New Olympics Idea: "Who can throw more stupid commentators in the mud" contest 

I think what has irritated me most in these Olympics (not that it is anything new), but newly as annoying, is the hyperventilating media pressure about gold medals. Listening to these stupid commentators is always the same:

"Mary, we don´t really want to put any pressure on you, but we all know that gold is what matters and if you don´t win it, well, you´re trash. Everyone is counting on you to bring that gold medal, is that clear? If you don´t win, we´ll really tar your perfomance, we´ll execute you with our stupid questions about why you failed before the entire nation, because gold is the only thing our enlightened minds can think of regarding the Olympics.

That doesn´t mean the Olympics aren´t about brotherhood and that other nonsense stuff, do not get me wrong, we aren´t some rapacious gold vultures, but if you don´t get that gold medal, you´re a total loser, you hear? A total loser!"

Can´t we have a "Who can throw more stupid commentators in the mud" contest?

Moments that Make you Hooked on the Olympics 

Although I am tempted to write about everything that is profoundly irritating with the Olympics, I´ll blog a little about what´s nice (or maybe both).


Malaysian boy stands tall on highboard



I saw him today. A great sight, his body still the size between child and adult, much smaller than the hunky well-toned divers, but that said nothing about his beautiful concentration, as the article said, unfazed was the word. Doesn´t that speak volumes about the power of the mind in sports?


A Big Kerry Belly Flop 

Commenting on the post below, J Rice says:



Actually he only told me he was in Vietnam after the polls showed that that was the place to be for him to get a few more votes. Up till then, he had never been in Vietnam. He had been in New Zealand, playing with a dog (poodle). His publicity people thought it was close enough, Vietnam/NZ (it´s over there) and crocodiles/poodles (both have tails). All is well that is reported well, his courage with Vietnam crocodiles, belly flop! ;-)

Olympics Diving - No Splash 

What makes diving competitions so dull? It just fizzes out at the end of each dive, ploop.

And why should we care about how much water is splashed when they enter the pool, anyways? I actually like it better when there is a splash. I think they should change the rules or create a new competition to see who can make the biggest splash ;-)

A Barbaric Society´s Idea of "Hate" Crime/Speech 

I have just received one more spam e-mail advertising incest pornography, the catch phrase being, "Would you like to ********** your daughter?"

Now, only in a very violent, sick society, is this labeled free speech and not immediately framed as what it is, incitement to sexual violence in the sphere of the family.

In our deeply putrid world, "hate" speech is defined as:

Notice that no speech that intends to hurt and intimidate someone (even in the case of a child) regarding the sexual sphere is included above.

Thought Control


It is easy to note the irresponsible pro-homosexual bias in the above explanation.
Adults, the media, peer pressure, family experience, etc., are always having influence and impact on an individual. What influence, how much, in what way, etc, is what varies.
Furthermore, the above explanation, in order to legitimize homosexuality, does not distinguish between desire (or the ridiculously murky concept of orientation) and sexuality. Human sexuality is the full aggregate of a person´s psychology (both conscious and unconscious), their intellectual thinking, their attitudes, their values, their desires, their dysfunctions, their emotions, and their behaviors about sex/body/intimacy. It is like comparing a pebble to a mountain.

Therefore any adult could possibly influence another person´s sexuality. A person´s environment, their experiences, their relationships, in short, anything and everything can have an impact on a human being. This does not mean we are clones and experience everything in the same way. Given that human beings are not ameobae and a lot of our psychological make-up is due to external influence, to say a homosexual could not influence others regarding sexuality is profoundly untrue.

Notice also that in the example given, the criticism is from a religious perspective. That is only one anti-homosexual perspective, but there are other ones, such as the social sciences themselves. One does not need to be of a certain religion to understand why homo and bisexuality are dysfunctional and to know they include every form of psychological and behavior problems we have in the world (such as psychological/sexual violence, prostitution, sexual harassment, emotional/personality development problems, bigotry, ignorance, lack of respect/aggression, etc).

This is where the current homosexist culture we live shows it´s true colors. When it frames the objection to homosexuality (which includes all these problems above) as a form of hate and not as a legitimite criticism to a whole set of dysfunctional, and in many cases, harassful and violent actions, it is simply legitimating a lot of aggression, denigration, and violence committed by homosexuals and bisexuals.

So, how is speech being framed in our wonderful society? Objecting to homosexuality (which includes the full range of violent behaviors we know of regarding sex between people of the same sex, although not for all homosexuals) is currently framed as "hate" speech. Pedophilia, which is very similar to adult homosexuality, another dysfunctional form of human sexuality, is just barely not being framed as a legitimate make-up of a person. Therefore, we can still object to pedophilia and not be labeled filled with "hate." Who knows how long that will last. Inciting people to sexually torture children is "free" speech, specially if framed in a pornographic text format.

