Finally, an FBI agent has come out and said that he was the informant known as Deep Throat.

W. Mark Felt, 91, was second-in-command at the FBI in the early 1970s. His identity was revealed Tuesday by Vanity Fair magazine, and family members said they believe his account is true.

This is very exciting. I’ve had my own theories, of course.

What does a Republican Congressman from Alabama have against an irreverent, raving atheist, HBO comedian?

On a show, after the military recruitment goal wasn’t met, Bill Maher said, “We’ve done picked all the low-lying Lyndie England fruit, and now we need warm bodies.”

Congressman Spencer Bachus said, “I think it borders on treason. In treason, one definition is to undermine the effort or national security of our country.”

My question is: Is Bachus taking issue with the entire statement or just the word ‘fruit’ describing military personnel? It is because the word ‘fruit’ is kind of gay? Not that everybody that lives in Alabama is afraid of gay people – just MOST of them and ALL of their elected officials.

Bachus said he was appalled after watching a rerun of the show shortly after returning from a visit to Germany, in which he met with a paralyzed American soldier in the hospital. He has since written to Time Warner, HBO’s parent company.

“I don’t want (Maher) prosecuted,” Bachus said. “I want him off the air.”

Which is it Bachus? In your view TREASON should be punished by losing your television show? Then can we cancel The OC – because it undermines my effort to prove that we’re not a country of douche bags.

I’m not going to get into how trivial the joke Maher made was. There are certain things you just don’t say (ahem – Randi Rhodes). Bill Maher, didn’t say those that or that. He said that there were more people joining the Michael Jackson fan club recently than joining the military.

The problem is that he implied by his statement that our military is ‘low-lying fruit’? Well, unlike most members of CONGRESS I’ve had SEVERAL members of my low-lying fruit family fighting in a war that the reasoning for, changes more than Robert Blake’s theory on his wife’s murder. When Bachus has some of his blood out there in the desert than he can take issue – until then SHUT UP.

From Harper’s

The Pentagon has estimated that since the start of the current conflict in Iraq, more than 5,500 U.S. military personnel have deserted.

Remember this is an ALL-VOLUNTEER force. The military isn’t meeting its recruitment goal. There are TONS of issues to be looked at. What some comedian said on HBO shouldn’t be one of them. Comedians don’t make the problems – we point them out.

I’m TIRED of this political tactic! I’m TIRED of every time there is a real issue – a real issue of national IMPORTANCE – it’s covered up by hysterics. “They’re going to ban the bible and make everyone homosexual – down with the filibuster!” What?!? “Terrorist want to attack us – let’s make abortion illegal!” *pulling hair out* “There’s a movement to make pornography mandatory in elementary schools – reform social security!” KNOCK IT OFF! There’s only SOME MUCH outrage a country can muster at a time – WE’RE ALREADY IN A DEFICIT!!! Save it – you’ll need it around election time.

My last thing: Bill Maher – how’d you get to be the Lenny Bruce of the 00’s? We call it being ‘Dixie Chicked’ but that’s not accurate. Every time one of us gets in hot water by some ’squeaky wheel’ it should be called being a “Maher-er.”

Usage:
-I made a joke about the people in Berkeley being bumper-sticker-activists and I was Maher-ered in San Francisco.

-I was going to say that Bush is a crappy president – but I didn’t want to be a Maher-er for the cause.

-I’m a Maher-er, I’m going to be higher on the dial from now on.

What is this show number 2? I hope that this show doesn’t get canceled. Where else can you see Whoopi Goldberg and Janet Reno together on a episode packed full of the word ‘fuck’.

I subscribe to the AFA Action Alerts because it’s good to read what the squeaky wheels have to say.

While the moderates grumble and then go see who they know on myspace.com. AFA members call their representatives. They write letters to CEOs. They get their big collective ‘wagging finger of shame’ and stick it in the faces of people whose jobs it is to LISTEN.

Their newest?

