Y'all seen my good for nothing brother?

Oh, I forgot; he told me Leonardo Dicaprio has a new movie out this weekend. He is very excited. He's seen all of Leonardo's movies.

I expect he'll be posting a review over at the BloggerBlaster soon....

Mark Foley to Test the Axiom

"There are really only two things fatal in politics: to be found in bed with a live man or a dead woman."

Granted, the pillow-biter lobby and it's champions have forced the substitution of "boy" for "man" in the phrase, but the concept still exists that there are depths of public conduct from which a political career cannot recover. Mark Foley, according to Drudge, has made an initial thrust toward ameliorating his responsibility in the eyes of the public. "Hey, I was drunk!"

What should be interesting is the public's reaction to this. I will consider it to be a good indicator of the how far the general populace's "pervert detector" has been de-tuned.

American's (in general) have been grading moral fitness on a curve for sometime now. As another perversion becomes normalized this curve gets steeper to allow that perversions practicianers to hold moral equivalence with more upright ways of life. We shall soon see just how steep this curve has gotten.

The pervert-o-meter is in full swing right now; an old man and a young boy. Let's see if the alcoholic amelioration attempt serves to dampen its movement.


UPDATE: Two newspapers and Fox News (The one with the hot chicks) sat on this story to protect the old fag lest the public overreact due to him being a pillow biter.

"Our decision at the time was ... that because the language was not sexually explicit and was subject to interpretation, from innocuous to 'sick,' as the page characterized it, to be cautious," said Tom Fiedler, executive editor of the Herald. "Given the potentially devastating impact that a false suggestion of pedophilia could have on anyone, not to mention a congressman known to be gay, and lacking any corroborating information, we chose not to do a story."

This type of editorial decision happens all the time. An example would be the unreported black on white crime statistics. The newsies believe themselves to be fighting stereotypes, regardless of their accuracy.
