I am still watching PBS -- am god-damned addicted to PBS! They're great. They are doing a program on Alaska.
My friend, Chapstick Boy, cannot stand Alaska. Perhaps it is because he does not care about its nature. I do.
It mentioned the folkore in Alaska that a little boy in a small tribe was harshly punished by the tribe members who saw him feeding a starving eagle. The small tribe was going through a period of famine.
Folklore has said that shortly, the eagle returned with plenty of food in salmons, sea lions and otters. And that the little boy became the most respected figure in the Alaska kingdom, animals and humans alike.
The message was: To survive in Alaska, one has to live in harmony with nature.
Well said!

To Caption Or Not To Caption
Here is the list of Super Bowl commercials that was captioned and not captioned.
I'm pulling the information off from captions.com and you can see the numbers where I am extremely disappointed with FOX-TV (What do I expect from Murdoch?) and stupid NFL folks!
It costs $2,400,000 for 30-sec commercial during the Super Bowl but only $250 each commercial.
And these hearing-owned corporations felt that the captioning was too expensive. Go figure.

House of Saud
I watched the documentary film on PBS which was excellent, balanced views of Saudi Arabia. It is called 'House of Saud'.
It covered everything from history, its royal family, its rapid growth with modernization and its conflicts with Islam. Basically, we have to recognize that Saudi Arabia is only 73 years old. When the nation was unified under the House of Saud, it does not have any technology. It does not have a car, air-conditioner, computer, warship, television or even a radio. They learned that Iraq and Kuwait has "great natural resources" and they believed that they do have it.
Sure enough, oil comes in the picture.
Can you imagine the nation that goes from nothing to have everything else, especially in a country that ruled by Islamic deeds? Very difficult thing to do. One Prince confessed that he sat by a new refrigerator for 16 hours, waiting to see an ice cube developing -- he smiled and said, "16 hours because I opened the door too frequently."
Little by little, it overwhelmed the masses to a point where some people preached the return to fundamentalism, to a point where the Saud members were denying that a problem was brewing between Islam and modernization.
It is called a growing pain which is very normal for any country. People in Saudi Arabia are starting to question on women's rights, their civil rights et al. That takes times to evolve -- after all, they changed a lot in 73 years, believe it or not.
They also questioned the educational system, the religious system and so on in order to improve itself. They also addressed about the fundamentalism. One Muslim cleric said that they are working on changing the system where hate is not encouraged against the Jews and X-ians but he also pointed out that the American textbooks are biased against the Muslims. That is true. We need to change that, too. WE cannot tell them to change while we cannot do the same for ourselves.
At first, the House of Saud denied that their people could be the active participants of Islamic fundamentalism to wreck the global cooperation. But now, they are taking it upfront with the problems.
At least, they are trying to reform over many things. After all, they changed a lot in 73 years. The United States changed in a gradual process over the period of 229 years, the Saudi Arabia did not have the luxury of that slow change. It has to change to keep up with the world. Give 'em time and space, they will change. But do not provoke them -- the Sauds will feel overwhelmed, threatened and alienated from the world. We must be supportive of them like Franklin Delano Roosevelt did to King Aziz.
One Prince, I believe it was the Minister of Interior Affairs, indicated that the corruptions are very common in Saudi Arabia but it is better than many countries. He has a point -- look at his country, less than $400 billion were used to transform from the third world country into one of the most powerful Arab countries in less than 50 years. The Prince said that about $50 billion out of $400 were corrupted and guess what he said next, "So what!" He is right.
Speaking of Roosevelt, when he met the first ruler of the House of Saud on a warship, the ruler of the House of Saud was mesmerized with Roosevelt's wheelchair to a point where Roosevelt donated his wheelchair to the ruler. That says a lot about the House of Saud's enthusiasm to learn and embrace the steps of modernization. Don't push it, don't force it, don't antagonize it.
Good job, PBS!

50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers
Thanks to Wojnar (!!) for providing the link to the article.
This is very interesting article.
I'm disappointed that I was not named as one of the 50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers, as Wojnar also mentioned that to me.
When I reached No. 1 on the list, I absolutely *agreed* with the pick.
Cheers,

What Gives?
Category: Sports
After opening up the season at 16-5; 5-2 in the ACC, Virginia Cavaliers seemed to be in a good shape until it blew 16-point lead in the second half and lost the game to North Carolina State.
Then they came back home to play No. 6 North Carolina. After leading as many as 12 points, the Cavaliers decided to stop playing and fell apart as UNC had two runs of 16-0 and 11-0 to beat Virginia, 75-56.
But this picture is cool.
Virginia Struggles
Better luck next time, I guess.