One of the reasons for this barbaric state of affairs, is that homosexuals are one of the most prominent circuses in society (in the bread and circus sense - see below). Their propaganda functions as a distraction to the horrible problems we have with violence and emotional and mental diseases, which are very much a part of many people´s sexuality.

I also think that to denigrate sexuality, in all its expressions and behaviors where there is a component of sleaze, is a form of aggression. Obviously, in a sick society, denigrating sexuality in every way, except when it has something to do with objecting the norm/legitimation of homosexuality, is deemed free speech.

A homo or bisexual can write or say sexually sleazy things to a person, and this is not hate speech, but if this person objects to homosexuality, this is hate speech. To take the contrast degree one level higher, a homosexual can incite homosexual incest with children, such as in the initial example, and that is not deemed hate speech, if it is done in a pornographic format, but if the child objects to homosexuality, the child is "filled with hate," to use one of gay activists most used propaganda slogans.

It´s just barbaric.

The Bread and Circus of "Hate Crimes" 

Double good commentaries from J.Rice - which might seem disparate at a first glance, but are very much a mirror view of the same problem.

First, a reminder about some problematic consequences of the Olympics as a distracting spectacle.



Next, Rice blogged a case that was widely featured in the conservative media, about a psych professor that faked "hate" crime actions against herself.


"Mike" asks (comment on above blog):


The "hate" crime framing is a profound mimicry of Orwell´s Animal Farm tale, when the pigs take over power.


And this faked "hate" crime post and Mike´s comment couldn´t make for a better tie to what Rice wrote regarding the distraction that the Olympics represents from other much, much more serious issues.

Homo activists have pumped up the propaganda for their "plight" and people love to be distracted with this instead of facing how many serious problems with sexual violence and dysfunctions we have in society, not to mention all the other serious problems, such as mass hunger, etc.

The Disappearing Act of Female Athletes´ Clothing 

Finally, a much needed commentary on the unpleasant sexing up of athletes. I had been particularly displeased with the track and field female athletes. We do not care to see more than half of their behinds, thank you. We would like to see them run, nicely clothed, not turn into some cheap shots.

Sheep Testicles - Steroids for Ancient Greeks 

One more athlete disqualified because of doping. Serves them right. Get them all out.


And a nice trivia note on ancient "steroids" from link above.

I can understand the extreme pressure these athletes are under to win, both for personal gains as well as all the sports federations, corporate and nationalistic interests behind them. Given the direction the world is going, the pressure should only get worse in the future. That´s why we need some strong "no dope allowed - period" enforcement in all games.

p.s. hard to tell from the 50 posts in 3 days that I´ve been hooked on the Olympics...

Hamm Stands Tall in Medal Muddle - Like 2 Feet Tall 

This really surprised me, but it seems popular opinion is upholding the "right thing to do" over the "winning gold by cheating or error is just fine" attitude.



I was following the judging mess in this case at first with a suspicion for wrong doing. When many in the media started to compare the wrong Yang scoring with a football error that you cannot undo, it only made it worse. This media was much too quick to say the Hamm fiasco had nothing similar to the corrupt actions of the 2002 skating scandal. They obviously wanted to rule out the possibility by shouting it didn´t exist, rather than by investigation. If judges simply made a human error, read clean, there is no need for any of punishment, such as suspension.

I found it very suspicious that this error should happen exactly in this competition and exactly having this significant result of making Korea lose its gold and Hamm get it, after he not insignificantly fell with a thud. To make matters more suspicious, the judge responsible for the error is American. And when it couldn´t get any worse, we get reports that the other "Colombian" judge has lived and worked in Ohio for several years. One has to concur there are a lot of "coincidences" of Americans involved in the "human error" points award.

Fortunately, as in the Hamm comeback itself, several sports journalists jumped into writing some of the most get-go for ethics and sportsmanship articles and opinion pieces you´ve seen this Olympics (see links below). One surprising news report even suggested the lead came from part of the American media followed by the Koreans. I didn´t go check, but if true, kudos for those who did.

Next in the Hamm saga, the Hamm parents got protectively involved, his father stating that he didn´t know if he should warn Paul of the controversy before last night, because it might hinder his spirits, but he was afraid his son would get booed when entering the stadium. One can understand his dilemma and how he felt for his son. Then news reports came out stating Paul "bravely" said he would return his gold medal if the authorities decided he needed to do that.

So it seemed Paul was trying to do the right thing in difficult circumstances. Not only all the stress of an Olympic competition, and then this. But that was exactly before he opened his mouth and showed what an egotistical, no sportsmanship athlete he is. "This is not my issue, I won it, who cares how, and I´m upset at anyone who dares to suggest I´m not going to keep my toy. Be quiet and go away." Worse still, Paul´s mother offered a press statement defending her son, saying "he hadn´t done anything wrong, so why the big fuss with my little boy and his tarnished gold medal?"

Certainly Paul did not do anything wrong at the competition, quite on the contrary, but now that´s no longer true regarding his attitudes and actions. He didn´t ask to be thrown in this mess but he was. Now it is a different kind of meet and points are scored by honor, not petty selfishness.

