Do you ever get tired of these names sometimes?
I do.
It has nothing to do with me or my fraternity. But after reading this article, I cannot blame Dr. Gallop's annoyances with the mentality wall between two groups and the rest of student body.
Keith and I once sat in the foyer outside of Rathskellars and observed a freshman trying to make a conversation with Luke Ocuto who was very hostile and/or decidedly bored with this freshman BEFORE he even introduced himself to Luke. Keith and I cracked many jokes on that scenario incessantly all night long. But the point of that happenstance was tragic by itself -- that does NOT have to happen like that. But it does all the time at Gallaudet.
Sometimes it bothered me, sometimes it does not.
Not all KG brothers and PKZ sisters are like that, but the reality is that very few ones reached outside of its cliques, that is the truth. Today, I am still friends with one PKZ -- Rayni -- who else?
KG? Very few ones, why? I do not know why. But that does not matter to me, though.
It is evident that Dr. Gallop used the pseudonym name to avoid the wrath of Kappa Gamma and Phi Kappa Zeta -- it is obviously that s/he does not want to be humiliated or blacklisted on their lists. Dr. Gallop has the right to express her/his frustrations with the mentality wall between the two groups and the rest of student body.
With this article, perhaps, people will realize that maybe it is time to disband all fraternities & sororities -- I would not want that, though. Maybe THEY should go back to the secret societies like they used to be before they decided to go for greek? I really do not know.
You know, out of frustrations, we even have the obscene signs for Kappa Gamma and Phi Kappa Zeta. As you can see this -- this bore out of a frustration between these groups and the rest of student body. No, it is not the case of jealousy as many would wanted it to be, though.
At least, I used my real name but this article was well-thought article, well written by Dr. Gallop.
Oh, by the way, on 8th paragraph which it described a tall, a classy dresser with brown curly hair -- that has to be Dina Raevsky with Raylene Lotz.

The Frat, Bizarre Incident(s), Dominic and Brendan Stern
I used to read "The Frat", a publication owned by the National Fraternal Society for the Deaf (NFSD) and I thrive on its chapters' reports. Many of them would start off with: "We report to you ..."
I always thought it was funny way to share the gossips, really. They often identified the names who died, who were sick, who celebrated their 50th year of marriage, who divorced and yes, went on vacation. They often said, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith motored to Orlando for a week-long vacation, please ask them if they enjoy their vacation."
Honest, it is cute but guess what? I do not give a fuck about asking them how they enjoyed their vacation or not!
Speaking of bizarre things to report, yesterday in the afternoon, I turned the lights off in the living room and hung out in my bedroom. Suddenly, I saw the lights turn on in the living room. Apparently, someone else is home. I walked back in the living room. Nobody else is there. The light switch on the wall indicated that someone pushed up. Later in the evening, it happened again. I distinctly turned the light switch down and this time, it is up. Nobody is home except for me. Do we have a company here on this ancient island? Perhaps so.
It appeared that we have a neighbor upstairs who also sported the same brand of coat I owned. We met in the hallway, we laughed. He introduced himself, his name is Dominic. He's cute. If he visits, I'll be sure to drop my pants for him the next time around. Either way, he asked me where I purchased my coat, I told him I bought it in Pentagon City, Virginia. He said he bought it in Albany, New York.
I just read a great article by Brendan Stern. Normally, Brendan Stern does not bother me as a person. He is bit mean for my taste, I guess. I think his sisters, Louise and Shoshana are interesting persons to loiter with. Especially with Shoshana. I had some fun times with Shoshana, she's smart woman with a wicked mouth but yet so funny to watch her deflating a guy's ego in a milisecond.
Anyway, Brendan wrote the article on Buck Naked Bison which I cannot help but grin all 'til the end. It was funny one, especially the ones where a hearing Australian told them that it's rude to sign in public and Bren's response was very classic but yet so appropriate. Thanks, Bren.

