<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://wonkitime.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/bucket.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-31" src="http://wonkitime.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/bucket.jpg?w=120" alt="" width="120" height="123" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8pt;">This is where I would keep my list</span></p>
<p>Every person should create a bucket list (things one should do or accomplish before their impending demise). I’m starting to create one, which indicates two things:</p>
<p style="margin-left:0.5in;text-indent:-0.25in;">-<span style="font-size:7.5pt;"> </span>I’m getting old(er)</p>
<p style="margin-left:0.5in;text-indent:-0.25in;">-<span style="font-size:7.5pt;"> </span>I’m a nerd</p>
<p>I don’t know if anyone has ever written guidelines about how to create a bucket list, but that would be a helpful thing. For instance, a bucket list should never be too long. If you have a list of more than 500 things to accomplish before you die, well, it’s not only difficult, but you’ll be so busy trying to check off every activity that you may not enjoy the ho-hum of life. My theory is that everyone needs a little monotony and stagnancy, which makes those special moments even that much more enjoyable.</p>
<p>Also, you should create a list that’s realistic. For instance, “travel to the moon” might be realistic to a billionaire or <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lance_Bass">Lance Bass</a></strong>, but to most people it’s a crazy stretch of the imagination. However, who am I to say you shouldn’t dream big, but a bucket list should be reasonable to some degree.</p>
<p>I can’t reveal my whole bucket list yet (because I’ve only just begun), but here are some starters:</p>
<p>- Eat the best burgers that NYC can provide (here’s an <a href="http://men.style.com/gq/blogs/alanrichman/2008/07/my-five-favorit.html" target="_blank">article</a> that gives me a great start, <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#34;">which my buddy DP mentions in his <a href="http://oneyearinnewyorkcity.blogspot.com/">blog</a> as well)</span><br />
<a href="http://wonkitime.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/burgers.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-32" src="http://wonkitime.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/burgers.jpg?w=122" alt="" width="122" height="123" /></a></p>
<p>- Go on a cross-country excursion in an RV<br />
<a href="http://wonkitime.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/rv.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-33" src="http://wonkitime.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/rv.jpg?w=137" alt="" width="137" height="92" /></a></p>
<p>- See U2 in concert<br />
<a href="http://wonkitime.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/u2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-34" src="http://wonkitime.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/u2.jpg?w=116" alt="" width="116" height="87" /></a></p>
<p>- Shake Albert Pujols hand and if possible try to get an artifact used by him (batting gloves, cap, wristband, jockstrap…)</p>
<p>- Travel to Ireland and have a real authentic Guinness from a local pub<br />
<a href="http://wonkitime.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/guinness.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-35" src="http://wonkitime.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/guinness.jpg?w=116" alt="" width="116" height="87" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#34;">Here are some recent pics of <strong>EJ</strong>. I have to admit, this kid is so cuddly and adorable that I can’t get enough of his cooing.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://wonkitime.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/ej01.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36" src="http://wonkitime.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/ej01.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know that moment a little bit after you find out that two of your friends have ended their relationship -- the moment that follows all the sympathy and condolences, the moment of "oh, crap, they were such a fun couple, and now they won't be having those awesome BBQs anymore"?  That's the way I feel about <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/14/sarah-silverman-and-jimmy_n_112665.html">Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman breaking up</A>.  Because in the grand tradition of real-life couples Lucy and Desi and George and Gracie, their union created some hilarious comedy.  Though perhaps the nature of the pieces was an early warning sign. </p>
<p>Silverman presented <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd4o_hUXbfs"><I>I'm F***ing Matt Damon</i></a> to Kimmel as a gift in honor of <I>Jimmy Kimmel Live</i>'s 5th anniversary (it was originally meant to be aired in November 2007 during Kimmel's birthday show, which never happened due to the WGA strike), and uploads of the video quickly appeared on YouTube in a <a href="http://station.newteevee.com/show/lazysunday/"><I>Lazy Sunday</i></a>-esque wave. </p>
<p>The choice of partners is deliberate, as Jimmy Kimmel has a long-standing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Damon#Interests_and_notable_events">joke feud</a> with Matt Damon (culminating in a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PZNfOZXPJk">rage-filled appearance in September 2006</a>), but who knew that Matt Damon could not only rap, but bust out some 90s-dance-crew moves?  <!--more--></p>
<p>And who knew that Kimmel would raise the bar so dramatically with a follow-up featuring <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_pFTAY7MF8">Damon BFF Ben Affleck</a>? <I>I'm F***ing Ben Affleck</i> may start off like a cheap rip-off, but soon afterwards ups the ante, both in an artistic and cast sense: the quasi-official YouTube upload lists Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, Rebecca Romijn, Benji Madden, Joel Madden, Dicky Barrett, Christopher Mintz-Plasse a.k.a. Mclovin, Lance Bass, Dominic Monaghan, Meatloaf, Pete Wentz, Joan Jett, Huey Lewis, Perry Farrell, Macy Gray and Josh Groban.  Sure, there are no butterflies.  But there is a "We Are The World"-esque chorus and Harrison Ford in a convertible.  Advantage: Kimmel.  </p>
<p>Of course, Silverman and Kimmel didn't work together on these shorts -- both were directed by Wayne McClammy, a <I>Jimmy Kimmel Live</i> segment director who's parlayed his success into <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117986899.html?categoryid=13&cs=1">exciting</a> <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117987798.html?categoryid=13&cs=1">directing gigs</a>.  But the established nature of their relationship in the public eye is what gives these pieces the additional kick.  What makes "I'm F***ing Matt Damon/Ben Affleck" so much fun is that the humor of the pieces reflect that stage in a romance when all the insecurity is gone, when both partners are so comfortable with each other that they can make these sorts of tasteless jokes.  Now that they've broken up, it's just a little sad, to think of the people they are now, um, f***ing.  </p>
<p>But maybe there's a chance they got together for one last breakup music video.  Everyone knows those are always the best.</p>