As several people pointed out, he could have led the way to request Yang get a gold medal too, and he wouldn´t even lose his, even though he didn´t earn it properly. Although not the most noble, that would even spare him the sting of losing the gold he thought was his. It´s an all-around win-win solution. If he shared gold with the Korean, he would have become the symbol of sportsmanship for a lifetime. But even this has been to good for him so far. I wouldn´t want him on my Wheaties box.

What worries me, however, is that, if there was a little persuasion for such a judging mistake to occur, and Hamm is allowed to then really rob the gold from the Korean, this sends an unmistakable message to everyone: gymnastics is the sports to cheat, corrupt, and get away with it. Go for it.

Svetlana the Great - Anyone Disturbed by her Thinness? 

Slate has an interesting article on Svletana, her career, her bitterness at not winning just now. I have a question on how thin she looks.

I agree that Svetlana has fierce determination, grace, is a great gymnast, etc., etc., but was anyone disturbed about how thin she looks?

She certainly seemed full of energy in her routines, not like she had anorexia and was wasting away, and had often a brimming expression (except at the end), but she looked like she had just stepped out of a concentration camp to me.

Now that it´s over, even though she is not happy, maybe she´ll allow herself some good, hearty milkshakes and become something other than skin and bones.

By the reports we have of so many broken lives of these gymnasts after they are forced to end their often very neurotic short lived careers, I hope she finds her way in life, whatever that may be.

Consequences of Losing the Culture War 

This significant letter by Paul Weyrich clinches on so many of the most crucial problems in society today, it´s kind of amazing how he got it all in so little space. It will merit more written reflections in the future, for now, some initial thoughts only. Basically it addresses the problem that conservatives have won on political elections and lost the culture war. Therefore, it makes this political win more meaningless with each passing day.



I think this profound loss in the cultural sphere is being felt more and more with each passing day. Given that it didn´t happen overnight, and it is a war, not some smooth transition, it has taken people time to react and start devising strategies. Although it is a profound loss, it has at least served to show conservatives how important the personal sphere is. I wouldn´t want to go back to a Stepford Wives conservative scenario, which was highly oppressive and full of problems, but I certainly don´t want to live in today´s oppressive pigsty, with this garbage of homosexuals and bisexuals and the legitimation of homosexuality (in all its most dysfunctional modes) as normal, sexually degenerate/violent people, people who spit on respect and commitment regarding relationships, etc., dominating education, law, social relations.

It used to be that conservatives suppressed the truth on sexual violence, on the problems of pornography, on adultery/battering, on child abuse, on homosexuality. Now, some of them, much more than liberals, fight to get rid of the stuff and protect society from it. Liberals, who in diverse social movements led the way to making society aware of a lot of problems for women, children, sexual violence and abuse, are now the enforcers and legitimizers of a lot of dysfunctional, harmful, violent attitudes and behaviors which result not only in a very sleazy culture, but which is automatically then played out in how people act towards others.



I don´t think the current liberal, sleazy, dysfunctional dominant culture can be appropriately labeled Marxist, since, although I have hardly read Marx, the little I´ve read about him doesn´t really point in this direction. I´m not sure what Marx thought about child abuse, battering, homosexuality, pornography, prostitution, etc, but I think he was more neglectful than outright endorsing such things. I do vaguely remember having seen criticism that he was very sexist, but that was probably the extent of his thinking into these social issues.

To say that sleaze has been a fabrication of communism, therefore the "Marxism" label, is also not appropriate. The greatest sleaze "manufacturers" right now are all capitalist and liberal.

One cannot escape from seeing how hostile this capitalist/liberal culture is, how totalitarian, hypocritical, and self-serving it is, how McCarthyist it operates.

It used to be that Christianity dominated the religious/cultural scenario in the US, and so, conservatives could live under the illusion that religion pluralism was possible without major clashes in society, and that the separation of church and state would still allow them to live out their values. No more.

Having studied religion from an anthropological perspective, it has always been very clear to me how “liberalism” is very much a religion, if we consider some of the basic functions of religions in their respective societies. Religions tell people what is right and wrong, good and bad, what is allowed and what is forbidden, what reality is and isn´t. It gives them an explanation to social and individual problems. “Liberalism” does all of this, and it does it with an iron hand, which is very common with most mass religions, that is, each one states they have a hold on truth, the Absolute Truth.

I have found that most conservatives shun this anthropological framing of liberalism as a religion, perhaps because there is one aspect of liberalism that is different than Judeo-Christian religions. Liberalism does not preach anything about a God, neither does it claim to be a religion. This does not mean it does not function just like one. And what a sorry, corrupt religion it is.


Iron Hand Censorship at the Olympics - No Athlete Blogs Says IOC 

One of the most interesting developments of the rising power of weblogs. I totally disapprove of the IOC´s ironhand censorship determination.