The gay games are supported and endorsed by dozens of homosexual activist groups and organizations, including homosexual magazines and television outlets.

Tell Kraft to drop their corporate sponsorship of the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago.

Kraft foods? That all American conglomerate under the umbrella of Phillip Morris? Yes. Call them. Tell them to sponsor more wholesome activities like sporting events where real men hang out with other real men and watch real men play with each other. This untainted corporation that makes America’s favorite Mac and Cheese shouldn’t advertise at gay events. They should just stick to making cigarettes and Velveeta. It’s what’s best for the country.

If you don’t like the way people live, don’t hang out with them. Disown them. Pray for them. Kick them out of your church. Pass laws so they can’t adopt children. Try to ban their art work. Deny them unions with their lovers. Vilify them with a disease. Kick them out of the boy scouts. Discharge them from the military. Boycott their cartoon figures. Bash them over the head with scripture straight from the mouth of your loving God. But take away their corporate endorsements? Now you’re just being pricks.

I’m serious. Is there is no other group around that is still fashionable enough to pick on? Guess not.

The AFA doesn’t like anyone that isn’t in lock step with them. That means Muslims, Jews, Gays, those that think religion is personal and not a political platform – all out of step! So if you aren’t with them – in this juvenile way of seeing the world – you are against them. So why are they coming down on gays and not these other groups? Why the gays? Because homosexuality is a choice? So is being Muslim. Because homosexuality is a sin? So is gluttony – I don’t see any AFA action alerts for all-you-can-eat buffets.

Actually, that’s a pretty funny idea. If you know of anyone that’s not in the Christian Right and doesn’t have to work for a living. Send me an email. I have something for them to do during the day.

So calling huge corporations and telling them not to associate with gays is going to accomplish what? Is it going to keep the events from taking place? No. Will it convert some homos to the dark side? Probably not. Will it make anyone treat their fellow human beings with more dignity than they did before? Not likely. So why?

The flippant answer is fear. I think it’s GREED.

Homosexuality generates CASH for the AFA. It generates attention and packs people into churches and empties their wallets. Hell, it wins elections. If it wasn’t for homosexuals the Christian Right, would still be a fringe movement, committed to their street corners ranting gibberish we’d all cross the street to avoid.

That’s right! Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Dr. James Dobson, the AFA all you folks – you need to write a nice thank you card to homosexual activists. Gays and lesbians wanting to settle down and live in the suburbs have made you rich.

My point is not that the AFA is WRONG for constantly demonizing their fellow citizens (you know, people that have a right to live here free too). It’s that they are UNGRATEFUL for all those that helped them get where they are.

Everyone knows this trick. And you don’t even have to be STRAIGHT to use it. David Drier (rep. California) has an 80% approval rating from the Christian Right. His ‘chief-of-staff’ is his GAY LOVER. Then there is the more recent Mayor James West of Spokane.

West, a longtime opponent of gay rights, has denied those allegations, but he has acknowledged seeking dates on Gay.com.

Ingrates! As I’m pretty sure Hallmark isn’t prepared for your particular faux pas. I will give my suggestion for a template:

Dear gay rights groups,

In brotherly love,
James Dobson
Jerry Falwell
Pat Robertson
AFA

Newsweek has damaged the US’ image?!?

I thought it was the Bush Administration. I was wrong? You mean it’s a weekly journal’s fault? That’s why they hate us? I’m so relieved. I thought it was the whole Christian cowboy talking about a crusade that made Muslims upset. So it wasn’t that preemptive strike under false pretenses WAR – or the homo erotic pictures from Abu Ghraib – it was JUST a magazine.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters that Newsweek had an obligation to help reverse the effects of its report.

“There has been some lasting damage that has been done to our image… and it’s going to take some work to repair that damage,” Mr McClellan said. (full story)

This makes everything so much easier. I no longer have to tell people from other countries that I’m Canadian? I can just tell them that I don’t subscribe to Newsweek.

I don’t support a magazine that single-handedly RUINED my country’s image.