Why I Do Not Go To Weddings
I was reading DowntownLad's entry about how much should we contribute to my friends' wedding gifts? Since the country decided to turn blind eyes on my dreams to marry a guy, I decided *not* to attend any of my friends' weddings nor shed a cent on gifts.
That is until I have the significant other by my side -- I might visit few weddings but no promises. Generally, I do not like to go to weddings alone because it makes me miserable.
Travis Imel can vouch this because he was there when it happened. In Jacksonville, Illinois -- a blimp in the middle of state, really, where my frat brother, Chris Kuhn married Linda Sue Mehring. Suffice to say, I was invited and all that baloney stuff.
It was pretty ordinary Midwestern wedding, very simple and plain but yet so cute.
Later in the evening at some clubhouse, I was sitting when Chris Kuhn summoned all "available men" to get together for the traditional toss of the bride's garter belt.
I chose not to join because I am gay and not allowed to marry, according to the laws around me. I mean, what is the point of shoving and pushing men just to get a garter belt? Not my thing.
Bob Dramin was a college friend of mine who married and settled down in that watering hole where I will not be caught dead. Bob walked over to my table where Travis and I was yapping, Bob asked me to go ahead and join the group of men who are waiting for Chris to toss the garter belt.
I smirked and said, "I'm not interested, you know, I'm gay and I care less about that thing."
Bob was stunned, "You're gay? Are you serious? You like sports and stuff like that, and you're gay?"
I smiled as Travis said, "EVERYONE knew he is gay, for years."
Bob muttered, "I must be behind the news. You once told me that you had a roommate who was a wrestler, right?"
I nodded -- Bob was referring to Brent, a fella I knew from Georgia/Illinois -- cute, crazy and dumb guy, another story for another day, really! He and I talked few things about the sport, wrestling. It was all in good conversation. Then Bob mentioned about Charles Hammack. I told him that I heard of his name because Brent used to look up at him as a role model for wrestling -- Charles Hammack was one of few Deaf wrestlers to win the state championship. Later, Brent joined the small list of wrestlers who won the state championships.
Bob mentioned that Charles is here in the party. I thought it was interesting. Shortly, Bob introduced Charles to me -- I shook his hands and talked a little about this, that and there before Bob interrupted our conversation and told Charles, "You know, Ricky likes ..."
Bob pointed at Charles' groin. I was speechless. Charles was baffled then quickly told me that he is not gay and he is not interested. I was bewildered with Bob's cheap antics but lucky, Travis interfered and blasted Bob for his insensitivity and rude approach. Bob claimed that he was doing it as a joke. I told him that I did not find it funny.
Suffice to say, Charles and I had a lousy conversation from that point on -- it was all ruined. It was pretty much awkward and wary on Charles' part because of one stupid prick in Bob Dramin.
From there, driving back to Washington with Travis, I reached the decision that I will not attend any weddings for a long, long and long time. Because I do not want to deal with the hassles. It reminded me that I am not normal. It reminded me that I am not allowed to be myself. It reminded me that there are stupid pricks out there.
That was five years ago. And I did not regret at all. I absolutley have no interests in dealing with people's lives. If I have close friends, I might be interested but right now? No, no thanks. Not for a while. Ok?

Stuff To Mumble About
I watched Everybody Loves Raymond where Raymond berated his brother, Robert Barone for arresting a person who kept on using the gang signs to him.
When Robert requested the person to stop flashing his gang signs, the person ignored Robert. Robert then arrested him.
Raymond berated Robert, "But he was not using gang signs, was he?"
Robert mumbled, "Yeah, he was being deaf ... "
Then Robert signed, "Me so so sorry."
I was on my bed when I saw it and I quickly got up and stared at Robert's eloquent response. Good one.
* * *
Now on other hand, Jose Canseco, a former major league baseball player who had a rap of being in trouble with the law. Jose wrote a book about his issues with the steroids. He insisted that he personally injected steroids into Mark McGwire, and he saw McGwire and Giambi injecting each other with the steroids.
And what raised my eyebrows is that Jose claimed that GW Bush knew all about it because he was "there". GW Bush claimed that he was not aware of steroid use while he owned the Texas Rangers. C'mon, Coke snorter like GW Bush did not know that the MLB players injecting the steroids? Yeaaaaah, right! Like I believe GW Bush.

How many fag hags do I have?
Chlms of Phoenix, Arizona
Chlms once remarked that she can murder me and get away with it. My friends asked me whether if it was true or not, I nodded in agreement with Chlms. How terrifying, is it?
Beth Szywomanski of Cincinnati, Ohio
Who, in their right minds, would NOT want her as a fag hag? Beth can make Karen Walker like a nun, honest to God.
Carrie Gellibrand of San Jose, Calif.
Always fun to hang out with. Impossible not to have fun times with her. Ask her about the struggle for the right to pee in The Hole.
Rachel Pigott of Washington, DC
She once ambushed me in front of my parents and Mom cheered her on as I laughed incessantly out of my mind.
Erin Whitney of Ventura, Calif.
When I first met her, she seemed uninterested but if you get her going, there is no way for us to stop the wheels because we fed off each other on almost everything.
I have many more female friends across the nation -- in Washington, Boston, Albuquerque, Miami, Clearwater (Fl.) and some cities in Canada.
It is tough being gay, man. Such a hard life.

