Endorsement!

I want to take the time to endorse someone for 2005 WEBLOGAWARDS's Best GLBT Blog.

That someone else is Brat Boy School. I had the pleasure of chatting with him once in a while on AIM. Ethan is incredibly sweet and nice fella. Yeah, he's hot. That helps a little, I guess.

He is currently behind Pam's House Blend and FagPatriot by 150 votes. If you vote each day, you can help Ethan to surpass FagPatriot -- it'd be wild to see Bruce and Dan of FagPatriot to be humiliated.

Vote for Ethan's Brat Boy School!

Cheers,

Interesting Article: The article questioned whether if GW Bush is hard of hearing or not. Since he's not listening to anything worthwhile ...

Mann Coulter Should Be Maimed: In Storrs, Connecticut -- the hecklers interrupted the bitch conservative pig, Ann Coulter from speaking so much hate to the student body at the University of Connecticut. One student asked Ann if she learned that her own child is gay, know what she responded? "Did you know that you were adopted?" Tasteless. Stupid. And Ann complained that the Liberals disrupted the speech, "I love to engage in repartee with people that are a lot stupider than I am," -- but wait a minute, who was stupid about gay thing? Of course, that bitch.

Brokeback Mountain: The raves continue to pile on the film. I am so desperate to check it out. I am curious to see what kind of reaction from the heterosexual community regarding the film. And it premieres in Wyoming on Saturday in Jackson Hole, my favorite town in the USA.

Another panel of The Boondocks today from Dylan Westbury. Gee, can't wait to see how they reacted when they saw the film!

Irony Rules California: In California, Tookie Williams, the founder of the LA Crips gang, is scheduled to be executed next week. It was said that his group was the responsible in the killing of Tupac Shakur some years ago. Since then, Tookie has renounced the gang, learned how to read and write as well. The only person that can save his life is Governor Schwarzenegger, whose made fame and money in killing people in his movies.

Xians Claims To Be Tolerant But Are Really Intolerant In Topeka, Kansas -- where the Xians pressured the state to accept and insert the teachings of "intelligent design" in schools across the state, much to the objections of educators and others. One professor at the University of Kansas wrote an email that teaching a course about intelligent design as mythology in religious courses would be a nice fat slap in their faces.

Then few days later, the same professor were stalked and beaten by Xian thugs. Another reason not to tolerate them at all costs. Fuck them.

Long Live Mordru!

According to the advertisement before I get JSA #80 today reads like this:

The final battle between Mordru and Dr. Fate rages to its shocking conclusion through the worlds of Kingdom Come and JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NAIL! Plus, the Thunderbolt vs. Jakeem to decide the ultimate fate of the Fifth Dimension! After this issue, two members of the JSA will never be seen again!

Today, I got JSA #80, I was rather disappointed. I was expecting to see the anticlimatic battle between Mordru and Nabu. But only 7 fucking pages were devoted to the battles. That really pissed me off.

Two members of the JSA will be never seen again -- Hector and Lyta. Who the fuck cares, though!

I care about Mordru whipping Nabu, Mordru was overwhelming Nabu and was winning before Jakeem intervened. Of course, with Johnny Thunder's help, Mordru was teleported somewhere away for a long time.

I suspect that it was the "final" battle between Mordru and Nabu but certainly not the final battle between Mordru and the members of JSA. Perhaps by JSA #100, Mordru will returm and resume the drama. As always.

Again, Mordru rocks!

Read the dialogue -- you can see why Mordru makes me chuckle -- his comments are so cool.

Ahh, I cannot help but to love this villain. He'd kill your favorite characters anyday! And the best part is that he cannot die nor lose, only you can do is to bury him alive or to send him away. That is the only option you have. Bwahahaha!

Barry Strassler Is Crybaby! A certain friend of mine told me that he emailed Barry Strassler after reading the comment about the Deaf Prep 11-Men Football National Championship, which Maryland was named as the winner. My friend jokingly asked Barry if he was on the MSD payroll since no player from California School for the Deaf-Riverside was named on All-American First Team or Second Team. The Defensive and Offensive Player of the Year goes to Maryland, despite the fact that CSD-R went through the season unbeaten and lost in the first round of some state tournament.

By that, my friend told Barry that he was a disgrace for doing that. Guess what Barry Strassler did to my friend? He banned my friend from getting DeafDigest and DeafSportZine mailing list!

Barry Strassler is indeed a crybaby.

Cool advertisement! This is stunning!

