The (Freak) Show Must Go On

Time To Piss (Virtually) EVERYBODY Off?


As is usual, I've got a couple of things to say here this morning, and I'm not pulling any punches in the process so you might want to put on your safety classes before you continue reading if you are a flaming liberal (or flaming anything else) or just an irrational, uneducated, emotional, barking Moonbat.

Some more rational moderate people may even think that I'm too severe, but I DON'T CARE...this is MY Website...feel free to hit the back button and go somewhere else.

Unfortunately for me, both of the stories I'm addressing surround WOMEN, so I guess that I can check women off of my list of people that will possibly be pissed off by what I have to say.

One of the women also happens to be GAY or a LESBIAN or whatever they refer to themselves as today (and the other woman could be although I'm too busy to Google the answer and really don't care because sexual orientation isn't my real topic here.)

Regardless, all of the gays and lesbians can jump on the anti Virgil bandwagon as it passes by because no-one is allowed to direct any commentary toward those practicing "alternative lifestyles" unless it is positive and in support of advancing their social and political agenda.

Unfortunately for some people, I refuse to comply with that sort of crap and see everyone as fair game in the direction of my insensitive commentary, regardless of their proclivities in their back seats and bedrooms.

That said, Subject A this morning is singer Annie Lennox. For those of you that are unfamiliar with this gifted vocalist, here's a few photos of dear Annie:

Annie likes to dress up (and down) when she puts on a performance, wouldn't you say?

Well, if you don't attend many concerts these days, you aught to see what the audience looks like at almost any given show. The attire of the ticket holders can swing wildly between what you would expect to find at an Atlanta Symphony Concert and a Grateful Dead Show--at the exact same concert!!

Heck, these days you can't go to the mall, to a High School football game, or attend a NASCAR race without subjecting yourself to a virtual freak show of humanity and public display of disgusting behavior and fetishes that would have landed people in JAIL for life fifty years ago.

Every time I come home from the Mall over in Brunswick I always feel like I've been to a taping of a Jerry Springer show. Who ARE these people? Don't they ever look in the mirror? In addition to looking and dressing strangely, some if not many act like they haven't been to town ever--or at least for a couple of years.

You can probably imagine what the average audience at a Annie Lennox show looks like and is dressed like on any given evening. Not the congregation of the local Baptist Church...

So any way, apparently Miss Annie had what I call a "live by the sword, die by the sword moment" on Tuesday, fleeing a concert in mid-song when a man clad in a black cape and gas mask approached the stage.

BOULDER, Colorado (October 18, 2007) – Popular singer Annie Lennox fled the stage when a man wearing a gas mask and cape appeared in the crowd towards the end of her set at Macky Auditorium on Tuesday.

Lennox spotted the man approaching the stage, tossed her microphone to the ground, and ducked backstage without saying a word to the audience. She describes the incident as “really freakish and disturbing” on her Blog.

Annie returned to the stage after the masked and caped 32-year-old Denver resident was removed, according to University of Colorado Police Sgt. Gary Arai.

“A fellow who was dressed in a black cape, platform boots and a gas mask approached the stage,” Arai told Boulder’s Daily Camera. “Lennox saw him coming and threw down her microphone and went backstage.”

It’s not clear if charges will be filed against the man, as he didn’t climb the stage. The gas-masked cape-wearing man’s name has not been released, because he has not been charged with a crime.

Give me a break here, people. Before 9/11, Bush's Baked Beans would have sponsored concerts and handed out free gas masks to the first 100 people through the gate at a Travis Tritt concert.

Now today the cops will haul you out of the concert seating for wearing a gas mask and cape in a building full of people with giant holes punched in every imaginable body part and colored ink covering the areas of skin not penetrated with gold and silver jewelry?

Pluueeeeesssssseeeee....

Heck, I say that the guy might have just gotten the MEMO from a Democratic official working for the Department of Homeland Security suggested that staffers going to the upcoming NASCAR race at Talladega, Alabama get immunizations before attending the event.

