NOM Fund Raising with Lies

September 3, 2010September 29, 2018 210 Views 0 Comments Maggie Gallagher, Marriage, National Organization for Marriage, Nom, stop8.org

I know it will shock you to learn that the National Organization for Marriage is running a radio ad to, among other things, raise money, with a complete stream of lies. So, are you off the floor yet (I know you fell over when you heard). So, many thanks to Matt from stop8.org who took the time to analyze their ad, statement by statement to point out the lies. I guess that old “baring false witness” thing isn’t important if your fighting teh gayz. I mean some sins are worse than others, so if you have to commit one fight one, it’s must be OK, because they’re all Christian.

Focus on Your Family Wants to Maintain Right to Beat Up Gay Kids

September 2, 2010September 29, 2018 227 Views 0 Comments Anderson Cooper, focus on the family

That’s right folks. The good christian people at Focus on the Family don’t want schools to have effective anti-bullying campaigns because they want to be sure their kids can continue to beat up kids who are or are perceived to be gay. Oh they try to dress it up in nice words saying they want safe schools for everyone, but if you go around and tell kids it’s not OK to beat up the gay kids, then you’re teaching them that being gay is OK.

Tim Curtis Gets My Vote for U.S. House

August 4, 2010 B. John 236 Views 1 Comment 11th congressional district, Cathy Castor, Tim Curtis

OK, I admit I’d not given much thought to the Democratic Primary for 11th Congressional District. I’m not overly impressed with Cathy Castor, but she’s generally socially progressive, so I expected to vote for her. I frankly didn’t even know she had an opponent. That changed tonight, and Tim Curtis has earned my vote.

The Kids are All Right – A Movie Review

August 1, 2010 B. John 245 Views 0 Comments Annette Bening, Drama, Josh Hutchersonkn, Julianne Moore, LGBT, Lisa Cholodenko, Mark Ruffalo, Mia Wasikowska

Two teenaged children conceived by artificial insemination get the notion to seek out their birth father and introduce him into the family life that their two mothers have built for them. Once the donor is found, the household will never be the same, as family ties are defined, re-defined, and then re-re-defined. This was an excellent movie which I highly recommend with some caveats.

Inception-A Movie Review

July 20, 2010August 10, 2015 238 Views 0 Comments Action/Adventure, Christopher Nolan, Drama, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Science Fiction/Fantasy and Thriller

Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible — inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

Busy Weekend

June 23, 2010September 29, 2018 233 Views 0 Comments Birthday, Choral Music, Men's Chorus, Una Voce

This past weekend was rather busy around this household. The biggest event was Sunday when we had our niece’s 4th birthday party here at the house. Saturday night we attended the Una Voce Florida Men’s Chorale concert. The concert title was “Harmonia Mundi” or music of the world. After the concert, we went over and picked up the nephews to spend the night. Whew! As soon as everyone left Sunday and all the trash was stashed, I sat down in my favorite chair, and was out light like a light for about two hours.

Say It To My Face Orrin Hatch

Here’s the first in a brand new series here at Deep Something. I’m sick and tired of hearing the Republicans and krazy kristian kooks like the American Family Association and Tony Perkins and many others just make shit up about gay people and the issues faced by LGBT people in this country (and around the world). They do it because they get to try to hide behind press releases, podiums, security and websites. So I’ve decided to call them out. I’m going to find a number and do my best to get through to them or their staff person, and I intend to respectfully and thoughtfully challenge them to say it to my face (or at least over the phone).

Rush Tells Hungry Kids To Go Dumpster Diving

June 18, 2010August 10, 2015 223 Views 0 Comments Children, Dumpster Diving, Hunger, Rush Limbaugh

Rush on his show getting bent out of shape about the fact that 16 million children will go hungry this summer without their school lunch. Since he can’t miss a chance to slam any Obama, he proceeds to say that since Michele Obama thinks kids are too fat, maybe it would be good for these kids to go hungry all summer. Yes, he suggests they go dumpster diving. The irony of someone Rush’s size suggesting it would be good for fat children to go hungry all summer pales with the knowledge that Rush himself has fed at the public trough. Yes friends, there was a time when Rush was out of work and using food stamps and unemployment checks to sustain himself.

This is a letter written to Republican House Member Todd Akin in response to remarks he made today in a floor speech concern the possible repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Funny thing, we owe our victory over the British to a Gay General, and Akin wants to invoke Washington and what he would think.

Robin Hood – A Movie Review

May 17, 2010 B. John 222 Views 0 Comments Action, Adventure, Cate Blanchett, Danny Huston, Eileen Atkins, Kevin Durand, Mark Addy, Mark Strong, Max von Sydow, Oscar Isaac, Ridley Scott, Russell Crowe, William Hurt, William Marshall

“Robin Hood” chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard’s army against the French. Upon Richard’s death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion, a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Robin Hood delivers what it promises. Solid action, good narrative, and the inclusion of a bit of history with action between England and France gives the movie an added meat and almost realistic feel to it. The dialog is a bit ropey at times, and Robin’s “merry men” could have had a bit more screen time, but otherwise i see no major fault with this movie.

If you’ve ever played any of the old school video games, Tetris, Pacman, Donkey Kong and others, you’ll love this video. The effects are amazing. It’s what would happen if the Pixels took over New York City. Look for characters from Space Invaders, Pacman, Tetris, Arkanoid, Donkey Kong, and Frogger.
