Another Reason To Bash Conservatives, Republicans & Xians

Few tidbits today:

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Republican-Texas) is Conservative pig who attempted to pressure the Congress to do something to keep Terri Schiavo alive. Now the reports are coming out that there may be ethics violations by DeLay. He was already admonished by the House Ethics Committee three times in the past. Apparently, the House Ethics Committee is too weak to do a thing about DeLay.

Another Senator Rick Santorum (Republican-Pennsylvania) who is Conservative and Christian, he urged DeLay to come forward and be clean with the press about his ethics. Well, a new report is coming out that Rick Santorum used Terri Schiavo's struggles to raise $250,000 for his future campaigns. He used the politics associated with Terri Schiavo to enrich himself in the process.

Well, when Senator Santorum did this, he did the exact thing that the GOP Memo which the staff of Senator Mel Martinez (Republican-Florida) urged the Republicans and Conservatives to use Terri Schiavo as a political wedge against the Democrats which was exposed to the press. Senator Mel Martinez quietly fired his staffer who wrote the Terri Schiavo Memo.

In Columbus, Ohio -- the Red State -- a disabled girl was punched and sexually assaulted by high school boys in high school auditorium as dozens of students WATCHED!

In New York, remember the GOP Convention which Mayor Bloomberg proudly boasted that they arrested 1,607 protesters last August? Well, 91% of the charges were dismissed with some stern words for the NYPD's unprofessionalism.

In Las Vegas, the FBI used the Patriot Act to stop lapdancing. Think about this -- did the Patriot Act helps us to catch the Al Qaeda terrorists or thwart the plots? In fact, the answer is *zero*.

In Rohnert Park, Calif: Tim Beuler is the president of "Conservative Club" at Rancho Cotate High School and he organized the anti-gay protest about the Day of Silence -- the whole purpose of the Day of Silence is to raise the awareness that bullying towards anyone else (be it gay or not) is inappropriate. These ridiculous retards decided to set up its own Day of Truth to encourage the bullying and bashings. Fine with me. AT least, it makes them look bad. Too bad, Tim Beuler is cute homophobic to start with. No, make it an ignorant bigot.

And last, this Xian nut thinks women should not have the right to *vote*.

See? All the more reasons to bash them.

Brown Bags vs. Plastic Bags

When I was a kid, I remember going to Safeway and A&P grocery store in Hopewell, Mom would order me and my siblings to carry the brown bags filled with groceries to our station wagon. God, it was such a struggle to keep the brown bag from tearing itself out.

Today, the plastic bags replaced the brown bags. You do not see much of brown bags anywhere else in New York unless for delis or so. And during the winter season, the trees became naked without these leaves, especially in New York.

What really annoyed me the most is seeing many plastic bags trapped in these trees. It is hideous. It made me wish that we go back to the brown bags so that we can have some trees without the plastic bags all over the limbs. Ugh.

Any opinion on seeing the plastic bags trapped itself in the limbs of trees?

Update With The Date -- Sort Of.

Took the subway and bus to Upper East Side to meet a gentleman that I became friends with. When I arrived at his apartment building, I was bit set back by the fact that it is luxury apartment. He lives on 34th floor with the stunning view of Midtown. Truly breathtaking.

Apparently, this person has friends in high places. We chatted about a lot of things and he cooked the dinner for both of us. Very delicious. He was very cordial, sweet and average guy.

I joked that I'd love to have an apartment like this. He said that he could check with his friends about it. I was bit flabbergasted and said that he does not have to. He smiled and shrugged me off.

We talked about this, that and there. He said he will check with his friends about getting me a job with better pay. That is one shitty thing about New York -- you have to have friends in high places to survive. You have to balance who you are as Deaf person and work with ... them out there.

But I was humbled when he said he wanted the best for me. He did not have to do that, but he wanted to. Truly nice man. After 3 hours of chatting and bullshitting, I departed.

I'm telling you guys, the luxury apartment where he lives makes me feel so inferior. Standing next to a dog in the elevator is something I'm not used to. Was afraid that it'd go berserk and bite me. Or piss on me.

I'd love to live in that building. If you throw a stone, it'll land in Central Park, figuratively.

Yes, I'd give anything to have an apartment like that.

Cheers,

A Date For Tonight -- Sort of.

Wish me luck.

Last Night

Went with Jenny to The Iguana Restaurant -- there I get to socialize with CMK, CK, Regan and the visitor in Frazier. CMK organized the last-minute gathering which was very nice. Had several coldaches after drinking frozen Marguaritas (I can't spell the worth shit on that term!), ouch.

After that, I parted from them and headed out to The Cock. I like Mondays at The Cock Bar. I guess it is my comfort zone on Mondays.

I bumped into one very attractive guy whom I will not identify his name for the time being because I really think he's worth the energy to get to know more. Gee, thanks to Corey, I was bit out of it last night. There were not many cute guys there except for that one whom I met. We had four things that kinda ... pushed us in the same direction -- which is very odd or coincidence. But I'm not betting high hopes on this, mainly because it is not good to have high hopes.

Saw a certain person and asked him about the next "Triple XXX" Party -- he smiled and said, "I'll need some help, you want to pitch out the next time around? But not very soon because we have to lay low -- the cops are on us these days."

Uh-oh.
