Story v. History

The economy. Foreign policy. Conservatism. The rise of Christofascism.

Trace the threads of the frayed fabric of North American business and politics back in time… and you wind up, inevitably and invariably, at one man myth: Ronald Wilson Reagan. Nothing betrays the moral bankruptcy of the Republican Party more than their perpetual fellating of Reagan’s rotting [...]

Paterfamilias

Hey! Look at the happy baby!

This is me with my grandmother and grandfather:

I was, what, five or six months old? The photos were taken in my parents’ flat in the Silver Heights Apartments in Winnipeg, Manitoba. That chair my grandfather is sitting in? Is seven feet from me right now, in my living room. [...]

Who’s the Big Snowplow? Yes, you are! YES, YOU ARE!

The economic downturn has affected the City of Toronto’s snow-removal budget, and reduced funds mean reduced equipment expenditures:

The Littlest Snowplow (Yonge & Shuter Streets, Toronto, 28 January 2009)

If only we lived in Springfield.

Have You Ever Seen “Sophie’s Choice”?

Here at This.That.No Other. we love all things James Franco — we were totally feeling his agony during Joey Fatone’s excruciating “Dude, you kissed a dude?” SAG Awards interview earlier this week — and if you haven’t seen his Acting With James Franco web series at Funny or Die, you kinda need to.

This is the [...]

Yuletide Artifact

I have never lived more than ten minutes away from these:

Santa Lites / Christmas Lights

I’ve never known a time without the inexplicably dual-identified Santa Lites/Christmas Lights, above. That makes them very old. I’m sure they violate every Canadian electrical standard in existence now but, then again, practically everything built or repaired in Toronto these [...]

From the Associated Press:

Vatican: ‘Homosexual behavior’ on decline

WASHINGTON (AP) – A Vatican office that evaluated U.S. Roman Catholic seminaries says the schools have made improvements in halting what they call “homosexual behavior” among students.

The Vatican also says seminaries are doing well in teaching about celibacy and are generally effective in screening candidates for the priesthood.

Not Your Parents’ Jesus

What a fishy Friday it is today! And what a treat it was to read that high crimes like dropping a cracker on the floor, on purpose, is a sin so awful, so reprehensible, that only der Pope can forgive you! That’s right, if you torture and chop into pieces a whole family, any old [...]

“Every Gay Person MUST Come Out!”

Following the spectacular success of the worldwide demos last weekend, in which hundreds of thousands of lesbians and gays and their friends and families protested the passing of California’s Proposition 8 (and three other antigay measures in other states), the folks at Join the Impact now propose that on December 10th we all call in [...]

I Don’t Get The National Post

The National Post is a Canadian newspaper to which I do not subscribe. Nor, I might add, do I peruse it with even a passing resemblance to “occasionally”. But today The National Post featured an article on a subject of which I am very much interested: the disconcerting rise in STI infections in Toronto:

Toronto [...]

Love You Tomorrow

Fifty states, many more than fifty City Hall protests. Be a part of Activism 4.0. Be a part of history. Hell, if you’ve never been to a lesbigay rights protest, you should know they’re fun, unquestionably important, exhilarating and cruisy as all get-out!

History Lesson:”Well, At Least It’s A Fruit Pie”

Former beauty queen and singer — and religion-poisoned homophobe — Anita Bryant gets a pie in the kisser in thanks for her nationwide campaign to “Save the Children” and declaring “we are going to go across this country and get rid of all the homosexuals”:

“Well, at least it’s a fruit pie,” Iowa, 1977

Apparently Bryant [...]

Love, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

[In 1967, t]he parents of the President-Elect of the United States couldn’t have married in nearly one third of the states of the country their son grew up to lead.

Keith Olbermann makes an emotional appeal:

The America of 1967 to which Keith refers is the America preceding Loving v. Virginia, the landmark human rights [...]

Race, Religion, Rights and… Reality

The image above was the first thing I thought of last week, when the awesome results of the Obama win in the U.S. presidential election were tempered by the heartbreaking passing of Proposition 8 — banning same-sex marriage — in California. The cartoon above will no doubt annoy African-American readers by diminishing the unconscionable [...]

Republicans, What’s Left of (Continued)

Never has talentlessness, stupidity and arrogance been so abundant in a single person than in the person of Victoria Jackson:
