The Absolute Worst of New York: The Village Voice
The Village Voice The Voice was launched by Ed Fancher, Dan Wolf, and Norman Mailer on October 26th 1955 in a 2 bedroom apartment in Grenwich Village. Early on The Voice was extremely derogatory to the gay community calling the stonewall Riots the Great Faggot Rebellion. Two early Voice reporters Smith and Truscott regularly used the words fag and dyke before they were commonly used in the gay community. The Gay Liberation Front was not allowed to mention the word gay or homosexual in the advertisements for gay dances because the words were considered derogatory. The newspaper changed their policy after the GLF petitioned the Voice
The Village Voice was once a paper that expressed progressive and enlightened spiritual and social revolution of the 1960's. It evolved a bit in the 1970s and then went down the tubes in the 1980s.
Now The Voice is a corporate rag. Dan Savage's articles are brilliant, health minded and informative. There are some occasional good reviews and political exposes, but the rest of the paper has devolved into a piece of crap! And Michael Musto! He's The Voice's screaming but unfunny gossip monger. He replaced Arthur Bell to exorcise The Voice of it's early, brutal mistreatment of GBLT people.
In their recent "Best of New York" they praised "Morning Joe: Joe Scarborough: the conservative douche bag with a former dead intern, his icy side kick Mika Brzezinski's boots and another fellow "Morning Joe" douche hole. Is this the best that The Voice can vomit up?
Secondly Michael Musto, the all time freakifier is what? Some "Expert" on Nightlife in New York just because he was alive in the 1970's? Please!!!! Musto is musty and an anachronism.
To his credit, in his archives, he raised political awareness of 80s Aids and homophobia in music such as with Buju Banton and other nightmares. Michael Musto is more lucky than actually talented. Musto's luckiest break was in 1984 when Arther Bell of "Bell Tells" The former gossip columnist for The Voice died of Aids and Musty replaced him. Musty was known in the club and performance scene. Supposedly, rumor has it, Musty wanted to make it as a singer and was known to be quite good, according to my resources. However those that do, do and those that cannot do write! So ya'll I'm writing:)
There's so many other wittier, wiser and infinitely more talented gay writers who really know what's happening in the New York and beyond. Musto is tired! He is the poor and uneducated man's Truman Capote minus any real gift for writing. He is a pop-trash-dribbler and really Perez Hilton can do this much better. Musty's "humor" is like some grade D Joan Rivers impersonator. He extended his early 80's 15 minutes by gloming onto the 90's club kids and appearing like a bad rash on Joan Rivers and other shows popping up again and again like New York's new bed bug infestation. His snark comes from the now frowned upon, nasty queen, mentalities straight out of " The Boys in the Band"
In his "Best of Clubs in NYC 2009" is full of names of Musty's posse: the same recycled celebu-nobodies and dated personalities all of which are now in their late 40s, 50s and beyond. These club "personalities" are actually a bunch of obnoxious and pretentious fools, fops and freaks. They are by no means cutting edge and have all been around since the year of the flood. They are all a reaffirmation that an endorsement of Michael Musto guarantees that in 20 years you will be in the exact place: No where else but back in his column and in some shit hole club acting 20-30 years younger than your actual age!
He occasionally he pulls up some new face but is an anti gay person's safe choice and reason to keep dehumanizing GBLT people. Musty always blathers on about some actual TV-Movie-Music celebrity to give his column supposed gossip legitimacy, then he names another one of his ancient, loser club personalities. He is banal plain and simple.
Most younger GBLTs are trying to find credibility and political strength by abandoning antiquated stereotypes. We do not believe in eating our own through back biting. Camp at our own expense is Dead! We lead by example, have normal lives and want our equal rights. Once upon a time "Better Blatant than Latent" worked, but in our evolution we now lead by example and maybe for some people sane is boring. But, if we want credibility we must get beyond being caricatured as circus freaks, sexually compulsive hedonists and pathetic creatures with no ability to be community leaders, responsible parents or committed married people.
We realize that acting the fool, the sleaze or the freak does nothing to further marriage equality and parental rights. We have gratefully evolved beyond acting freaky because we had no other options. Once upon a time GBLT people were victims of greater oppressions but the time has come to grow up. While some of us are more colorful and nonconformist than others, Most of us assimilate. Many straight men have gay male buddies and straight women have gay women friends and so on. People do not see us as frightening or all that different, but as human beings deserving our rights to be happy and have exactly what everyone else has.
There are some GBLT people who need to be terminally unique, "too special" to fit in. But many younger GBLT people assimilate. We do not have to lives lives in bars, smothering our unhappy oppression in drugs, sex and booze. We have been afforded this right by people who were as daring as they had to be. Now we deserve more and we no longer have to only exist under a ghetto mindset. Nowadays we are as indistinguishable as any other person in our community.
In years passed, gay men like Michael Musto had no other recourse than to become parodies of themselves as lonely men, tortured by age and lack of love. Such men were resigned to bitter humor known as camp. Those days are over, GBLT people will not settle for miserable lives whose emptiness can only be filled with style and superficial frivolities. Young GBLT people want substance, not placation!
The transgender people Musty writes about are always the plastic surgery disasters and Ho's which further galvanizes the myth that all transsexuals are nothing more than freaky hos deserving to be nothing more than punchlines. Old school fags and dykes like Musty see trannys as delusional gay men who just can't accept being men. They do not acknowledge tg people's actual gender identity. Not all the men and women who love trannys are gay or delusional, it's way more complex than that.
Musty dismisses the fact that gender identity and sexual preference are two different issues. So Musty keeps the ignorant readers ignorant. He keeps trannys in their designated place: the shittiest rung of the queer hierarchy. and we all know how prostitution serves biological women. It serves them with abuse, STDs and slow suicide. So trannys wake up, Musty is Not your Friend!
Mustie does serve a purpose: He keeps the GBLT communities seem scary and not fit to be members of actual communities.The Voice has made and continues to make a fortune off of tons of weekly transsexual prostitution ads. Perhaps freakifying trannys has paid Musty's salary and the salaries of many Voice writers, the proof is in their back pages. Also Mustie reinforces stereotypes about gay men and lesbians, the freakier and more lurid the better. One can be profound without writing at the expense of the entire GBLT population. We have political leaders and this column keeps the confused folk filled with unsavory misconceptions of who we all are.
The dizzy, vapid and fagonoxious Michael Musto typifies the bitter, old gay man who passes off bitchiness as humor. He certainly was never a gorgeous gay man so the next best thing is to be as acidic as possible since any attention is better than no attention at all. Gossip has been called a polite form of assassination.
I love my boy Keith Olbermann but I'm over seeing Musty's rubber, homely, schmuck face being all lame assed on Countdown. Musty's just not funny, he's pathetic. The poor cow has had his day it's time for The Voice to dig a ditch and bury the bitch! The actual Best of The Voice is that it makes a wonderful lining of my cat litter pan!
Peace Ya'll Ms Rae

Michael Jackson's"This is It" Reanimates his Exploited Corpse
Michael Jackson's "This is It" Reanimates a corpse with an exploitative family, emotional problems and Hello a drug problem.
Of course they are now claiming that Michael Jackson's death was a homicide but let's get real. Michael Jackson was very maladjusted. His obsession with children though Peter Pan-like was dubious. When a person possesses a great deal of wealth and personal power people around them rely upon their money. In many cases the sycophants around the sacrificial cash cow, turn a blind eye to things like possible child molestation and drug abuse.
Though Michael Jackson was allegedly found innocent the second time around his molestation charge issues, the jury members spoke out afterward that they were not sure that he indeed did not molest the child. They did claim that the case in the trial was too weak to prove a solid verdict. Secondly some members were absolutely convinced that he did molest the boy while the case was too disheveled to form a conviction. The trial was a bizarre media circus. One faithful, if not delusional fan released doves because she could not cope with her idol maybe, possibly, being a child molester. child molesters are sick, but in America reality is not always a popular concept. When you have a lot of money, you can spin a situation anyway that you wish. And Michael was big on living his life upon wish-craft, never-never land, whimsical childlike let's pretend. Incidentally child molesters are mentally ill and cannot see how interacting sexually with a child is wrong. Experts claim that molesters are emotionally stunted from childhood traumas and unable to relate to adults. Hello!!!
