Wrong, The Answer Is Simple

Another possible epidemic is in the news.  This time in the desert.  Palm Springs desert.  In this instance use of the word epidemic is almost justified.

The headline, in The Desert Sun, reads, “?Not a simple answer? for desert?s syphilis problem." That statement, a quote from one Tri Do.  Well, Tri, let’s look at the problem, as it’s stated within the article.

"There isn?t just one, or even a few factors fueling the epidemic:

Drugs, particularly crystal meth, have been linked to some cases, but not all. The same goes for anonymous sex and alcohol—they?re additional risk factors but they?re not linked to every case of desert syphilis.

Research suggests that some gay men are no longer concerned about HIV and AIDS and have grown tired of the safe sex message. Health officials say an increasing number are participating in high-risk sexual behavior at resorts or bath houses, or through meetings initiated over the Internet.

Even if men are heeding the safe sex message, the disease can get around it. Condoms don?t necessarily stop the spread of syphilis."

The simple answer.  Judas Priest, don’t do those things.

Drudge, again.

Do They Qualify for Cult Status?

Did you know that the Prohibition Party is still out there operating?  That’s out there.  A couple of recent statements, uttered by one of their candidates (there’s a party split) for VP, Leroy Pletten.

"In the Sterling Heights Library conference room, he displayed the Surgeon General’s list of harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke, including hydrogen cyanide—“This is what Hitler used to kill the Jews”—and carbon monoxide—“That’s what Kevorkian would use to kill you.”

“It’s deadly poison,” he said, his voice rising, arms gesturing. “It’s intended to kill. It would be called a weapon of war if Saddam Hussein had stockpiled it to use on our troops.”

While other researchers might disagree with the cause and effect, Pletten claims smoking produces many of society’s problems as an addiction for alcoholics (90 percent), convicted criminals (90 percent), women who suffer miscarriages (80 percent) and divorced people (53 percent).

Gay marriage “is a smoker’s problem, too,” he claimed. By his reasoning, smoking causes what he considers aberrant behavior, including homosexuality. Ban smoking, he said, and there would be no demand for gay marriage."

“Election is no party for Prohibition candidate"

This Will be an Interesting Fight

The Washington Times headline reads, “Gay leaders to fight proposed ballpark," referring, of course, to the impending move of the Expos to D.C.

Unfortunately, for the homosexual community, their “entertainment” district stands in the way.  If they can’t be bought out, they’ll be eminent domained out.

Bend Over and Kiss Your Ass Goodbye

The phrase which acts as the title to this post, was a phrase philosophically bandied about when discussing possible catastrophic failure of the hull of the submarine I was attached to while serving in the U.S. Navy.

John Kerry demonstrates the maneuver here, while pretending to hike a football.
