Time is a many splintered thing...

It is incredible that so much time has passed since my last post. I am in awe of people who do this daily.
I went on a cruise with a bunch of Air America's Randi Rhodes fans...to Alaska. It was a trip (well duh, it was a trip). Alaska is beautiful and it is amazing to be on a large ship. We had some of the best weather possible-came back with a little color! The lefties on the ship were fun and spirited. We ate dinner with a very nice hetero couple from San Diego. The "we" I am referring to is myself and my 85 year old father. I was pleased to find quite a few gay and lesbian fans among the 200. Randi was not really available to talk with, but it was still enjoyable to know that she was aboard.
MY RANT: The most important thing for people to do now,in my mind, is to fight the complacency and ignorance of most Americans. It is easy for these people to accept whatever bullshit the Republicans throw at them; fear of impending terror event (which is inevitable, the need for war in Iran, the weakness of the Democrats, the need to suspend the Constitution, higher taxes for the middle class (Alternative Minimum tax)fear of the HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA...or maybe something new. We must throw ourselves behind the Democratic candidate, whomever it may be, and fight fight fight. I refuse to give this country to the right wing. Perhaps the youth will realize the load of crap they have been sold,and the fact that buying things does not make people happier, prettier or smarter. (It just makes them in debt.) They will have to wake up to the fact that they have to be a part of making this world better,and not just their own pocketbook. But some call me a dreamer....
Anyone in LA this weekend and want to support some funny broads, ck out the Broad Humor Film Festival in Venice. broadhumor.com

May Day-or Make My Day

Fun to watch the sparks fly with George Tenet. Name calling, hair pulling. Is it WWF or what? I am excited about all the crumbling that is occurring within the Bush Administration-unfortunately Cheney and Rove seem to be bullet proof. I hope against hope I am wrong on this. Those two are EV"IL. But maybe there is hope with Gonzales....
And after watching Penn and Teller's BULLSHIT last night, where they paid illegal immigrants to build a boarder fence and then get over, under and through it, I am convinced that the government has the brain power of a nat. Not to mention those idiots who sit on the border protecting the country from the terrorism of low paid workers! Well maybe those minutemen are right....they are paid to little.
Meanwhile, I have to find a way to politely tell a distant family members that I can not go to their wedding until it becomes legal for gay people to be married. I am on a wedding boycott. But do I send a gift? What is the etiquette in this situation? Please send a comment if you have an answer!


Hey, anyone with a sense of humor and adventure should join me on a cruise to Alaska with about 200 other Air America/Randi Rhodes fans. It is in August and I would love if people under 50 would come along! Check it!