The first alleged, molestation victim had been paid a hefty settlement from Michael Jackson. Michael's behavior with his own children was questionable and eccentric. Also Hello: When a person needs a surgical sedative to simply sleep: We're talking the half passed dead sedatives used to knock people out for surgeries, that's a drug problem! And Hello: How can a person with a drug problem make a responsible parent?
The post-rigamortis media canonization of Michael Jackson as spun by his sleaze bag family, record companies and his father who sold his child away to the Gods of show business was gouache, tacky and fucking tasteless. Remember his father, Joe Jackson's plugging his new record company at Michael's post death press conference? Fucking tacky as the day is long, honey!
Secondly if his whack family really gave a shit about Michael why did they not get him help, counseling and some sort of rehab? The answer is simple. They are tacky people who lived off of their drugged up, emotionally fucked up golden goose. "This is It" is being pushed out as a media event by former concert promoters who lost their investment when Michael was basically overdosed with surgical sedatives. "This is It" is their way of making good on their economic investment by reanimating the corpse of a brilliant but terribly troubled man. Michael was socially maladjusted and emotionally arrested from the traumas of his insane childhood. Michael Jackson was also suffering from substance abuse problems: using anesthesia to get a good night's sleep is a drug problem!
Did you ever talk with people who underwent numerous surgeries? In most cases surgical anesthesia is risky and a delicate process. This is why a special anesthesiologist is hired to sedate a patient before surgeries. I don't know about you, but many people that I've known speak of how the anesthesia messes them up after wards, especially when sedated for hours long procedures. Now just imagine doing that shit every night just to knock your ass out and get some rest. that is Fucked up!
There are legitimate sleep clinics that help people with sleeping disorders like Michael Jackson had. Concert promoters hiring some dicey "doctor feel good" to knock Michael out in order to get a good night's work out of him is some creepy shit! Had Michael Jackson's " loving" family really given a fuck, they would have intervened or hired an intervention specialist to check his ass into a sleep disorder treatment clinic. However, the Jackson family would have to be emotionally and spiritually "all there" to make such an educated call and obviously they are troubled with questionable agendas. The Jacksons and his public relations machine turned his funeral into a colossal media spin, photo op. This greased the wheels for Michael Jackson's postmortem record-merchandising frenzy. It was smart and very calculated making Michael Jackson worth more dead than alive. This is obvious to anyone who is not some fanatic unable to bear to have their hero's legacy questioned, maybe Michael Jackson is all they have?.
Michael Jackson was a race horse being run to death by handlers with agendas to extract every penny that they could from him. Michael Jackson was a a talented, exploited child, adult child and now an exploited corpse. The people around Michael: family, promoters and staff were a bunch of Hos who used him as a golden goose being tweaked to keep laying those golden, mutha fuck'n eggs.
There is nothing loving or considerate about the way Michael Jackson has been handled by those around him including his family.. They encouraged a mentally unstable person to keep generating that cash even if it killed him and it killed him. Michael Jackson's life mirrors the lives of Judy Garland, Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe. They are all American legends, prisoners of fame, existing as human commodities: slave driven by a demanding, unrelenting management and public. They were slathered in substances, patronized by sycophants surviving off of their tortured existences until they dropped dead, in one drug related way or another. And they all continue to be slaughtered cash cows as their corpses wither to ashes. RIP Michael Jackson, there is hopefully some peace where you, Marilyn, Elvis and Judy are now.
Peace,
Ms. Rae

Queers Who Play into Right Wing Hate Fodder Part One
Recently Edmund White publicly skewered Gore Vidal in a Salon.com interview. Uneducated quasi literate Americans love a good old, gay-bitch mud fight because they see queers as lowly minstrel shows. Even the most well meaning, queer eye folks out there can be as patronizing as shit when it comes to reinforcing and believing old school queer stereotypes. Maury Povich and Jerry Springer are among the worst recyclers of queer and transgender minstrel. In fact many queer gossip columnist play the old school bitch queen role and keep the old shit a cycling!
