I was not surprised but I was disgusted and disturbed to a point where I stopped reading at page 3 out of 8.
I cannot stand the Pentagon, CIA, FBI and the Bush Administration crying a huge river about one insignificant bad report by Newsweek about flushing the Koran down the toilet which instigated the anti-American riots in Muslim countries.
People who are Conservatives, Republicans and X-ians thought that Newsweek did a disservice that made Americans look bad -- actually, what Newsweek did was insignificant -- in fact, too many incidents had been coming out of prisons in Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Egypt, Jordan and in the United States where our soldiers and interrogators bashed people brutally to their deaths.
And the Pentagon always investigated and blamed "few" individuals that did not "follow" the policies -- the truth is that it is the current policy that enabled our soldiers to do whatever is necessary.
This is the reason why many people despised us.
More Americans will be killed anywhere in the world, even in the United States, eventually -- when it happened, don't act like you are a victim. Your silence and support for the troops to torture the accused ones ultimately proved that you are apostate of this behavior.
The Pentagon and the whole United States Armed Forces claimed that they do not tolerate these behavior and shall "investigate" -- in fact, it is another lie, they encouraged it. Again, most folks who are in the Armed Forces are 'tards. That's why they cannot live as civilians. They needed someone to discipline their behavior 24/7.
Sempfer fi? My ass, they lacked the honor and dignity. They are their own joke amongst themselves. They are pitiful creatures that does not deserve to have the welcome mat in this country.

Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Gus and I drove to Bensalem, a township north of Philadelphia to catch the Episode III: Revenge of the Sith at 9 PM with rear caption window. Bought the tickets then had a dinner. I hate picking and carrying this equipment to the auditorium where hundreds of people were perplexed that I'm carrying this stick with darkened glass! But what choice do I have, really?
When Gus and I struggled to adjust the viewing for ourselves, I noticed something interesting ... before I could mention it to Gus, Gus snapped, "Did you notice that too many overweight guys here loved Star Wars?"
Great minds think alike.
One cute guy right behind me tapped my shoulder and asked what it is -- I gestured that I can't hear so I watch (pointed at the wall in the back which this cute guy saw) by on this rearview window to follow the dialogues.
Now with the review of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith! I won't ruin the surprises. I swear! I love to spoil the surprises but honest, what is there to be shocked in this film -- everyone knew how it panned out in the end but how it is being done is different, really.
Shut up, McWeenie, stop whining about Lucas' poking fun at GW Bush's antics. George is billionaire. Michael Moore is millionaire and you are? Some white trash living in nowheresville in New Mexico that nobody cared to know.
The first 30 minutes of the film was mind-blowing one, since I'm not used to the RW thing -- I was trying to get adjusted but it took me a while to get used to it and be able to follow the massive battles that took place right above Coruscant.
I agreed with the critics that the lousy part about the movie is its dialogue! George Lucas simply sucked at dialogues. The love relationship between Anakin and Padme is simply unbelievable. But I must admit that despite what people said about Hayden Christensen's portrayal of Anakin Skywalker in negative manner -- I find his performance to be powerful, perhaps the best of 3 films.
The concept how the story evolved from Episode I to IV is great, I'll grant it to George Lucas but he shouldn't have scripted the dialogues -- let someone do it as long as he controls the storyboard.
I really felt for Anakin Skywalker when Obi-Wan Kenobi left him helpess to his oblivion in the end and when Obi-Wan said, "I regarded you as my brother, I loved you." Anakin, you could see the fear, hurt and pain in his face, muttered "I hate you."
Was it his fault that he became Darth Vader? Partially. But I'd say that the blame lies with the Jedi Council because they did not really care nor make sure that Anakin is OK. They left him to figure things on his own, always telling him to "search his feelings" to a point where Anakin was misleaded by Darth Sidious.
It was a tragedy in the making.
Gus is not a fan of Star Wars, he apparently thought the prequel films were taken place right AFTER the Episode VI -- for some reasons unknown to me, don't ask me why -- Gus was stunned to see Padme giving birth to Leia and Luke. It was hysterical.
