radio head

the radio show went well i guess. everyone raved about it. and i was asked to be back on the show again in december. i think i shouldnt have said i was sitting in my bathrobe wearing a string of pearls... but it was a zen moment and so it shall remain in the archive for all eternity. despite the pearls from the supermarket in hawaii where i had a wonderful vacation with my daughter, there were other pearls... the zany mystic let the show ramble in an interesting freeflowing of ideas and at some point we talked about the presidential candidates and gay marriage. quite an amusing topic actually. amusing because of the ridiculousness of how the smallest minds in the country dictate how the greatest minds will behave. at least politically... but on marriage, these are my ideas: marriage is a contract. on the physical level, that contract is the merging of the assets of two people. on the emotional level, that contract is the commitment to love the other person until one is dead. and on the spiritual level, that contract is the appreciation of the witness of god in the lives of the married couple. usually one or more of those three aspects of the contract dissolves quickly (if it existed at all) but that is another matter. the idea that a government that allegedly has a separation between church and state would have anything more than a voice about the legal details of marriage (such as how old one must be to enter the contract of marriage) is absurd. and yet, like negroes had been in this country, gays are not considered human beings and are not afforded the same rights. it should be that any two people of adult age and somewhat sound mind (because how clear can someone be who actually wants to get married???!!!) could go to an attorney and draw up a legal contract of marriage. it should be the business of nobody else (except their mothers of course who will always have something to say). the emotional and spiritual aspects of the contract do not apply to the government and should be attended to by the marrying couple. if that involves other people (friends, family, minister, etc) that is the perogative of the marrying couple. but for the legality, the government has declared that gays do not deserve the same rights as others to enter that contract (even convicted felons on death-row can marry as long as it is man-to-woman). and the great minds of our polical generation allow the small minds of the christians to rule our country. high absurdity! especially if we actually do have a separation of church and state! the zany mystic said he gets about 10,000 listeners to the radio show each week and a guest could get 7000 hits on his website. i got two and i think one of them was me! obviously my pearls were cast before swine.

wheres the music man when you need him?

iowa senator larry craig was arrested for lewd conduct after allegedlly soliciting sex from an undercover police officer in an airport bathroom. he says hes not gay. this seems prevalent in the gay community. "butch" men who only have sex with other "butch" men ~ no matter what their role in the activity ~ consider themselves straight. they dont say heterosexual. they say straight. so its a vocabulary problem. soon-to-be-ex senator craig is saying hes not a girly man, a femmie lala, living in the gay lifestyle... he is not saying he doesnt have sex with men. i wonder if the police officer was "straight" also???!!! i see a film script brewing... coincidentally, the county of boise iowa allowed gay marriages on thursday when a judge overturned the ruling prohibiting it. that lasted about twenty minutes. but twenty minutes of clarity is like a lifetime in some places. if only senator craig had had those twenty minutes of clarity. he could have gotten married before he solicited unsafe public sex from the wrong stranger. his "same sex ~ butch to butch ~ not gay to gay" marriage could have been his savior. if he had been openly gay and had had an "infidelity" it wouldnt have been as tragic for his career. do you really care that clinton was getting blowjobs while hillary was laying the groundwork for a new career? the economy was better and everyone was happy! seriously. everyone was happy. now ex-senator craig wont dare to chance sex with a man for fear of more scandal and will only get sex with his wife. that should be punishment enough.