But there's a twist, Since Lance is gay producers are talking about pairing him up with another man. Do you think he should be allowed to dance with another man, or should he be forced to dance with a female partner like all of the other male dancers?</p>

<p>Poor Iran, honestly, I feel extremely bad for the Iranian people. Day after day, they have to watch and listen to their "commanders" prance around on television and make complete fools out of themselves. Nevertheless, it's quite astonishing that a country who just 30 years ago was a close ally of the U.S., is now trying to mess with us.</p>
<p>You would think people who lead a country would show some sign of being bright. Nope, not the Iranians, once they revolted in 1979 and pushed the country way back into the 10th century they became crasser than anyone could ever have imagined.</p>
<p>Today, the "regime" fired nine test missiles, and General Salami (the person not the meat, although with his brainpower you might be confused) said the tests were conducted in reaction to enemies that have issued "harsh words" to Iran. Oh Salami and Ahmadinejad, haven’t you ever heard the little chant, "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." Just because we call you out every time you make your country sound like a country filled with bricks, doesn’t mean were going to attack you.</p>
<p>Iran don't you get it, you're the little Muslim country formally known as Persia that is trying to threaten the greatest world power in the world. To quote one of the worst movies known to man, "Bring it on."</p>
<p>Ahmadinejad, you must be a complete imbecile, you and your ayatollah cronies are just a bunch of belligerent terrorists, sure, if you mess with us we'll kick your ass, but we probably won't attack you, you’re just not worth our time and money. You guys are so backward that you make Lance Bass seem straight, you guys aren't a threat you’re a nuisance. Look if America chooses to, they'll take you out. We've done it before and aren't afraid to do it again, so now i'm warning you Iran don't mess with us.</p>
<p>Unless you like the idea of having your country turned into little Orlando, don't mess with us.</p>
<p>Last but not least, Ahmadinjad, haven't you seen "You Don't Mess With The Zohan" I mean do you really want a couple hundred thousand of those little guys running around and kicking the crap out of your people. The little nation has been around for far less time than your country and it could have kicked your ass back in 67' when they kicked the ass of 13 different Arab countries. They have either the best or 2nd best Air Force in the world, and if you actually think you can mess with them, you're already toast.</p>

<p></span><span style="font-family:georgia;">Although he plays a womanizer on "How I Met Your Mother," Neil Patrick Harris has been in a committed relationship with boyfriend David Burtka since 2004.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br />
<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_p66VchL3WRo/SGeRNz7ByII/AAAAAAAABlI/qmGdiIfhFQw/s1600-h/2+Ellen+DeGeneres.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_p66VchL3WRo/SGeRNz7ByII/AAAAAAAABlI/qmGdiIfhFQw/s320/2+Ellen+DeGeneres.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;"><strong></strong></span><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ellen DeGeneres announced her engagement to Portia de Rossi shortly after the California Supreme Court overturned a ban on gay marriage in May. The comedian, who recently won the Emmy for best talk show host, joked that she would put her statuette on top of their wedding cake.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;"><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_p66VchL3WRo/SGeQ8g3XpiI/AAAAAAAABkY/hOCnImxW2Uk/s1600-h/3+Sir+Ian+McKellan.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_p66VchL3WRo/SGeQ8g3XpiI/AAAAAAAABkY/hOCnImxW2Uk/s320/3+Sir+Ian+McKellan.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;"><strong></strong></span><span style="font-family:georgia;">Sir Ian McKellan ("Lord of the Rings," "X-Men") is one of the most celebrated actors on stage and screen.</span><br />