Second Thread
We are having an open thread about the Super Bowl.
Let's talk about the commercials, which one is the best? Mine was the black guy holding a tomato sauce-covered cat with a knife. It was awesome.
Did you noticed the majority of Super Bowl commercials do not have captions on it? That really disappointed me but what do you really, really expect from hearies? They always disregard us from day one then say, "Oops, sorry, here it is."
Talk about the sign of respect and dignity.
Talk about the game if you want to. I'm disappointed that the Eagles lost.
And I thought FSDB students with that singer was boring, lame and panting like a bunch of dogs.
Any opinions?

Super Bowl and Nanc
Two years ago, Nanc won $3,000 by predicting the exact score in Super Bowl.
She found out that she won the prize by checking the score in front of her Jeep Tracker's headlights and jumped around the intersection. It won't surprise me that some people in the neighborhood thought she snapped out of her mind at that time. Because her light in the Jeep was (still is!) broken, she had to check the scores by using her car's headlight.
Crazy gal but today is Super Bowl.
Which means I get to watch the advertisements. I always enjoyed the advertisements more than the game itself.
I am not fond of musical groups that happen to perform during the halftime or prior to the game -- honestly, who cares about it? Certainly not me.
Let the Super Bowl begins!
Go Eagles, scar Brady's pretty face!

Category: Sports
I enjoyed Virginia football, women's basketball, men's soccer, women's soccer, men's basketball and men's lacrosse. But these days, I kept an eye on the growth of Virginia Baseball team.
Last year, they completed the school's best at 44-15 record; 18-6 in the ACC under the first-year direction of Head Coach Brian O'Connor.
Head Coach Brian O'Connor is easily the most distracting Coach for me to watch. Know why? He is fucking hot. Too bad he's married. Good luck, O'Connor. You got a fan here in Manhattan.
Virginia women's basketball is now 16-6; 5-3 -- thanks to the loss to NC State after leading as many as 16 points. Up next is Tar Heels.
Confidential to Virginia Athletic Director Craig Littlepage, please fire Pete Gillen -- immediately.

I dont know how can you fuck dirty ass. God did not create this way for you to fuck dirty ass. If you wipe very well, you know the inside rectum still dirty. They have plenty bacterias like AIDS and etc... Yes, I am sure you wear the rubber (condom) but...unhealthy! Are you so dumb that you actually believe that Jesus loves faggots? Jesus hates your guts for being gay, and he isn't afraid to say so. Jesus isn't the only one who hates your perverted lifestyle. Your parents and your friends...who have been telling you that they understand your "alternative lifestyle"--hate you deep down as well. The Bible is where all truth lies. Anyone who knows God knows that anyone who believes in anything other than God and the Bible is sinful and wrong.
My name is Kevin Beachman! I am not going away. I am going to stay here and keep praying for all faggots to see the light and become hetersexual. I say, Mark Wood is a real gentleman than you. He helps many people, during you fuck dirty ass.

Anyone who knows God knows that anyone who believes in anything other than God and the Bible is sinful and wrong.
My name is Kevin Beachman! I am not going away. I am going to stay here and keep praying for all faggots to see the light and become hetersexual. I say, Mark Wood is a real gentleman than you. He helps many people, during you fuck dirty ass.

Just watched AVP (Aliens Vs. Predator) on DVD with Lenny. Drama, drama, drama! I am a sucker for one big, bad mama just like my mom. That big bad mama was so lethal. When the movie ended with everyone dead except for the black woman.
I told Lenny, who is black himself, that it is about fucking time that the only survivor is black as well! He roared with heavy fits of laughter and nodded with me in agreement.
Ahh, I'm very concerned about Delajoy's son, Logan -- he is going to be a studmuffin in the long run. Here is the evidence -- look at where Logan's right hand and nobody is complaining! Suddenly, I'm afraid for our mankind. Har har.
Good nite, guys. I'm off to watch some King of the Hill before slipping away from the rest of the world.
What a world ... what a cruel world ...