Let me tell you something. I'M from ALABAMA, and my immune system laughs at almost all of the crap that will kill most pasty skinned black sock and sandal wearing Yankees and everyone inside the Washington beltway WITHOUT immunizations. I haven't had but one Tetanus shot in the past 20 years.

Likewise, the professional journalist that wrote the story doesn't tell us what he means by "gas mask". Was it one of these:



A military quality gas mask? Or one of these:

A medical quality filtration mask? (The guy could have been a Homeland security staffer hiding from the audiences' cooties...)

All in all I find this to be the continuation of a disturbing hysterical trend in our society. We have Halloween coming up, and how many more years will it be before all costumes but things that look like Barney the purple dinosaur or the Teletubbies will be outlawed?

Plastic pistols and Machine guns are already taboo, and the Devil's pitchforks and the Grim Reaper's scythe can't be far behind.

I think that Madam Lennox needs to just get a grip on her pompous self, but then again that's just one angry white southern redneck male's opinion...and what do I really know?

My next subject is one of the ladies I refer to as belonging to a group called "The Angry Lesbians."

Rosie O'Donnell is the President of their Association...

and Ellen DeGeneres is the CEO and handles security for the group...




If you've been following the news this week, Miss Ellen has gotten her panties in a wad boxers in a bunch over a private pet adoption agency's refusal to allow her to run roughshod over their rules in violation of a written contract she had entered into earlier last month.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Ellen DeGeneres' talk show was put on hold for a day because of her emotionally wrenching dog-adoption drama.

"It's been a long week and a tough week and we decided to take a long weekend and be back on Tuesday," said Laura Mandel, a spokeswoman for Telepictures Productions, which produces "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

DeGeneres was scheduled Thursday to tape shows to air Friday and Monday. Instead, the tapings were canceled and reruns featuring Jessica Alba and Queen Latifah will air on those days. A new show is planned Tuesday.

The battle over Iggy, a Brussels Griffon terrier mix, pitted DeGeneres against an animal rescue agency and, at one point, had her in tears on her show. The agency's owners complained of receiving death threats over the dispute.

DeGeneres adopted the dog, then gave it to her hairstylist's family after the dog, despite training, couldn't get along with the comedian's cats, her publicist has said.

Marina Batkis and Vanessa Chekroun, owners of the nonprofit Mutts and Moms agency, claimed that DeGeneres violated the adoption agreement by not informing them that she was giving the dog away and removed Iggy from the hairstylist's home Sunday.

DeGeneres pleaded for Iggy's return to the hairstylist on Tuesday's show. She said her hairdresser's daughters, ages 11 and 12, were heartbroken when the dog was taken away.

But Mutts and Moms' owners were adamant about their decision, and a spokesman for Batkis said she wouldn't be "bullied around by the Ellen DeGenereses of the world."

At a taping of the show Wednesday, DeGeneres told the audience she wouldn't talk about the matter again unless Iggy was returned to her hairdresser.

This article gives even more background on the story:

The dispute erupted last month when DeGeneres and her partner adopted Iggy, a black Brussels Griffon mix terrier. When Iggy wasn't able to get along with DeGeneres' cats, the couple gave the dog to DeGeneres' hairdresser.

Mutts and Moms, the nonprofit dog-rescue organization that originally gave DeGeneres the dog, later took it back, saying the talk show host had violated the adoption agreement by not informing them that she was giving the dog away. That set off a firestorm of nasty e-mails and threats directed at the agency after DeGeneres shared the blow by blow with viewers on her show this week.

"Let me just say this, it's gotten out of hand," DeGeneres said on the segment to air Thursday. "I want nothing, nothing more than that dog returned to that family. But you don't resort to violence. So anybody out there, please stop that. Please don't threaten or do whatever."

The angry calls got so bad that Marina Batkis, co-owner of the dog rescue organization, said she had to close her business and stay home Wednesday, a day after DeGeneres broadcast a tearful, televised plea for the dog to be returned to her hairdresser and the woman's daughters.