Even if I were not opposed to the IOC´s ruling, does the IOC really think there are a lot of athletes that can run/jump/etc AND write? ;-)


Tabloid Journalism - the Cipel Poet-Sailor Label 

Had also noted this, who started the Poet/Sailor labeling of Cipel? And why did practically everyone who calls themselves a professional journalist wgo along with it?


Cipel is a poet because he wrote some poems when he was 16 (!!) and started referring to the Israeli Navy veteran as a sailor.

So he may be a homo, but still, that was some yellow labeling, given his career, however troubled it seems to be.

Premature Blogulation? 

Life in the Blogworld - from Israelli Cool

Blog Performance Anxiety - What a blogger experiences when the loading time of their blog is slow. Often occurs when the blogger uses copious amounts of third-party script on their page, the blog's server is slow, or the blogger belongs to the Gravett Empire (j/k Gary). Blog performance anxiety is particularly acute when the blogger gets linked by an established blogger, but realizes that most visitors are not patient enough to wait for the page to load.

Premature Blogulation: When you finally have that scoop you were waiting for, and immediately blog about it, only to find out later that it was not true (usually after a reader emails the relevant Snopes link).

Blog Puberty - That period of a blog's development when it experiences a major growth spurt in traffic, yet begins looking a bit awkward, due to the blogger tinkering around with the template after he/she realizes that they actually have readers.

Blog Nemesis - That other blogger with whom you have a real or imaginary intense rivalry. The blog nemesis is usually someone who began their blog around the same time as you began yours, has a similar amount of traffic as yours, writes about similar things as you do, and has not acknowledged your blog by linking to it.

Blog Standoff - A situation that occurs between you and another blogger, when you are both willing to link to each other's blogs, but are waiting for the other party to initiate. Can drag on for years.

It Looked Very Suspicious, Even Worse, Tainted - Hamm´s Gold 

This is the problem with power, money wheeling sports nowadays, in general, and with the Olympics with all the gold hungry sports folks from different sports categories.


ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Paul Hamm's gold medal just lost its luster. A scoring mistake at the all-around gymnastics final cost South Korea's Yang Tae-young the gold that ended up going to Hamm, the International Gymnastics Federation ruled Saturday. Yang got the bronze instead. Three judges were suspended, but the results will not be changed, the federation said.



This is what makes judge sports ugly.

I don´t understand a thing about gymnastics, to give an educated opinion about the issue of how Hamm and the Koreans were scored. But by the commentators, the booing in the stadium, the news articles coming out, the gold win looked questionable and even tainted right at the moment the scores came out. Now there is proof. There´s been an error. Three judges suspended. It smells foul.

So, maybe the rules don´t allow for errors that award gold medals to the wrong guy to be corrected, but in my view, that makes for a very tainted win. You can´t win on your own merit, so you have to win on some judging error? And knowing how high the stakes are for the gold win, perhaps the judges got a little incentive to make such an error?

And isn´t it disgusting how much of the media beat their drums for Hamm to keep the gold and the Korean not be awarded his, inspite of this having come to light? In a utopic world, this sleazy media would all echo:


Hamm should share gold, not Wheaties box - Ian O´Connor


Olympics trampoline - Approved with a Bounce! 

OK, so some people question the thought of having such an Olympic sport, as if sports aren´t total entertainment, so why do they want to tar and feather the trampoline? Even if it falls in the "judges decide it all" sports category, and all the issues that exist with neurotic rules, judge´s personal preferences, corruption, I still give a sound vote of approval for the trampoline as a sport.

I´ve been on a trampoline before, needless to say that my condition was not exactly athletic. I certainly found it enjoyable, but also very demanding. If you just "bounced around", as the Olympics guys look like they are doing, and didn´t concentrate and used a lot of your strength, you lost control big time.

Maybe if you are a strong athlete, the trampoline is just an easy way to do multiple flips with that wonderful feeling of having defied gravity. They sure make it look like it´s a high flying piece of cake for them.

Questions about Blind Wives of Gays 

I find this just about impossible to happen in a healthy, profound, committed relationship between a man and a woman.

Just stop to think for a second what pundits like Arianna Huffington are asking us to believe is the situation. (Interesting to note that while there was a media frenzy to go ask her what it is like for Dina McGreevey now, Huffington´s ex-husband divorced her two years before he decided to tell the world he was a homosexual).

Suppose you are this homosexual man and you feel that instead of going for therapy and other venues that can allow you to work your psychological underlying problems that make you have homosexual attractions, you a) prefer to pretend that you are heterosexual, b) decide to lie in every way possible to a heterosexual woman and deceive her about your feelings and psychological problems and if she falls for it, you give her a major emotional coup, making her into your wife, lying to her that she had married a healthy, heterosexual man, c) find someone who is willing to be paid to be your wife, knowing that you are homosexual.


Now, homosexuals tell us they either a) have no attraction to opposite sex people, a kind of numbness or inane thing or b) hate the thought of any intimacy or sexual activity with opposite sex people, a very strong type feeling.

