Another Noble Acts By Our Own: You wonder why they wanted to kill the Americans? These things are common in the Middle East. Perhaps more than you ever think. Torture, snatch people off the streets.
What Happened When GW Bush Tried To Be Funny? This is hilarious. Check Joseph Rainmound's entry. Be sure to watch the WMV file of what Muhammad Ali reacted when GW Bush tried to joke with him. Priceless!
I'm Sure You Heard About This ...: I'm sure you heard about this female suicide bomber in Amman, Jordan on television or the Internet? She confessed on Jordan's television that her "explosive belt" did not go off as expected. I do not condone suicidal bombings at all.
But let's face the reality -- Jordan is one of few countries that refused to acknowledge the human rights. In fact, the United States routinely sent its prisoners to Egypt and Jordan so that they can torture them for the United States. You could say that the United States does not torture ... technically, but they are accomplices to the nations that tortured many people, yes, some are not innocent and many are innocent. But guess what?
I'd question the authenticity of this particular woman's confession, though.
Weird Tactic! Wonder if it will ever happen to Jeff Carlson? Check this out.
So This Begins! Dylan emailed me to warn me that there is a possibility that my favorite character, Amethyst has made a brief appearance in Infinite Comics #2 where a purple-laden woman battled The Spectre. I was bit disheartened -- The Spectre is one big nuts. He just killed the Shazam Wizard. It was said that the eradication of Magic occurs in 21st Century and only one planet far away was preserved -- that is Gemworld. Maybe something had transpired. I'm not sure -- maybe the next issue where Mordru waged a huge battle against Doctor Fate will shape the outcome of Magic itself related to Gemworld. Only time will tell. But again, again and again, the DC Comics always fucked itself up in the process from time to time. So I'll not be surprised that if Amethyst got killed, she'll be reincarnated in 20 years. Go figure.
The Workouts Begin! I have my personal trainer. Name is Barry. He's muscular hunk in his 50s. Went to get a workout today for two hours. Let's say, my upper body is destroyed. Am working on three workouts -- Mondays are for upper body workouts, Wednesdays are for back body workouts, Fridays are for lower body workouts.
Normally, I type entries in matter of minutes. It nearly takes me an hour to finish this -- that's how exhausted I am. But patience shall pay off. I'll look good in the long run. And men shall tremble before me. As always.
Tomorrow Is What? ORAL SURGERY!! God have mercy upon the planet.
UPDATE: Today turned out to be pre-oral surgery examination. The real oral surgery occurs on Tuesday, Nov. 22 -- that is the day the doctor will pull out not only one but two wisdom teeth out.

Conservatives Are Hypocrites
You Said Liberal Protesters Are Violent? In Fairfax, George Mason University had to cancel a lecture by Michael Moore last year after the series of compliants by conservative people including several radio hosts.
But when it is time for someone to stage a protest against the military recruiting on its campus, one person himself was Air Force veteran who served in the United States Air Force for four years between 2000 to 2004. Tariq Khan said, "A lot of things went down that I didn't believe in, a lot of what we were doing had nothing to do with protecting freedom, but the recruiters never tell you that."
For further information on this subject, you may read this.
It was his right to protest -- he did not interfere the military recruiting efforts but he reserved the right to share the truth that the military recruiters do not want you to know. Suddenly, one conservative student at George Mason attacked him. Tariq was subsequently arrested for exercising his right to protest at the school that honored a man who was all about individual rights.
Of course, you will not see Bill O'Reilly, Michele Gook Malkin, FagPatriot or conservative pigs touching on this base. They love to attack Liberals who stood up for something they believed in but when they fucked up along the route, they went dead and acted like it is not there.
That is so typical of compassionate conservative dickwads.

The Weekend In Hopewellless
American English signs? That woman, Ms. Kathryn Cleary, should be removed completely from Marie Katzenbach School for the Deaf for making up the idea that there is a language like American English. The article is decidedly biased from the start. Know why? They focused only on one person, Ms. Kathryn Cleary, to argue about what's wrong with the community.
