Stand with Cho. Tell Bush No!

Stand with Cho! Tell Bush No!

It is now clear that President Bush and the Republicans will use attacks against
gays and lesbians as their 2004 election year strategy.

This week, President Bush officially declared his support for the Federal
Marriage Amendment -- a measure that would write discrimination into the United
States Constitution.

This is our year to fight back and be heard.

If we stand united in 2004, we can protect our civil rights and liberties and
protect the constitution from the hands of the far-right conservatives. That's
why I want you to add your name along with mine to this petition -- it's time to
stand up and be heard.

Our goal is huge -- 500,000 signers by June -- Pride month. I want you to sign
it and I want you to pass it to your friends. This is critical to our civil
rights and liberties.

Bush can't run on his record, so he'll work to divide Americans on wedge issues
like same-sex marriage to ignite his failing campaign. What's worse -- he's
willing to do it by darkening our Constitution with an amendment that forbids
our rights instead of protecting them -- the only amendment to do so save
Prohibition.

All of our civil rights are at stake, and we must do everything we can to
protect them. Let's start by showing them we are many, united, and will not be
silent any longer. Please sign this petition today and join with the DNC in
making our voices heard and defeating Bush in November.

Sincerely, Margaret Cho

This, from her fan site:

"Although there may be things about Margaret that may lead you to believe she's gay, such as 1. she loves going to gaybars (it's not hard to spot her, she's always the one most dressed up and messed up), 2. likes everything about sex except the penetration part, she is not a lesbian, which is a shame because she is so good at softball. Also, Margaret does have, rare as it is, straight boyfriends. (Margaret loves straight men because they are so simple.) She also has a dog named Ralph (as in Fiennes). Margaret's mom loves her dog because she thinks he looks like Happy, a dog they used to have. Margaret has noticed that sometimes the dog gets jealous of the boyfriend."

But she did come out about sexual experiences with women a couple of years ago.

I saw her show on cable. Her mother and father were in the audience and she described being "fisted" by a very short girl.
It was funny but ewwww

Someone sent this to me via email, thought I would share...

Subject: George Bush Resume
Seeking Job:

Past Work Experience

GEORGE W. BUSH
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20520

LAW ENFORCEMENT:
I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for
driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty,
paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for
30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and
is not available.

MILITARY:
I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL.
I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions
about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National
Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.

COLLEGE:
I graduated from Yale University with a low C average.
I was a cheerleader.

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:
I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in
the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an Oil
company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went
bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. I bought the Texas
Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using
taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our friends in the
oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor
of Texas.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS
I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies,
making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. During my tenure,
Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in
America. I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune
of billions in borrowed money. I set the record for the most
executions by any governor in American history. With
the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my
father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became
President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:
I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a
criminal record. I invaded and occupied two countries at a
continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week. I spent the U.S.
surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury. I shattered the
record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history. I set an economic
record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.
I set the all- time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.
I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history
of the U.S. stock market. In my first year in office, over 2 million
Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.
I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any
administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza
Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.
I set the record for most campaign fundraising trips by a U.S.
President. I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for
receiving the most corporate campaign donations. My largest lifetime
campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay,
presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S.
History, Enron.
My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys
to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election
decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton
against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent
investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent
investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. I
presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused
to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was
revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S.
history. I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals
to be awarded government contracts. I appointed more
convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S.
history. I created the Ministry of Homeland security, the
largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States
government. I've broken more international treaties than
any President in U.S. history. I am the first President in
U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S.
from the Human Rights Commission. I withdrew the U.S.
from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspector's
access to U.S. "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby
have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention. I am the
first President in history to refuse United Nations election
inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).

I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences
of any President since the advent of television. I set the all-time
record for most days on vacation in any one-year period. After
taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst
security failure in U.S. history. I garnered the most sympathy for
the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year
later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the
largest failure of diplomacy in world history. I have set the
all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously
protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the
record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.
I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked,
preemptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign
nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the
majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community. I have cut
health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty
benefits for active duty troops and their families -- in wartime. In
my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for
attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends. I am
the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans
(71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and
security. I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker
Buster," a W.M.D.

I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden
[sic] to justice.


RECORDS AND REFERENCES:
All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's
library, sealed and unavailable for public view. All records of SEC
investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are
sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. All records or
minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended
regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable
for public review.

PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004.

Her heart is in the right place, but I'm not as big a fan of hers as other people here.

Too often, she'll sock over a funny punch line. Then repeat it. And repeat it. And repeat it.

But I adore her mother's phone message:
"Mar-gret! Pick up the phone! (pause) I think you GAY. You GAY. Only GAY screen calls!"

I signed the petition. I love Cho! I saw her perform The Notorious C.H.O. in Edinburgh (which she worked into the show when she toured the US - C.C. Blooms joke). It was hilarious! The venue was teeny tiny and tickets were only $10. I was in the first row about 4 feet away from her for the entire show. Most of the audience were British and were unfamiliar with her work, but they really seemed to like her. The only problem was, I drank about 3 pints of cider and forgot to go to the bathroom before the show. Bad idea. I was laughing, but in so much pain!