When the film is done, Gus and I played by using the RCW sticks to imitate the lightsaber fight -- people were horrified that we were using the RCW sticks to bang on each other.
Dialogue sucks, no question. Storyboard? GREAT! I finally understood why Emperor Palpatine looked awful. I think this movie will make Darth Vader not "villain" but "tragic character that was caused by others". I enjoyed it immensely.
On the way back home, I thought of Anakin's rage, frustration ... and his desire to control the destiny around him and his loved ones. It appeared that Anakin was trying so hard to protect his loved ones, he was willing to tap in the dark side of the Force in order to protect his loved ones.
I was thinking -- Anakin's pain was attributed by women. See? Women caused galactic problems for Anakin, resulted in untold numbers of deaths across the galaxy. His mother died, he was hurt and enraged. He wanted to protect his wife, Padme from anything else (find out why he did it in the film, ok?) and it resulted by plummeting him in the dark side of the Force. So you see, women caused it all.
I told Gus on the way back home, "If Anakin is gay, none of this would have to happen -- so it was women's fault." He'd make be good for a gay man, very loyal. He could have fucked Obi-Wan to relieve his stress and frustrations.
Honest, women are the source of Anakin's problems a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ... !

Few Things Before I Zoom
Latter Days -- Good or Bad? Saw "Latter Days", very cute film -- I probably won't rate it as the best gay film. Nah. It proved what I knew all along, the Mormon guys' asses are meaty. Easy on my eyes. Which is why I am enthusiastic about going to Salt Lake City in 2007.
Oh, yeah, I knew that 40 percent of Las Vegas residents are Mormons and they worked in The Strip, not to engage in gambling but because many businesses trusted them to handle money. So you can see why I am looking forward about going to Las Vegas on June 12 to 16. Oh, yeah, I'm going to stay at a hotel that is about few blocks away from Apollo Spa. Can't wait for that stuff to VEE-VEE, oh -- we'll be in that place on Tuesday night.
Then I get to google these Mormon guys then again in 2007 in Salt Lake City.
Loved one fag hag's line -- the one that defBef probably will utter anyday if she wanted to: Alcohol and homsexuality? I can't imagine going to Heaven without these two.
Episode III! Oh, yeah, Gus and I am going to dine at Ruby Tuesday then stroll down to a movie theater with rearview windows to see the Revenge of Sith!
No, I won't dress as anyone in the film -- Gus and I will probably try to take pics of us via his SKII. Hope the Episode III is going to be great one of prequel films. I still think the Return of Jedi is the best. I absolutely HATED the Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. I thought it was nuts. Name the planet where the Cloud City is -- you won't. Because according to some Star Wars fans, Lucas never named the planet, though.
Otherwise, should I report the spoilers or just a review about the movie? Let me know so I can decide!
May the Force be with you.

Cannot Wait About Three Things!
I cannot wait for three things today:
1. Seeing the Episode III tonight (possibly) with rearview captioning. Better than nothing -- at least, some folks would probably look at us as "futuristic" folks and ... the movie is based not in the future but in the PAST!
2. Buying the graphic novel of JSA's Prince of Darkness where Mordru devastated New York before chained to the Rock of Eternity.
3. Seeing Liz and Cory tomorrow night at L2 Bar & Restaurant on South Street. Liz is hearing, gorgeous and dynamic woman. It is been ages since I saw her. Liz is fun and wild girl -- the gal that I immensely enjoyed very much. Cory, some of you knew him as ... Cory Donahue. 'nuff said. Don't act so surprised!
Gus' little bird is fucking a stick in the birdcage -- if you want to see it via the videophone, let me know.
It is beautiful day. I'm going to watch "Latter Days" now. It is about the LDS guy on the missionary who fell in love with another male.
Whee! Whee! See? I love the LDS guys -- many of 'em are fuckable. Oh, yeah, Jeff Carlson is fuckable but that does not mean we will do it, though.

Few Comments About This, That and There
Herpes Caught From the UV Booth? Apparently someone thinks so. Dumb trollop that amounts to nothing on the subject. The Kurzetard once whined that Mike Rogers called Bruce Carroll's workplace about the blog he wrote as GayPatriot -- which he immediately resigned. But it is the same antic that Kurzetard is attempting on several people who blasted her to smithereens for her lies. IN turn, she is making calls to badmouth the people that she loathed so much. So much for her so-called Christian hypocrisy whoremonger.