Please Do Not Lie
When I was a kid, I thought Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and the Return of Jedi were the greatest films that ever graced the big-screen movie theater ... until I heard of Academy Awards, really.
Or was that "Beaches"?
Who cares.
But let's go to a part which many of you will either deny or admit this:
Many teenagers wondered what it's like to have sex with ... Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Jabba the Hutt or even C-3PO!
Can you guess mine? Nope, you wish it was Jabba the Hutt. No, it is Trudy's, not mine. Don't confuse me with her.
Mine was the Stormtroopers.
You know Darth Vader's soldiers, the stormtroopers? That white-masked uniforms? I always wondered what these guys looked like (Never mind I found out in Episode II) but at that time, I always wondered what they looked like.
I guess it was much easier to kill 'em without remorse if we never see their faces.
When I was a teenager, I was horny. I'd imagine what it's like to do this, that and there. I always wondered what it's like to fuck a stormtrooper. Or even have him fuck me. Never mind the fact that I do not bottom ... well, I rarely do, though. But I always wonder if it'd blow my mind to see a white-unformed thing doing his business with me.
Like this.
Who's your Star Wars character that you fantasized in the past?

This is what the Conservatives, Xians and Republicans are afraid of ... that our "freedom" was denied for a long time. And that we demand it to be our right to marry anywhere in the United States. If you do not like it, turn your head around. Simply put. Don't rant it on me. It ain't your business but mine.

Fuck the Semper Fi!
To Conservatives & many Americans, it is outrageous if someone did this to us. But certainly not outrageous if we did this to them.
Both sides should be outrageous of their barbaric behavior, be it combat or non-combat situations.
I used to live near an army base in Virginia. I always rolled my eyes when I see the guys in green chasing, shouting or yelling at younger females walking around the local mall. I'm like, "Get a fucking life -- go and shoot a deer or something!"
With this article, this is the icing on the cake. I always suspected that these freaks are mentally retarded. As long as they are in the Armed Forces serving this country in particular, they are not diagnosed with mental illness at all. Just perfect type to be a killer -- a killing machine.
I often drove past the Marine Barracks on 8th Street SE and when I see the guys walking down the street -- I'd honk and yell gibberish stuff at them just to teach them a lesson. Why? If they treat women as meats, why can't I?

It Is Nice But Do You Mind?
When a person died on a corner of the intersection, or in the middle of the sidewalk ... it is always tragic. Then people brought flowers, dolls, notes and stuff to the particular area to memorialize.
Nice, but that is crossing the boundary. Hello, people lives around here, you do not.
I had a friend whose his parents owned the property which someone rode the 4-wheeler motorbike and got killed on their property -- they felt awkward seeing the dolls, flowers and notes on their property.
To take it off will make them furious -- but it is their property, their home -- go and memorialize him somewhere in the garbage dumpster, please.

Wow
Category: Sports
Wow. Some of my readers are not interested in sports, that is OK with me. But this footage is amazing for both sports fans and those that doesn't enjoy the game.
The length of the basketball court is 87 feet long. check it out! I had to view it three times to absorb the whole thing.
Virginia Cavaliers Women's Basketball is quietly winning a lot of games at 16-5; 5-2. If they managed to beat the Wolfpack in Raleigh and Tar Heels in Charlottesville -- we are in good shape for the NCAA party.
Philadelphia Eagles or New England Patriots for Super Bowl -- who are you rooting for?
As for me, I'm for Philadelphia Eages.

Intriguing, Is It?
I got paged by a friend of mine few days ago to bribe me the surprising tidbits. Then few days later, I got bombed with few emails talking about the same tidbits.
According to the sources, two well-known females at Gallaudet decided to get the breast implants. One even loaned $5,000 for the surgery. I personally thought one of these two women are gorgeous -- but are they that desperate to enlarge their boobs?
But I'm not against the idea of breast implants. It is going to be an eyesore for me to observe them around when I visit Washington.
If you're happy about it, go for it. Jiggle them back and forth!
And look at the bright side, Suiter and Rogers, in 300 years, when someone digs your coffins, they'll find four silicone bags sitting in your coffins along with your bones. That would be a good way to identify you both, though.

On A Light Note
On January 31, 2005 at 11:45 AM, I rode the subway train from northern part of Manhattan to 14 Street to transfer to L train in order to get to my workplace by 1:30 PM.
Finally, the subway train had few people on it. I sat on the bench, cruised the variety of people. I noticed that on my left side right across from where I sat was an Orthodox Jew reading his tiny Torah.
I noticed something interesting ... right next to the Orthodox Jew was a caucasian, young man with glasses reading the Holy Bible. Then the train stopped, people came out and came in. These two remained, I saw the woman whose head is covered as traditionally for Muslim women. She sat next to the guy who reads the Holy Bible, who sat next to the Orthodox Jew who was reading the Torah.
From 96 Street to 14 Street, nothing happened. These three are the prime example of what the world should be like that.
MIND YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS, that is what it is all about!