<p></strong></span></span><span style="font-family:georgia;">Rosie O'Donnell says she won't remarry partner Kelli Carpenter until gay marriages are recognized nationwide. The couple wed in 2004, but their marriage was later ruled invalid by the California Supreme Court. The Court reversed its decision in May 2008, once again recognizing gay marriage.</p>

<p></strong></span></span><span style="font-family:georgia;">Sir Elton John (pictured here with partner David Furnish) has been out for twenty years. His tireless support of AIDS charities has garnered him as much respect as his singing/songwritng talent.</p>
<p><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_p66VchL3WRo/SGeQP-ShACI/AAAAAAAABjo/z85RTE5u8BE/s1600-h/17+George+Michael.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_p66VchL3WRo/SGeQP-ShACI/AAAAAAAABjo/z85RTE5u8BE/s320/17+George+Michael.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Like Elton John, George Michael is a dynamic English-born performer who continues to draw crowds.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In light of all the celebrations happening today in San Francisco on the <a title="same sex marriages" href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hZmLBrL36NObNyMR0ghXN7vB5hYwD91C3HDO0" target="_blank" class="xLink">first full day of legal same sex marriages in California</a>, I thought I'd take a moment to acknowledge some of the gay musicians that have made a mark on the musical landscape.</p>
<p>Music certainly isn't the only thing evolving these days. I feel so fortunate to live in a progressive environment like the bay area, where conventions are challenged, change is embraced, and activism is the norm. Gay, straight, bisexual, white, black, brown, yellow, tall, short, fat, thin...we are all just people after all.</p>
<p>One of the pillars of <a title="anthropology" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropology" target="_blank" class="xLink">anthropology</a> that has stuck with me since college is the notion of "becoming familiar with the unfamiliar and becoming unfamiliar with the familiar." In other words, before you go judging what you don't understand because you think it's different or strange, try to understand it. And conversely, it's immensely insightful to view the things you are comfortable with from an outside perspective and realize that what you consider normal might seem quite abnormal to another person.</p>
<p>The traits we share are what make us human. But the traits we don't share are what make us unique. And interesting! So, let's celebrate our differences, shall we?</p>
<p>I think most people would acknowledge that there are a lot of gay* musicians out there. I could only think of the most obvious ones off the top of my head, so I did a little digging around and compiled this list:</p>
<p><em>*I'm including artists who are either gay OR bisexual to the best of my knowledge in this list, but please feel free to correct me if you find anything inaccurate!</em></p>

<p>And there you have it! Although the road ahead is clearly a bumpy one for same sex marriage, the recent events are groundbreaking and life-changing and I, for one, am very proud of California for being in the forefront of the movement. Whether you agree or disagree with what is going on in gay rights right now, I think most of us can agree that music as we know it would not be the same without the artists mentioned above.</p>
<p>And thus, I salute them.</p>

<p>We just came from The House Of Blues on Sunset for the New Kids On The Block performance that was billed as a warm up to their Today show performance this Friday.  They sounded REALLY amazing.  Their mics were on and they sounded good!</p>
<p>They kicked it off with a medley consisting of; "Step By Step", "Hanging Tough", "Please Don't Go Girl", &#38; "The Right Stuff" which included a reggae tone &#38; latin breakdown that was phat.  They had some go go dancers as well that were pretty hot.</p>
<p>They then addressed the crowd and let them know they plan on playing at the Staple Center later this fall.  We will be looking forward to it.  They let the capacity crowd know that playing the old songs is fun but it's good to drop the new stuff on you as they went into their brand new song "Summertime".</p>
<p>They closed the show with "Tonight".</p>
<p>We spotted Lance Bass in the crowd.  Hmm.  Which NKOTB member is he wanting some of?  Also, we spotted talented musican Mike Scott playing guitar for them, who last toured with Justin Timberlake.-Dr.FB</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Team Easton, the cast of the Bold and the Beautiful, Tori Spelling, that shrill chick from <em>So You Think You  Can Dance</em>, and Lance Bass rocked Eleven last night, at the fundraiser for AIDS Lifecycle, and they raised over $60,000 besides.</p>
<p>Tori, with child, embodied grace under pressure with her support at the event, chatting, announcing, raffling stuff off, and showing the love.  The lady is a champ.<!--more--></p>
<p>The Bold and Beautiful cast in attendance were lots of fun, and Winsor Harmon may have been the boldest and most gallant.  When he won the $7,800 Specialized bike with a single $10 ticket, he graciously threw the bike back into the game for a second drawing.</p>
<p>Lance Bass gets the biggest <a href="http://peacelovelunges.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/guycandy-of-the-day/" target="_blank">raves</a> of the night, however.  Unlike other "special guests" (any guesses?) who spent the evening in dark corners hunched over a Blackberry, Lance was present and engaged in the event, happily working the room, and generous with his support to make the event a huge success.  (As if he weren't adorable enough already.)</p>
<p>Mad, mad props to Team Easton and Eleven for a great night, and to everyone who made it possible for them to exceed their fundraising goal.  Have a great ride.</p>

