2 Weeks till Showtime

Tomorrow is Weds. Oct 20, 2010. Perhaps it isn't that memorable a day to anyone unless they happen to be born on this day. But tomorrow I will wear purple, not because I am old, (which is true) but to support gay kids all over. I will actually wear purple and black, since the day has been put aside to mourn the gay kids who have been killing themselves like lemmings in the past few months. What does it say about where we are that there needs to be a site: www.itgetsbetterproject.org, where countless interviews by gays are posted on youtube to reassure gay kids that IF they can make it through school, they can get away from the bullies and the teasing and the rejection. It speaks volumes about where we are as a country and Mother is not happy.

I must admit that I am already dreading election day. I'm afraid Barak just never made the switch to being a man of the people. He campaigned well, but he just can't seem to get how to get down with folks. I find that depressing since it has given rise to a lunatic fringe like I've never seen before. I know that some thought my generation were out of control, but we have come into our own and the war in Viet Nam was a travesty and indeed Nixon was a crook. So we don't measure up to the Tea Party Lunatics.

It's much better when they make fools of themselves in person, that's what my daddy used to say. Things can be written about folks, or ads can show things but when you get a real bona fide idiot running for Senate and not familiar with the First Amendment, well honey that just has to go up here. And here's my favorite Republican I love to taunt, Christine ODonnell in the flesh.



Pray for us, my friends, and for heaven's sake get out there and vote!!!

Tea Party and Olympics Won't Mix

Today I was reading the news and came upon an article about the Games in India. It seems that the 7,000 free condoms already given out have clogged the plumbing. What's even better it is estimated that they will have to give out more. The article goes on to tell us that for the last Olympics they gave out 100,000.

As an AIDS worker I find this great news since it means that the kids are practicing safe sex. But wait up there little campers, whatever are the Tea Party folks going to do about this. Are they going to declare that the Olympics and all other games (including the Pan America games) will be off limits? Will they forbid the American men at least from participating?? I wonder if this will become a campaign issue. Maybe I should contact Rachel Maddow and she can look into it for me.

After all if dear Christine thinks she can forbid kids from masturbating what on earth is she going to do with condoms, perish the thought. And then there's Sarah, gosh isn't she just grand? The spokesperson for abstinence whose daughter had a kid out of wedlock, if she's president can you imagine the problems for Trojan?? Why they might need a bail out!

And that's my observation for the day. Keep the faith y'all

Really?? Really????????

It is hard for me to believe that election time has come around again. Sarah Palin's daughter is on Dancing with the Stars (her mom was probably pissed she wasn't asked) and there is a new rising star in the Republican spotlight (well really Tea Party) that is beyond belief. Christine Odonnell. Ok, I know she's dabbled in witchcraft, that she thinks mice are being genetically altered to have human brains (yeah no kidding) and that China wants to go to war with us and take over our country. The fact that she is dumb as a rock is beside the point. We have plenty of idiots in Congress. What I find incredible are some of her stances on AIDS and masturbation.

Masturbation, yes I said it. She would like to stop kids from doing that. She doesn't think it's effective in curbing their sexual desires and it doesn't help with abstinence. Aside from the sheer lunacy of trying to stop any red blooded boy or girl from masturbating, how does she get enough votes in Delaware to beat out her Republican opponent? How is this happening? I must be living in a totally alternative universe which I hope I can continue to live in long enough for the Republicans to blow themselves up.

Please God, get the dems out to vote or it's going to be a very very very long 2 years.

And for those of you who just have to see it, here is Ms. Odonnell on the subject of masturbation.
