First up features my local representative, Steve Buyer, comparing smoking tobacco to smoking dried lettuce, I shit you not:

It was also the year I was called on-stage while my punk-ass friends neglected to use my camera to get a shot of me while on stage. Yeah. Thanks, friends.

Here is the result of the 843 shots I took. The lighting last year was rather low for most of the scenes, quite unlike the year before. That’s why there’s only (“only”!!) 280 shots I deemed worthy of publishing online. You can pick your own favorites. (Note: Some I marked as Adult Content, so you’ll have to verify your age through Flickr to see them. I think.)

This year’s Drag Show will be THE TENTH ANNUAL DRAG SHOW! I hope to see you there!

Malvina Reynolds, made most famous amongst this generation via the intro song to the teevee show, “Weeds”. Oh, but she was so much more revolutionary.

People of good intentions and progressive predilection are scratching their heads wondering just how President Barack Obama managed to turn himself into George W. Bush Lite with sugar-on-top just twelve weeks after that fateful walk down the US Capitol’s east stairway to the waiting helicopter. I’m hardly the first observer to note that Mr. Obama’s actions in the face of an epochal finance fiasco and economic collapse are a mere extension of the pre-January-20 policies, carried out by much the same cast of characters.

The only other person I’ve seen go up against Chomsky with any sort of hope for at least a draw was Michel Foucault, in their debate over Justice and Power.

On the flip side, the majority of the state of California voted to WRITE INTO THEIR CONSTITUTION A BAN AGAINST SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.

How can a constitution DENY RIGHTS?

So now, all the tens of thousands of couples who already entered into the marriage contract may be told, “Whoops! It turns out you’re actually NOT citizens! Your marriage is annulled! Sorry! But we can still be neighbors and friends and co-workers, right?”

What. The. Fuck.

You want to talk about change?

How about recognizing ALL citizens as having inalienable rights?

GET OUT AND VOTE!

Today (Saturday) was Octoberfest for Greater Lafayette, Indiana, and it turned out to be a great turn-out. Most surprising for me was the number of Obama supporters. The Democrats (and Republicans) had a booth and sold campaign yard signs and the number of folks walking around with Obama signs FAR out-weighed the McCain signs. WHICH IS A REALLY GREAT THING.

I would rather have two individuals who know what the fuck they’re doing than an old guy who’ll, let’s face it, probably die while in office, leaving, let’s face it, again, an incompetent, inexperienced eye-winker/flirter.

Don’t fucking FLIRT with me—help me change our country!

4 more years of the last 8 year’s shit?!

I THINK NOT!

And tonight The Partner and I helped to celebrate a friend’s and my 28th birthday!

28!!