<p>Inspirerad av Sarah Silvermans avslöjande - och av Silvermans stora popularitet - gjorde Hillary Clinton en egen film:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/skIlZflDs9Y'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/skIlZflDs9Y&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Vinner Hillary valet? Blir Hillary fru Obama? Hur tar Bill det? Det får vi kanske aldrig veta. Men Sarah Silvermans exboyfriend Jimmy Kimmel svarade Sarah med samma mynt:</p>

<p>Inför inspelningen av videon lyckades Jimmy Kimmel dra ihop ett litet gäng bestående av:</p>
<p>Jimmy Kimmel själv, Ben Affleck, Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, Benji Madden, Joel Madden, Dicky Barrett, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Lance Bass, Dominic Monaghan, Meatloaf, Pete Wentz, Joan Jett, Huey Lewis, Perry Farrell, Macy Gray och Josh Groban</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is the 11th annual National Day of Silence. The Day of Silence's purpose is to bring attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment and effective responses. Last year over 5,000 middle schools and high schools participated in the event. This year's event is being held in honor of Lawrence King, a 15-year-old boy in California who was shot and killed by a male classmate the day after Valentine's Day. All because Larry, as he was called, had asked the boy to be his Valentine.</p>
<p>Today children all over our country will observe this cause and we adults should follow suit. After all, the young boy who killed Larry probably didn't create his prejudice on his own. It is critical that our entire nation works towards eradicating prejudice and discrimination of all kinds.</p>
<p>Here is the PSA that was created by the Day of Silence organizers and singer Lance Bass:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/ah5eUz6iT9s'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/ah5eUz6iT9s&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>And here is a wonderful piece that Ellen Degeneres did about the Lawrence King:</p>

Durante este dia, estudantes de todo o país são convidados a fazer um voto de silêncio que duro todo o dia.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Este é o décimo segundo ano do programa - na maioria deles a data é realizada às sextas-feiras - e nesta edição a homenagem e a Lawrence "Larry" King, um jovem de 15 anos da california que morreu baleado em fevereiro, assassinado por um estudante conhecido seu, que alegou ter atirado em King por que ele era gay.<!--more--></p>

Ontém a noite ele tirou uma folga de seus afazeres na Pennsylvania para gravar um anuncio de solidariedade ao Grupo e ao Dia do Silêncio.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“Larry King e eu dividimos mais em comum do que somente nomes,” disse King durante o spot gravado, que pode ser visto no <em>You Tube</em>. “Nós dois acreditamos que todos os estudantes tem o direito de serem livres para serem o que são, sem medo do que serão chamadaos, sem medo de bullying ou perseguições.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O presidente da GLSEN, Kevin Jennings, disse que King concordou imediatamente em participar da campanha quando foi contactado. “Larry King nos ajudou a alcançar a grande audiência que o prestigia toda noite,” disse Jennings. “Eu não vejo isso necessariamente como um fenômeno do YouTube, mais eu acredito que isso alcance mais do que o esperado.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A gravação com King aconteceu depois que Lance Bass, ex-N'Sync, gravou o seguinte comentário: “Quem quer que seja, qualquer que seja sua crença ou base, estes estudantes vão entrar em ação pq eles acreditam que o bullying e o assédio têm que acabar,” disse Bass. “O que você vai fazer para quebrar o silencio?”</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lance Bass, the openly gay former member of N'Sync, is speaking out in support of GLBT youth with a new PSA to raise awareness about the 12th annual <a href="http://www.dayofsilence.org/"><em>Day of Silence</em></a>. On April 25th thousands of students across the U.S. will take a vow of silence as a way to protest the bullying, harassment and discrimination that gay kids face in schools.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/ah5eUz6iT9s'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/ah5eUz6iT9s&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><!--more-->This year the <a href="http://www.dayofsilence.org/"><em>Day of Silence</em></a> is dedicated to Lawrence King, the 15 year old openly gay student who was gunned down by a classmate in February for being gay.</p>
<p>Students will hand out "Speaking Cards" which say</p>
<blockquote><p>Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in the Day of Silence, a national youth movement bringing attention to the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies in schools. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by name-callinmg, bullying and harassment. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward fighting these injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today. What are you going to do to end the silence?</p></blockquote>
<p>The 2005 National School Climate Survey by <a href="http://glsen.org">GLSEN</a> found that 4 out of 5 LGBT students report verbal, sexual or physical harassment at school and more than 30% report missing at least a day of school in the past month out of fear for their personal safety. </p>
<p>It is pretty damn amazing to me that with it essentially being open season for attacks at GLBT youth that activists are too busy fighting one another to defend gay kids.</p>