Lots of queer media boxes up those GBLT stereotypes that are supposed to be pushed our ways as "queer culture". I'm say'n, it's tired shit and we need healthier and new images. I don't know about you but I'm tired of seeing stereotyped, old school lame assed dyke characters, fey queer boys and transsexual prostitute characters on TV. These stereotypes reflect some real people but so many are Not be represented.
What about healthy unaffected GLBT characters such as a for real, diverse group of people? I Love Sister, Actress LaVerne Cox. Why cast her always as a ho? Of course The Village Voice and New York Press are almost fully supported by ho ads, particularly tranny ho ads. but again they are only one small portion of that population!
Why not cast sister LaVerne Cox as an everyday female, or whre she's a doctor, an everyday woman? If you gonna make her a Ho make her a generic female ho, she does not look in any way shape or form as a "man". Transgender people are more than some genitals, they are human beings with individual characteristics as us African appearing people are more than just a skin tone or complexion.
I saw LaVerne Cox on "Law and Order" and "Bored to Death" Cox dammed bitches! You writing only roles for Miss LaVerne play'n trans-ho's. Come on ya'll! This ebony beauty is far more talented then some lame assed casting director with myopia putting her in trans only roles. She's a woman be it of trans experience and actors act. A good actor should be able to play any person-gender etc.!!
You see there's an agenda going on here, as long as transgender people are still seen as freaks people, even the less educated gays and lesbians can point and laugh. Making our gay and transgender children punch lines is not liberated, it's fuck'n stupid and shameful! So directors out there get Sister LaVerne some good acting roles playing all kinds of everyday women! Do not turn her into the Amos and Andy show of 2009. Minstrel shows were once a staple of old, African American stereotypes. They evolved into Amos and Andy, 70's,Blaxploitation comedies and nowadays Medea. Though most educated people are in on the joke, the less intelligent cannot distinguish between the empowerment of humor versus being a stereotype and still playing a real life stereotype.
Gore Vidal is an American Legend and mart. Gore has also been apologetically queer, but in a smart way. Edmund White writes about gay experiences from the 50's and very stuck in a 70's post liberation place. White's material always has that ever so slight hard-on, porn-ish touch about his characters. White believes in promiscuity and does not support gay marriage. Promiscuity was encouraged in the post 60's 1970's especially among gay men. Wife swapping was big in some suburban circles, people were trying out their sexual adventure water wings. People were trying to, especially in American break free of old, systemic puritanism by trying lots of new things via sexual exploration. Many in my opinion were attempting to buck the uptight, frigid sexual mores, this was especially true of women and gay men attempting to forge a new and freer sexuality.
Nowadays us young, post liberated people want the right to marry and raise families. We don't buy into the.promiscuity as liberation myth, at least those of us who are educated and have learned the horrors of history. We often see reckless promiscuity as a symptom of self loathing only serving to destroy our capacity to have authentic intimacy. We are conscious to anything that can discredit our rights to marry and raise families. If we act like old school stereotypes we become the reason for uneducated people to see us as legitimately incredible.
Many of us gay women can be promiscuous as well, but at the end of the day promiscuity is the by product (no pun intended) of internal self loathing and sex addiction. Never mind Aids, there are many other nastier STD's, and even with new vaccines, like bedbugs, STD's evolve and become resistant to medications and vaccines, so we all had better pull our collective shit together and realize this truth: If you are sexually active you Must keep practicing safe sex!
Let's be honest, promiscuity and excesses have been the main culprit of a gay holocaust called the Aids epidemic that annihilated a huge chunk of the gay male populations in the 1980's. Most of these men came of age during the 1960's and 70's while unbeknown to themselves, sexually active, particularly anal receptive gay men were getting infected. The silent killer also began claiming the lives of bisexuals, gay, straight, transgender sex workers and hemophiliacs, intravenous drug users worldwide.