About the Iraqi Election
Again, again. I want to elaborate that I'm all for free elections in Iraq. I am happy for Iraqis.
It is utterly ridiculous to hear FagPatriot, McCock and Kurzetard to say that I'm against the idea of a free election. And that I should crawl back into wherever the sun does not shine. Please. Get. A. Clue.
First it was 72%. Second, it was 60%. Now, it is 57% for the turnout of voters. Which is why I said to be cautious and skeptical. It does not matter how much percentage it gets to have a free election because after all, it is the first time ever in more than fifty years, the people of Iraq gets to vote. By itself, it is a celebration.
Did Bush promote for the free elections? Initially, no. He did not. In fact, he resisted until Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani organized the protests and demanded the free elections. Check the Informed Comment for further lesson in recent history. In other words, Bush was forced to concede this to Ali Sistani.
If not for Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, Bush would push for Chalabi, now a figure of obscurity in Iraq.
It is interesting to note that some Iraqis claimed to be forced to vote in order to get the food rations. If that is the case, then the whole thing is simply a farce to start with.
Either way, as of this moment, I'm happy for Iraqis. I'm sure Lambykins and I agreed on one thing, the elections *must* occur. It simply must.
Of course, I am irritated with Conservatives, Republicans and X-ians' lies and bashes that we are against the free elections. And I continue to be skeptical and wary of Bush's Agenda, like it or not.

Somebody Give Me The Whiffle Bat!
Mark Lasswell has to be the most ignorant freelance writer. After reading this article, I am amused by what he wrote, but certainly can believe what Mark wrote. Why? Because he is a typical hearie.
Certainly, Mark reserved the right to write whatever he wants to do. Certainly, I reserve the right to derail him as well.
It is evident that Mark himself is hearie. It is evident that Mark did not associate or mingle with Deaf people at all. How can he, as a hearie, pass the decisions for Deaf people how to live their lives? To me, that is patronizing already.
Here is few few comments from Mark's article via Rayni's blog:
The passage is one of many in this book that demand to be read twice so that the full import is clear: A world in which children know the joys of music and birdsong -- and are safer for being able to hear a fire alarm or a car bearing down on them in the street -- is undesirable.
Say again?
The passage is one of many in this book that demand to be read twice so that the full import is clear: A world in which children know the joys of music and birdsong -- and are safer for being able to hear a fire alarm or a car bearing down on them in the street -- is undesirable.
Ahh, no need to repeat this. Very few Deaf persons got hit by cars, trains or died in fires. It is always hearing people. Our hearing loss somewhat resets our other senses to take care of ourselves, much better than the hearing people in general.
You can pick up any local newspapers and find out how many people got killed in these situations and guess what? Deaf people who died in these situation is very sporadic. Hearing people died more often than we do! And it is not matter of 'fair trade' at all.
The protests were only the most visible manifestation of a trend, which began, inevitably, in the 1960s, to establish the deaf as a minority community, with all the good and ill that such a designation entails.
To Mark, it is a trend. Why is it a trend?! When we were sufficiently educated about things in life, we wanted to live our own lives. We wanted to be in control of ourselves. We wanted to be part of our community's progress without anyone's interference. It was inevitable that we had to kick hearies off from the positions that affected our lives. It is more of empowerment and a sense of belonging, not a trend. And Mark, it is only beginning.
But the claims here that it is "equal to" spoken language are likely to be persuasive only to the already persuaded.
Swahili cannot be written but guess what? It is a language. If it can be done like that, why not ASL? ASL breeds a lot of customs and norms to a point where it crafted its own community. Just like Swahili did with its people.
No surprise, then, to find that the 19th-century movement to establish schools for deaf children -- laudable though it might have seemed to the children and their parents -- was actually a segregationist mission to build "an asylum where their bodies are managed and rendered powerless." (The book's preaching-to-the-choir tone includes a breezy mention of "Foucault" -- apparently the postmodern theorist is such a celebrity in this circle that he needs no introduction or first name.)
It is true. Prior to Gallaudet Protests, it was rare to have a Deaf person leading a deaf school, it was ideal for hearing people to control, manipulate, change and decide things for us in terms of education, social et al. When they realized that we learned our stuff, they tried to subjugate our rights. We simply protested to take over what is rightfully ours to decide and live. With Mark's tone, it is as if it is ridiculous theory -- an evidence that he does not live as a Deaf person. He is just a typical hearie, he simply does *not* know.
Certainly many medical advances raise ethical concerns. The case against cochlear implants for children would be a hard sell in almost any quarter, but the implications of mapping the human genome -- and the temptation it raises for meddling with human imperfection -- is one of the vital issues of our day. Ms. Padden and Mr. Humphries unfortunately have missed a chance to make a substantial contribution to a serious debate -- among the Deaf, the deaf and the hearing alike.
*snickers*
Actually, long time in the past, hearing people claimed that if we learn to bark with our voices, we'd stop use ASL and the Deaf Community will dissipate! Then they claimed that with hearing aids, we'll learn to bark with our voices and ASL/Deaf Community will disappear! And guess what? We are still here. Get used to it. Even with cochlear implants, we will be still here. These fad trends comes and go, but ASL and Deaf Community is here to stay for a long time!