<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>In the Name of Faith and Love: For The Bible Tells Me So</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">An NPR Audio Discussion of For The Bible Tells Me So</span>:</strong></p>
<p>[audio=http://sq.txdnl.com/mwt/d/i/s/e/disembedded/playlists/48421/1478323.mp3&#124;lefticon=0xcf36ff&#124;righticon=0xcf36ff]</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">"<em>The Bible is the word of God through the word of human beings, speaking in the idiom of their time, and the richness of the Bible comes from the fact that we don't take it as literally so that it was dictated by God</em>," Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Can the love between two people ever truly be an abomination?   Is the schism that separates  gay and lesbian persons from Christianity destined to be always too wide to cross?    How can the Bible be used to justify hatred?   These are the questions that are at the heart of <em>For The Bible Tells Me So</em>, an exploration of the religious right's use of the Bible to justify shutting gay and lesbian people out of the faiths into which they've been born and in which they've grown up.   One of the central figures in <em>For The Bible Tells Me So</em> is Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, the first-ever openly gay man to be elected a Bishop of the Episcopalian Church.   Robinson's consecration in 2003 (at which he had to wear a bullet-proof vest due to death threats against him) was a historical occasion, but also one that caused a rift within the Episcopal church.   On a more personal level, the consecration was the quintessential moment of the path on which Robinson had first embarked some 20 years earlier when, with the support of his then-wife, Isabella, he came out of the closet after years of attempting to live as a straight man and seeking counseling to rid himself of his "<em>gay feelings</em>."</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The film explores, with various historians and religious figures, including Robinson and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the use of the Bible in the religous right's attempts to portray gay and lesbian people as being abominations against God and nature.  The film seeks to both put a face on the issue of religion and gay life, and to give people dealing with family and friends who rely upon the same old Bible verses about gays a Biblical perspective of their own from which to respond.  But at its heart this is a film not about historical Biblical theory, but about the real lives of families with gay and lesbian sons and daughters, and how they have reconciled their faith with their love for their children.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It also narrates the story of Chrissy Gephardt, who finally came out as a lesbian to her family just as her father, former House minority leader Richard Gephardt, was about to embark on his campaign for the Presidency.  Chrissy talks about enduring a sexless marriage to a man before falling in love with a lesbian friend, admitting the truth about herself, coming out and eventually joining her father on the campaign trail, with his support and encouragement.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The film also introduces the Poteats, an African-American family in which both parents are preachers still struggling to accept that their daughter, Tonia, is a lesbian.   David Poteat, Tonia's father, says in the film that when his children (a son and a daughter) were growing up, "<em>I said God, please don't let my son grow up to be a faggot and my daughter a slut</em>."   He chuckles ironically and adds, "<em>And he did not.   He did not do that.   He reversed it</em>."   The Poteat family story resonates with the unmistakable sounds of truth, love, and pain.   These are parents who have struggled to accept their daughter as a lesbian, but still love her immensely and have never cut off their relationship with her.   But the Poteats aren't all the way there yet.   Tonia speaks longingly of a day when her parents would willingly and gladly come to her wedding with her partner.   But at least they are working on it, and they haven't rejected their daughter.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The film avoids demonizing the religious right, instead simply holding up the families who are at the heart of the story and saying: Here they are.  These are the gay people you so fear, and they are your sons and daughters, your brothers and sisters, the neighbors you've known for years.   It speaks to the central point of the religious right's objection to homosexuality without attacking those who hold those beliefs.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>For The Bible Tells Me So</em> made its world premiere in competition at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.   The film was also honored with Audience Awards at the 2007 Seattle and Provincetown International Film Festivals and The Kathleen Bryan Edwards Award for Human Rights at the 2007 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.   This provocative, entertaining film concisely reconciles homosexuality and a literal interpretation of Biblical scripture.   It offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone who desperately feels caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">There were many responses to the classroom killing of Larry King in Oxnard, California, and the ongoing violence against gay people that it so tragically represented, which included the now well-known statement that was made by <a href="../2008/02/29/ellen-degeneres-speaks-about-the-killing-of-larry-king/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ellen DeGeneres</span></a> on her television program.  <em>Be A Voice Against Violence</em> is a Public Service Announcement video calling for all of us to take a stand against violence.  The video includes appearances by Ashanti, Andre 3000, TR Knight, and  Janet Jackson and was also created in response to the Larry King murder:</p>

