So, with my previous blog which was also posted on MySpace, my buddy Evan referred to my “… usual anti-Republican tirades.”
Not to mention, he defends John Wayne, claiming Duke got rejected from enlisting in the military during WWII due to a college football injury. Just to clear it up, in case anyone else wants to believe that, John Wayne received a 3-A deferment for “family dependency reasons.” John Wayne wasn’t a hero, he just played them in the movies and during WWII John Wayne movies were just the tonic the country needed at the time. So, let’s not bash John Wayne, but let’s be accurate about his “involvement” in WWII.
Evan also suggests I seek answers from RuPaul, not Ron Paul. Actually, that’s a good suggestion! I have a lot more affinity for RuPaul than Ron Paul. The one thing that makes Ron Paul appealing to many voters from a variety of ideologies is his stance on the illegal war in Iraq. Once you get past that bright shining attribute … he really doesn’t have any others.
Paul thinks it’s the federal government that does more to divide our country along racial lines … which is just code for doing away with affirmative action. No Ron, it’s the bigoted attitudes of a few U.S. citizens that divide this country along racial lines.
Ron Paul wants to do away with the Department of Education. Maybe he wants to do away with “No Child Left behind,” the Bush-Kennedy concoction that has done more to leave students behind than anything else tried in Education. Senator Ted Kennedy even considers it a failed policy. But, unlike Ron Paul, I think my taxes should go more to education than just about everything else.
RuPaul, on the other hand, looks great in Manolo Blahniks and Roberto Cavalli. I’m just guessing, but I’d bet RuPaul’s political and social views are closer to mine than Ron Paul’s. If I had a thing for drag queens, I’d move to New York and look him up!
Not really. I have a thing for hot Playboy models. Several live just up the road in Hell-A and I have yet to look them up when I fondle myself in the City of Angels. I mean find myself in Los Angeles.
Mallory Dylan, Jaime Hammer, Sabrina Rose and my favorites, Lindsay Saddler and Roxanne Dawn. They have the prettiest smiles. I melt every time I see them. I’m really very predictable.
One lives here in Sandy Eggo: Marie Francis. Haven’t looked her up either; she’s probably breathing a sigh of relief.
What piqued my interest this morning though was a story on/in the Village Voice, the venerable old New York newsweekly. There was a hit from Monster.com for a job for one of the Voice’s satellite newsweeklies in Los Angeles (bring me closer to Roxanne and Lindsay!), but it was for an advertising sales rep. Honestly, I don’t look good in a suit.
The story though, had nothing to do with advertising sales. It has to do with Rudy Giuliani’s ties to one of the biggest contributors to Al Qa’ida, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifah al-Thani, a Qatar emir who created Al-Jeezera and whose brother, Abdallah bin Khalid al-Thani, currently the Interior Minister of Qatar, harbored and paid the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad.
They and Rudy Giuliani are business partners. Mayor Rudy has a business called Giuliani Partners — pretty unique name — that has long and fruitful ties with the royal family of Qatar, in the oil and energy business of course.
Here’s this candidate, whose only claim to presidential timbre is his allegedly tough stance against terrorism and he does business — extremely lucrative business — with the very people who paid for or allowed the worst attack on our soil since Pearl Harbor. Yes, Rudy not only looked heroic that day, walking through lower Manhattan, he was an effective leader in that he kept a lid on everything, trying to maintain whatever calm and sanity was left during the hours following the attack. But what did he do after that? Well, he attended a lot of funerals and don’t want to diminish that. He lost a lot of friends and acquaintances. But other than that, what did he do?
Oh yeah, he promoted Bernie Kerik to the president for the post of Secretary of Homeland Security. Kerik, the mobbed up guy.
Before 9/11, but after the 1993 attacks on the WTC, it was Giuliani who insisted, over the better advice of his police, fire and other first responder chiefs, the city’s office for emergency management be located IN THE TWIN TOWERS OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER!
My question for Republican voters, those of you who will go to the polls during the primaries, is this: are you willing to vote for a guy who is in bed with the same terrorist sympathizers who helped, either directly or covertly, the 19 hijackers who flew four plans into Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C. and New York? Willing to vote for a guy who put his emergency management office in the most visible, most sought after target of the terrorists? Rudy Giuliani would be a disaster as president.
I don’t really care about his personal problems, let him fuck whomever he wishes to bed, we’re all adults here, but he doesn’t appear to be someone with the judgment to lead a country that is in such a struggle against a group of international criminals intent on wreaking havoc and devastation on our nation.
Have to wonder” Does mayor Rudy’s company do business in dollars or euros when dealing with Qatar?
If Newt Gingrich got in the race, I’d consider voting for him. I’d consider voting for him, depending on his Democratic challenger. Of course, Gingrich was part of the “study” group that planned the war in Iraq …
My friend Witchy is Canadian. Lives up in that cold, icy … I’m getting chills of fear just thinking about it … she lives up there with her hubby (DH) and two kids (DS and DD). So, she and I were chatting away, via Yahoo Messenger, and she tells me that when former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau passed away President Jimmy Carter and Fidel Castro were pallbearers! They both held the front of the casket! Didn’t read or hear about that in the U.S. media!
Canada has … normal … relations with Cuba. They can get Cuban cigars legally. Why we carry on this charade after … 46 years … we even recognized Vietnam and have normalized relations with them. We need political leaders with the political backbone to tell the Cuban lobby “NO MAS!”
But then, our sugar-producing companies here in the U.S. would have a very lucrative competitor in the sugar industry and by golly, that could hurt their very lucrative monopoly in the sugar business.
Both parties need to get real on Cuba.
Hopefully Witchy will provide a Canadian viewpoint on something here. She’s an excellent writer! Hell, a Canadian viewpoint on adult toys would be great! Although, I’m thinking it’s pretty much the same as our view on them: “I love vibrators!” or, “I want the one that looks like Jenna Jameson’s!”
Witchy sent me a link to a very sexy, very gentle cat-o-nine tails one could purchase!
One day — in the summer months (if they have a summer!) — I’m gonna go visit Witchy and the clan. Thank you Al Gore for inventing the Internets!
Just a joke … just to reiterate: When Gore was a senator (from Tennessee) he authored legislation that made military technology available for public use; hence we have the Internets. It was called the “Gore Bill,” but its official name is the “High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991.”
Hard to wrap my head around it; the Information Super Highway is only 16 years old! Seems like I’ve been with it forever! How did we survive without cell phones? And now my trusty iPod! CD player? What’s that? Now, with the ease of this wonderful invention of our 45th Vice President, I’ll go searching for photos of RuPaul … In Manolo Blahniks and Roberto Cavalli …
