I wrote earlier how gay men, with their re-creation of the septic tank subculture of the 70’s, were turning themselves into human petri dishes for sexually transmitted diseases.

Well, it sucks to be proven right once again on subject like this but once again, I’m right.

San Francisco public health officials issued a warning Monday that a rare and potentially debilitating sexually transmitted disease reported recently in the Netherlands has turned up among a small number of patients in the city. Known as lymphogranuloma venereum, or LGV, the disease is a form of the common sexually transmitted infection chlamydia — but this particular strain can cause scarring of the genitals and colon, and can produce a swelling and bursting of lymph glands near the groin. Although the disease is seldom seen outside of poor, tropical nations, doctors in Rotterdam reported 92 cases among gay men during a 17-month period ending in September. Isolated cases have also been reported in Belgium, France, Sweden and Atlanta, Ga. In November, doctors at San Francisco’s City Clinic treated one man with the disease, and subsequent tests of stored specimens spotted three other cases that occurred this summer but had gone undetected by conventional screens. None of the four patients who were found to have the bug in San Francisco had visited the Netherlands, an indication there may be other cases yet to be discovered in the city, said Dr. Sam Mitchell, a Department of Public Health epidemiologist. The four cases in San Francisco were among gay men, some of whom also tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Mitchell said there is no indication that HIV-positive patients are at higher risk for complications of LGV, but there is concern that a patient with the chlamydia infection might be more prone to contract HIV because of the ulceration caused by the bacteria.

You skanks. Stop fucking yourselves to death!!!!!!

The only fraud in the gubernatorial election in Washington state is that which the Republican party attempted to commit when it tried to keep legitimate votes for Christine Gregoire from being counted.

What a bunch of bitch-ass cry babies. I hate Republicans.

Barring
unforseen circumstances we’re leaving for the Caribbean in 4 days and
will be gone until the 3rd of January. I looked at myself in the mirror
today and I’m so San Francisco-winter pale. That’s all going to change
soon. Here are a few pictures of the house we’ve taken for the
vacation. Enjoy!

That word means “delight in the misfortune of others” and it brings to mind this site, which I’ve now listed under my daily scroll.

There’s an old saying “One’s own success is never made sweeter than by the failure of a friend” and when looking at Awful Plastic Surgery I feel better than ever about my present situation.

The best part of reading about Rupert Everett’s terrible eye lift and Courtney “skank” Love’s hideous breat implant malfunction
is that these people chose their disasters and misfortunes. There was
nothing wrong with the way they looked before but each of them has gone
way overboard in the cosmetic surgery department. They chose the
surgery and the surgeon, so why weep crocodile-tears over their very
public humiliations?

If you have as much money as Tara Reid
then why do you get a tit job that looks like it was performed by a
first-year med student? I mean, look at her juggs and her cocaine-reddened nose
in these pics. Either she had that terrible boob job when she first got
to LA and couldn’t afford a real surgeon or she’s just a cheap bitch,
but with the amount of coke she had to snort to get THAT red a nose
(and I speak here from experience) I can tell you she’s not shorting
herself in the drugs department.

Call it mean but when you go
to a red carpet event so blitzed and coked-up that you stand for a full
FIVE SECONDS in front of the paparazzi with your tit hanging out and
don’t notice, then you’ve got far bigger problems than bloggers
pointing out your very obvious short-comings.

I
don’t want anything bad to happen to anyone in my life. I mean, who
does want anything bad to happen to anyone else? The thing is nothing
like death has ever happened to me, it’s not touched my life in the way
it has for people who’ve had a close friend or family member die.. So I
tend to spend an inordinate amount of time wondering exactly when something like someone close to me dying will occur.

I
guess this type of thinking runs in the family because my sister said
she thinks about it as well. It’s not like it dominates my daily
thinking process but it does cross my mind more often than not. As I’ve
never had to deal with death I wonder how it will affect me when it
does occur. Will I cry when my grandmother dies or will I sit there,
frozen? What would happen if my mom, who’s really been my only parent,
passes away? In more morbid moments I wonder how I’d deal with
something really horrible, like one of my nieces or nephews dying or
being kidnapped or something awful like that.

This could all be
a defense mechanism on my part, preparing for the inevitable
eventuality of death in my life. I know it will happen, it could occur
tomorrow or tonight. Because I’ve been spared anything like death of
friends and family up to this point in my life I sometimes feel like
when it does happen it’s really going to be hard for me to bear. And
because I’ve been so fortunate to this point the old saying “when it
rains it pours” is going to be particularly relevant to me.

Oh, and I watched two episodes of Six Feet Under tonight, so that’s the main reason for this kind of morbidity.

“People who might otherwise be rational folks who have instead traded in there brains for a cross or a rainbow sticker.
“how much of there private lives are public business“

The
quotes are from someone who claims to have a college degree yet cannot
manage to use the contraction of “they are”, instead using the adverb.
I see this type of poor writing repeatedly throughout the blog world
but it’s especially saddening to see it being used by one who like to
discuss constitutional law yet can’t manage contractions in a proper
sentence.

They’re - Contraction of They Are

You’re - Contraction of You Are

If I had a shred of remaining doubt that Republicans in this country
are un-democratic, rotten and evil to the core their recent attempts to
disenfranchise legitimate votes in Washington State have erased those
doubts.

The race for governor in WA is close, extrememly close,
with the Republican ahead by 50 votes out of more than 2.5 million
cast. The Democratic party asked and paid for a hand recount and that’s
where the Republican party’s true fascistic nature really emerged.

It
turns out that heavily Democratic King county didn’t count around 700
legitimately cast ballots because of a mistake on the part of elections
workers. These are votes that were cast correctly according to the law,
and because of a mistake they weren’t counted. The Republicans have
filed a lawsuit asking that these ballots NOT be counted, thusly
ensuring their candidate, the greasy and dishonest Dino Rossi, would
win the election.

I don’t know why I’m so aghast at this
situation. Afterall we’ve had four years of this kind of behavior on
the part of the Republican party and no one has forgotten their
shameful use of the judicial system in 2000 to put George Bush in
power. Still, arguments can be made about the Florida decision that
can’t be made in this case. There is no dispute over these ballots,
everyone knows they’re legitimate, they just were missed in the first
recount. So why would the Republicans try and stop the counting of
votes that were legitimately cast?

The short answer is because they’re evil and disgusting and now they’re trying to steal elections at a state level.

If
I didn’t loath the Republican party before I sure do now. Liars, cheats
and hypocrites. I can’t believe what my country has become.

From Salon.com:

William
Donahue of the arch-conservative Catholic League insisted, “Hollywood
is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and
Catholicism in particular. It’s not a secret, OK? Hollywood likes anal
sex. They like to see the public square without nativity scenes.”

Yes, we Jews all love anal sex and hate Christianity and in particular those nasty Catholics!

It’s
all true for me personally but I can’t speak for the rest of my people.
Right now we’re too busy putting Christian children in spike-lined
troughs so we can use their blood in matzoh. Oh, that AND controlling
the world’s banking and media empires.

After reading that homos have been in the forefront of transmitting
by sex diseases which previously had only been transmitted by OTHER
forms of contact, diseases like typhoid and bacterial meningitis, I’ve
formulated a new theory.

Our Babies

Homos
are like a human version of the petri dish. All one needs to do in the
septic-tank subculture we’ve created is introduce some strange bacteria
and an assortment of amoral gay men will happily reproduce it for you
in ways epidemiologists had previously never DREAMED could occur.

I’m so happy our legacy to mankind can be the diseases we’ve managed to swap with one another.