Our communities became galvanized to fight Aids and save the lives of the victims. Truthfully, promiscuity and unprotected sex contributed to many deaths. So when old school douche bags like Edmund White praise promiscuity they green light young GB LT and other sexually active people to indulge even more. Sexual and drug addicts, Addiction is an illness and its own deadly disease contributes till today to these infections. The saddest victims were and still are the men and women who were partners of people who had unprotected sex or used i.v. drugs. Most tragic victims historically were the people who received tainted blood transfusions from volunteers doing a good deed by donating blood. Even more tragic are the worldwide children born infected to Aids patients.
The GLBT communities and our allies were and still are united in finding an Aids cure since we hit the mid-late 1980's. Condoms became a reliable stock and product. Trojan commercials began to hit the air. The once humorous concept of bagging it became a smart and educated choice, it still should be and must be!
The most tragic aspect of all of this is along came a 90's cockiness(again no pun intended) of young GLBT folks who decide in spite of themselves to go bag less and prove a point. This evolved into the bug chasers and gift givers. "Gift" givers? Such a "gift" is actually a polite word for assassination! Bug Chasers are in reality mentally disturbed people who are so out of touch with their suicidal wishes. Bug chasers and "gift" givers are demented plain and simple. Anyone who has watched a person die or suffer from this horrible disease would Never endorse such asinine, assassination!
It is time for the GLBT community to grow the fuck up and get really wise! That is it's your own business if you are sexually active and with who. However if you are stupid enough to have unprotected sex with strangers then you are falling into the arms of horrible illness, enslavement to the pharmaceutical companies who view you as a demographic for profits. If you want to be the ho to the big-pharmaceutical, pimp daddy then act the fool and kill and be killed. If you are infected then Be fucking Responsible, get health care and Bag your stuff. Do not assassinate others because you are ill. Also taking care of yourself and not having unprotected sex will keep you healthier in the long run as you won't be mixing up your viral load.
If you cannot behave responsibly then get your fuck'n head checked!
Plain and simple if us Queer folk also known as GBLT's want to be respected we had better start by respecting our selves and teaching the world through example. Education is empowerment. I'd rather be a smart woman going about her business being a part of the world at large then stuck in some mutha fuck'n ghetto.
In the ghetto there are 2 communities and mindsets, One is let's band together and do aF.U.B.U.( for us, by us) protect and pull our collective asses up and out! this is a wise, educated and healthy choice.The Ill-est choice is: Let's shoot up, cut up and fuck ourselves up so fiercely that we stay fuck'n down and let's known down and drop quick anyone daring to be better and make a healthy choice!
In ghetto life we all have to make an executive decision and distance ourselves with the more destructive elements of our communities. If Barack and Michelle OBama tried to keep it real and be all down with the people, especially the more destructive people, they would never be up on the hill where they are as role models. I don't know about you but I'd rather be alive, healthy as possible, educated and fully self supporting in work that brings pride and spiritual fulfillment. So get your head and you ass healthy and empowered. If you messed up pull it together as it's Never too late to begin a good life! If you have never been to hell then pay the negative ways no mind and keep on a walkn'n to heaven: which means education, credibility, self respect and power baby!
Peace Ya'll,
Ms. Rae

However if you are stupid enough to have unprotected sex with strangers then you are falling into the arms of horrible illness, enslavement to the pharmaceutical companies who view you as a demographic for profits. If you want to be the ho to the big-pharmaceutical, pimp daddy then act the fool and kill and be killed. If you are infected then Be fucking Responsible, get health care and Bag your stuff. Do not assassinate others because you are ill. Also taking care of yourself and not having unprotected sex will keep you healthier in the long run as you won't be mixing up your viral load.
If you cannot behave responsibly then get your fuck'n head checked!
Plain and simple if us Queer folk also known as GBLT's want to be respected we had better start by respecting our selves and teaching the world through example. Education is empowerment. I'd rather be a smart woman going about her business being a part of the world at large then stuck in some mutha fuck'n ghetto.
