I'm done with the GOP

For the record I am a registers Independent. My political views don't fit in any cookie cutter description of a political party. Recently though I can honestly and without shame say I was Republican Lite. Not Lieberman lite, super ultra light, with extra large filter. Historically I've identified more with the center/left of the Republican Party. But as of today I've lost any feelings I had for the GOP.
This ban on Gay marriage is the last straw for me. Government should not be involved in the business of whose marrying who. Last I checked this is a free country, and gays marrying has no adverse affect on anybody. It just blows my mind when people say shit like,"Gay marriages devalue my marriage." What devalued your marriage is the fact you fucked your mother, married her and now that kid is your half brother and son. Now thats devaluing marriage. Two queers getting hitched has no negative affect on Americans. Where as the mother-fucker in the above example, can cause serious damage in society. And Ohh by the way, its legal cause its a man and woman. Gimme a break I'm tired of the bullshit.
I do acknowledge that when America was founded its laws and values were Judeo Christian based. But that was over 200 years ago, the beauty of American is its ability to evolve and reshape to the peoples needs. If I remember my 3rd grade history correctly, isn't the Constitution a "Living and Breathing Document". For all intensive purposes this proposed amendment is legalized discrimination. This country was founded for the purpose of non-discrimination. As long as your not interfering with anyone else, do whatever the hell you want. Doesn't this amendment contradict that notion? Let me add...has in it crossed anyones mind that the notion of defining marriage in the Constitution is utterly ridicules to begin with? While we're at it, why dont we pass and amendment the defines what the definition of "sexual relations" is. Cause I've been really confused since the whole Clinton thing a few years back.

Horns & Halos

This is what CineMax has to say about the film. Use the following link to get the scheduled show times, by typing in the name of the film in the search field at the top of the page.

This award-winning documentary captures the unlikely connection between the U.S. President, a discredited author and an underground publisher whose paths to power and popularity crossed over a book: Fortunate Son, J.H. Hatfield's unauthorized biography of George W. Bush. The odyssey of Hatfield and underground New York City publisher Sander Hicks to get bookstores to carry the tome--and get much-needed publicity to help drive sales for the new edition in the 2000 presidential election year--is the focus of this entertaining and ultimately shocking verite film.

I hope you can catch it, cause its worth your while.

Dark Knight

I found this article about Frank Miller's Batman. Specifically his two books The Dark Knight Returns and The Dark Knight Strikes Again. I've read this books myself and I highly recommend them to any fan of comics. But these books go beyond the "comic book fan". Batman and the "superheros" of the books are used as a medium to tell a story, and make a point. If those who dismiss comics as juvenile, took the time to look beneath the surface. They may come to realize what many of us already know.
Eventhough the article by Peter Sanderson sometimes reads like a research paper, I loved it. He did a great job of breaking it down. I warn you though, his article is full of spoilers. Hope you like it, cause I sure did.

What the fuck!?!?

I saw this article, and was like "No". Then I mentioned it to Xia and she was like "No Way". Then we mentioned it to a friend of ours and she was like "Get Out".
Finally after all of us read the article we were like "What the Fuck!?!?"

I dont need to add anything more to this. You can come up with your own conclusions.

Lets Get Rollin Again

Don't know if anyone knows or cares for that matter, but its been way to long inbeteen post. But alas their is good reason. After my last post I burned the knuckle on my index finger, with hot oil making French fries (I wonder, where have I heard this story before?). Nasty burn, with nasty results. As a result of the ensuing boil, it was a pain to type. A few days later after the burn healed, and I was able to type something worse happened. I caught a case of the "baugities". For those of you out of the loop "baugities" is a bad case of laziness. I didn't want to touch the internet let alone this blog. Sometimes I get into those funks were, everything I love, I must leave for extended periods of time. Its has happened to just about everything that I like, except of course for Xia. This time it was the internet. Over ten days without the net, and I'm refreshed. I most be going through some sort of emotionally cleansing, or something. Well its over now, and I'm back. I got something to talk about and some reviews to give, so this week should be good.
best,
dan
PS Lets send some love to Cal, Star, and Yola, and hope all is going well. We've been calling for the last couple of days and nobody picks up. Drop me a line. We don't have your cell phones #'s.