The article was done in very lazy manner -- they did not go out and search for more information from the diverse backgrounds on the subject. Cleary said, Cleary said, Cleary said ... Barf. Double jeers to this article.
Virginia Wins: Today, Virginia Women's Basketball had an exhibition -- unlike in the last 4 years, they routed EA Sports 85-55. This is a sign of good days to come. Yeah, Virginia upsets No. 24 Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech, 27-17 in football. Way to go, Cavaliers!
Another Gallaudet fella On The List: Just keep an eye on your children if they are near this guy. I do not know why Jay Baldridge is smiling in this picture. But understand this, this is free information -- you can access this at the mpdc.dc.gov website, but by law, you are not allowed to harass, stalk or pick on this individual. You are allowed to be aware that there is a pedophile running around you.
Uncle Bert's Clubnight: Last night, I wandered around the small town of Hopewell. Saw a local bar that I never saw before. It turned out that it was recently established. I entered the premise. There is small dance floor on the right side. Lots of women were grinding against each other. About 20 men were watching them with drools on the left side. I mean, these women were grinding so hard that some crashed on the floor.
I tried to contain my laughter. I saw few women putting their hands on the floor so that their asses can be "seen" in public as they shook their behinds. I observed things in very scientifically manner, I noticed that the caucasian males were staring at African American women. These women knew these rednecks wanted their asses. Their eyes said so.
I rolled my eyes. But the caucasian men restrained because of white women who were competing against the African American women on the dance floor. It was getting silly each minute -- then I saw one caucasian guy being shoved on the dance floor by his male friends -- all African American women were rubbing him.
I burst out laughing and walked out of the bar. Such is a life in that small town.
How was your day?

BEWARE Sorenson taking over our Deaf life! Imagine Mormons found a way to infiltrate in our lives without knocking the door! Just touch the remote control and poof, we are endorsing mormons' activities and letting them conquer our right to interpreting services in our local communities. And more importantly-- the right to choose that allows us to support our values! If we don't, SVRS will, later or sooner, bleed us to death by robbing us blind for VPing for relay and anyone. Competition is the best to keep SVRS on their fucking toes. DO NOT LET SORENSON RULE AND BRAINWASH US!
The guy who got shot [outside of Gallaudet] few weeks ago, I bet u a dime he did provoked them. He's a troublemaker, he likes to start something all the time! Don't mention me!
People who give birth to 10-20 children in the name of God because they believe the Bible tells them to "go and multiply" are religious sex rabbits. According to a source, Mormons are one of the fastest growing religions in the world. Brigham Young once told the parishoners that God told him to tell everyone to fuck and get pregnant as often as possible -- to multiply! Did he even give them instructions on sex positions to enhance conception success rate? I can envision a movie, "Invasion of the Mormons." Keep on fucking, you religious sex rabbits, and that movie shall become a reality.
To Provost Jane "Chicken Hawk" Fernandez...you need to shop for your clothes at Neiman Marcus, not JcPenny.
To all of those hearing folks who are learning sign language: it is not cool to communicate with another hearing person by talking and half-signing at the same time, even though she may or may not know sign language. Once you do that, you look stupid and your signs make no sense.
[I see this all the time at Gally]
Is Emily Muns still wandering the streets of DC? When and where was her last sighting?
Weak minds think in crowds.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, RICKY DUNCAN TAYLOR!!
Damn it, Gino Gouby! You have no idea how many guys are waiting for you to move on and be happy! We HEART you, ya sweet hottie!
Joshua's Halloween monk costume was very appropriate!
RESPECT - show me damn respect, you lowly people. If you don't give a fuck, i don't either. If you want me to give a fuck, then show the damn respect.
All these "I *heart* blah blah".... sticking finger down throat.
Pard in Atlanta needs to drop dead or be in jail -- that old geezer chases after uninfected men for his sexual conquests. It is sickening. Ever notice that his friends tend to be the ones who are irresponsible with sexual activities? Pard's friends are the ones in his age group -- one only needs to look not far from Pard's connections.