<p><!-- /PURGE: /2008/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/18/people.lance.bass.ap/art.bass.ap.jpg --> <!--endclickprintexclude-->So he's made a public service announcement for the Gay, Lesbian &#38; Straight Education Network (GLSEN). The spot, which is being distributed virally Friday, debuts in advance of the 11th annual National Day of Silence on April 25, when students take a vow of silence to protest bullying, harassment and discrimination in schools.</p>
<p>"I think it's time for me to stand up ... and help educate, because I'm lucky enough to have been given a voice to be able to talk and grab the attention of people," said the 28-year-old singer, who's gay.</p>
<p>"Everyday, thousands of students are silenced. They're silenced by fear, they're silenced for being who they are. ... They're brothers, they're sisters, they're gay, they're straight, they're you, they're me."</p>
<p>Bass, who recently completed a stint in the Broadway musical "Hairspray" and released a memoir, said the PSA is meant to honor Lawrence King -- a 15-year-old student was shot and killed in February in Oxnard, California, by a younger boy because he arrived at school in feminine attire.</p>
<p>"I heard about Lawrence on the news, and it was just incredible to me that kids that age that would have such an issue ... with the subject of being gay," said Bass, who was part of the boy band 'N Sync. "It also shows me that these kids don't -- they don't learn (bigotry) on their own. ... They're being told by older siblings or family members or other fellow students."</p>
<p>Bass -- who joined 'N Sync in 1995 with Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick -- announced in July 2006 that he's gay. It took him a while to come out. ('N Sync went on hiatus in 2002 and has virtually disbanded now that Justin Timberlake's career has taken off.)</p>
<p>"I was very scared of ruining my four best friends' careers," he said. "The ignorance in me thought that if I did reveal that, that our whole life would crash and the group would end because everyone would hate us. But now I see how stupid that was, and I wish I could go back and be able to tell the world who I really was.</p>
<p>"And I think it would have been fine. My fans have always still stood by me, and they haven't changed. And I think it would have been great to be able to come out (at) the height of like the 'N Sync heyday -- I think it could have helped a lot of people."</p>
<p>On a lighter note: Will there ever be an 'N Sync reunion?</p>
<p>For Lance's answer to this qustion, check out the rest of the article at CNN.com</p>
<p>http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/18/people.lance.bass.ap/index.html#cnnSTCText</p>
<p>** It is clear his career has not taken a turn for the better since the breakup of his boy band, 'N Sync.  Perhaps, he can open up for the New Kids on the Block tour later this year.  New Kids in a Dress?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I feel . . . <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-143" src="http://joshtin87.wordpress.com/files/2008/04/pissed-off.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="84" /></p>
<p>I don't know what it is, but for some reason, I've had the feeling of really wanting to either bash someone's face in, or just hit something repeatedly really really hard. I dunno . . . Maybe it's . . . Ya know . . . No? Well, me neither. =P I decided to work off my rage at the gym. Hey, be proud of me, I worked out for an hour and a half! But it didn't really help. Grrr . . . And now, I still wanna hit something! And I know I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight until that feeling goes away, which can be a while.</p>
<p>Not too long ago, I heard Rascal Flatts' "What Hurts The Most" and that is now my new song obsession . . . Until something else caches my interest. The video is actually really sad. I cry every time I watch it. Especially when I need a good cry. (Ladies, you know what I'm talking about) Think you're tough enough? Here, see for yourself . . .<br />
<span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/QJEs1TyzL_A'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/QJEs1TyzL_A&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span><br />
So, how'd you do? If you didn't cry . . . Then good for you!</p>
<p>Oh yeah, it's definitely that time! Grrr . . . Okay, let's do this . . . (Deep breath) G-D D$@* IT! SON OF A M+#$@&#38; S*?@&#62;! YOU @#$%^&#38;*&#62;?/&#60;+! . . . Okay . . . I feel a little better now . . . Just a little . . .</p>
<p>Okay, now on to a lighter, yet a bit more scarier side . . .<br />
<span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/LZfj7uudd7E'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/LZfj7uudd7E&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span><br />
He changes her diapers??? NO FAIR!!! I've been doing it myself all this time! lol Just playing . . . Or am I???</p>

