Why Barack Obama is dead to me

Barack Obama isn’t a Christian. He’s a politician. That’s his religion. He doesn’t answer to a higher power, unless you count the American Israel Public Action Committee — the Israel-first lobby — as a higher power.

RepubliKKKans: What’s the big deal over ‘Barack the Magic Negro’?

Chip Saltsman, the overprivileged-frat-boy-like assbite who headed Repugnican MiKKKe HuKKKabee’s campaign for the 2008 Repugnican presidential nomination and who now wants to head the Repugnican National Committee, claims that he’s fighting the good fight by defending “Barack the Magic Negro,” which he calls a “light-hearted political parody.” 
If a non-white prominent political operative put out a “light-hearted political parody” disparaging [...]

I’m gay for Glenn Greenwald

Glenn Greenwald, sexy brainiac
I’ve been a long-time fan of Salon.com columnist Glenn Greenwald. He writes intelligent, interminable sentences and really can get into his topic. (Not that I’m a size queen, but he can write some rather long columns.)
I looked Greenwald up on Wikipedia today and discovered that he’s gay, which I had suspected, since he’s intelligent [...]

On proportion (and the lack thereof)

The Associated Press reports that thus far more than 360 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been slaughtered by the Israelis and some 1,400 Palestinians have been wounded in Israel’s latest massacre.
The AP notes that in the entire year of 2008, 17 — seventeen – Israelis were killed by those rocket attacks from Gaza (presumably by Hamas) that [...]

Ask Uncle Barack!

President-elect Barack Obama’s at-least-mildly-creepy shadow-presidency website, change.gov, is taking questions!, I was informed via e-mail today.
I just submitted these two questions:

I’m a gay man who gave your campaign hundreds of dollars. You have invited homophobe Rick Warren to appear at your inauguration. How about you invite Rush Limbaugh to perform “Barack the Magic Negro“? C’mon, now! [...]

Ralph Nader’s 300:1 ratio holding up

These Palestinians are those of at least 298 slaughtered by the Israelis thus far. We Americans are supposed to be sympathetic with the Israelis — who are perpetual “victims” – even though the Israelis kill far more Palestinians than vice-versa, and even though our government gives Israel billions of our tax dollars with which to slaughter Arabs.
The [...]

I’ll miss the first Stepford lady — NOT

Stepford wife Laura Bush (shown above in September) was in a tizz that her husband had to duck a pair of shoes, but has no apparent problem whatsofuckingever that her unelected husband is responsible for the wholly unnecessary deaths of at least tens of thousands of people, including more than 4,200 members of the U.S. [...]

It’s never terrorism when Israel does it

AFP and Associated Press photos
Smoke rises from Israel’s latest slaughter of Palestinians. It’s rather interesting how the victims of the Holocaust have become the victimizers, isn’t it? And how it’s always “terrorism” when an Arab or a Muslim kills someone, but never when an Israeli or an American kills someone?
The Associated Press reports that “Israeli warplanes rained more [...]

How about ‘RUSH the Magic GRAND Dragon’?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Wingnut blowhard Rush Limbaugh, who compared the Abu Ghraib House of Horrors to fraternity hazings, thinks that the song “Barack the Magic Negro,” which he played on his show in 2007, is appropriate entertainment. Hey, maybe Barack Obama can have Limbaugh perform the song at his inauguration! You know, in the spirit of inclusiveness ‘n’ shit!
They [...]

Brothers and sisters, stop selling us out!

I love Rachel Maddow (above); Melissa Etheridge (below), um, not so much…

So if MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow is my favorite dyke* right now – and she is — then musician Melissa Etheridge is my least-favorite dyke right about now.
Etheridge wrote a surreal piece on The Huffington Post in which she wrote that Prick Warren [...]