So, back to our homosexual impostor. He starts going out with the heterosexual woman he is targeting for his farcical marriage and at every single point of the development of their relationship, he lies to her about his feelings of attraction for her. This is no small Machiavellian task. It is a full program of deceit. And when the relationship evolves to the point of having sex and intimate activities, the homosexual man is lying to his partner every single time, over and over again, regarding the most intimate activities. But he doesn´t care, because his ambitions to be taken seriously as a straight impostor are greater. For a McGreevey type, he wants power, he wants politics, he wants wealth, he therefore needs to have it all, anyway he can get it. And it makes you think about the woman. You are in bed again and again with someone who does not feel any attraction to you, and the man is faking so many feelings and real thoughts about you, and this is not just some one-night-stand, and you don´t notice? Ever?
Or is artificial insemination the way these modern gays go for now with their fake spouses? Or they don´t ever go to bed? And the wife doesn´t think that´s odd? Or she is being paid not to notice?

Taking the first hypothesis, the blind wife, this is not what I consider a healthy, intimate relationship between a man and a woman. If you have reached a certain level of depth in a relationship, and of knowing your partner, I find this is just about impossible to happen, unless, of course, the homosexual is so lacking in character that every single thing he does is aimed at deceit and nothing else. And we also have the question of denial from the woman. It might be so painful for her to realize how much this guy deceived her after some years rolled in that she may not be able to get out of her denial and spend years being blind to his homosexuality, so that one fine day she is shocked when she is told. And then we have the couples whose communication level is simple nil. They live together in the same house and are comfortable with lying to everyone and their children about the quality of their relation, so when he finally comes out, well, that was just a week before the wife found out her husband actually lives at the same address as she does.

Of course, all of this is what the pro-gay media is calling courageous, if it is performed by a homo governor.

Pro-homosexuals say the problem here (or anywhere), that is, the only problem in the world, is that the homo governor in question was not allowed to be a homo openly and marry another homo or have a string of homo one night stands or both to satisfy his homo psychology. I disagree, since I think the problem lies with his homo psychology. I also think the dogma that human beings can´t change regarding sexuality (not just sexual orientation) is false. It looks like pro-gays never study anthropology, social psychology, and personality development when it proves them wrong.

Additionally, I don´t see how being an open homo would change what McGreevey did in respect to what is being called a post appointed based on a homosexual lover demand. One thing that does not fit in the picture of the homosexual lover demand is the very nature of the post itself, homeland security. And given that Cipel is Israeli, it does raise questions. Being an open homo would not change Kushner trying to stick it to his brother-in-law with blackmail. And what would he have done regarding the vote on homosexual marriage, now that he has either acknowledged or is lying once again about his sexuality, would he vote differently? Being an open homo would not change the issues with Kushner and ties with McGreevey.

I have had to work and interact with homos and bisexuals like McGreevey, many of whom were women. They lack character, some are corrupt, they do not have any respect for anyone, they sexually harass both heterosexual and homosexual people, in short, every character problem you could imagine, they display at various times. In addition, you often see that any lack of character they have doesn´t bother them at all. They believe they have a right to do anything to anyone and justify it all on a way of thinking that states that one´s homosexual kicks are all that matters, character is irrelevant.

Maybe when hell freezes over, the media will start to report on this aspect of homo reality and let go of the gay victim card.

McGreevey - too many unanswered questions and a lot of lies 

The question I have at this point is who has what on McGreevey.
Surely, he was threatened with some kind of exposure, but it could really be different than what he claimed on his speech. McGreevey seems like the type who had a string of adulterous hetero or homo relationships up until now, not just one.
And if Cipel is homo, why aren´t there a string of rumors or facts proving it, since he is not exactly 12 yrs old?
Cipel may have been harassed, but he certainly doesn´t seem like the innocent victim type he is claiming to be. McGreevey may not have harassed Cipel, but he is no family man or nice boss.

If McGreevey is homo and wanted to give a highpaying job to one of his toyboys, why homeland security? Why call attention to it? He could appoint him to so many different jobs, and he has so many powerful millionaires who can give such jobs to a governor´s toyboy in a completely discrete manner, so it doesn´t seem very politically savvy to do so with homeland security. Now, if Cipel has something on McGreevey, then he could demand the post. And why wouldn´t he just demand a post in regular PR if he is simply a homo toyboy? And what could Cipel have on McGreevey?

Since McMcgreevey is supported by Kushner, who tried to blackmail his own brother-in-law, you would think a lot of people who can know ugly things about McGreevey do know them and may be using them in their power struggles. If Cipel had been American, that´s where my suspicions would go, McGreevey´s local family and political enemies, but Cipel being Israeli, that brings a very different set of questions to the picture.

Other powerful politicians have been brought down by "small" clerk type people in sex scandals, but Cipel doesn´t seem to fit the dumb blonde secretary type who has an affair with powerful governor and then goes for the extortion money.