In the ghetto there are 2 communities and mindsets, One is let's band together and do aF.U.B.U.( for us, by us) protect and pull our collective asses up and out! this is a wise, educated and healthy choice.The Ill-est choice is: Let's shoot up, cut up and fuck ourselves up so fiercely that we stay fuck'n down and let's known down and drop quick anyone daring to be better and make a healthy choice!
In ghetto life we all have to make an executive decision and distance ourselves with the more destructive elements of our communities. If Barack and Michelle OBama tried to keep it real and be all down with the people, especially the more destructive people, they would never be up on the hill where they are as role models. I don't know about you but I'd rather be alive, healthy as possible, educated and fully self supporting in work that brings pride and spiritual fulfillment. So get your head and you ass healthy and empowered. If you messed up pull it together as it's Never too late to begin a good life! If you have never been to hell then pay the negative ways no mind and keep on a walkn'n to heaven: which means education, credibility, self respect and power baby!
Peace Ya'll,

Congratulations to President OBama and Fuck the GOP, Rush and Fakes Noise!
Congratulations to President OBama on his Nobel Peace Prize. The world at large, that is all the other people's and countries who share the planet adore President OBama and see him as a figure of peace and intelligence unlike shit kicker idiots, racists and racist organizations such as Fox Noise and The GOP.
The GOP is the party for wealthy white people and wealthy "white" wannabes. Get real peeps, even dear old Ruppert Murdock who owns Myspace and Fakes Noise is a "conservative" white only propaganda machine. However on myspace you can have a blog and an opinion.
The alleged liberal media gave very little props to President OBama and buried his win. This is an outstanding achievement never before seen by a sitting president. the conservatives behind most media and the news models are disgusting pigs and part of a racist propaganda machine out to smear President OBama and undermine his policies, his intelligence and his efforts to do good.
Meanwhile disgusting creatures of hatred, white supremacists such as Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Sarah Palin, Hannity and Bill O'Reilly are given all the air time that the right wingnuts can muster up for them.
Since Rush is now going to be a Miss America judge we should all boycott Miss America pageants. We know he will Cut any woman with progressive views and if she's of any color, she gonna be a whitey wannabe on the inside sort of, of color woman.
Let's call it as it is: The GOP and Conservatives are terrified of an African American man in the White House and they will stop at nothing to destroy him. They will fire up the nuttiest wing of their wingnuts and let the ignorant do their dirty work. Rush Limbaugh should Not be allowed to own any team. He would be living his fantasy of being a white master fighting his bucks. The NFL must intercept this nonsense now!
Peace be With Ya'll,
Ms. Rae

Right Wingnut Hall of Shame so Far!
Current mood:Reading Some Beads!
Category: News and Politics
Bill O'Reilly: The nasty shanty Irish, Long Island tyrant and NY Post hack, In reality racist freak who hates our Black President and all people of color and gays. Earth to Bill: Not everyone in America is an uptight Catholic! There are some cool Catholics who live in the year 2009! And Not everyone is a nasty, evil man!
Michael Steele: This RNC chair person is trying to phone in a Hip Hop touch. In reality this Internally Xenophobic GOP house negro is showing his Jackass Flats street in-cred. He's a flop and unless you are a fukkin imbecile you can see through his oreo bitch "soft shoe shine'in'n fo his yes Sir, massa Sir's".
Gretchen Carlson: (One Crazy Kunt of a beauty contest winner who's a real loser)
Sean Hannity: A hack from the New York Post propaganda machine. He is insane and will make up propaganda as he goes on. He's an overblown, overpaid tart like all Fakes News spokesmodels and psuedo "journalists".
Glen Beck: He is a racist nut! He will conjure all sorts of paranoia and red fear as though he were living in McCarthy era America 1950's. Beck is trying to channel the spirit of Senator Joe McCarthy. hopefully he'll go down in shame as did Joe the old, evil fuck!
