And I'm right back in your face. Stole that from a chant from one of the gay marches held a few years back. "We're here, we're queer and we're in your face!!" Guess I'm here and in your face. Two out of three ain't that bad. Speaking of here and queer, let's look at the news.
I will debate anywhere, any time, any
place. .
.
Remember how the democrats used to challenge everyone and anyone to a debate anywhere and any time? Things haven't changed too much, but. . .
Presidential Candidates In First Ever Gay
Debate; by 365Gay.com; Newscenter Staff;
July 10, 2007
. . . but they have changed.
(Los Angeles, California) For the first time
the
leading candidates for the presidency will hold
a televised debate devoted solely to LGBT
issues. The one-hour event will be held on
August 9 and broadcast on gay network LOGO
at 9:00 pm ET (6:00 pm PT) and through live
streaming video at LOGOonline.com.
Don't you just love this? Edwards, Broom
Hillary, and Obama as well as the rest of the
democrat candidates REFUSED to debate on
the FoxNewsChannel. They cited possible
unfair questions. You sort of have to wonder
if the questions from these people will be fair.
I would think they might be just a bit biased (waving handerchief).
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John
Edwards have confirmed they will participate.
Several other Democratic candidates also may
join the debate.
The debate will be conducted with a live
audience in Los Angeles. On the panel
questioning the two Democrats will be Human
Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese
and singer Melissa Etheridge.
The more the merrier, right? Shall we steal a line from the ol' Flintstones theme song. "We'll have a gay ol' time."
"In the 2008 presidential election, issues
of
concern to the LGBT community have already
been at the forefront of the national
conversation," said Solmonese.
"From the repeal of "Don't ask, Don't Tell"
to the recent signing of a civil unions bill in
New Hampshire, there is no doubt that voters
will demand answers to important questions
affecting our community."
Wish they would put it to the voters, because every time it's tried, it fails.
The panelists in a statement said they plan
to
cover a range of issues including relationship
recognition, marriage equality, workplace
fairness, the military, hate crimes, HIV/AIDS
and other important issues.
The LGBT vote is considered a decisive
electoral force and according to exit poll data
make up approximately 4 percent of the
voting population.
Yep, important issues all right. Only thing missing in the debate arenas so far is a debate on the Animal Sex Channel. This group very well might make up a huge voting block, except Lassie needs a new photo ID. She ate her old one. Rest assured, the democrats will be out to get their vote as well. (Woof Woof)
And more of that serious Global
Warming
You can toggle back through the last few weeks of commentaries and see the global warming news. I just want to post one more because of the recent Live Earth concert on the dangers of global warming.
Buenos Aires sees rare snowfall,
BBCnews.co.uk; Tuesday, 10 July 2007
Global warming issues just won't go away. Every time these alarmist open their mouths, something happens to lend it credibility.
Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, has
seen
snow for the first time in 89 years, as a cold
snap continues to grip several South
American nations.
To be fair, I understand the snow was actually warm (rolling eyes).
Temperatures plunged to -22C (-8F) in
parts
of Argentina's province of Rio Negro, while
snow fell on Buenos Aires for several hours
on Monday.
Now that is some serious warming!
Bitterly cold weather in May caused some 20
deaths and forced the Argentine authorities
to ration supplies as the country's energy
system came under strain.
Anyone want to go down to Argentina and warn them that it's getting hotter and hotter? I'd sure hate for anyone to get heat stroke in sub zero temperatures.
What about. . . ???
I am adding a new feature to the commentary called "What About..?". Every so often (like everyday) the mass media goes in "one direction" mode and continue denigrating a certain group of people. Either it's the military, or "angry white males" or Christians or those in a particular political group. Like the following:

Both stories appeared on the CBSnews.com website July 10th. Note that one article happened in April, but CBS chose to remind of us of the event.
Anyone see anything strange here? There
you go again Eye, trying to find a dark cloud.
This DC madam has been running this escort service for 13 years and look at the reporting. Come on Eye, you are such a
Republican aplogist. No I'm not really. What's wrong is wrong, on either side of the aisle. However there is a problem here. What is then Eye? Just what the hell is it??
So it begs the question What about. . .?
Well, what about the democrats? After 13 years and $2 million in revenue generated by this DC madam, there are only 2 people being reported on, both happen to be Republicans. I find it a little hard to believe there were/are no democrats in the list. Keep an eye on this, but don't hold your breath on seeing any Democrats being outed. Wanna know something else a little strange. ONLY 2 Republicans? That's it. Don't you think if there were more the list would have outed each and every one of them? Anyone want to make book on which party dominates the list?