Doctor who claimed to be lover of man at center of storm over NJ governor arrested  




:-))) I still cannot believe this is real... few theatrical farces measure up to this.



Reflections on the 2004 Olympics!  




The Oympics nowadays are getting so obnoxiusly high-techy, that pretty soon it will look like the Jetsons invaded the place. And I can´t get over those Freakazoid bicycle helmets... :-)

And has anyone not noticed that doping is now a rule, not an exception, amongst so many athletes? I think when it was less high tech, less full of dope, and less of this absolutely manic training 500,000 hours to do some little jump or tumbling, it was preetier.

Speaking of beauty, I really liked the Opening ceremony in the Olympics. Something of a dizzy onslaught of artsy symbols for everything, it almost seemed like a bunch of 15 second commercials strung together, but it was much more creative and visually stunning than the circus act I was expecting. I also really liked to see how they used the huge space of the stadium as a theater stage. The red minotaur and the white little boat, the blue flying man, the huge face, just some really interesting combinations of colors and objects moving through a vast theater. It was like going from watching those classic movies in your small tv to the full amplitude of a very wide cinema screen. Also the beautiful combinations of elements that translate more than the Olympics, continuity of human history, love, pregnancy, life. (Ok, so you had to be in the mood for it, but I was gently pulled into it).

Now, it was all spoiled by the stupid tv commentator, who obviously had the script of the show in his hands. As you started to wonder what was going to happen next, he would interject, "And now you will see a man appear on top of a cube," the exact second before the dingdong cube appeared, spoiling that high of surprise every single time!! (Grrr) :-)

I also kept thinking about the organizers, how they must have frantically prayed that nothing went wrong... I also hoped for no tragedies but I did keep thinking, what if the big face falls right now? and what if the water doesn´t get drained all they way? all the people wading through trying not to get their costumes wet and with an egg smile on their faces? :-)

(however, the design of that swinging torch thing was a bit too much... :-)

The McGreevey Scandal - There is nothing about homosexuality that makes anyone good 



My view is completely different than the “I don´t care about what gets done or with whom people.” I think the McGreevey scandal shows just what a mistake this self-serving blindness about personal attitudes and behaviors are.

We don’t know why McGreevey put this guy´s family at risk, and everyone else in NJ, by hiring Cipel, but apparently it has everything to do with McGreevey´s homosexuality.

People are always mixing personal attitudes, attitudes about sex and personal relations, about the opposite sex, or same sex in every sphere of their lives. What a man thinks about other men will be the groundstone for his actions regarding every man around him. If he has homosexual attitudes that sustain he must have his sexual homo kicks with other men, he can sexually harass, he can make favors to other homos, he can fire people who are not pro-homosexual, he can lie, cheat, blackmail and be subjected to blackmail, he can aggressively behave regarding his homosexuality, he can be involved in degrading relationships, etc.

When people say, I don´t care if he is gay, I don’t care what he does in his private life, they are being blind to all of the above. The personal has never been and will never be separate from the social and public sphere. In a healthy, heterosexual individual, even though it is not separate, one doesn´t think and behave in ways that are grievious towards others, even though you carry your sexual and personal attitudes everywhere you go. I don´t think that homosexuality is healthy, therefore I don´t believe there can be anything such as a healthy homosexual, even though that does not mean any homo will necessarily engage in criminal, sleazy behavior.

When people say, I don´t care if he is gay, they are being blind to every problematic and harmful attitude and behavior human beings can have in the same sex sphere from homosexuals. This is the result of homosexist society. The Jim McGreevey scandal is educational because it´s a grand display of how much harm one can do because of their (homo)sexuality.

A reporter in the media said, “ We didn´t want to go after McGreevey´s homo possibilities more incisively, because we didn´t want to be seen as homophobic.” If NJ blows up or has something happen to it because of the lack of security created in this weird homo scandal, the blame is not only on homo Mr. McGreevey, but the voters and the media who are wimpy to investigate lifestyles, attitudes and behaviors that affect more than a couple of lives in the personal sphere.

This only goes to show that people´s attitudes and actions are all important, it´s not just the public actions that count. In fact, a good deal of a person´s most important actions are all in the interpersonal sphere.

I don´t believe McGreevey´s current wife didn´t know until recently that he is a homosexual. In fact, until further proof, I´m not totally sure yet he is either homosexual or bisexual, given that there are so many big player issues involved with McGreevey and his political career. By the secrecy of the reasons for his first divorce, it seems to me, that a very plausible reason is that his first wife found out McGreevey was having some sleazy homo affair. The picture I imagine is that he lied and betrayed her on many levels. Whether Dina McGreevey married him knowing about his homosexuality or not, we have no clues, but the PR spin put out that she is a naïve woman in shock over his homo disclosure seems a completely fabricated spin to me.

