a great, yet disturbing, article from the Village Voice

"There's just not open-mindedness there."
one of the most hypocritical lines I have ever read
I was going to post my full opinions in detail, but realized my words are completely inadequate

I'd like to instead quote one of my favorite plays, The Laramie Project:
"My parents were like, 'So what plays are you doing this year at school?' And I was like, 'Angels in America' and I told them the whole list of plays. And they're like, 'Angels in America? Is that...that play you did in high school? That scene you did in high school?' And I was like, 'Yeah.' And she goes:'Huh. So are you gonna audition for it?' And I was like, 'Yeah.' And then we got in this huge argument...and my best, the best thing that I knew I had then on is it was just after they had seen me in a performance of Macbeth, and onstage like I murdered like a little kid, and Lady Macduff and these two other guys and like she goes,'Well, you know homosexuality is a sin'- she kept saying that- and I go, 'Mom, I just played a murderer tonight. And you didn't seem to have a problem with that.'" Updated On: 10/20/04 at 09:06 AM

I still don't understand how supporting capital punishment and corporal punishment make Bush the candidate of "family values". Maybe we just don't beat and kill enough in my family. I guess we're amoral or something.

Sure, he's a proponent of family values. As long as it's his idea of a family- Christian and nu-cu-lar. But he'll make an exception if you support his campaign enough, I'm sure.