I'm Not Naming Anyone, Really!
A certain close friend of mine confirmed that one of Desperate Housewives character is gay. He claimed that his good friend fucked the up-and-coming actor of Desperate Housewives.
I'm not going to identify anyone but in the first season of Desperate Housewives, this actor played a steamy role as a single, young man engaged love-making activities with married woman in ... how can I say this ... in every room of the house. Yeah, every room of the house, really! IN that show, he has no business of getting in that woman's legs while he was supposed to do his duties around the house, really.
Honest to God, when I first saw him. My gaydar beeped a lot. I had suspicions but thanks to a friend who alerted me that his friend "took care of his ass".
Now I am done.
See? I am not identifying anyone else, really! ;-)
Now, can you guess which one?

A Scandal At Virginia Military Institute
A new scandal emerged out of heavily conservative-backed school in Lexington, Virginia -- the home of Virginia Military Institute (VMI) as well as Washington and Lee University (WLU).
VMI touched bit closer to my heart, mainly because it is 30 miles south of my alma mater in Shenandoah Valley. VMI used to be male-only cadet school and its horny men often flocked to Staunton, seeking the availability of women at Mary Baldwin, the privately-owned college for women. Mary Baldwin is a stone throw from my alma mater and I kid you not. Before you scream that MBC is women-only school and VMI was forced to integrate and that was not fair -- well VMI was state-owned, MBC is not. That is mainly why the VMI had to let women in and I support that policy. VMI and The Citadel resisted until the Supreme Court forced them which they obliged with a grudge.
Kevin Akens' front porch has a view of the campus so at times, when I visit the Akens family, I'd bump in some VMI Cadets chasing after MBC women. A typical boorish conservative at its best when nobody is looking at them.
The Roanoke Times published an article that mentioned about my birthplace, Richmond's Indymedia.org having few pictures on its message boards that showed the Cadets at VMI dressing up for Halloween as drag queens, starving African (A caucasian painting their face black) and few Nazis running amok. Feel free to read the article but be sure to read its message board afterwards. I can vouch that it will shock you with the Roanoke readers' hostile attitudes towards gays and others. I love the comments, especially about "Uncle Dad".
Some people will say to lighten up. I disagreed. The Cadets probably will end up at Guantamano Bay or Abu Ghraib or any posts around the world -- their behavior at the Halloween Party implied that they have no respect for the Holocaust, the struggles of others' rights and the groups that were inflicted by natural disasters.
I am also in favor of the VMI Administration to let the student-run judicial board to discipline the Cadets. According to the military rules, to fuck a guy is unbecoming conduct, but to mock or making fun of groups is somewhat OK as long as nobody is looking at you.
Here are the pictures:
I also used to have a fling with a Cadet from VMI. Go figure. He was a gentleman, but again, come to think of this, he was not a gentleman, either. I cannot help it if these Cadets turn me on ... but that was not the point here.
In a world filled with ignorance, hate and volatile fear, the Cadets knew better than that to mock and ridicule the groups. But that is all the Conservatives are capable of -- mocking and ridiculing.

In a world filled with ignorance, hate and volatile fear, the Cadets knew better than that to mock and ridicule the groups. But that is all the Conservatives are capable of -- mocking and ridiculing.

Mike Piazza Is Now ... Mrs. Piazza!
You know the TV show, Will & Grace, where Karen Walker convinced Jack to marry her servant, Rosario to keep her in the United States. Jack obliged -- then at the wedding, where Jack had to stand next to Rosario. And when the Priest started to do the whole blah blah -- suddenly, Jack's gay friends snickered in the back of the chapel. Jack turned around and laughed with them and said in an effeminate tone, "Stop that! That is not funny!"
That was my first thought when it comes to Mike Piazza, the New York Mets Catcher -- one of the most popular and pretty boy on the team. He is now Mrs. Piazza, after marrying some Playboy Playmate last Saturday.
Few years ago, there was a rumor circulating in Manhattan that Mike Piazza fancied men. Mike, perhaps out of "gay panic syndrome", called a press conference to announce ... "I am heterosexual."
What?
He had to call a press conference to insist that he is heterosexual despite the fact that he has two homes that is very close to gay communities. That should be a clue enough, though.
Honest to God, any ordinary heterosexual men would say, "No, I'm straight." They would not use the term: "I am heterosexual."
And by the way, the pics of Mike Piazza's wedding ... is so gay.
Either way, congratulations, Mrs. Mike Piazza.

