A Blunt Can't Stop A Boehner

It's official, Republicans like Boehner.

Now, while I can't always say a Boehner is superior to a Blunt, in this particular case, knowing what I do about this Blunt, I'd have to say the Republicans made a wise choice.

And for my friend David, who has an inexplicible and nightmarishly disturbing crush on boy governor Baby Blunt (notice the absence of "wonder" after boy in that last phrase), all I can say is maybe this is your chance. Perhaps the raging Boehner's punishing pounding of Big Blunt will so depress Baby Blunt that he'll get drunk and do one of those "It doesn't make you gay if you don't kiss" things. It's a long shot, but in a world where a Boehner beats a Blunt, anything is possible.

He's gonna be HUGE after this.

A friend recommended the move "The End of the Spear" to me the other day and while I generally tend to shy away from films with overly explicit religious messages (pro- or con-, doesn't matter, I go to movies for escapism), I may have to see this one because it is now steeped in controversy.

Newsflash: Chad Allen is gay, open about it and playing a missionary and this apparently pisses some people off although sun still managed to somehow rise this morning.

Frankly, I've never been all that impressed with Chad Allen's acting chops and time has not been kind to him as he's aged from the irrepressable child star to the gay rights activist and actor. However, I see absolutely no reason to get all pissy because he's an actor playing a role who might not actually be the person he's portraying in real life.

The Rev. Jason Janz needs to have the word "actor" defined for him. He also needs to stop creating problems where none exist. It sickens me that Janz would actually advocate a return to McCarthy-ism by suggesting only actors who's personal politics match the person they're playing should be eligible for the role. Although I guess it would get Jim Cavawhatever more work. Not impressed with him, though, either.

Furthermore, leave it to the idiot Baptists to suggest firebombing the filmmaker's houses, although they did tone that down by saying that would "probably" be too much. Or maybe they're wanting to firebomb Chad Allen's house? Or just the houses of gay people in general.

I guess we do have terrorists in this country. Apparently, their leader is Kevin T. Bauder, president of Central Baptist Seminary.

Hope you enjoy Gitmo, you insane fuck.