Impeach Cheney! They had no problem trying to impeach President Clint over a blowjob. Why not impeach Cheney over REAL national security issues? Too bad karma hasn't come back to Cheney yet. No wonder he had many heart attacks and danced with death one too many time. The great one will come sooner or later, and he'll croak.
For Pack, I second the motion and heart you to the moon, Pack, the moon!?!
M - do you like to share love, or do you just thrive on people bickering and bitching for entertainment?
Two words: Jeff Stone.
OMG! My penis drips!
Thank goodness Miers resigned! See, a woman had enough sensibility to resign. One of the greatest political news to happen during Bush's so-called administration.
Pack - don't hang in there. Go ahead and hang yourself.
Can you believe this? Alex Abenchuchan's girlfriend is Alexa! Anyone willing to date a guy that has the similar name probably has an issue with narcissism.

Mordru Rules
Howard Stern & Relay Service: My good friend, Chris and I chatted online today. I told him about the evolution of relay service and its impact on Deaf Community. Chris is hearing fellow who graduated from Dartmouth College whom I loved very much. He said, "Oh, is that relay service? I once heard Howard Stern doing this to a deaf guy via the relay service! Howard made fun of this deaf guy via the relay service!" I was bit surprised by this -- is this true?
Either way, it is apparent that Howard Stern did not call directly to Trudy Suggs, Carl Denney or me -- we would make him look bad just like that. Too bad for us.
Gallaudet Volleyball Season Finished At 23-12: After posting 3-0 win over Notre Dame College of Maryland, they succumbed to No. 2 Juniata College 3-0 in the NCAA Division III Mid-Atlantic Regional Semifinals. Juniata (33-5) advanced while Gallaudet closed the season at 23-12 under the first year of Head Coach Lynn Ray Boren. The future is bright for the volleyball team at Gallaudet.Only God Can Save You, Pat Robertson! In Dover, Pennsylvania, the school board decided not to include "intelligent design". Pat Robertson, that Xian nut from Virginia Beach retorted: "I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God. You just rejected him from your city,"
A resident of Dover shot back, "If Pat decides to visit Dover, he'll need God's help."
Well said!
Steve Courson Dead: My good friend from Pittsburgh, Nanc, is going to mourn this man for days to come. Steve Courson was instrumental figure that helped Pittsburgh Steelers to win the Super Bowl twice in 1978 and 1979. Steve Courson was the first NFL player to admit that he used steroids -- suffice to say, he was let go from the NFL. He was ill with heart disease, attributed probably by his use of steroids, but he cleaned up his act -- too bad, at the age of 50, he attempted to sway his dog away from the tree that he was cutting down -- and the 44-foot tall tree ultimately killed him and injured his dog. I know you guys are snickering ... but let's be serious for a minute. Shoot, I give up. Go ahead and laugh!
Bah! We Already Had This At Gallaudet! Some would say that Carl Denney, Lance Mann, Rob Voreck, David Simmons and yes, some accused me as well. Gallaudet has its shares of students who stayed in college for decades. I do not think Johnny Lechner is any different from these that were accused at Gallaudet.WWBT 12 NBC ~ Jefferson Pilot Company Sucks! I emailed the persons to question them whether if they had hired a deaf person -- no, hard of hearing persons do NOT count at all! -- that used ASL as a primary language. Then I made few calls, they kept on transferring me to different persons until I got stuck with what? Voice mail messages.
Trust me, fellas, they are discriminating Deaf people. The local TV stations, wherever they are, they do not hire a deaf person. They won't! They claimed that they do not discriminate. But they kept on transferring the phone calls so many times that I counted more than 10 different persons ... I could not get ahold of anyone else who is responsible for a certain department that hires anything else, really. Let's face the music -- the hearing people do not want you! They do not want you to do their jobs. They only want you to do the menial jobs and shut up!! If you mention that you're Deaf, they quickly transfer you to someone else ... and you end up being stranded wtih some god-damned voice mails.This calls what? Vengeance, of course.