"My life is being threatened. This is horrible," a tearful Batkis said outside her home.

DeGeneres has acknowledged she erred but said her hairdresser and her family shouldn't be punished. Batkis has refused to back down.

"If Ellen wants to place dogs and decide what's a good home, then she should start her own rescue group," she told "Inside Edition." "But I'm the one doing this and I know what I'm doing."
DeGeneres said several agencies had offered to provide the family another dog, even one that looked like Iggy.

"And unfortunately, Ruby, the little girl, doesn't want another dog, she wants Iggy," said DeGeneres on the show to air Thursday. "It's not a toy that's broken that you can replace. It's a dog."


Ok, anybody but me see anything wrong here with the real story(ies) behind the puppy story?

First of all, from the outset I believe that Ellen CHOSE to take what was a PRIVATE MATTER and bring it into the public eye with the expressed intention of employing public opinion as leverage...

The exact same kind of leverage she has used in her public/professional life since she "came out of the closet" and starting ramming her sexuality and lifestyle down the throats of the American public when they turned on their televisions or opened the pages of their newspapers and People magazine.

What the activists call the old "we're queer and we're here method", taken to the next level in the mainstream media.

Rosie O'Donnell and others pioneered the method, and Ellen is simply fine tuning it to her own specifications.

Everyone is supposed to act like everything is copacetic and just smile and nod at the goings-on (ignoring the 500 pound gorilla in the room), but as soon as something disagreeable or something that can be branded as insensitive happens, all bets are off. It's all about the sexual orientation of the victims and their fragile sensibilities...

If Ellen hadn't said anything about this, it probably could have already been resolved amicably, in private. It's not like the paparazzi are following her cats and dogs or Bush/Cheney are wiretapping her phones and leaking the story to the NY Times.

In fact, Ellen admits that she already had her answer before she went on TV with the story.

SHE WAS WRONG!

She violated her contract, didn't want to or otherwise couldn't keep the dog, and the contract she signed said that the adoption agency had the right to get the pup back in order to screen the next family and place it in a home that matched THEIR STANDARDS, not Ellen's.

Just look at the Moonbats that are Ellen's fans. Yes, I know that she has no control over the fans' and viewers' behavior, but DEATH THREATS?

Over a PET ADOPTION?

Ellen's hair stylist might be Mother Teresa in waiting, but she could also be a hideous, psychotic she-devil that roasts dogs in her microwave oven if the pee in the foyer floor.

Instead of Ellen making the decision, why not let the hairstylist go down to the pet adoption agency, make an application, and submit to their interview process.

That makes sense to me.

If they discover 22 cats, a hamster, a couple of ferrets, a box turtle and a small herd of Vietnamese pot bellied Pigs living in the hair clipper's home in feces strewn squalor with the two children, let due process take it's course.

But no, Ellen's pissed off.

Her giant Ego's been wounded, because in reality she knows that she was wrong to give the doggie away, but instead of correcting her mistake quietly, she's taken it to the world and, in my opinion, wants to use her protected status as a Lesbian and Celebrity to get her way.

Ellen can't stand the fact that her actions caused a couple of little girls to be unhappy.

Tough...kid's face disappointments every day, and everyone can't play Michael Jackson and run out and build houses with amusement parks in their back yards so that their pre-teen playmates will think they're "the best Aunt ever..."

If you or I did this exact same thing, the dog would be gone and no one except our immediate friends and family would know or care.

It's not like the pooch is going to be tossed out a car window into interstate traffic or euthanized if it doesn't end up back at where Miss Degeneres wants it to live, so a public campaign serves no other purpose than to promote her own private agenda.

It's also not about discrimination and prejudice, it's about RIGHT and WRONG.

So now Ellen has reverted to the childish tactic of picking up her marbles and quitting, again (just like Rosie does), all be it for only one day this time.

That's a professional, adult-like attitude, don't you think?

I don't care who and what you do in bed--a stupid arrogant bitch is still a stupid arrogant bitch in my book, every day.

Any Questions?