First James Buchanan, Second Abraham Lincoln ...
You know, someone mentioned that 1 out of 10 men is gay.
Come to think of this -- we already have 45 presidents so far (correct me with the numbers but I know it's over 40), that means there has to be 4 Presidents that probably liked to have a dick up their asses.
1. James Buchanan, the only President that is bachelor until he died.
2. Abraham Lincoln, there are letters that indicated Lincoln's thighs are the best "femoral intercourse".
Now that leaves two more.
I'd vouch for George Washington to be gay. He married Martha Custis, and had several step-children. Step-children! You know, they say that if you look at GW's life, he always hang out with men. He went to the Revolutionary War with his men. He went on the expeditions with his men. If you look at his portraits, he is always surrounded by men. That raises a red flag, does it? And the way he walked on these portraits, only gay men can walk like that.
That takes care of George Washington. Who's the fourth one?
Someone said that it is GW Bush.
What? Thanks to Toby of Ramblings On The Matter, I was entertained with this article. Enjoy it while you can before someone takes it off in the name of liberty and freedom!
One question: Why did GW Bush makes 8 unscheduled and unannounced trips to Knoxville to visit Victor Ashe, who was the Mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee? Victor Ashe is "openly gay" and was a roommate and cheerleader along with GW Bush (!). To quiet the media, GW Bush sent Victor Ashe to be the Ambassador of Poland but that does not stop him from sending Victor candies and flowers to Victor, according to Poland newspapers.
Cheers,

Whatever Happened to CNN's Crossfire?
Sometimes you would see two guys (one young, one older) arguing on CNN's Crossfire. I cannot stand Tucker Carlson most of all. He turned me off with many accusations and always attacked anything that is good with negativity.
When CNN brought Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson on the Crossfire, I immediately changed the channel. I do not want to see the captions popping out of Carlson's mouth. Folks, some of you may be shocked that I try to be optimistic on various things. I certainly try to be.
Ok, ok, you guys can stop laugh. I know it is hysterical. I'm waiting until you guys stop laugh.
Are you done with this? Ok, thank you! I know both parties argued over many things, but to attack an individual's integrity just because s/he accomplished something that you did not accomplish, that is pretty cheap shot.
When Tucker said he will eat his shoe if Hillary Clinton managed to sell more than a million non-fiction book. Hillary aced the feat with no problem and even brought a cake that looks like a shoe to Tucker. Hilary was so nice not to bring a real shoe! Whose integrity did it looks good on? Of course, Hilary.
For years, I cannot stand these two fools fighting on that show.
Until Jon Stewart, my idol because he puts the humor in everything else be it politics, life and current events, came on the show and chided Tucker Carlson on their show. Suffice to say, Jon Stewart was right when he said that their show served no purpose but to foster a hostile attitude between different groups, especially with liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats and so on.
In few weeks, Jon Stewart killed CNN's Crossfire, I love Jon Sterwart.
Hallelujah and good riddance to Tucker Carlson.
I was reading an article on newyorkmetro.com by Kurt Andersen which a friend gave me the link to check out. I noted the paragraph which it mentioned about the struggles of liberals and conservatives, maybe one day, we'll find a solution to work together -- like this paragraph.
And it was the same sort of brain-dead back-and-forth that led Jon Stewart to tell Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson, live on CNN’s Crossfire last fall, that their entirely predictable pseudo-debates amounted to nothing but useless “partisan hackery.” In that instance, the new president of CNN promptly said he agreed and canceled the show. Is it too much to hope that the end of Crossfire could mark the beginning of the end of the age of Ann Coulter and Michael Moore? Probably.
I certainly hope so.