Does The CIA Has Right To Do This? The CIA has no right to snatch anyone else from some country and transport an accused one to a country that actively supported the use of torture. This indicated that the CIA has no respect for Italian authorities or its laws, the CIA is one of many Americanism arrogances at its best. Now the Italian Authorities are issuing the extradition of several CIA officers -- do you truly think the CIA will respect its demands? No, never will. The CIA thinks they can barge in any country and snatch people out of their homes without proof of their guilty or innocence and claim that it is for the national security. What a hogwash tactic. Shame on CIA.
Yes ... I Know! The pictures you are seeing is from JSA #78 and #79 -- you can click on each image to see it up close. What happened is that Mordru managed to get himself free from his prison inside the Rock of Eternity. After attacking the Shazam Wizard, he went on to kick JSA's butts. But in the process, he was blasted from behind by someone else. That someone else is none other than the apparition using Dr. Fate's artifacts to challenge Mordru. One has to find out what happened next in JSA #80. Cool panels, is it?
But the whole concept is how I feel when I deal with fucking hearies out there. Mordru wants his own way to do whatever he wished -- so do I!

Madonna, Elton John, Enrique Iglesias & More
Why Guy Ritchie? According to this, Madonna said seeing Guy Ritchie's chest was the major reason why she is now with her husband of some years. I tried to google the internet for a photo of Guy Ritchie's chest. No luck. Anyone else has that luck? At least, I saw Ben Moore's sexy chest.
Payback Is Bitch! 13 months ago, Elton John engaged in a foul-mouthed tirade on Madonna after she was chosen as Best Live Act on some music awards. last night, Madonna made fun of Elton John's fake hairpiece on ITV1.
That Is So Cute, Enrique! I do not care much for Enrique Iglesias. I personally thought he is just another pretty boy. Until I came across this article -- I thought it was brave of him to talk about this -- I like men who has average or small dicks. I noticed that men with big cocks tend to be arrogant and cocky, but when it is time to play, they often perform badly. I feel they are so limited in their own manner. I preferred guys who improvise with what they have on their bodies. I noticed that these guys who has average or small dicks tend to overcompensate their performances in bed.
Do Not Fuck With Gays! Or you can get killed. And the gay victims may never get charged at all. Lucas Dawson of Philadelphia was charged with manslaughter after he killed a gay basher who atacked him in Philadelphia few days ago. The judge threw out the manslaughter charge because what Lucas did was based on self-defense. Good. This sends a message to gay bashers, you can die for nothing.
Just Got JSA #78 & #79 Finally, I get to read Mordru's rampage after being freed from the Rock of Eternity. But some strange things occur in the last page of JSA #79, Mordru was blasted from behind as he turned only to see an apparition-like occupying the helmet and artifacts of Doctor Fate. The message at the end of the page reads: "Read for the shocking conclusion to Fate's struggles with Mordru." I suspect Mordru is going to be the rightful owner of Doctor Fate -- or kill Nabu in the process before being displaced in the future where he is to menace the Legion of Super-Heroes in another book. Only time will tell.
Ahh!

Happy Birthday To Me!
Aww, Cute Puppy! Bizarre but yet so cute! I'm sure this dog is going to be expensive of four puppies.
Vote for Lee Trevathan! Once again, the Metro Weekly (MW) is doing its fifth annual thing on its website: To select the Nightlife Coverboy of the Year. Please vote for a certain friend of ours, David T. -- also known as Lee Trevathan. Lee is Deaf and well known in many circles. Either way, let's support him just because he's Deaf. I'm sick of hearing men winning the Coverboy of the Year each year.
Remember Representative Don Sherwood? The Conservative pig who also cheated on his wife for many years was busted by DC Metropolitan Police last year in September, 2004 when the woman complained to the cops that Don Sherwood was beating up on her. AS of now, Don Sherwood is paying her to keep things quiet. Typical conservative pig. Don claimed that he's for family values and he cheated on his wife -- It is sad that there are people like Don Sherwood who used the family values to attack others but he does not practice it as well.
