So, everyone is up in arms with the hullabaloo that is the New York Times cartoon allegedly depicting Barack Obama as a monkey, a chimp actually. It is pulling elements such as the demise of Travis the crazy chimp and the controversial stimulus bill.

Something tells me that the NY Times cartoonist, whomever he or she is, didn’t mean for it to be intended in the way it was, they didn’t mean for it to be a racist cartoon. I highly doubt that the New York Times would publish a cartoon they figured depicted the President of the United States as a monkey, a chimp with three bullet holes in it’s chest at that. No way.

More likely, it was intended to simply imply that those who created the stimulus bill are a little on the dull side, perhaps less evolved than the rest of us. It wasn’t meant to draw parallels between black people and monkeys. At least I hope so. For now I am going to give this NY Times cartoon the benefit of the doubt and go with the idea that they didn’t realize the way this would be seen.

In other words, the editors at the New York Times who deal with the cartoon sections are not racist, they’re just stupid.

I am pretty mad right now. I had read on WhiteKnot.org that Dave Grohl, Adele, Michael Buble and some other artists were going to wear white knots to the Grammy’s to show their support of gay marriage.

Well, I watched the Grammy’s and there were NO white knots to be seen. Even the artists who had pledged to wear them did not and it’s a shame too because Adele won. Her wearing it would have helped the cause a lot, but no, she chickened out.

Cowards. People are cowards and you know what? Who needs them. The gay rights movement needs people with some backbone, not some wimpy assed babies who can’t even stand up to the man enough to wear a goddamn white ribbon. It’s pathetic!

Shame on you Adele. Shame on you Dave Grohl.

I want you to read the following article very carefully. I will post my comments, and I have plenty of them, below in pretty pink-ish purple

Komo News Article By Martha Kang

KING COUNTY, Wash. — Prosecutors here have charged a man accused of trying to sacrifice his live-in girlfriend. Creepy!

Oumar Lam, 31, of Seattle has been charged with assault in the first degree, domestic violence.

Prosecutors said Lam attacked his 26-year-old girlfriend of six months with a kitchen knife when she came home from work on Jan. 25.

According to the statement of probable cause, Lam pounced on his girlfriend while she was changing in the bedroom. Lam, who was stark naked, attacked her from behind, put a pillowcase over her head and covered her mouth.

Lam took a kitchen knife to his girlfriend’s throat and sliced it open, the document states. He then began yelling in another language.

The woman tried to fight him off, but Lam pulled her into the living room and in front of an altar he had set up. He then stabbed her in the chest, lower back and shoulder.

The victim managed to reach her cell phone and call 911, then rushed to the bathroom to rinse off. See, this is where they lose me. She is bleeding from multiple knife wounds, her crazy boyfriend is screaming at her in strange tongues, buck naked, and she goes to the bathroom to rinse off?

Was she worried the blood might stain her clothes or something? I would probably have chosen to run out the front door myself, but I can see not wanting people to see you so messy. Goodness, you might bleed on someone, how rude!

Lam followed and tried to throw her in the bathtub, repeating “Die, die and go alone. You have to go by yourself.”

The woman took his words to mean he was going to kill her “as a part of a sacrifice,” and grew very fearful. She grabbed her coat (Really?? Was she afraid she’d catch a cold?)and ran out the apartment. Okay, so let’s break this down: her boyfriend, naked as a jaybird:

And only then, after all that, she “grew afraid”? WTF?? I would have thought fear would have become a part of this equation at the throwing of the pillowcase, definitely after the throat slashing!

She began yelling for help and knocking on neighbors’ doors. Lam, still naked, caught up with her and dragged her back to the apartment.

Several people who witnessed the scene called 911.

When officers knocked on Lam’s door, Lam began ranting, the document states. The victim, who was using a shirt to apply pressure to her throat, was growing weak and dizzy from blood loss. Still, she managed to dodge Lam’s reach, open the front door and run out.

The woman told investigators Lam was trying to assault her. When officers tried to arrest him, Lam resisted and began speaking in an unknown language.

The victim underwent emergency surgery at Harborview Medical Center. She is expected to recover. When investigators later questioned Lam, he refused to explain what he was trying to do to his girlfriend and why.

Prosecutors plan to request $1 million bail for Lam, whom they describe as an “immeasurable threat of the community.”

Lam has no prior convictions. He will be arraigned on Feb. 11.

Either the writer of the article needs to choose her words better or the victim is a total whack job, maybe even one as crazy as her girlfriend sacrificing ex-boyfriend. Well, I assume ex-boyfriend but who knows?

I have a guilty pleasure and it’s Perez Hilton and today I learned something very important from him. I learned that Sarah Palin is an even bigger douchebag than I thought she was.

I mean, I knew she was all into that aerial hunting BS where she would chase bears and wolves until they collapsed from exhaustion only to shoot them and make them run and suffer while wounded longer, but I didn’t know she was trying to get others to do it. In fact, she is so determined that other Alaskans join her in the skies that she wants the state to pay them $150 per severed foreleg shown. Yes, per severed foreleg. WTF?? It’s like some kind of Frankenstein horror flick!

Aerial hunting of bears, wolves or any other animal is just cruel. It is a horrible way to die for these poor defenseless animals, much worse than hunting on the ground. Check out the video at Eye on Palin to see for yourself how despicable this form of hunting is.

What I want to know is, and seriously someone please tell me, where is the sport in this? At least on the ground a hunter could be thinking he is pitting his wits against those of the animal on their turf, but way up there in the sky where the animal has virtually no chance of getting away? That is just sadism.

You just have to check out the Eye on Palin site and see for yourself the horror that is that unbelievably nutty, dangerous woman. SIGN THE PETITION to stop aerial hunting while you’re there, get your friends to as well. If no one speaks out against it, nothing will ever change and it needs to badly. Like yesterday.
