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.

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.
