Everything the ring-wing can't stand: An Out, Loud, and Proud Gay Man with a Voice, a Podcast, and a Working Penis!

Well, I recorded this show last night, posted the file this morning, and here I am publishing the post all with 24 hours. Must be some kind of miracle! And don't be surprised if I do another podcast tomorrow night ... maybe ....

So, in this show I catch you up on what happened last week and my trip to Ptown. I had a really good time, and caught up with the drama at The Ranch. It is still such an excellent place to stay ... for gay men. ;-) I also went to the gay part of Herring Cove beach and had a good time there. Caught some sun, checked out the eye-candy, and saw lots of sex going on in the dunes. Good Times! Even managed to hook-up with one of the other Ranch guests afterwards.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to interview Hedda Lettuce, but you can check out here site at Hedda Lettuce. Since, I am going back to Ptown this Labor Day Weekend, I'll try again. And if anyone wants to catch her show in Ptown, you have the month of September, and then she's back to NYC.

As for this shows news items:
Schwarzenegger Signs Gay Rights Bill
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld accused a majority of Americans of supporting fascism
Cafferty: Katrina may be Viewed as the Defining Moment of the Bush Presidency
New Orleans remembers Katrina with style
Rumsfeld says war critics are Nazi appeasers

Changes are coming to my web-site soon. I want to consolidate a bunch of links to news-sites, podcasts, and other places of interest on the net. And I still have to post that letter that my conservative friend Bobby sent me. I just have to go through his points and pick them all apart. Shouldn't take me too long, but it is time-consuming.

This is the second post. After 30 minutes of typing, LibSyn lost all my show notes for this show. It is 12:45am, Monday Morning, and I am FUCKING EXHAUSTED!!!!!

First I want to let everyone know that I am alive and well. The dogs and the one cat are all alive, happy, and healthy. I wish I could say the same for the birds. One bird has been very sick for a while now, and I think it's done ... the anti-biotics aren't helping, and I just hope it doesn't suffer at all before it passes away!

I did record this show last Wednesday night, early Thursday morning, and then went to bed. I meant to publish the show the morning (last Friday), but Life got in the way. So, I apologize to everyone for taking so long, and I want to assure you that this is not a sign of things to come. Things will slow down for me eventually, and when I am inside during the Winter, I will continue to Podcast!

As for the show itself, I talk about the events of LAST WEEK where I moved furniture around. Finally got my roomies room emptied of ALL MY STUFF including the 27" TV, the sub-woofer, and the large entertainment center. Of course, there is always the prep work, for the living room before the furniture got moved. Along with that I was moving a years worth of beer bottles out of my house, and into my truck so I could take them to a redemption center. And finally, moving out some MORE stuff from the ex-boyfriend who left me three years ago .... sigh!

But that is just the inside work. And I can't seem to get the roomie to do too much inside or outside the house. I am gonna have to kick his ass and we'll both be outside in the yard working when it is dry and sunny. Once the winter comes, the outside work will go away until Spring and then the entire Winter will just be inside housework.

In the news:
Feds Appeal Ruling on Surveillance
One of the most important stories of the year, and every fucking major network blows it off. ABC gave it the most attention, but STILL everyone gave the Jon-Benet Ramsey murder suspect more fucking attention. Who gives a shit, she's dead, and he's not the real killer. Just what the media delivers ... something to divert the attention of the simple-minded jackasses of this country of which there are many.
Judge Ann Taylor Diggs tells fuck-face Bushie that he is NOT a King and that the U.S. does not have a heredity monarchy ... that MEANS that the President is NOT OUTSIDE OF THE LAW!!!!!! Only a king can live outside the law and Georgie is NOT A KING!!!! So these asshole pundits say that the 43-page ruling is not "scholarly enough!" Hello .... she has been a federal judge for over 35 years. But, the funny thing is ... they didn't say she was wrong! Of course Bush thinks it's wrong, and I'd like to see that law degree please. Alberto Gonzalez has a law degree ... but likes to ignore it ... and these guys will appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court. Bush finally said it .... because bush is an idiot .... as discussed on Joe Scarborough
Bush says: “Iraq Had ‘Nothing’ To Do With 9/11″
Duh! Thanks for finally admitting the truth ... albeit you didn't realize it. It was just nice hearing it.
Christian Coalition losing chapters
Whether in smaller groups, or one big groups, these assholes are so non-christian and nothing more than lying-hypocritical-bigoted fucking assholes who wants everyone to worship the way they do or you're going to Hell! I say FUCK THEM! The only good part about this is that they have less power in Washington as many smaller groups than as one large group. And the less power they have in Washington D.C., that is a good thing!

Finally ... my friends at RCC (Randolph Country Club), our local waterin' hole. These guys are at least a decade plus older than I am. And some of them don't care about politics or completely have the wrong idea about politics. Sometimes, you can push people with a little nudge, and sometimes you need a 2x4 over the backadahead. In either case, I am tired of fighting with stupid people ... when it comes to politics. I'm just sooooooooo tired of it.

So, here I am on a Wednesday night. Just got back from the RCC (Randolph Country Club, NOT Roman Catholic Church), and feeling pretty good after a couple of drinks. Anyway, I recorded this podcast last night and planned on publishing it this morning .... but got so busy at work, that it had to wait until now.

