August 17, 1977 - The Day After Elvis Died Print E-mail
Friday, 17 August 2007

  elv_nixon
On December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley, loaded on several prescription narcotics, paid a visit to President Richard M. Nixon at the White House in Washington, D.C. The meeting was initiated by Presley, who wrote Nixon a six-page letter requesting a visit with the President and suggesting that he be made a "Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.
Nixon, who set the FBI on John Lennon at one point, of course, thought it offered great PR opportunities. And thus the great meeting came to pass.

And then, on August 16, 1977, the King was dead from heart arrest, brought on by obesity and a monumental drug habit. I was working at the Record Factory, a record store in Colma, just south of San Francisco, at the time. The day after the King died, there was a crowd of about thirty people out in front of the store before we opened.

 
Q: How Many Closets Will You Find in a Republican Household? Print E-mail
Thursday, 09 August 2007
A: Well,  how many men are in the household? smirks4

Another family-values Republican exposed as being homosexual. Will it never end? 

Attention gentle Christians: ALL OF YOUR REPUBLICAN AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS ARE g-a-y, gay, GAY, GAY!!!
At least
our queens are upfront about it. Vote Democratic!

Glenn Murphy, Jr., in the upper left of this picture, the recently elected chairman of the Young Republican National Federation (also the RNC Chair for Clark County, Indiana and formerly the YRNF Secretary) has been accused of sexually assaulting a sleeping man. Immediately following the accusation, he came up with an unrelated reason to resign, and the YRNF cleansed their website of his name.

Allegedly, Murphy and another YR were drunk and crashing at Murphy's sister's house. The other man apparently awoke in the morning to find Murphy giving him a non-consensual blow job. The Clark County (Indiana) Sheriff's Department is charging Murphy with "criminal deviate conduct", a Class B felony.

Taking Down Words, an Indiana blog, has been following this guy for some time. And guess what? Apparently this isn't the first time his mouth has ended up on someone's privates while they were asleep. Glenn Murphy has a prior arrest for sexual battery. Here's the 1998 Clark County police report. A snippet, for your entertainment

Be sure to click on the links. Apparently, the Young Republicans are scrubbing the site of any reference to him. Just like when male prostitute Jeff Gannon was hired by the right-wing Texas website Talon News Services to sit in the White House steno, I mean, press pool. (click on read more for answers)

 
The Di-dee Senator, David Vitter, R-Louisiana Print E-mail
Monday, 16 July 2007

It has been reported that Senator David Vitter, R-Lousiana, was fond of being diapered by prostitutes he hired from the call-girl operation run by Deborah Jeane Palfrey, otherwise known as the DC Madam.

Now, when I first heard that another Repube had been caught in a sex-scandal, I thought it inconsistent with what is known about the modern Republican Party: the prostitutes in question were neither (a) male, nor (b) underage.

But then I heard about the diapers and it all fell into place.

Here is the Senator, safe and cozy at the hotel.
Soon it will be time for a bottle and jammies, and di-dee change!*

And here are some of his ads from a few years ago,  reminding us that the Senator is an All-American Family Man. The first ad is particularly appropriate. Thank you, Talking Points Memo.

*Disclaimer: I did not photoshop Vitter's face onto a picture of Karl Rove's body here. Rove is much fatter and whiter. 

 
Requiem For A Dream--In Memory of Martin Luther King Print E-mail
Wednesday, 04 April 2007

Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated on this day thirty-nine years ago, by the same forces behind the JFK assassination, and the RFK assassination which would take place about two months after the King killing.

In the illustration below, I was going to put some text above the black-and-white squinty-killer-eyes  ... but really what is there to say? This is what we were and this is what we've become? The killers, the shills, the bagmen, the finks, the marketers and the chumps have done an amazing job over the last 40+ years.