Michelle Bachman (One Paranoid Kunt) The spokeswoman for "white americans wishing that segregation were still in effect"
Michelle Malkin: (Another Crazy Kunt) She look like the psycho doll outta that 1969? Night Gallery episode with Karen Black called "Trilogy of Terror" involving a little troll doll that came to life. Scared the shit out of me though I was born way later on (Ms. Rae not even a concept back when), saw DVD. You can still see this on You Tube.
Tucker Carlson: A bow tied douchebag with a snotty, foppish prep gay-ish, school touch. He put on the bow tie as a trademark and will lie any which way to give cred to creepy Ree-puke-lickins.
Ron Christie: One feather droppin, snotty, Mutha Fukka, queen assed, Gay As Old Paris, wishin he was a "straight" white conservative closet case like Larry Craig)
Joe Watson: Another Whack, Internally Xenophobic, internal old white racist. He bat shit insane! Got that off his meds look..Will lie for anything his GOP massas want him to!
Larry Craig: whose closeted, hypocritical, gay asshole is so wide (the size of Madison Square Garden) he got a wide stance!
Joe Scarborough: some call him "Killer Joe" when his ex intern turned up dead and it all got buried http://www.americanpolitics.com/20010808Klausutis.html
http://www.jossip.com/joe-scarborough-v-rachel-maddow-not-a-scandal-says-msnbc-20080418/
Now he's called "Morning Joe". He has that southern Frat boy sex appeal, but for girls of color it's dangerous! He's a douche obsessed with Starbucks. He's lacky: the icy Mika Brazinski adds to Joe's creep factor. I call him "Joe Blows"!
Cindy Adams: An ass, faced crack'n old bitch, another NY Post hack, overrated for being a nasty, cunty, evil person called a gossip columnist. Gossip a polite word for assassin. She evil as a bad, old school witch (not religious witch) can be!
Kate O’Beirne: The crack'n old face of Republican White women who are anti-feminist freaks. This rich white bitch would have always been able to get an abortion on the down low and Lied about it! She's got the best insurance and is all about keep'n rich white bitches in the cat bird seat. She was one of the first to crucify President Bill Clinton when a fat girl blew him. Kate does not want former President Bush or his administration investigated because it's the past, let bygones be bygones when it involves a Republican. But if you are a Black Democratic President Beware. The O'Beirne, lace curtain Irish Reep will nail you to a cross. That Catholic thing again. She's no doubt a homophobic freak who feels justified to hate because it's in her "religion". God help save her hater ass!
Right wingnut Joe Watkins of MSNBC Aint Ever Gonna Be White
Conservatives and Right Wingnuts are acting very un-American. They are acting like fascists accusing good people like President OBama, of being socialists and communists, Conservative-Right Wingnuts are manufacturing controversies where they do not exist. They are making America look like a laughing stock, nation struggling within because of their of insane faction of dangerous stooges. To the world at large Right Wingnuts appear like a psychopaths attempting to gain control of Americas powers. They are scary!
Joe Watkins is a Nut! Joe Watkins is a Psycho in the delusional tradition of Alan Keyes, the bat shit nuts man who ran against President OBama in a senate race! Not only was Alan Keyes bat shit nuts, he did not even live in Illinois. Conservatives and Right Wingnuts like Joe Watkins MSNBC are acting like Blood Thirsty FASCIST Nuts! Reality is they Hate President Obama Because He's BLACK!
Our President gave an emotionally lifting and inspiring speech to school children encouraging them to remain in school and Right Wingnuts are calling him a socialist, communist and afraid of their children listening to his speech. They should all be ashamed how insane they are behaving.
Watching Joe Watkins on Dr. Nancy was like observing a person having a psychotic-paranoid meltdown. He will do and claim anything to create a controversy where none exist. Joe Watkins is a man with internal xenophobia. He's a nasty, racist white man trapped in the body of a African American man just like Alan Keyes and Ron Christie. These men have never gotten over that being a "White Conservative Do-Boy" Ain't Ever Gonna Make you White!