Hat tip to Merritt. Thanks!

Here Is Zorro! You thought it was Antonio Banderas, really?


See Something Interesting? Try to find the image that is part of our lives, really. And I'm bit amused. I'm not sure what to say of this image. Check this out. Hat tip goes to PJ.

Who is RT101? My sources are pouring in. I believe I knew who this person is. At least, let me tell you which websites he surfed lately -- www.kinkycobbler.com -- how kinky is that? I am getting to you, coward. When time do occurs, the shit will hit the fan. Just watch me.

DeafSurvivors? McWeenie sets up a blog right after Hurricane Katrina bulldozed the city of New Orleans. And guess what? The blogsite is dead. And Whale Fatterson is still complaining and reading my blog these days. Of course, I am amused.

List of 2005 DeafBlogAwards: Here is the tentative list of categories to pass it out. I think we might need 5 blogs to nominate for each category.

Best Blog
Funniest Blog
Best BiPolar Blog
Most Powerful Blog
Best Stupid Hearie Blog
Best Narcissistic Blog
Best Hot/Cold Blog
Best Geek Blog
Best Creative Blog
Best Thoughtful Blog
Best Conservative Blog
Best Liberal Blog

Anything else to add? You have the time to add the ideas until Sunday.

Pearl Harbor Thing: Many of us wanted to remember the "travesty" that occurred at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. It was considered to be the 'day that will live in infamy'. If you look at the history of what was happening in Hawai'i prior to the destruction of Pearl Harbor, maybe the actions were justified.

After all, we stole the islands from the original inhabitants. And trampled their rights. I wrote about this a while ago. Read and weep and don't try to make us look good while we were not in the first place. Maybe we deserved to be bombed on that day.

Time for Our Own?

Nothing New With Hearies! We always set up our own businesses, schools, clubs, magazines, newspapers and all that shit because the pricks outside of Deaf Community tend not to include us in many avenues. It does not surprise me at all that WEBLOGAWARDS is not inclusive to include Deaf bloggers in its annual awards. I say fuck 'em.

Let's set up our own -- 2005 DeafBlogAwards. You have until Sunday, December 11, 2005 to nominate any Deaf blog. I'll collect the nominations and make the poll where anyone can vote (once per day) starting on Monday the 12th. The voting shall end at midnight on Monday, Dec 19th.

If you want to set up something to categorize something like "Best Deaf Sports Blog", "Best Deaf Gay Blog" -- you guys can make suggestions to me via ridor9th@gmail.com. I'll figure out something. The winners shall get the design of something to attach on their blogs to brag that they are best at something else. How's that? Any feedbacks would be appreciated.

Oh, yes, you can nominate yourself.

See This? My Mom Did That: Mom loves to fish. I hate fishing. It wasted my time. She loves to fish then caught these dirty fishes then toss it back in James River. Mom tends to fish in the area that was pretty unsafe to start with, despite the fact that lots of people came to the particular area near City Point National Historical Park where two major rivers, Appomattox and James, meets.

Sensing that the area needs a safe waterfront for others to enjoy, Mom got in touch with the city. The city said that the property is owned by Petersburg National Battlefield Park. So she got in touch with the park that operated the Petersburg national Battlefield Park.

You know the b.s. drills. She also mentioned that anyone could get injured and sue the park for not doing something about the unsafe conditions in the area by the rivers. Apparently, the park service agreed with Mom and worked with the city to build a nice, cute waterfront. It is nice waterfront, really.

Mom is kinda proud of it. She said, "ME DID IT. ME WROTE THEM AND THEY DID IT. ABOUT TIME!"

Once Again, WEBLOGAWARDS Is Not Credible

WEBLOGAWARDS For Whom? Hearies Only! Last year, I asked Kevin who operated the WEBLOGAWARDS website to include the Best Deaf Blog Award because the numbers of Deaf bloggers are growing at an alarming rate. No response from Kevin at all. This year, they announced the list of Best Who's Who on its website. Again, no Best Deaf Blog category at all.

They included the Best GLBT Blog, the Best Conservative Blog, the Best Liberal Blog, the Best Culture/Gossip Blog ... if you observe its listings, most of the listings are done by conservatives. Which means they are not inclusive. This year, I emailed Kevin directly and asked him why.

Here is his response that really pissed me off and it should piss you, the Deaf readers, off.

Nor do we include awards for pet bloggers, music blogs, autism blogs, porn blogs, etc. I'll tell you what I told them. If you're so pissed off about not being included do something about it - start your own awards.

