Depending on the day or the issue, I can be very “red-state” or very “blue-state” in my opinions. This is a record of some of those moments.

Rumors Have Power

Filed under: Hard Religious Questions, Miscellaneous Ravings — Richard Pitt @ 7:28 am

It is interesting how rumors can have legs of their own and actually have power. Here’s a rumor that is swirling all over the email circuit: “Pastor Hezekiah Walker is gay.”

Pastor Hezekiah Walker is not gay. Even if Hezekiah Walker is gay, why would so many people care if Hezekiah Walker is gay? If Hezekiah Walker is gay, do you really think that Hezekiah Walker say he is (unrepentently) gay and have to close his church and lose his ministry (and, incidentally, platform against gay marriage)? My bigger concern is that Hezekiah Walker is divorced (see my divorce post), but Hezekiah Walker is gay? Nah. The funniest thing about the “Hezekiah Walker is gay” email and story is that it suggests that he’s living on the downlow but told Monique he was going to move in with his transsexual lover. Hello? What Grammy-award winning easily recognized Pastor in New York do you think could secretly hide his live-in transsexual lover? At least take a moment to think about the logic of a rumor before you pass it along.

The actual reason I posted this rumor/gossip is, apparently, putting the phrase “Hezekiah Walker is gay” on your blog actually increases traffic to it from people googling the phrase “Hezekiah Walkier is gay“. So, for those of you looking for gossip confirming that Hezekiah Walker is gay, thanks for helping with my experiment and welcome to my blog. See you on the other side . . . maybe (see I Timothy 5:13 or Proverbs 20:19 or Exodus 20:16)

At a Loss For Words

Filed under: Blue State Stuff, Red State Stuff — Richard Pitt @ 10:26 pm

I’m simply at a loss for words. This thing with the ports just bothers me to no end. Even if the President is wrong, his stubbornness causes him to FIGHT BACK when people (even his own people) say he’s wrong instead of BACKING DOWN. He’s got such a “you’re not the boss of me” attitude on EVERYTHING, that really stupid decisions made on the fly (or worse, after much deliberation by the individuals who would benefit from those decisions) have to be fought for by him, his spokespersons, and sycophants like Fred Barnes and others on what is now essentially the administration’s PR wing, Fox News. Far be it from me to try to sell other people’s books, but I encourage the 5 people who read my blog to check out Bruce Bartlett’s Impostor.

And They Do It . . . Again!

Filed under: Blue State Stuff, Red State Stuff — Richard Pitt @ 10:24 am

I just don’t understand the Dems. So now they’ve thrown Hackett (their best chance to win the Senate seat in Ohio) overboard so that some state representative can enter the race instead? Hello?! DEMOCRATIC VETERANS GET AUTOMATIC [READ: FREE] PRESS IN THIS UPCOMING ELECTION! It’s so pathetic. It really is. And they just pissed off parts of their homosexual base by abolishing the DNC’s Office of GLBT Outreach. Now, if George Bush had closed down that office in the White House, the Dems would be up in arms. So, Dean does the same thing to the DNC and thought that the gay community wouldn’t notice? Someone help me understand because I really don’t get it. This is the kind of stuff that makes people say “a pox on both their houses” and stay home during midterm elections. Oh well, three more years of King Cheney . . I mean Bush. Maybe that’ll learn ‘em. Hahaha. Who am I kidding?
