Post-election Blues
But then, there is always GWAR. You WNYers are not as familiar with GWAR as you should be. You are hungry. Hungry for something but you don't know what. You hunger for

Halloween Movie Madness
Until Freaks.
Todd Browning's Freaks is the only movie to creep me out. To make me so uncomfortable I had to take a break and untangle the disgust in my brain.
The film takes place in a carnival. There are the big ring circus folks, and the sideshow freaks. Plotting brings the big ring people into the world of the freaks. The freaks are so other that we can't help but empathize with the plotting, evil characters. The viewer is the villain.
The movie is filled with little scenes of simple humanity. Like a man born without limbs rolling a cigarette.
Or take a look at this iconic scene. Just prior to it, the woman was mocking her new dwarf husband (all part of that evil plotting) at their wedding. The sincerity of the freaks response is one of the most chilling things on film.
And the ending... if the ending doesn't keep you up all night you aren't human. But I wont spoil it. Go out and rent it.

WTF McCain-Palin?
It was recently revealed, through the magic of campaign financial disclosure, that $150,000 was spent on wardrobe and accessories for Sarah and family. Which, from the convention to election day is over $2,000 a day in clothing. Hockey Mom indeed.
But what gem surfaced this morning?
Who would you guess is the highest paid staff member on the McCain-Palin team?
A hot economic advisor?
Campaign manager for Ohio?
Makeup artist?
That is right, the highest paid staff member is Palin's makeup artist. Amy Strozzi picked up $22,800 in the first two weeks of October as Palin's traveling makeup artist. To put that in perspective, McCain's top foreign policy advisor only made $12,500 in the same period.
McCain's new campaign slogan: MILF the vote!

Palin: I'm so AWESOME!
You are such a great, principled woman. You could of had an abortion, but you didn't! You would have been tempted to abort one of those horrible, ugly, demi-human's with Down's syndrome. But you are so filled with conviction that you didn't kill this disgusting offspring.
Dobson reminded Palin that he sent her a letter after her infant son, Trig was born saying the baby's birth was "a powerful testimony" to the "sanctity of human life." Trig was born 6 months ago with Down Syndrome.
She told Dobson that Trig's birth was "an opportunity for me to really be walking the walk, and not just talking the talk" on her opposition to abortion.
maybe I am just a little pissed off at this woman, maybe I am a little sensitive about this issue lately, maybe it is the way this article was framed. But these remarks do not come off well, as if there was doubt that an absolute stance against abortion applied to other human beings we value less.

I would rather say that shitting on Mormons is PE, politically expedient. They only represent 2% of California's population and even if they are a unified bloc, that still leaves another 48% of California to share the burden of guilt. Granted, Mormons won the money game for them, but there is plenty of blame to go around.
The great irony of this is that gay people are saying to the social conservatives "Hey, we want to be like you. We want to take part of the great civilizing force, marriage." It is the most conservative thing the GLBT community has ever done. And our demand for normalcy is rejected, as if social conservatives like the good old bachelor homosexuals of popular imagination.
Obviously, the numbers with the Mormons realistically may not matter compared to the numbers that can be swayed in the correct direction. I imagine attitudes in some areas are changeable and some are not.
It's easy and PC to shit on Mormons. Nobody should be afraid to say, well, 70% of blacks voted for Prop 8, and that shit is fucking wrong. We all know god damned well it's wrong, but people shit their pants over people knee-jerking on them and calling them racist. Fuck that. Wrong is wrong.
And as far as coalition building, I did not mean with the Mormon Church. Specifically we need to work with our relationships with the Latino and Black communities. Both of these groups voted overwhelmingly for prop-8 and both are minorities who are discriminated against. Working towards a solid voting block is more constructive than pissing on Mormons, who, by and large, are worthy of our piss.
I hope you are being sarcastic but there is no ground on which it is reasonable to defend mormonism. To me it is the epitome of the outageousness of religion. I have zero tolerance or respect for them.
Nothing fills me with more religious hatred than the mormons. I hated them as long as I can remember and it has nothing to do with prop8 and everything to do with my personal interactions with even the nicest of them. That plus a couple book I read about them. This one book :::link::: was particularly interesting, obviously the mormons hate it.
Why should I need to build any sort of coalition with them - I am just assuming you are kidding. I have no peace with the mormons, nor will I ever. In fact I hate them more than they hate me.