What About DeafSurvivors? You know, when I learned that McWeenie set up a blog called "DeafSurvivors", I actually grinned. McWeenie wrote, "This is a blog dedicated to help deaf and hard of hearing people find each other and provide emergency info after catastrophic events such as Hurricane Katrina." -- I was skeptical by his claims to be genuine. Know why?
Because I was certain that it was short-lived. He was just hyped with Katrina's aftermath. He does not follow up on anything else after Katrina. He does not cover the recent tornado incident in Evansville, floods in New England states or even the massive earthquake in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India (I'm sure many Deafies are there!) ... the blog basically died on its own because he is not covering anything else other than Katrina & Rita.
And I was right after all. Wanna wage a bet that McWeenie will update an article or two in the next 24 to 48 hours just to refute what I said? His last posting on that DeafSurvivors was on October 18, it was about to sign up on its frappr! map in order to identify where you are. That's it. Pathetic, is it?
Bruce Heffernan Can Do Me Anyday! I always laughed each time I read this. The way he talked about it is so funny. The Onion rocks!
Last Night At BARCODE: I went to a gay bar in Downtown Richmond to celebrate my birthday with my two sisters and Darren Schledt. He looks good as usual. I had a good time at the bar. Shortly, I recognized Sean Lewis, a weekend anchor and general assignment reporter on WWBT 12 in Richmond, with another guy in the bar, apparently, he came in to pick a young fellow and departed with him. I wonder if he is out at his workplace -- especially with the fact that the state of Virginia is conservative with laws that permitted the companies to fire gays.
Know what? Some people would be pissed off if I outed him -- I really do not care. I knew of many Deaf persons trying to get a job at these local TV stations ... they routinely get dismissed without getting a chance to work in a place like this. My sole experience in television field is the non-profit organization at PBS. But for companies that are not "non-profit", I never had an experience. You do not know how MANY times I applied for a job position with the local news stations all over the country. No luck.
Why? Because when they see "deaf" on my resume, they discretely removed the resume into the trash bin, and they will claim that my experiences were not "sufficient" -- actually, they prevented me from getting that in the first place. They blatantly discriminated me and many others who wanted to work in the local news stations for years. I feel that they probably felt threatened by the fact that we can do the job -- so they kept us at bay for years. And you wonder why Gallaudet University has dropped the Television field to major in, it is because no hearie company would hire anyone who is Deaf -- yes, you can say that my first degree was completely useless. I'm being forced to find work associated with Deaf peers.
Why do you think many Deaf people worked at deaf schools, government services, deaf non-profit organizations? It is because they had no choice -- the hearing peers simply do not want us.
So do I care if Sean Lewis is being OUTed? No, not really.
UVa To Play Richmond: On December 18, 2005, Virginia Cavaliers will play Richmond Spiders at Robins Center. Know what it means? I will personally haul my parents to the game just because I wanted them to see why I loved the Cavaliers. I know my mother would whine about it but guess what?
I'll still badger, beg, whine and even pull her to the game so that she can attend her first-ever collegiate basketball game. I do not think my parents has ever done such a thing in their lives. Since they are retired, why not make their lives more interesting by coming to a game like that? I'm sure they'll enjoy it eventually.
I look forward to that day, I know it will be a hassle to convince my parents just to enjoy ONE game but it will be worth the time and energy.
Birthday Boy: Did you know that I turned 32 today? My parents also got married on November 9 ... 43 years ago. Mom told me on the way to the restaurant to celebrate my birthday and their anniversary -- she said that I was the easiest one to bore out of six siblings. I was eager to get out of her womb. She said Dad drove to the hospital pretty so fast. In fact, she said that she was supposed to be placed in the delivery room which is downstairs but they decided to move her in a room on the first floor because my head was already sticking out. And voila, I was delivered just like that. She described the whole scene to me even if I do not want to know but she just wanted me to know. It was interesting.
Oh, yeah, had a good dinner with my parents and all that.
Happy 43rd, Mom & Dad. Thanks for the dinner. Love you both, even if you're crazy. Sorry if I drive you nuts as well. But that s life, right?