In this episode, I catch you up on me and what has been going on with me, my house, my dogs, my roomie, and my yard ... it has been a very busy week working in my back yard and pictures are coming to prove it. My back-yard has never looked better. During the winter, I can kick back and play video games while it is freezing cold and snowy outside ... in the meantime, during the summer, I want to be outside the house as much as possible.

So, I haven't chatted with my straight freind Bobby yet ... he must be travelling this week, but we'll catch-up. I wanted to post his lengthy letter and comment on it ... but not without his permission. Also, in the greatest of announcements ... one of my listeners sent me a gift, a small token of his appreciation for a podcast. I am sooooooo touched, flattered, and honored ... I never expected anything, but I am so flattered and honored. He is a long-time listener, and contributor to the show, and everything is going great for him ... and that makes we so very happy! :-D

So, in the news recently, we still have our "terra" warning and you know I think it is all BULLSHIT! It's worth repeating the link I had last week: Terra! Terra! Terra!
Source: U.S., U.K. at Odds Over Timing of Arrests
Gregory, Stephanopoulos ignored, downplayed NBC report that U.S. officials rushed UK to make terror arrests

In the meanwhile, a cease-fire has been declared between Hezhollah and Israel and both sides claimed victory. It is also now known, that Cheney's office helped motivate this 30+ day war. The blood of innocent Lebanese is on our hands now! Thanks Cheney you asshole! I guess with this "cease-fire" gas prices will have to come down now. And the Christian-fundies waiting for that Rapture will have to wait a little longer now. Yeah, it sucks World War III hasn't started yet and there is some peace in the Middle East now.

Anyway, this show was a little longer than normal, but thanks for downloading, being patient with me, and listening to my rant!

I recorded this show on Thursday, and yeah I know it's taken me a couple of days to publish it ... just call me lazy I guess. Anyway, in this show I bring the latest goings on with me, and that is a small part of the show. What I really want to discuss is fight or flight, is it bravery or cowardice? There is no right or wrong answer here, and I am not going to be judgemental of anyone.

There are lots of people who have left this country because of our insane, assinine goverment. I mean it is obvious we are quickly slidin into fascism and a totalitarian state ... unless we can win back the elections this November an if sane, honest, anti-war politicians can take over the Congress. I don't hate all Republicans, but after a decade of their corruption, a Democratic congress would be a nice change.

So, what we have is our basic animal instinct, fight or flight. A cornered animal or even a cornered person has no choice but to fight. But, when given the chance, most animals, and most people would 'flight.' Some people have thought that would be cowardly, wouldn't it be more honorable to stay and fight? Not neccessarily so. Think of all the people that came to this country years ago to find a better life for themselves an their family ... that takes courage. I think it is just as brave to uproot ones's whole life and move to someplace new. But like I said, there is no right or wrong answer here and different people have different situations.

In recent news, this terrorist debacle the other day is BS, and here is a link for you all to read:
Terra! Terra! Terra!

So, the timing couldn't be any better ... Tony Blair the night before this terror alert almost lost his job. According to this article, this investigation had been going on for some time, and the U.S. and Britian now decide to make it public?????? Yeah, no doubt, politically motivated because of the results of Primary elections all over this country. I guess the Administration has to remind the STUPID, NAIVE people of this country that Repukes are strong on defense and the Democrats aren't ... what bullshit. The sad part is that there are LOTS of people out there who do believe that BS.

So, as I said in my show, I want to provide some links that I use to get my news every day:
Crooks and Liars
KarmaBanque Radio Podcast
Democracy Now
Daily KOS
Human Rights Watch
Media Matters
Alternet
Counter Punch
Fudge Report
If you think I'm watching or listening to mainstream media, you're nuts!

I recorded this show on Wednesday, and here I am just getting to publish it now. Boy, do I suck! Anyway, this is a much shorter, much lighter show. If we are going into World War III, there isn't much any of us can do to stop it. So, we might as well sit back, and enjoy the ride. This is probably why I'm drinking heavily ... just kidding ... maybe. :-)

So, two weekeends ago, I was in Ptown, and I talk about that for a little bit. I was only gone for a weekend, and I didn't interview anyone. I was so unprepared. This time, I'll be more prepared when I go down next time. I am gonna get some business cards made up for my podcast, get a couple of T-shirts, and see about getting that Marantz recorder sometime soon. It'll be so much better than the iRiver. In any case, I had a great time that weekend in Ptown, and I look forward to going own again soon.

So, the new roomie has finally moved in. He moved in about a week ago, and setup his bed. So, now begins the long slow tedious task of unpacking his staff, and moving some of his stuff into the basement and into the attic for storage. It's wierd having a roomie after having lived alone for three years, but it's something different, and he won't be here forever ... nothing is forever.

I did cover some news tidbits in this episode, but I didn't really use any links, I just touched on what's going on in the world.
1) Israel still fucking Lebanon over ...
2) Iraq and Afghanistan are still going on ...
3) Our own mid-term elections heating up ...
4) Speaking of heating up ... how's that Global Warming?