Also educational are all the other aspects of this case. McGreevey, if gay, is involved in several corrupt and unethical maneuvers. There is the Cipel appointment sleaze fest, whether there is a component of sexual harassment or not. Summing it all up, a lesson in how disgusting a man can be and he is gay. For all the homo-PR spinners who have been responsible for fabricating an endless stream of victim stereotypes of homosexuals, and lying about all the real homosexual people that don´t fit these stereotypes, this is like a get real about what gays are slap in the face. This is why the military want them out, this is why it is terrible they prevail in academia. There is nothing about homosexuality that makes anyone good. McGreevey is a great lesson at that. This is also a beautiful example of just how far reaching one´s personal attitudes are and why we should care about them and their consequences.


Throughtout my life, I´ve struggled with my purple shorts - McGreevey´s stunning ace! 

OK, so let´s have a little satire, because this is too funny.


Stunning speech given by McGreevey´s "ace" that will clear any doubts if Golan Cipel is homosexual or not.
http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/223686p-192120c.html

Dr. David Miller of Livingston, fashion-conscious doctor and professor, makes stunning speech that shocks nation. Miller is the major legal card Gov. McGreevey was hiding in his stunning, moving, personal saga about having a consensual homo affair, completely adulterous, with Israeli subordinate, Golan Cipel. Cipel has threatened the governor with a lawsuit, but McGreevey´s legal team has issued another stunning statement last night claiming, "The proof is in the purple shorts."

Here are the most touching moments of Prof. Miller´s absolutely stunning disclosure, that come after the stunning McGreevey speech:

"Throughtout my life, I´ve struggled with my purple shorts. As a young child, I often felt ambivalent about myself, in fact, confused. Should I wear purple, or was yellow more becoming? Although I only give interviews in non-English, because I hate America,
at a point in every person's life, one has to look deeply into the mirror of one's soul and decide one's unique truth in the world, not as we may want to see it or hope to see it, but as it is.

And so my truth is that I am a gay "hating-America" CIA operative purple shorts American, the next poster boy for purple shorts liberation. "
===========================

We are all stunned.

Wacko doctor "admits" to being Golan Cipel´s lover 

You would think this couldn´t be reality, that it´s just too insane, too comical, too absurd, but nothing is too much in this sleazy homosexual scandal.

A majorly wacko emergency room doctor (!!! would you like to get thrown in the hands of this chap in an emergency?) claims he had an affair with Cipel, that he is the mystery man that will prove to the world that Cipel is homosexual.

What did the Daily News find out about the gay idiot? Read on and please tell me this is not reality.
http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/223686p-192120c.html


(---- that´s where Tony Soprano takes classes?)

(---- what groups, like corrupt Democrat powerbroker groups? :-)))
(---- It makes you wonder, is the guy really such a dumb gay or is he having a joke on us all? CIA operative taking tanning pills !!! LOL... Saturday Night Live, anyone?)

(---- that´s hard to guess why...)

(---- :-))) it´s too funny... " speaking Spanish because, he said, he hates the United States" LOL - So when he gets up to do his homo PR speech, will it be:
1) Feel sorry for me, because I am a gay anti-American American
2) Feel sorry for me, because I am a dumb gay American
3) Throughout my life I´ve struggled with my purple shorts, my idiocy, and my homosexuality, but I managed to get an MD degree, because I am a smart gay hating-America American. (was it bought?)

And that´s one of the exciting news bit that will prove the McGreevey camp is honest and forthright in what they are saying.

Pro-homosexual buttheads 




Except that society is not just these two neat categories hetero and homosexual, and that is why so-called homosexuals are enjoying so much fanfare. There are a lot more than 3 percent non-heterosexuals, because society´s bisexual population is growing, albeit mostly closeted. Being a woman, you get to see just how sleazy and violent and diseased women are growing in their psychology and sexuality, and becoming female McGreevey´s more and more with each passing day. They are married, pretend to be heterosexual, but they are neither entirely heterosexual nor homosexual, and they do sexually harass other women in ways that makes McGreevey seem like an altar boy.

And even if we currently have 10-20% homo and bisexuals in society, which is my estimate, sending them all to Massachusetts is too good for them, send them to Jupiter, go explore where no homo has been to before. :-)

On flipflopphobes 

and more:


If I'm afraid of Kerrytics, does that mean I am a flipflopphobe?


eheheeheeee


Great reflections on phobias, specially the homo-bi types 

(comments on scrappleface)

prettyold,
and for those of us not appreciative of (or impressed by) the "bi" types....would we be:
AC-DC-A/V-phobes

How 'bout those who fear the Jews? Would that type of a specifically diagnosed Xenophobic be known as a Zionophobic?

Now if you're afraid of Xena, Warrior Princess you would also be a Xenaphobic.

Afraid of Martin Sheen (not so much when he keeps duct tape on his yapper) You're a Sheenaphobic.

I suppose you would be a Sheenaphobic also if you feared Afro Sheen.

If a birds grooming behavior strikes fear in your heart you're a Preenaphobic.

