IF HILLARY WINS THE NOMINATION…

I talked with a friend today. And this is what he told me. If Hillary Rodham Clinton wins the Democratic nomination black people will not vote in the general election in November, thus giving John McCain the top seat in the White House. In fact, if Hillary were to win the nomination, my friend says, riots will erupt in numerous places throughout America.

This, of course, comes after comments were made by the controversial pastor Jeremiah Wright, who has close ties to Barack Obama.

Now I could be listening from an extreme liberal. I will not mention my friend’s name over of fears that this person might not want me in sight any longer.

But think about this. Barack Obama is in serious trouble. He may hold a good lead in delegate count at the time of this posting, but Obama will not walk away with the nomination. Rev. Wright has stirred up too much controversy for the American people to handle.

It will be a match-up between Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

Let’s face it. The Democratic National Committee is going to have to let in the delegates from Florida and Michigan for the convention. And since Obama is not supporting primaries for both states, those delegates will favor Clinton. And because Florida and Michigan are big states, they will pave the way for a Clinton nomination, giving the American people a woman for a presidential candidate. And hopefully a woman in the White House if my friend just happens to be skewed with the facts.

Go Hillary!

JAMES DEAN IN THE BUFF

I have always been curious to know what James Dean looked like. I guess that’s just me, killing the kitty. A lot of people of like that, and I’m no execption.

Anyway, when I came across this celebrity website last year, and viewed some pics of Jimmy, I had finally squashed the cat. No it wasn’t the photo of the Hollywood icon in a tree. In fact, he was in bed. And yes, it is real, which comes to show that Jimmy may be gone, but he’ll never be forgotten.

And I just thought I’d show you the link. Here it is.

JUDY SHEPARD WAS RIGHT

People need to understand that whatever your sexual orientation is — it is not a sickness.

And that applies to Rep. Sally Kern of Oklahoma. She needs to learn — and she’s had 61 years to do so — that people are sensitive to homophobic bashing. It is not right to compare GLBT people to terrorism, and what Ms. Shepard said in a recent letter (which can be read on this blog http://queeristan.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/judy-shepard-has-a-message-for-sally-kern) that people need to understand compassion to GLBT citizens.

Judy, of course, lost a son ten years ago in a much-publicized hate crime in Laramie, Wyoming. The hate that the two men convicted in Matthew’s slaying had continues to be carried out by other people, whether it’s by violence or simply by the use of a homophobic slur.

But one thing is certain. THIS NEEDS TO STOP!

And as far as the next politicians to be elected is concerned, one should hope that each carry with them a sensitive side when it comes to hatred to all groups of people. Race, religion, gender, disability, and, of course, sexual orientation.

LETTER TO SALLY KERN, OKLAHOMA STATE LEGISLATOR

I just want to let you know that I am a bisexual, and I want you to know that there are people in the GLBT community who do not pose a threat to anyone. So how could anyone say that we GLBT members pose a greater threat than the terrorists who train little boys, rob their innocence, to maim, torture, and kill enemy soldiers trying to help them, who by the way, come from the very country where you are granted the right to hurt our feelings by the words you use.

I can care less whether or not I am talking to a woman right now. I am talking to a monster, a monster with no compassion for certain people of certain social groups. You ought to be ashamed for this, Ms. Kern. You lying monster.

I’ve read Breaking the Surface, the autobiography written by Greg Louganis. In it, he talks of a brief relationship with a pedophile as a teenager, only to mention that most child predators are heterosexual family members. In other words, GLBT people are not as likely to prey on little kids like straight perverted adults do. So you’re wrong. And on many other fronts as well.

I think you need to do yourself a little favor and step down from your position as state legislator, and owe us GLBT brothers and sisters and sincere apology.

But since you’re a Bush Republican who can care less about a Matthew Shepard, a Barry Winchell, or most recently a Lawrence King, we can all expect nothing from you. After all, you’re a homophobic monster, and you always will be.

A TENNIS TEAM TO PLAY IN A PARKING LOT?

This is an all-timer. Take it as fiction all you want, but this, my friend, is real and exciting.

The Philadelphia Freedoms tennis team will play their season this year in the parking lot of the King of Prussia Mall in the city of Brotherly Love.

This makes me want to laugh. Seriously. I mean, how can you replace the white lines of a parking facility for the many different colors of a tennis court which was the brainchild of Billie Jean King, who by the way, co-owns the Philadelphia squad, and who supports this venture?

This is crazy. I’m in a loss for words. Billie Jean is a genius, always coming up with something grand, something that will catch the public fancy. That’s the way she is. She’s something. I love her.

I honestly can’t wait until the World Team Tennis season begins in July, because I’d like to watch them smash the ball around. My only concern is whether or not any broken windows will occur. Maybe not. They should have aluminum stadium seats around this alternative court. But this is fascinating.

It is interesting to note that Billie Jean once played for the Freedoms. In fact, Sir Elton John wrote a song for his friend based on the team name, which made its way to number one on the pop charts in 1975.

INFANT CIRCUMCISON SHOULD BE BANNED IN U.S. AND CANADA

I personally think that males should have the option on whether or not to be circumcised. They shouldn’t have that privilege in life taken away before they have lived a week. I don’t consider this a rite of passage, whether it’s the father wanting the little boy to look like him, or over some lame ceremony, like the Brit milah.

Look, I’m not here to offend Jewish people, let along my Creator. I’m just saying that the notion of infant boys benefiting off things like this is pure myth. The truth is that some boys have actually died as a result of circumcision, which makes one question why they even perform such operations when it is medically unnecessary. And the fact that sexually active men who are circumcised are just as prone to HIV/AIDS as those whose foreskins were left intact only increases the credibility I am presenting here.

The point I’m making is that North American countries have a very high circumcision rate compared to that in countries in Europe. For example, circumcision is extremely rare in Sweden. I think circumcision should either be a pro-choice decision on the part of the intact male or a doctor’s decision should urinary and foreskin issues develop. But otherwise, leave the penis alone. It’s a human rights crime to whack that thing off when, like I said, it’s totally unnecessary.
