I just saw “The Passion of the Christ,” and it was a lovely film. I know how it ends, so it wasn’t really suspenseful, but the way that it completely bowls you over is pretty scary. Being raised as a born again Christian and Buddhist, the story of the crucifixion was always somewhat glossed over. […]
What do we do if we don’t get the democratic candidate to support same sex marriage? We don’t think about that until we have to think about it. I never have a back up plan. I just assume that when I step up, there are going to be stairs there. Perhaps it’s foolish, but fools […]
My response to Bush’s statement on same-sex Marriage “Good morning.” “Eight years ago, Congress passed, and President Clinton signed, the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage for purposes of federal law as the legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.” Which was a big mistake when he did it, […]
An open letter to Gov. Schwarzenegger: Hello there Governor, I am responding to your comments on the recent “Meet the Press” where you said if they did not put a stop to same sex marriage in San Francisco something to the effect of – “the next thing you know there will be riots and injured […]
Dear Rev. Jackson, I have been a fan of yours for many years. We once shared the stage in San Francisco at Davies Symphony Hall. Your message of equal rights and peace has always resonated with me. Through all the different political and social upheavals over the past decades you have been a strident voice […]
Ralph – we love you. It is not personal. Any other election year, we would be behind your indomitable spirit and unapologetic and absolutely 100% American and patriotic views. However, this time around we face grave consequences should we lose this race to Bush, and we frankly need all the help that we can get. […]
Bush is “troubled” by gay marriage in San Francisco. (sung to the tune of “Trouble” by Cat Stevens) Trouble Oh trouble set me free I have seen the gays And it’s too much too much for me Trouble Or trouble can’t you see To be married and be gay You’re taking my laws away And […]
Step up your game. No matter who you are or what you feel about homosexuality. If you are gay, lesbian, transgendered, bisexual, bi-curious, metrosexual, heterosexual, celibate, hermaphrodite, a satyr, a succubus, a fucking human being – and especially if you are a fucking human being, and really want to live in a country where all […]
Normally I don’t get in another country’s business, but I have to say something about what happened in Australia. I had erroneously made a comment in a blog about there being no people of color in Oz, unless you count the sunburned. It was glib and it wasn’t true. I was actually talking about the […]
San Francisco fucking rules. I am so proud of my home town for legalizing gay marriage, sending gays and lesbians down to the city by the Bay that was built on rock and roll to tie the knot. Who don’t like that? Well, the bullshit “Family Values” groups don’t think it is right. One dude […]
Remember the uproar amongst Batman fans when Michael Keaton was set to play the role of the Dark Knight? It was a moral outrage akin to what happened at the Superbowl. Geeks, freaks and sci-fi comic book moles – I am going to say that because I am one – were talking about boycotting the […]
Echoing his statements made a year ago for waging a war on Iraq, George W. Bush today was once again talking about weapons of mass destruction that do not exist. He is using billions of taxpayer’s dollars to build himself a platform from which to say, “You know I am right. I am right. I […]