Idiocy Runs Rampant In Conservative Republicans
It is official. Conservative Republicans are *imitating Mrs. C* MENTALLY RETARDED!
Why? The Liberals never said that they are against the Iraqi elections. Even I am not AGAINST the Iraqi elections. The Iraqi elections MUST proceed at all costs, like it or not.
My beef is that GW Bush liberated Iraq for wrong reasons. First, weapons of mass destruction. Second, terrorism! Third, liberty and freedom! Fourth, what next? That is my beef.
And I feel that we were not prepared to deal with Iraq right after the Iraqi War because we attacked the country with NO plans for the post-War reconstruction.
In fact, I was for the War when it first started. But after seeing the Marine putting the United States flag on the statue of Saddam Hussein, I cringed! Even if Bush quickly had it pulled down and replaced with the Iraqi flag, but the first impression is there!
Then there were lootings where the Marines did nothing but watch people ripping the museum that contains the artifacts dated back to the Mesopotamia. How can the Marines allow that? Of course, they are retarded. They did not realize that the priceless artifacts cannot be replaced at all.
In the first six weeks, there were chaos in Iraq that largely made me realize that the Bush Administration was not prepared to handle the reconstruction. The lack of respect for its citizens were noted with the Abu Ghraib scandal and many abuses that occured in Iraq drove some people to sign up for the Insurgents.
If we had a plan -- where we can enact things with dignity and respect for their country -- the insurgents would not happen at all. But we did not pave the path with dignity.
The result is 1,400 Americans are rotting beneath the cold soil. That is the reason why I rail against Bush and his cronies because he did not have a plan right after the reconstruction.
Spewing liberty, freedom, terrorism and patriotism are not going to cut some slacks!
Terrorism will *not* be extinguished! It will show up sporadically over the years, like it or not!
Seeing FagPatriot saying that it is a huge defeat for Democrats and Terrorists. Please don't be delusional, FagPatriot. I think a sensible Democrat would have a better plan for the post-war happenstances than Bush and his cronies.
I'm ALL for Iraqis to have an election. But do not attempt to label Liberals or Democrats as the group against their election.
It is interesting to note that we are fighting for Iraqis' freedom and liberty whereas in this VERY country, Bush is fighting hard to deny me of my freedom and liberty to live my own life.
Not only that, Conservatives think SpongeBob is gay. Says a lot about their intelligence.

Gossip Breeds Reaction
Last night in East Village, Eddie and I arranged to meet at The Cock. It is my first time to be at The Cock in weeks and I hadn't seen Eddie in months. So we had a lengthy conversation to catch up.
You know, typical deaf gossips and all that.
Eddie is about 6'1 tall and very thin like a pencil. When the bar closed at 4 AM, we chatted on the way to the subway station. Eddie pleaded, "Since you went to DC last October, tell me what's happening in DC??"
I yapped on few superficial things to mention -- then I said, "You know Rico?"
Eddie nodded, "That guy from The Netherlands?"
I nodded, "He has a new boyfriend."
Eddie snickered as we walked across the street, "Who?"
I grinned, "Are you sure you want to know?" Eddie slapped my back so hard that I leaped ahead of him and said, "Ben Lewis."
Still in the middle of the intersection, Eddie lost his balance and crashed on the road. Then got up quickly -- "Are you fucking serious?"
"Yes."
Eddie roared with laughter.
I love this stuff -- people's reactions to things. It is hilarious. It is addictive.

A Point of View by Gay Iraqi
Thanks to Toby of Ramblings On The Matter, I got to read a different perspective of Iraqi Election ... this time, from a nobody who lives in Downtown Baghdad. A gay Iraqi, that is.
Anyone mind telling me why the electricity is *still* going through the blackouts?
*sarcasm mode on*
As long as it protects our freedom, the electric blackouts shall happen all the time.
*sarcasm mode off*
Barf.

Ann Coulter Is One Ugly Bitch
Remember I told you a while ago that I have her book. After reading the first 16 pages, I could not continue.
She made me sick with her ignorance, hate and misinformation -- but again, you know what they say about dumb blondes.
Nothing you can do to cure a dumb blonde. The book is heading into a trash can. Ann, someone should whack you down and branded you with the hot iron on your forehead "I AM DUMB BLONDE!"