I get about 1,000 e-mails a day, of which I respond to very few.

There's your response.

What does it means? He actually categorized us in the same category with these "pet bloggers, music blogs, autism blogs, porn blogs, etc."

Kevin actually named the Best GLBT Blog -- it is not EVEN a culture. It is just a fucking subculture. Deaf Culture has its own language, therefore is a culture. Gay does not mean they have its culture, it is called a subculture.

They even had "Best Military Blog" and "Best Sports Blog"! I guess they are important and better than "Best Deaf Blog"! Even worse, they have "Best Podcast Blog"!!!

As always, Hearies, especially with the conservative pigs, tend to reject the inclusiveness while demanding us to tolerate them and their antics. One cannot have this at this game. Why do you think many Deaf people do not want to mix with hearies? This is good example.

Needless to say, I went on to retaliate back and Kevin ran to his website to post what I said. Kevin, you are typical hearie pig. That's why you had the donation box -- desperate for attention and hits in order to make money.

Very true. Hat tip to Dylan Westbury once again.

Check This Out: Here is the link to Ryan Commerson's interview. Who is Ryan Commerson? He is the one who staged the Hunger Strike in Flint, Michigan to force the Michigan Deaf School to do something about the language deprivation. Hat tip to Delanne Woodall for the link.

Rapper Foxy Brown Now Deaf, Hearies Abandoned Her! What else is new? Dear Foxy Brown, get used to it. They are like that. Always had, always has been and always will be like that. You either get used to it or get ... dust.

Confidential to RT101: I'm so flattered you dedicated a website to smear who I am. You claim to be the Truthseeker whereas many of your information are false. 2.3 GPA?! That is hilarious. I am better than that. Keep going, you're amusing me with your fairy tales. Either way, whatever I do will continue to enrage you, coward. And I thrive on it.

Thanks, Dylan.

The BEST Holiday Display Ever: This is amazing feat!

Hat tip to Chad of Cake or Death -- I condemn him but I love to pick on Chad, though.

Elizabeth Vargas? I'm not a fan of Elizabeth Vargas but it appears that she'll be the co-anchor with Bob Woodruff for ABC's World News Tonight. I think I'll stick with NBC's Brian Williams and CNN's Anderson Cooper -- they are easy on my eyes.

Too Slow Response! This is amusing. Hearing disabled? Okay. It is "slowly changing". That is the problem. And this is news? Please. Get. A. Grip.

Right As Always: Richmond School Board Chairman Stephen B. Johnson is expected to resign. Now guys, pay up. I knew the state is conservative, Stephen has to resign or face these silly remarks by many Conservatives who will use this as an opportunity to derail his ideas. That's how Virginia operated in the last 100 years. Go figure.

Rate Your Video Relay Service! This website is operated by a deaf man. It is to rate the VRS of its service. Not surprising, Sorenson is the popular but not the best.

An Appeal To Anyone:

I got this from McFly via the email:

Sign hey:

My name is John Lee Clark, and I am the publisher of The Tactile Mind Press. My wife, Adrean, and I started the company by establishing a print literary journal, called The Tactile Mind, offering the best in today’s signing community literature.

In the beginning, we knew that the journal would be a losing venture financially, but we hoped that the number of its subscribers would gradually grow up to and beyond the point where it would support itself.

Unfortunately, this has not happened. Our journal has received high praise for its physical quality and the quality of the work published in it. We are also finding it impossible to keep on pouring thousands of dollars and months of work into its publication. Before we close the publication, however, we would like to give the community a chance to save it.

So we are having a subscription drive. Our goal is 300 new subscribers by 31 December 2005. If we succeed, the journal will continue publication, and the new book-style issue we have already assembled, including the best of what we have already published in the first five years of the journal and new exciting material, will go to press
immediately. If we come short of the goal, we will close the journal and refund all subscriptions, old and new.

We have tried our best, but now the journal is in your hands. If you want to subscribe, you can order a subscription on-line at http://www.thetactilemind.com or send a check for $28 (for two annual issues of more than 200 pages each) to: The Tactile Mind Press, PO Box 581667, Minneapolis, MN 55458-1667.

The progress of the subscription drive will be posted weekly in our free e-zine, The Tactile Mind Weekly, and you can subscribe to it by sending your e-mail address to subscribefree@thetactilemind.com.

Hoping that the journal will continue, I am

John Lee Clark, Publisher

I enjoyed reading the TTMW. Maybe I should sign up ...