Kurzetard, here is the message: Seva mi levo jaje!
These are one of funniest curse words found in Serbian language.
Mordru Is Back! I know it is silly, really. Dylan emailed me to let me know that Mordru is making an appearance in one of comic books, which I suspected, led to the DC Comics' major crossover called "Day of Vengeance". I'm so thrilled -- the last time Mordru was seen when Doctor Fate imprisoned him in the Rock of Eternity. But apparently, he is taunting Shazam's Wizard who regarded the Rock of Eternity as a good place to imprison Mordru. Well, Mordru is an omnipotent being -- he was never born, nor will ever die. Whoo! I was also informed by a writer inside the DC Comics that Amethyst is making a dramatic return in this summer's crossover, pending the approval from big guys above. If that is the case, expect me to drain lots of $ to read Mordru's struggles to conquer the universe and ultimately, face Amethyst once again ... hopefully. That is the entertainment, folks.
One of many quotes I liked from Mordru -- when Mordru ambushed a group of super-heroes with his allies, his allies wanted to continue by assault and burning the city. Mordru smiled, "Why burn it when you can rule them for eons?" Smart man.
Today is Thursday! Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is being shown across the world. I need to find out the dates for captions in Philadelphia -- anyone care to help? Don't be so bitch, please.
Anal Sex is Family Value! Want to read Dr. Hager's concept of family values? Appparently, he is Christian and is against the birth control pills but enjoyed raping his ex-wife by anal sex while she sleeps. Such a cute X-ian family values, really!
The best line of the article was: 'Oh, I didn't mean to have anal sex with you; I can't feel the difference,'
The Dangers of Patriot Act: Joan Airoldi is the true American Patriot. I already warned the dangers of Patriot Act. Check this. Soon, you'll be whisked away for reading something that goes against the American beliefs.
Patriot Act II: The 'tarded Republicans are working on a bill to permit the Homeland Security Department to subpoena records without the permission of a judge or grand jury. This is one of many little steps that will turn the nation from democracy into dictatorship.
And They Said Republicans Are For Small Government: People said that Conservatives and Republicans wanted less governmental interferences, tax cuts, smaller government -- yet, this Republican Ted Steven of Alaska is regarded as No. 1 for wasting government's money.
Review about Episode III: The New Yorker has the way of words with things in life: Anthony Lane, The New Yorker -- What can you say about a civilization where people zip from one solar system to the next as if they were changing their socks but where a woman fails to register for an ultrasound, and thus to realize that she is carrying twins until she is about to give birth?
Dead Sea and Jordan River: Between Israel and Jordan lies the famous body of salty Dead Sea with a river lining up from the Sea of Galilee to Dead Sea, dividing two nations between Jordan and Israel. Well, the Jordan River is dirty, filled with raw sewage and dead. The Dead Sea is fast disappearing -- 3 feet per year. Thanks to the growth population of Israel and Jordan -- maybe it is a sign for us just to disregard the Holy Land as a thing of the past? If you insist to be baptized in raw sewage-filled Jordan River, more power to thee.
This reminded me of Devils Lake in North Dakota, the lake is *growing*, much to the chagrin of residents. IN fact, the city of Devils Lake, also home to North Dakota School for the Deaf, is negotiating with Canada to SELL off the excessive water that was drained into this lake. This lake is growing at the pace of 2 feet per year.
So this reminded me of something funny in a comic book a long time ago where a scientist argued with another scientist -- one scientist said, "This is blasphemy, you expected me to address this to to the prestigious groups that might finance this?!" Another scientist said, "But the evidence is there! It is there! The Empire State Building is growing!"
First Street and Second Avenue? This actor on Desperate Housewives were busted for smoking weed outside of a bar on First Street and Second Avenue in New York -- I'm bit baffled. I know of a gothic bar on that corner, The Hole and that Japanese Bar and yeah, the Urge between 2nd Street and 1st Street. My bet is the Japanese Bar or The Hole.