It Is That Time Of The Year
Category: Sports
In Morganton, North Carolina: the North Carolina School for the Deaf (NCSD) hosted the 53rd Mason-Dixon Tournament for Boys Basketball. Virginia exceeded what I did not expect as they opened with a 50-point loss to Tennessee in the first round, 78-28. This sent the undermanned Virginia team to the losers' bracket and played against Eastern North Carolina.
Virginia shocked Eastern North Carolina with a 67-66 overtime upset and advanced to play against Florida for a chance to play for 5th-6th Place out of 11-team tournament. Virginia lost, 43-29.
As always, Mississippi marched straight to the Championship Game but the surprising team of the year should be South Carolina, though.
In Knoxville, Tennessee: Tennessee School for the Deaf (TSD) -- where my cousin's daughter, Tori is attending along with my buddy who works there -- David Spillers. TSD is hosting the 28th Annual Mason-Dixon Tournament for Girls Basketball.
Virginia Cardinals, thanks to Kim Fuller's disappearance, did not do well in the first round as they got clobbered by Georgia, 63-22 and was sent to the Losers Bracket. They squared off against the Eastern North Carolina and won, 34-18 to advance against North Carolina.
This morning, they shocked North Carolina, 35-34 to advance to the 5th-6th Place. The game will be played at 3:30 PM.
This marked the first time that Virginia gets to be in the Top Six since 1987, I believe. Good job, Yesi Andersen.

Be Wary of Ricky Vandal
I was alarmed to learn that a person by the name of Ricky Vandal, originally from The Netherlands, is starting a trend that might confuse the Blog readers.
According to the sources, he is a frequent member of The Free Republic, a conservative forum that spews plenty of homophobic comments. In other words, Ricky is conservative, Republican and homophobic to start with.
Apparently, Ricky Vandal created several blogs, impersonating different persons' names including Bill Clinton -- in other words, a fucking Conservative Republican is impersonating as a Democrat trying to turn off the Democrats with its false messages and hopefully, will drive them to be a Conservative Republican in the end.
Ricky Vandal is one pitiful character. But again, I'm appalled that none of conservatives wanted to touch it -- as if it never existed. It is one of their Characteristic traits -- if one of them fucked it up, they reject this person and claim that "he is not conservative, he is someone's group!" then acted as if this particular person never existed.
But that is not the point here. My point is to warn the readers to be wary of people like Ricky Vandal who is Conservative Republican who has nothing better than to attack the Democrats or Liberals for doing what they believed in.
It is ironic that the Conservatives and Republicans claimed that they are all for personal beliefs -- but it is just the words. It is not done by actions -- all they did was bash, twist the lies and used its manipulation skills to fool the masses. It is unbelievable to observe.
Care to defend yourself, my dear conservative ND30? No?

Wojnar Should Check His Penis Out
I stumbled upon an article. And I joked with a friend about this -- maybe Wojnar should check his penis out to make sure that he's OK.
Actually, I find it very somewhat discomforting. There are guys that I cannot spring a boner -- I mean, he's not attractive. I just can't do it. Does that means I'm one of 'em?
I dunno. But this is interesting and amusing -- perhaps, enough for DowntownLad and DefBef to respond to the allegations? ;-)
Have a great evening -- I'm going to host an one-night debauchery here in my palace. Yum! Yum!

This Is Ridiculous
Is it me or that College Republicans, Conservatives and X-ians are getting lame or what?
C'mere. C'mon. Come here. Why did we have Gay Pride Week, Parade, March and/or Festival? It is because we are a minority. Less than 10% of the society are GLBTIWSDCVDSDFWEXCFLKSDFJSDFKSH. Ok, maybe 15%. But it is to be publicly acknowledged that we exist. That there are still struggles to overcome.
As for straight guys and gals who does not face a struggle when it comes to your feelings for the opposite sex, not at all. Why do you feel so threatened by us to a point where the College Republicans decided to host the Straight Pride Week?
Check Pam's blog for pictures.
The College Republicans in UNT also organized the event called, "Seize the Illegal Immigrant Day". First this, and now "Straight Pride Week"?
Honest to God, you straight men lacked the creativity. You had to look at us in order to elevate your egotistic pride.
My little flea-minded Republicans, Conservatives and X-ians: Grow up.

Ridiculous Message
I had a break at work today. Watched the tube in the Community Room. MONTEL was on. Before I could change the channel, I saw the word: deaf popping up on the screen.
Of course, I had to step back and look a little.
It was a show about "What A Miracle!"
Sheesh.
There was a white wife who told Montel that her husband who has been "hearing impaired" and had been searching for a job in the last 12 years. Then one day, he got a massage from his wife. Then he fainted in the bathroom. His head clunked on the sink, bathtub, toilet bowl or the floor.
Voila! He can hear. What a drama! The husband nodded and sobbed. And said that he finally got the help he needed to get a job, for the first time in 12 years. There were loud applause in the background.
Montel said, "He is not disabled. He is able-bodied now!"
Again, a loud applause. I rolled my eyes, muttered to myself: "I love this. I'll tell my co-workers."
I grinned and walked back to the office, told it to my co-workers who are also Deaf. Their initial reaction was: Are you serious?
I nodded. Samuel shook his head and smiled, "So I guess it is safe to say that the message for millions of hearing mothers who saw that to drop their deaf babies on the floor in hoping to make them hear again, eh?"
I smiled and nodded.
Well said, Samuel.
