Sat, 7 October 2006 Hello, friends, family, listeners, and others ... yes, I am still alive and doing very well. So, well in fact, that if I was any busier ... I'd have to kill myself. Just Kidding! :-) Once again, freelance software engineering work is kicking my ass, but it is extra cash ... or at least going toward paying off my laptop, and now it is paying off my new PDA, a Dell Axim x51. This freelance, and life in general, is keeping me kinda busy, but at least it keeps me off the streets and outta the bars. By the way, I joined an HIV/AIDS Vaccine Study, and it's a 4.5 year committment. I could be getting the placebo, or I could be getting the real vaccine. I won't know for another 5-6 years. I don't expect anyone to do this. It is a deeply personal decision, and if you have a partner, it is something you should discuss with them. Since I am single, and will be for some time, and since I will be living in the same place for a long time to come ... I figure I would get involved. It's the least I can do to give back to my community ... other than podcasting. To me, the big news isn't Foley, or the elections, but the 'Military Commission Act of 2006.' What's even more disgusting is the asshole democrats who voted for it because of mid-term elections. Hopefully, the United States Supreme Court of the land will strike down this law even though Alberto Gonzalez has threatend judges to NOT question the Presidents Authority. Well ... until this law goes away ... welcome to a 'police state.' In other news, Lawyer Says FCC Ordered Study Destroyed. This document would have shown that consolidation of media companies owned by one corporation would be very BAD for the consumer and American in general. I mean obviously, if the radio, tv, and print media were all owned by the same people, you' get one opinion on the world view. Of course, everyone and the media is discussing this douche-bag. He's not gay, I reject that. He's an Ephebophile which means he likes teenage boys. Yeah .... I am a gay man, and I think a lot of teenage boys are attractive, but at 39 (almost 40), I prefer someone closer to my own age. Thanks to Mark Foley, the Christian right-wing can once again try to link homosexuality in men to Pedophilia. Thanks Mark Foley for fucking life up for the rest of us queers who have always been out, loud, and proud. Of course, the GOP is trying to cover their ass (poorly), blame conspiracy theory, blaming the victim, and not take personal responsibility for their failures. The democrats need to leap on this so much. "If they can't protect our own children, how can they protect us from terrorists!" If this was a democrat, the GOP, and all the Neo-Cons, and the christian-evangelicals would be having an old-time Crucifixion , and condeming all democrats. Now 58 percent think that President Bush and the Administration lied about the Iraq war. 42% are still dumb-fucks, and 57% took 3.5 years to figure that out. The last 1% knew this was bullshit all along. It hasn't beena good week for Republicunts ... maybe, I am just venting, but I hope they do more than lose both Houses this election. I sincerely hope that these Republicunts all burn in the hottest part of Hell. But I'm not bitter ....