Red uniforms win better? My high school consists of red and black, I must be that lousy. I could not even win a championship not even for sixth place in the Mason-Dixon Tournament even with red uniforms on.
Birds Go Haywire In Houston: As a bird, I would attack anyone else who comes too close to my babies, motherfuckers.
About Matt Drudge: Matt Drudge seems to enjoy bashing on media when they questioned the hard ones to White House. But when people turned the tables on Matt Drudge, he whined that his life is privacy. No, Matt Drudge, you lost your privacy when you peppered on others' lives. People already knew that you're gay -- you looked like one, people saw you kissing a guy, several claimed you hit on them. But you re one of many Roehmosexuals -- like Roy Cohn who denied that he is gay but enjoyed getting fucked in the ass. Bizarre guy. Oh, by the way, Matt is not attractive.

10 Downing Street
What is 10 Downing Street? It is the most important residence in the United Kingdom -- the official residence and office for British's Prime Minister since 1735. It has been home to Winston Churchill and the current PM Tony Blair as well. 10 Downing Street is the most recognized address along with 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW -- if you do not know what 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW is, your American citizenship is revoked -- immediately!
Was reading "Everyone Here Spoke Sign Language: Hereditary Deafness on Martha's Vineyard" by Nora Ellen Groce today -- I read it for one class at Gallaudet some years ago -- I was bit bored and decided to reread it today.
It mentioned 10 Downing Street that I thought I should share with the readers -- Deaf people were employed by Sir George Downing, an English politician who is well known for running many series of spy networks across London and beyond. Nearly all of Deaf people that were hired by Sir George Downing reported directly to him. Most English politicians feared and respected Sir George Downing because of his political skills and his ability to find information as much as can be.
How did Sir George Downing knew these deaf people? He was from a small town named Maidstone in the county of Kent which is located southeast of London. It was no secret that because of poverty levels, lack of transportation, many Deaf people were born in the county of Kent to a point where many people in Maidstone can sign, hearing and deaf alike. That was where Sir George Downing learned and relied on Deaf people's loyalty to him.
Here is an evidence that can be found in Samuel Pepys's diary, during November 9, 1666 (307 years before I was born), a fire was beginning to consume the city of London, it reads:
These group of deaf families from the county of Kent eventually (depending on how you looked at it) emigrated to Massachusetts and settled down on Martha's Vineyard in 1700s. Later, Laurent Clerc was brought to Hartford to set up the first deaf school permanently (Cobbs Hall near my parents' hometown, Hopewell, Virginia is the first) in the country ... large numbers of deaf children from Martha's Vineyard was sent to Hartford to be educated and most of them did not return to Martha's Vineyard.
Suffice to say, the damned Kennedys took over the island eventually. Few friends of mine told me that you can find the gravestones in fingerspelling at Martha's Vineyard near Chilmark and Gay Head. Cool?

Racist Is Racist
Vincente Fox, the President of Mexico, caused an uproar (which I think is very silly) two weekends ago about the jobs that Mexicans took that African Americans and others do not want. African Americans wept that what Vincente Fox said was racially biased. Boo hoo!
It is true. Just look around.
Clifford Terry (eiffilc of Xanga) can be so racist despite the fact that he is African American. He continues to blame the Caucasians of enslaving African Americans. He claimed that it was the whites who started the slavery ... read what he commented on Graystorm's comment box:
Whites should take the blame? I'm like, "C'mon, move on. Get a life already!"
Did you see Jews blaming Egyptians today for its thousands years of slavery? NO, you do not. They moved on ahead with their lives.
I told Clifford that if he observed the history, whites did as much as blacks did, though. I also mentioned that many Blacks refused to do the menial jobs, they gradually graduated to the other level with better opportunities, creating an available of menial jobs for others to fill, the Mexicans and others happened to fill in.
Clifford Terry claimed that he is not a racist. But read this:
Cheese rice? I heard of that racial slur.
I studied the History of Africa under Dr. Joseph Kinner and got an A in it, I could say that the dark-skinned people in Africa were limited and supersitious and they probably needed a leash from someone to teach and tell them what to do with their lives but I do not do that. Because it is racist.