Cheers,

What About DeafSurvivors? You know, when I learned that McWeenie set up a blog called "DeafSurvivors", I actually grinned. McWeenie wrote, "This is a blog dedicated to help deaf and hard of hearing people find each other and provide emergency info after catastrophic events such as Hurricane Katrina." -- I was skeptical by his claims to be genuine. Know why?
Because I was certain that it was short-lived. He was just hyped with Katrina's aftermath. He does not follow up on anything else after Katrina. He does not cover the recent tornado incident in Evansville, floods in New England states or even the massive earthquake in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India (I'm sure many Deafies are there!) ... the blog basically died on its own because he is not covering anything else other than Katrina & Rita.
And I was right after all. Wanna wage a bet that McWeenie will update an article or two in the next 24 to 48 hours just to refute what I said? His last posting on that DeafSurvivors was on October 18, it was about to sign up on its frappr! map in order to identify where you are. That's it. Pathetic, is it?
Bruce Heffernan Can Do Me Anyday! I always laughed each time I read this. The way he talked about it is so funny. The Onion rocks!
Last Night At BARCODE: I went to a gay bar in Downtown Richmond to celebrate my birthday with my two sisters and Darren Schledt. He looks good as usual. I had a good time at the bar. Shortly, I recognized Sean Lewis, a weekend anchor and general assignment reporter on WWBT 12 in Richmond, with another guy in the bar, apparently, he came in to pick a young fellow and departed with him. I wonder if he is out at his workplace -- especially with the fact that the state of Virginia is conservative with laws that permitted the companies to fire gays.
Know what? Some people would be pissed off if I outed him -- I really do not care. I knew of many Deaf persons trying to get a job at these local TV stations ... they routinely get dismissed without getting a chance to work in a place like this. My sole experience in television field is the non-profit organization at PBS. But for companies that are not "non-profit", I never had an experience. You do not know how MANY times I applied for a job position with the local news stations all over the country. No luck.
Why? Because when they see "deaf" on my resume, they discretely removed the resume into the trash bin, and they will claim that my experiences were not "sufficient" -- actually, they prevented me from getting that in the first place. They blatantly discriminated me and many others who wanted to work in the local news stations for years. I feel that they probably felt threatened by the fact that we can do the job -- so they kept us at bay for years. And you wonder why Gallaudet University has dropped the Television field to major in, it is because no hearie company would hire anyone who is Deaf -- yes, you can say that my first degree was completely useless. I'm being forced to find work associated with Deaf peers.
Why do you think many Deaf people worked at deaf schools, government services, deaf non-profit organizations? It is because they had no choice -- the hearing peers simply do not want us.
So do I care if Sean Lewis is being OUTed? No, not really.
UVa To Play Richmond: On December 18, 2005, Virginia Cavaliers will play Richmond Spiders at Robins Center. Know what it means? I will personally haul my parents to the game just because I wanted them to see why I loved the Cavaliers. I know my mother would whine about it but guess what?I'll still badger, beg, whine and even pull her to the game so that she can attend her first-ever collegiate basketball game. I do not think my parents has ever done such a thing in their lives. Since they are retired, why not make their lives more interesting by coming to a game like that? I'm sure they'll enjoy it eventually.
I look forward to that day, I know it will be a hassle to convince my parents just to enjoy ONE game but it will be worth the time and energy.
Birthday Boy: Did you know that I turned 32 today? My parents also got married on November 9 ... 43 years ago. Mom told me on the way to the restaurant to celebrate my birthday and their anniversary -- she said that I was the easiest one to bore out of six siblings. I was eager to get out of her womb. She said Dad drove to the hospital pretty so fast. In fact, she said that she was supposed to be placed in the delivery room which is downstairs but they decided to move her in a room on the first floor because my head was already sticking out. And voila, I was delivered just like that. She described the whole scene to me even if I do not want to know but she just wanted me to know. It was interesting.
Oh, yeah, had a good dinner with my parents and all that.
Happy 43rd, Mom & Dad. Thanks for the dinner. Love you both, even if you're crazy. Sorry if I drive you nuts as well. But that s life, right?
Cheers,
R-
