Piss Christ & Mary [With Elephant Dung]

502

Piss Christ


Ofili

The Virgin Mary [executed in, among other things, elephant dung]

The Rightwing Christians are suddenly anti-censorship, since it suddenly suits their own selfish purposes to take that tack. Dear me, moral relativism! I'll hold my breath for them to start supposed naked breasts and erect penises on primetime broadcast television.

Remember how up in arms the Christians got because of these works of art? The only difference is that here, with wide and varying access to differing points of view (enjoy it while it lasts, folks) helped to temper and mollify, diffuse and expand.

The Whittington Corollaries

  1. In San Francisco, when one man takes another man into the woods and shoots all over the other's face, we call that a Trick.

  2. Saying “Dr. Pepper” when you really had beer is like going into a gay bar wearing a t-shirt that says, “I'm only here doing research.” I'm sure that for him, being drunk is “just a phase”.

  3. How much do you wanna bet that Dick Cheney was sure to burn the dress that had the beer stains on it? (I'd go for more, but I don't want to even think about what passes for a Texan Bohemian Grove.)

Cheney was quoted as saying, “You can't blame anybody else” about the shooting. But who's really blaming anyone but you, Dick? Eighteen hours happens to be quite long enough for anyone to piss out whatever alcohol they were drinking. But you know, if that's your story, just be make sure no one finds a way to do an end-run around your story, have your friends tell the press that you did have “one cocktail” (which is up from “no cocktails” in the original story) after they took you friend to the hospital.

But then again, what kind of message does that send to [cue crying violins] the chilllllldren! when you take a drink to calm your nerves? That drugs really are ok to use as a coping mechanism?

Funny thing, when you've created such a privilege for yourself that you can be the head of the US Government (let's not kid ourselves) and still expect people to “do as I say not as I do”. On second thought, there's really nothing at all funny about it.

I Shouldn't Be Here

The power is out in our little neck of the hippie woods of San Francisco's Bernal Heights area. Our little sylvan hill—or at least our little area of it—is without electricity. It's so quiet in the house that it makes me need to seriously think about the number of gadgets that we keep running at any given moment.

Anyhoo, I shouldn't be here. Shouldn't be typing into my blog, shouldn't be online. No juice, right?

We have in our possession a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), one that I totally forgot we had. But as the power went out, there was a beeping coming from the front rooms. Lo and behold...net salvation!

We plugged in the cable modem and the Airport Extreme Basestation into it and voilà! Our iBook and PowerBook were back in business.

Good Lord, we're geeks. Ahh, and now the power is back on.

[beat]

Isn't it funny how sentiments are a subjective thing, and so the expression thereof can be so wildly different from couple to couple while the sentiment itself, according to all evidence, so similiar?

♥♥♥ Happy ♥alentine's Day, Hallmark! ♥♥♥

Crying Mohammed! Fire! in a Crowded World Moviehouse

Leave it to that shrill bitch to pour gasoline on a fire.

She calls for all blogs to participate in a “blogburst” to post all the “forbidden” cartoons. “Forbidden”? God, if I didn't hate that bitch's self-loathing rhetoric so much I could applaud her for her sense of theatrics. Instead, it's just histrionics.

Malkin and the crazy right wing blogbursters—the selfsame people who accuse the progressives of being “blog-addicted”—are purely, puerilely hostile. They're not speaking freely, they just want dissenters to shut up.

And for all the posturing in this country about the sanctity of ____, and the fear that the Christians are being plowed under and are “under attack” by the larger American society, she sets out to be the biggest cunt she can be by espousing the tactics she sooooo deplores in others.

She's counting on the irrational pleadings of hyper-religious leaders as the sole source of information in order to accelerate the violence and extreme religious reaction.

All of this, you stupid bitch Michelle, is called hypocrisy.

Freedom of speech is one thing, a sacred thing if that parlance is more organic to you. But crying fire in a crowded moviehouse isn't free speech, it's hostility.