The idea is to work together, do not delegate the whole jobs to hispanics -- there are many caucasians and African Americans that has to work together in order to make the society a better place to live and work with. But to blame the caucasians for your fucked-up truths is not the way to go.
Clifford then commented the absurd idea of his own:
If you look at the American History, there was an influx of caucasians that emigrated to this country after the Civil War -- the majority of Caucasians are NOT responsible of slavery. Clifford or many African Americans cannot hold me responsible for what happened in the past. Cliff has no right to accuse my great-great grandparents who never owned slaves.
Cliff also accused the caucasians of instigating the slavery in Africa which is not true. In fact, for thousands of years, the African tribes always battled against each other, raided against each other and enslaved each other. But when the boats came from India, Arabs and Europeans, the idea of slavery trade has began. Was it the caucasians' fault? No, not really. Back then, the slavery was acceptable practice for many groups. If you want to lay the blame, blame it on Africans for enslaving the others and sell the slaves to Europeans who took them to the United States.
The whole point is that you are racist, Clifford.

It is true. Just look around.
Clifford Terry (eiffilc of Xanga) can be so racist despite the fact that he is African American. He continues to blame the Caucasians of enslaving African Americans. He claimed that it was the whites who started the slavery ... read what he commented on Graystorm's comment box:
"I am not saying that hes correct or not.. Blacks did work hard on this and that when they were slavery. White did nothing. Shud have said, White wont do the work that Mexcians will do. :-P"
Whites should take the blame? I'm like, "C'mon, move on. Get a life already!"
Did you see Jews blaming Egyptians today for its thousands years of slavery? NO, you do not. They moved on ahead with their lives.
I told Clifford that if he observed the history, whites did as much as blacks did, though. I also mentioned that many Blacks refused to do the menial jobs, they gradually graduated to the other level with better opportunities, creating an available of menial jobs for others to fill, the Mexicans and others happened to fill in.
Clifford Terry claimed that he is not a racist. But read this:
R, thats ur opinion.
I'm not trying to be racist. Whites would not have created this country without Blacks or anyone else. Them, white people are too dumb and think they are gods -- the chosen people that should not be doing the hard work. Power to them black people, they shouldn't have to work the "minimal jobs." They already did that years ago. Cheese rice!
Cheese rice? I heard of that racial slur.
I studied the History of Africa under Dr. Joseph Kinner and got an A in it, I could say that the dark-skinned people in Africa were limited and supersitious and they probably needed a leash from someone to teach and tell them what to do with their lives but I do not do that. Because it is racist.
The idea is to work together, do not delegate the whole jobs to hispanics -- there are many caucasians and African Americans that has to work together in order to make the society a better place to live and work with. But to blame the caucasians for your fucked-up truths is not the way to go.
Clifford then commented the absurd idea of his own:
There are many reasons why the Black wont take the jobs that Mexcian would do. I am blaming your parent's parent's parent's parent's. Them white people.
If you did study the History of Africa and got A in it. Then you shoudl know that Africa would have been one of the powerful country if only White didnt enslaved our great-great-great grandmother and grandfather. We would never have this racist comments. White belittled us to the level that they treated our ancestors as animal. Hunted our family backen then like animals. They had guns! They did the same thing with Native Americans. I am sure you can think at least two reasons why Black and Native Americans refuse to take jobs or do jobs for White that Mexcian would.
If you look at the American History, there was an influx of caucasians that emigrated to this country after the Civil War -- the majority of Caucasians are NOT responsible of slavery. Clifford or many African Americans cannot hold me responsible for what happened in the past. Cliff has no right to accuse my great-great grandparents who never owned slaves.
Cliff also accused the caucasians of instigating the slavery in Africa which is not true. In fact, for thousands of years, the African tribes always battled against each other, raided against each other and enslaved each other. But when the boats came from India, Arabs and Europeans, the idea of slavery trade has began. Was it the caucasians' fault? No, not really. Back then, the slavery was acceptable practice for many groups. If you want to lay the blame, blame it on Africans for enslaving the others and sell the slaves to Europeans who took them to the United States.
The whole point is that you are racist, Clifford.