I'm suddenly reminded of "YEEEAAARRRRGGGGG" and realized I AM admittedly a "Deanophobic"

I was thinking earlier about how to briefly address this issue, tactfully on the air and realized that the 4,000 some Gavie Nuisance sanctioned marriage licenses are as valuable now as a $3 bill. Which also happens to be a term used when describing same gendered individuals of the "flaming" variety.
tee hee.

Oh, and in closing: if a homosexual is fearful of homogenized milk are they ALSO homophobic?

Golan: I am a gay Israeli boy toy (serving a corrupt gay American) 

(comments on scrappleface)

Oh, and is McGeevey's assistant doing/working a Mcjob?

Posted by: Ms RightWing
====================================
One news article said he was on a plane to Israel before he could say, "I am a gay Israeli boy toy ( serving a corrupt gay American)."

And another said McGreevey dumped Golan for someone else, that´s when things started getting ugly. Let´s hope they develop more on that.

So, in the balance so far, we have outed the highest corrupt gay American public servant (don´t you love the expression "public servant" as it applies to corrupt officials?) and the highest foreign gay prostitute, a slightly different sort of public servant.

On the other hand, the US$50 million deal stuff, suggests Golan is not just a gay boy toy alone to make a buck with his dysfunctional gayness, but more powerful forces were operating behind him (pun unintended).

And... McGreevey´s PR people are feeding the news that the governor´s innocent wife only found out about homo hubby a couple of weeks back, but... they reported about the broken leg scandal, "Back when he first ran for governor in 1997, there was talk that he had been busted by a New York City vice squad. When he broke his leg walking along the beach in Cape May shortly after being elected, the official line was that the governor was with his wife, Dina. Insiders told a more intriguing story. They said the governor was romping on the beach with another man, not his wife. Dina, the rumors said, had to be transported to the scene by helicopter."

Awww.. she never ever ever had a clue about homo hubby... she´s is so stupid and innocent...

did anyone notice how not in shock she was at the press conference?

And why does a gay guy break a leg as he romps, may we ask?

McGreevey - being gay is not a disgrace, unless you find lack of character and corruption a disgrace 



Being gay is a dysfunction and homos cannot be stereotyped into any particular thing, much less as "good" people. It is a crippling disease in the sense that it does not allow humans to have a fulfilled, healthy heterosexuality. It is a disease when people start to be blind to every aspect of a person´s psychology, ethics, and character, and simply want to applaud them because they are homosexual.

The question is, if a heterosexual politician who set up one or more of his lovers/prostitutes as high paid security advisors was faced with an impending lawsuit after one of these lover/prostitutes failed to extort a huge amount of money for the (unethical) sexual relations, and the politician resigned stating he was doing it because he cared so much about the people and office of his state, would he be called corageous?

McGreevey - It is Sad to Resign When You Have So Little Ethics... so unfair 



Obviously Rodney has no sense of ethics in the personal sphere. Clinton didn´t just get a bjob, he had who knows how many extra-marital affairs, he cheated, he lied, he demeaned and exploited women, including the equally lacking in character of his wife, who apparently was too politically ambitious to care or take a stand.

It is sad, when people instead of correcting who is wrong, find it is injustice that more Clintons and McGreeveys don´t go on and on with their lack of ethics. It is sad that Clinton wasn´t forced to resign. What a great day that would have been for humanity and for people who uphold ethics.

McGreevey - what a great day!  



I don´t think it is OK to be homosexual, nor to cheat, lie, have affairs, sexually harass, employ corrupt politicians. Homosexuals are desperate to legimitize their homosexuality (and whatever lack of ethics that´s involved in it), so they are necessarily blind to every aspect of life and behavior, except the fanatical sexual orientation aspect. A corrupt, unethical man is propped up as a hero, because he had a high government post and is playing the "feel sorry for me" card, in order not to be held accountable for how much he stinks in every aspect of his personality and job.

How can a man that lies his entire life to everyone around him be called forthright is a sign of how in denial pro-homosexuals are.

McGreevey - How many homo affairs? How unethical can he get? 

One of the things that is most disgusting in a scandal like this is the public reaction in the lines of "we don´t want to know about anything that is ugly in the picture."
Inquiring minds would like to know how many affairs has McGreevey had?
If Cipel is his homo lover who is now threatening to sue McGreevey, how many other
Cipel´s are there?
Isn´t it just disgusting how the framing of the scandal is for McGreevey´s so-called
"plight" in lying about having all kinds of psychological and sexual dysfunctions, i.e., being homosexual, and not about how he cheats, corrupts, sets up homo prostitutes as advisors, etc?
And after all of this, he plays the "feel sorry for me, I was forced to be a closeted homo", don´t look at any aspect of my lack of character, my lack of ethics, my sexual dysfunctions, my corrupt politics, just feel sorry and wail for me, because I´m so forthright and corageous...
Isn´t it disgusting that he is being called as "forthright" for saying he is a homosexual, when he only did this because he was up against the wall with an impending homo extortion/sexual harassment suit?

As usual, one of the best comments on this was on Scrappleface.
