| After deftly and succinctly touching on religion last week, we figured it was high time we addressed education. If you ask us, education is key to being like, all smart and stuff. It’s true; look it up if you can even read this. That’s why our collective feathers got so ruffled when we read a story about the “different” history that Texas is trying to invent with its new public school textbooks. It seems as though they only want to teach what they like, or believe, or find righteous. Whatever they want to call it, we call it just plain wrong. | No, no, this piece has nothing to do with awful war movies from Brian De Palma. We’re talking about the combining of separate stories and turning them into one cohesive statement. Here’s an example: Say we edited the Bible into one big story and punched it up a bit with some action of our own; it would be The Holy Redaction. As fun as that could be, the threat of things being lost in translation looms large. Surely “pay attention to the details” has its own PowerPoint in the freshman orientation at Redactor State University, right? That’s day one stuff. | |||

| Despite the fact that my previous submissions have been fairly cynical (and wildly imaginative), I realized that I’ve failed to offer any real solutions to some of the world’s absurdities. Well, maybe it’s all that Olympic spirit flowin’ east via the jet stream, or maybe it’s this snifter filled with Rémy Martin, but today is a new day, and it’s time to lay the smack down, Goldust style.
Yup, the man with the golden kiss, openly homosexual, often hilarious, and maybe the finest American wrestler of all time (finishing a close second to our other favorite stereotyped character Tatanka, but that’s an article for another day). All of which begs the question, in the land of the “free” and home of the “brave,” what’s up with The Anti-Gay Rights Movement? Maybe the better inquiry is, could the sanctimonious defenders of everything holy possibly be any more hypocritical? Highly unlikely, especially given the conduct of these homophobes. |
So is any of this going to change? As we see it, there’s really just two viable paths here:
Admittedly, with the gridlock on Capital Hill, any Gay Congressional legislation (hahaha) will be very tough to pass. We’re more likely to see the same ole’ song and dance from Democrats. You know, the one where they lack the cajones to pick a fight with the G.O.P. Instead, it’s time for an Executive Order from the Commander-in-Chief himself. Bypass the red-tape, and BAM! Equal rights for all! Surely Fox News will label it a Marxist move by he of the invalid birth-certificate, but honestly, who gives a f*ck what they say?! |
