Mike's Blog Round Up

Hello, all ye scamps and scoundrels of Crooks and Liars. I'm your round-up guest host for the week, Melissa McEwan, otherwise known as Shakespeare's Sister (that's a Smiths' and Woolf reference, not an egregious bit of braggadocio, cheeky gits!), the bare-knuckled proprietress of Shakesville—a group blog absolutely chock-a-block with shameless purveyors of libertine feminism and the radical gay agenda. Buckle up; off we go…
An Angry Black Bitch has a Very Good Question about the unholy marriage between corporations and the US government—and ponders how it relates to the suspension of habeas corpus.

Blowvember is shaping up to give Cocktober a run for its money as sex-drenched conservative scandals continue to roll like clockwork. As always, Blogenfreude is your go-to guy for the running tally.

Relatedly, Libby Spencer finds herself suffering sex scandal fatigue, while Pam Spaulding catches up with Bob Allen and Senator Larry Craig's alleged boytoy, David Phillips.

Meanwhile, outside the closet, where lion-hearted LGBTQers seek protection from this charming Moral Majority, the legislative journey of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) continues to be controversial, as the Senate version will also exclude gender identity. Autumn Sandeen provides a great round-up of recent ENDA viewpoints.

In other news, there appears to be some sort of presidential campaign going on, and nobody seems to like anyone. Steve M. remembers why he loathes Joe Biden, Jill grouses about Hillary's campaign plant, and Mustang Bobby kicks around Giuliani and his BFF Bernie.

Finally, if you've got that Sciencey cum Christmassy feeling, go visit PZ, who's got the latest in the War on Christmas. For Sciencey cum Islamofascisty, Mike the Mad Biologist is your next stop.

That's all for today. Seeya tomorrow! If you've got any hot tips, email me at shakespeares_sister at Comcast dot net.

Where's Mike?

Nicole Belle: Mike is currently on tour in Europe with Joe Cocker. Since internet connectivity is a hit or miss thing when on the road, Mike has asked some of his friends and co-bloggers to fill in in his absence.

Ted Rall . . . . "Bush should never appear on any list of American presidents. When he dies, his carcass shouldn't receive a state funeral. It ought to be thrown in the trash."

Woot!!

*************************************************
And yet this blog continues to link to Aravosis who not only opposed TG inclusion as a matter of legislative priorities but went on to deny they play any part in the larger Gay Rights movement and works hard to specifically exclude TGs from all LGBT actions and to portray them as a group ultimately unworthy of equal rights. This is not just my opinion, it can easilly be verified by even a cursory inspection of the hate he has written lately. This blog does not link to FOTF because they hate the gay community, it does not link to the Klan because they hate minorities so tell me, why would it link to a man who is an avowed hater of TGs, who has stated that he believes that he has "nothing in common" with TGs?

Just wondering

When people look for a presidential canidate they want to see a leader; not of lemmings but of men. I just don't want to jump off a cliff with some hairbrained chick like Hillary. I want somebody who will take a stand and let me know where they are leading me. There isn't a single canidate out there saying what they mean and will back it up with the truth when they were in office. I'd like to vote for Bush again he just needs to grow a spine.

Angry Black Bitch has got it right. A government that fears its people is how it should be, not the other way around. When people look for a presidential candidate they want someone that does their bidding. Not the bidding of the corporations like the majority of *ssholes in office now.

My favorite scene from John Waters' Female Trouble is when Dawn Davenport get's pissed off for not getting the Cha-cha heals she wanted for Christmas and in a "sacrilegious" rant against her parents and Christmas, Dawn throws the X-mas tree on top of her mother. The mother moans "Dawn no, not on Christmas, no, not on Christmas, not on Christmas..". John Waters is the original when it comes to choking up the defamation of Christmas. One of the most hilarious moments ever on film!
