CHRISTMAS IN JULY - WITH QUEER DUCK & PAT ROBERTSON

Pat Robertson is up to his old ways ñ heís launched a prayer offensive against the US Supreme Court urging the retirement of 3 unnamed ìliberalî justices, based on the Courtís recent ruling that overturned a Texas law that banned same-sex sodomy, effectively overturning similar laws in 12 other states. His actions speak for themselves ñ heís gone so far out in left field that he has reached what Isaac Asimov called ìcircleís end,î ñ right where you started. He is just as dangerous to the American way of life as are Islamic fundamentalists who advocate a state run by religious leaders in a religious manner. And . . . for another religious matter, I offer Christmas in July.

I recently met Mike Reiss, a writer for The Simpsons, and he talked a lot about writing comedy and connecting with the audience. Iím fascinated by his cartoon short series called "Queer Duck," which aired on Showtime following episodes of Queer as Folk. The episodes are only about 2 minutes long. Go to this website & check out Episode 19, ìSanta Claus Is Gay.î

The juxtaposition of Pat Robertson's rant with darling Queer Duck reminds me of a line from "The Opposite of Sex." I can't quite quote her, but the Christina Ricci character said something to the effect of "real straight guys don't spend too much time thinking about gays. Straight guys obsessed with homosexuality are known as 'closet cases.'" Just a thought, Mr. Robertson....

By the way, three of those justices would easily not be missed, but they were on the dissenting opinion of that case.

hey man it is all about freedom. anybody can say what they want at any time thats the way the u.s.a. works.

the only people that listen to him are living room sheep so dont let this dipshit get too you, and rember the bakbone of your world is freedom to say, do and be who you are.