Sorry . . . But the critic in me just had to come out for this one. Now, this is my first time viewing this music video, and I've got a few questions I'd like to ask . . .<br />
1) When does Madonna actually sing in this song?<br />
2) Did ya'll notice that the video ended at 4:04 . . . What happened in those 4 seconds . . . Did they fail? (Muahahahaha!!!)<br />
3) Why don't they get sucked into the black abyss?<br />
4)Who the hell choreographed this song?</p>
<p>Okay, I need my Ishkabibble . . .<br />

<p>I honestly thought that I was gonna have an okay day . . . But I guess I was wrong!!!</p>
<p>First, I had an uber lame World History Mid-term . . . which I had studied my ASS OFF for last night . . . Only to get, what else, test anxiety in the middle of the freaking test!!! 2 Essays, 1 Hour, 3 Sources, NO OPEN BOOK!!! WHY????</p>
<p>Oh, but it gets better!!!</p>
<p>Every Thursday, my History teacher assigns us Essays to give in and she gives back the essays from the previous week at the end of class . . . Well, guess whos essay she didn't have? Yup, that's right! MINE!!! I guess it is my fault for not passing it up with the rest of the class and just plopping it on her desk at the end of class, but if someone had TURNED AROUND AND ASKED FOR IT - you know who you are - then there wouldn't have been any problems!!! So, I told her that I could print out another copy and give it to her on Monday, and she said that she would look for it . . . But that I can't get full credit because  it's late . . . WHAT THE FUX!!!! IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU LOST IT!!! Than again, this is the same teacher who gave me three cuts because I missed the first week (The classes) of class . . . Hmmm . . . Maybe it's because I . . . WASN'T REGISTERED FOR THE CLASS TO BEGIN WITH!!! IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!! Grrr . . . People suck.</p>
<p>Now, I have a 3 hour break . . . With NOTHING to do!</p>
<p>LAME!</p>
<p>I have a test @ 11:45 in Math, but I'm pretty confident in that. *sigh* . . . So bored . . . Tired of being shat on . . . Yes people . . . I said shat . . . and I'll say it again . . . Shat shat shat shat shat . . . Muahahahaha!!!</p>
<p>Sorry . . . Random . . . Annoyed . . . Oh well . . . Nothing a little N'sync couldn't clear up!</p>

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!</p>
<p>Okay, so that made me feel a little better . . . But I'm still annoyed . . . Don't forget that people!</p>
<p>*sigh* I guess I'll go to the gym after school . . . Work off all this . . . this . . . this anger growing deep down inside me . . . Wow . . . Okay, that was TOO Emo . . . Guess it's back to therapy for me! Whoo hoo!!!! Can I bring them with me?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From an incredibly enlightened SCSU student's facebook status message:<br />
<br><br><br />
"<span class="inserted"> <em>... is SO GLAD that there is a queer coming to campus tonight to talk about SHIT!! yeah ok....go st. cloud!!</em>"</span><br />
<br><br><br />
Yeah, I mean Lance Bass shouldn't even be allowed on campus. What <em>were</em> we thinking? Of course, I can't expect too much more from someone who's had the following quote up as long as I've known them:<br />
<br><br><br />
"<em>..., u know me. I hate faggots with a passion. I wish I could kill them all. Escpessially that one that walks around with his head up and his eyes are nearly shut. I just want to kick his head off!!</em>"<br />
<br><br><br />
I can almost respect someone's anti-homosexuality view if it's more than a "yuck, that's gross!" argument and the person is capable of discussing it rationally and calmly, without throwing in "faggot" and "queer." Talking about killing them all and suggesting that we shouldn't even let someone who's not heterosexual speak on campus, though? That's just making a bad name for SCSU, not to mention the political party she belongs to and is fairly active in on campus.</p>
<p>If you really admire people who want to "kill all the faggots," dear, then for the good of everyone around you, stay out of the public eye.</p>
<p>Guess I don't have to be "escpessially" concerned that she'll ever be taken too seriously, though.</p>