It is all about race. The Right Wing Agenda destroying and mislabeling everything good that President OBama does in order to tear down his presidency, smear and demonize him no matter how lowly and psychotic that they have to go. Right Wingnuts are all pulling all paranoid-propaganda rabbits out of their asses, They are calling fire in crowded theaters, rousing fear in the ignorant and uneducated. They are opportunistic sadists,taking advantage of a horrid economy and wreckage that the George W. Bush Administration left for President OBama. They are the epitome of irresponsibility, denial and lie mongering.
Just like Conservative (make pretend Indie-Dem) Sen Joe Lieberman is doing his "Be afraid, be Very Afraid". Joe Watkins, Fox News models and Conservative Right Wingnuts are fear mongering and manufacturing all sorts of paranoia especially among the most ignorant and uneducated, small town white Americans. This is sad! This is very unAmerican!
Fox News has been the great harbinger of misinformation. It is not news, it is Conservative fairy tales (more like horror stories) manufacture to stir up artificial controversy. This makes people like Joe Watkins artificial. His face is so twisted, he looks like he's beginning to have difficulties with his medications. Anyone with half a brain can see this man is Insane! The propaganda and red hysteria going down with Right Wingnuts has not been seen since Senator Joe McCarthy, one of America's most insane and shameful historic, periods.
American Conservatives: Get your asses out of your heads, get a grip and get your asses Medicated! You are in deep shit and truly dangerous to yourselves and the American people! Conservatives and Right Wing Nuts your psycho talk and paranoia is dangerous and unacceptable!
Peace (as ironic as this sign off sounds),
Rae

Gratitude for Labor Day its True Meaning! Unions Rule!
For most of us, Labor Day means backyard barbecues, weekend sales, and at last carefree day before school starts. But the laid-back holiday has some seriously sad history, including chaos, riots, and even
death. Let us explain.
A tragic tale, Back in the days of the Industrial Revolution, workers were expected to put in 12-hour days, seven days a week (yes, including kids).
Already sounds awful, right? It gets worse. In Pullman, Illinois, a company town that employed and housed workers to build posh railway cars, times had gotten tough. In response, George Pullman cut jobs and wages. It was 1893. Thousands of workers walked off their jobs in protest, demanding higher salaries and lower rents. Other unions joined, refusing to work the Pullman cars, turning the small-town
fracas into a national fury.
With mail cars backing up, and riots worrying train execs, President Grover Cleveland stepped in. He declared the strike illegal and sent
12,000 troops to break the strike. Cue brutal protests and bloodshed. The strike was broken, but so was the spirit of the workers. To reach out to the labor movement, Congress rushed the national holiday into
law. The bad will resulted in Cleveland losing re-election. But the day off for hot dogs endures.
What also endures are proper work shifts: a 40 hr work week, workers rights, disability, OSHA and
if a worker is injured on the job, their employer must cover their medical bills.
Also irresponsible employers who knowingly
endanger their workers are held accountable. Children are not allowed to be hired and certain regulations that protect workers from slave labor
are in place. Plus a minimum wage is now in place, paid l;eaves, social security and all worker rights. Even non union members owe something to
America's Labor movement.
Without Unions workers injured on their jobs have no recourse. Slave shops would be operating with inhumane work environments. Let us never forget
The Triangle Shift Company fire. The Triangle Shirt Employees were not unionized. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_fire.
Keep in mind when companies moved offshore or hire non union workers they Do Not have to abide by Union Responsibilities. Off shore companies can run slave labor work places in order to profit from working people to death.
If you value your worker rights then you had better reacquaint your self with the meaning of Labor Day and of workers rights and employer responsibilities
to their workers. Educate your self and remain informed. When is it?
Labor Day falls on the first Monday of September. This year, that would be Monday, September 7. According to the Department of Labor, Congress passed an act in 1894 making the first Monday in September of
each year a legal holiday.
Be grateful greedy companies can no longer work you or your children to death for their profits. They also must own any ways in which they jeopardize your health by running hazardous work situations. People with selective amnesia wake the F@#k Up! Uneducated people learn to read and get educated about your workers rights! So, working people everywhere, say it now, with feeling: Happy Labor Day.
