knows the “translations” of today’s bible incorrectly persecute whole sections of society, gays included. Not only that, he perpetuates the lies in attempt to continue the church’s control over our society. Ergo keeping the church in business. (I’m not sure if that is the proper use of ‘ergo” but it sounded good so I used it.)

Blog This

I feeling crappy today. I had a sore throat last night and woke up several times last night coughing. I seem to be better today but my energy level has tanked. That said, I did manage to drag my lazy carcass to the gym. I haven’t been in over a week and OY! did it feel good to work out. Course, I’m sure that’s why my energy levels are low now. Probably should have waited one more day but I hate getting into that rut of thinking “oh, I’ll go tomorrow”.

Being in a bitchy mood brings me to today’s rant. I got an anonymous email a while back that I had forgotten about until blogrolling today. The person gave me praise for my insights and then went on to criticize me for not blogging about things that were important to me. I’m like WTF? I do blog about the things important to me. When a story strikes my fancy or hits close to home, I’m sure to bring it into the fold but I don’t feel a responsibility to blog every scandal to death. There are plenty of other bloggers out there beating the blogosphere for me. I read some of the often.

I couldn’t care one wit about the hypocrite in the White House. I’ve known from the very beginning they were a lying bunch of skanks. This latest scandal comes as no real surprise to me. Further, I don’t feel the need to say “shame on you” to Mr. Gannan or Guckert or whatever the frell his name is.

Blogger Convention

Ok, its not a convention, I just couldn’t think of a catchier title. So, I met Bratt tonight. We setup plans for cocktails and dinner. *He snapped a picture so pics forthcoming* He brought his friend Karen, known on his blog as ‘The Republican’. I liked her immediately, her polical status not withstanding.

I’m writing this w/o peeking at his blog to see what he wrote about me. He brought his laptop so I know he’ll probably post something. My first impression of Brat was almost as expected. He is a bit taller though. I guess we always assume everyone is our own height. Otherwise, I found him to be a bright, kind, sensative, funny, and sweet fellow. There were no awkward silences over dinner and the conversation flowed easily between the three of us. A very good dinner I might add.

**btw Brat, as stated I’m not a heavy drinker. After getting home, I felt tuckered out and decided to skipp the evening festivities….did you feel like Kate ‘fucking’ Blanchette as expected?**

So score one for blog meetings this one was a success. We are supposed to get together for lunch tomorrow before he flies off to ChiTwon again. That is, if he gets up at a decent time. *giggle*

Midnight Madness

Ok, so take a gander at the time of my post. Yes, you read it right. I am just dragging my carcass home from my late night shenanigans. Its good to be home! I can’t believe I stayed out till freaking 5:00am in the morning! God, I haven’t done that since college. It was worth it though. I was a shameless flirt and loved it.

Well, I’m home to sleep the day away. Hope everyone is starting off their weekend w/a bang.