<p><strong>101.1 FM WRIF - From August 2, 2006 </strong>- Drew and Mike talk about how the news is going crazy over the heat.  Also, Drew and Mike call celebrity phone numbers (and speak to Vice President Al Gore). Which leads to him playing an hilarious interview Harvey Levin has with Paris Hilton.</p>

<description><![CDATA[What should be censored? Society has deemed it necessary to censor everything from racist warner bro]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="2"><a href="http://johnnyism.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/lance-bass-before-gay.jpg" title="lance-bass-before-gay.jpg"></a>What should be censored? Society has deemed it necessary to censor everything from racist warner brother cartoons to superbowl half time shows (I mean really, who actually cared to see hers anyways? Am I right? Huh? Am I?). I have decided that while I explain to you how sometimes we take censorship to far, I will do so with colorful language. I am aware that some people who read my blog could be offended by such colorful language, so I have decided that every time I am about to use such a word, it will be substituted with names for cute baby animals. How am I able to do this? That’s simple. Cause I am the PUPPY.</font><font size="2">If you don’t think that censorship has gone off the deep end, then you are one stupid mother KOALA BEAR. Pretty soon we will not have anything remotely resembling free speech. And what is worse, it is almost as if it’s selective censorship. If a woman says something, I can’t say anything cause then I’d be a sexist. If an African american says something, I can’t say anything cause I’d be a racist. If an arab comes running at me with a bomb strapped to his chest screaming “DIE YOU SONS OF KITTENS!” then I am a dirty american. When did america become this super sensitive country, a BEAR CUB if you will? Let us examine this question…</font><font size="2">It was a tough year. JFK had been shot years ago. Man had already pretended to of landed on the moon. Rap had unfortunately become a form of music. Garth Brooks still played concerts. Britney Spears hadn’t had kids or flashed her BUNNY RABBIT yet. Justin was still in Nsync (pre gay Lance Bass). Here is an artist drawing of Lance Bass.</p>
<p><a href="http://johnnyism.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/lance-bass-before-gay.jpg" title="lance-bass-before-gay.jpg"></a><a href="http://johnnyism.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/lance-bass-before-gay.jpg" title="lance-bass-before-gay.jpg"></a><a href="http://johnnyism.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/lance-bass-before-gay.jpg" title="lance-bass-before-gay.jpg"><img src="http://johnnyism.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/lance-bass-before-gay.jpg" alt="lance-bass-before-gay.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><font size="2">And just for TIGER CUBs and giggles, here is an artist drawing of what Lance Bass looked like after he came out and said he was gay.</font><font size="2"><a href="http://johnnyism.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/lance-bass-after-gay.jpg" title="lance-bass-after-gay.jpg"><img src="http://johnnyism.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/lance-bass-after-gay.jpg" alt="lance-bass-after-gay.jpg" /></a></font><font size="2"><font size="2"></font><font size="2">The country itself became ultra sensitive after Johnny began doing his blogs. That’s right. It’s my fault. Due to my lack of caring what people think. Due to my WINNIE THE POOH off attitude. My rebelness has destroyed america! But have no fear, I am here to tell us all how to fix it.</font><font size="2">1. Have a sense of humor. The main reason so many people make it harder on everyone else is due to the serious lack of sense of humor that has grown. It is out of control. It is almost impossible not to offend someone. When santa says HO HO HO women rights groups are offended. When a white guy gets a job over a black guy Jesse Jackson is outraged. When Celine Dion sings a song anyone with a single thread of taste in music is offended. That son of a MUSKRAT. If we could all get back to having our sense of humors back, think of all the good it will do. Men, women, and children holding hands. Divorce rates will decline. Catholic Priests will stop inappropriately GERBILing young boys. All will be right in the world.</font><font size="2">2. Stop being selfish. Hey, if you don’t like whats on tv, then change the channel. Or better yet, turn the television off. Stop letting the tv set raise your kids anyways. Lets try our best to dwindle the nerd population huh? Together we can do that. All those nerds can just go to PANDA BEAR CUB.</p>
<p>3. Elect Johnny president. that’s right, president. You want to make this country great again, elect me. Worried about our economy? No problem. Worried about gas prices? Actually, those are getting really HUMAN BABY expensive. But together, we can help to make america amazing again!!!</p>
<p>So there you have it folks. Censorship is getting so out of hand that I doubt you’ll even be able to read this if this blog got into the wrong hands!!! Stay tuned for the next topic!</p>
<p>*special thanks to Amy for inspiring me to write this one.  send all complaints to her*</p>
