Mister Senator...
Mr. Senator:Ladies and Gentlemen.... if they want a cultural war, I'll give them a fucking cultural war. Fasten your seatbelts, it's gonna be a bumpy 2006."
Tomorrow you will be faced with a vote that may have the longest aftereffects of any other you have cast in your Senate career.
Tomorrow you will decide if your political position is worth more than doing what is right for others like you. For others like you, Mr. Senator, who engage in oral sex with other men. (Although, Mr. Senator, most of us don't do in the bathrooms of Union Station!) Your fake marriage, by the way, will NOT protect you from the truth being told on this blog.
How does this blog decide who to report on? It's simple. We report on hypocrites. In this case, hypocrites who vote against the gay and lesbian community while engaging in gay sex themselves*.
When you cast that vote, Mr. Senator, represent your own...it's the least you could do.

*While votes on many matters are considered, votes "FOR" either the Alito nomination and the Federal Marriage Amendment are enough to qualify legislators for reporting on this site.
UPDATE: Some of you have asked if he will be outed tomorrow. No. The blog will report on this closeted Republican Senator between tomorrow and a time when it may most impact the reelection effort of the Senator. Just because the Democratic establishment has given up the fight for our Nation, doesn't mean this site will...
Language evolves...
This post from DailyKos sums it up best:
What I want is a complete list of every scumsucking fuckstick Democratic asshole Senator who voted for Cloture. That's what I want.
I don't know what to DO with that list, not yet -- but I know for GODDAMNED sure I won't be VOTING for any of them, lt alone sending them any goddamned MONEY.
I'm not saying he's gay....
Here's some info about the newest blogger at Wonkette, according to the New York Times:
In one column, entitled "Those 'Happy Homos'" he wrote: "National Coming Out Day is just another event in the recent rash of identity-based pride rallies. These alleged celebrations of diversity have devolved into mutual masturbation festivals. They reassure people who are still deeply troubled by their lifestyle choices and are desperately seeking a stamp of approval. We have a duty to deny them this approval."

Senator Mikulski has no comment at this time...
Now, over a decade later, a Maryland court ruled that gays and lesbians are entitled to the same rights of marriage as straight people. The reaction of the Democrats in Maryland? To introduce a bill that would put off equality until after the November election.
You would think a lesbian US Senator would take the opportunity to be honest about this. The problem is that politicians are too busy worrying about being reelected than to worry about leading.
I was told by Senator Mikulski's office that there was little chance the Senator would comment since she "usually does not comment on state matters." "Does not comment on state matters?" Is that some kind of fucking joke? Despite her reply, I asked the press spokesperson to ask the Senator -- after all, if there was an "unusual" time this is it.
Here's what the lesbian US Senator's press secretary said the Senator has to say to a nation attacking lesbian and gay rights:

Thanks. Thanks for nothing.
Payloa continues...

I am not good at math,
Refreshing
Can you tell that I'm itching for some rough and tumble politics?
When warmongers say filibuster...
The filibuster...
I broke my longstanding policy of not donating money to political parties last fall when the folks from the DNC called and asked for money to help gird them for the upcoming fights over judicial seats. I was assured that indeed they would fight to keep right-wing extremists off the Supreme Court.I've got plenty to say about the complete lack of competence of the Democrats if they fail to filibuster Alito. I mean, come on... The president's ratings are in the toilet, their is a growingly unpopular war in Iraq, and the scandals in the House and Senate GOP are worse than any daytime soap opera.
And now, faced with a clear-cut extremist (and dissembler) who is about to not only overturn the right to obtain an abortion, but also to pave the path for an imperial executive branch with limitless powers ... nothing.
I'm not terribly inclined, as my readers know, to use profanity in my posts. But if the Democratic Party wants any more of my money, they can just go fuck themselves.
If they can't get their crap together to filibuster now... you really have to wonder what the hell we're even going to the polls for.

Getting it right
The moment you forget that the Nazis and the German people of that time were human beings just like us; and that all human beings are capable of terrible, terrible things, you doom us to a dark future.

The connection of people

Within that context, I can only equate Gay Republicans with Kapos. And I would suggest that the old argument of "working from within to change the system" is as valid today as it was under Fascism and Communism.

Cable Systems.... Part II
I appreciate the response to the request below... If you have not heard back yet... look for an e-mail this weekend. Thanks!
Now for the rest of you. If you have Showtime On Demand on a system OTHER than Comcast, please click here to contact me. I would be most appreciative if you can give the site about 5-10 minutes of help.
Same deal as the Comcast post: I don't need anything taped...just need a menu report.
Thanks!

The View from Panorama
Seems that closeted gays in the government wasn't the only US political game they got involved in.
From Raw Story by Larisa Alexandrovna
Michael Ledeen, A controversial neoconservative who occasionally consulted for the Bush Defense Department has confirmed that he was a contributor to the Italian magazine Panorama, whose reporter first came across forged documents which purported that Iraq was seeking to obtain uranium from Niger. (red emphasis added)Oh, how I hate the combination of closet cases and yellowcake uranium in the morning.

Like the cup of life...
Now that the proof that this campaign does have an effect has been printed in the Washington Blade, it's time to assess where blogACTIVE is headed in the next year. Earlier today, I chatted with a friend. We both share an interest in politics.

Let's drink from the cup of life...