About Mayor Bloomberg
A New York friend of mine told me that Mayor Bloomberg used to be a Democrat. The main reason why Mayor Bloomberg switched to the Republican party is because this city is overwhelmingly Democrat. There were three Democrats running in Democrat primary, no one for Republican primary.
The easiest path is to bypass the Democrat's primary is to sign up for Republican primary and go head-to-head with Democrats.
Voila! We have Mayor Bloomberg on board. He is only RINO.
As in Republican In Name Only.
Which is why many New Yorkers can tolerate Republican like Mayor Bloomberg. According to many, Rudy Giuliani would be NOTHING if not for 9/11 fiasco. It is likely that Rudy would be remembered for siding with the racists who shoved the broom in Jamaican's ass, shot Hasidic Jew who wields the hammer (which many witnesses said he didn't do but NYPD said) et al. But lucky for Rudy, 9/11 fiasco saved his face and put his name on the world map.
Oh, well.

Blah, blah and blah.
4,500 for Boxer: When Senator Barbara Boxer decided to speak out about the election during the Congressional session, lots of Republicans and conservatives whined, cried and attacked her integrity but she was formidable. She was impervious to the cheap tactics that the Republicans and Conservatives attempted to bash on her.
Last Monday, her office was floored with 4,500 roses from her constituents who thanked her for making a stand on the volatile election. See? I rest my case.
Don't Forget to Bitch! You want to bitch at someone else in the Deaf Community? Or at hearing guy who gave you the ugly look at a bar? Or little things that annoys you? E-mail me and I'll remove your name, email address but comments. Then I'll draft an entry reserved for you guys to bitch at each other without letting each other know who said it all in the first place.
Food For Your Own Thoughts There are few things that I like about Republicans (i.e. less interference by the government and fiscal responsibility, that's all) and there are many things I like about Democrats. Merge into a new party called "Repubocrat"? Perhaps there will be a day ...
Liberate Iraqis, But What About Us? Why do we worry about Iraqis' freedom and liberty if we, gays and lesbians, are being denied of our rights as a citizen of this country? It is mind-boggling to read stupid commentaries from people who claimed that we are truly free. In fact, we are not exactly free in our country. Go figure.
Kurzetard Is Obviously Brain-Damaged Thanks to carbon monoxide poisoning, she seems to be senile in her own right. Which is a blessing in disguise. Her repeated rants and biased of Islam reminded me of one stupid deaf woman in North Carolina who is studying to be a pastor. She wrote in The Bugler that Islam is evil, according to her studies with the Holy Bible. She kept on repeating, "I am telling the truth because the Bible is the truth!"
Well, this stupid woman probably did not realize that the Koran and the Torah probably said the same thing ... that they are telling the truth that others are evil.
These beliefs in hocus pocus are merely delaying the civilization from reaching its full potential to craft our paths, really. Perhaps in time, the old beliefs shall be forgotten and we can move ahead. But it will take a long time -- just take a look at Kurzetard spewing its hate to her two kids -- then her two kids will spew more hate to their offsprings. Perhaps it's time for a castration, really. Umm ... just a thought, really.
Speaking of Kurzetard I got an email asking me to check the blog of AntiAmyKurz, I was amused. I have nothing to do with it but it was so funny. Have fun finding it somewhere on my blog.
Cheers,

C'mon, Stop Injecting Your Opinions Into Agencies
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) told the GLBT Suicide Prevention Conference to remove "gay", "lesbian", "bisexual" and "transgender" from the materials or the SAMHSA will not support the conference.
Someone leaked to The Washington Post and SAMHSA was floored with complaints. One spokesman at SAMHSA said, "It was only a suggestion."
I believe it was supposed to be a belief amongst the Republican party that they do want less interference on organizations/businesses/life from the governments. But yet, the Repubicans (Yes, the Bush Administration appointed the Republicans to many departments) still interfered and "suggested" (actually, they often implicated that by suggesting, it is done with a threat of taking funds if they do not comply) them to alter the materials.
Enough is enough.
UPDATE: The SAMHSA Spokesman implied that it was only a suggestion and that the organizations should consider the funding source. That was a threat.
And not only that, the SAMHSA wanted the conference to add the faith-based crap on the list! It is getting silly each day to hear stuff like this out of these administrations. Do you truly think this faith-based will help "G", "L", "B" and "T" at all? Offering them with Ex-Gay Ministries? Exodus International? Please.
