RTD, why did you go there? Spoiler Alert!
Aug. 8th, 2011 03:46 pmIf you're watching and enjoying MD, this is not meant to say you shouldn't. Or you're a bad person if you do. Or anything else except what it says.
One Person CAN Make a Difference
Sep. 12th, 2010 08:59 pmDon't ever doubt the power of one person stepping up and doing the right thing. Today it was a 23-year old skateboarder in Amarillo, Texas.
From Think Progress:
"In Amarillo, Texas, David Grisham, director of Repent Amarillo, “which aims to deter promiscuity, homosexuality and non-Christian worship practices through confrontation and prayer,” planned to burn the Islamic holy text at a public gathering."
Well, Jacob Isom didn't like this idea one bit. So he took matters into his own hands. Peacefully, using ingenuity, he made sure that the Koran wasn't burned and that it found a safe home.
"But before he could set the book ablaze, a 23 year-old skateboarder named Jacob Isom swooped in and grabbed it:"
Isom turned the book over to the Islamic Center of Amarillo.

Kid on a skateboard out-smarts evil bigots! You go Jacob!

LJ Links - Do Not Want & Failboat
Sep. 2nd, 2010 02:30 pmDo I Even Need to Say it?
Please don't link my journal anywhere
Thanks!
Even Teddy, (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) does not like this new feature:
Thought for the day:
If LJ spent half as much time thinking about their customers as they do about Frank the Goat -
they probably could avoid a whole lot trips on the Failboat.

This follows on from a post I put up last night: http://aviv-b.livejournal.com/59394.html
about the brilliant, simply brilliant interview of RTD in After Elton found here:
http://www.afterelton.com/people/2010/08/russell-t-davies-julie-gardner-torchwood-the-new-world?page=0,2
Just a few more items worth noting
On the international nature of the show:
AE: Readers, people commenting about the storyline. I just said, "I don't know. We'll find out." You've been talking about a global storyline. Is it going to have a James Bond feel, zipping around the world to different locations?
RTD: Well, modern James Bond, like Daniel Craig's James Bond, yes, a bit of that feel, that sort of modern punching from one country to another.
JG: He's a great James Bond.
RTD: I think the great thing is that the story takes them there. Sometimes these things are just international for the sake of it. They just cut to Peru and someone is saying something exotic with a parrot in the background. This story will move from country to country with a purpose. The locations are really important, you feel like you're there, and it's got something to say about the society in each place.
JG: And this is a co-production between the BBC and Starz, so it genuinely works with the UK setting and the American locations we're going to use.
Oh - such exotic locations - the UK and the US. What next, Canada? And you can always count on Rusty for the Lulz. No Rusty, you would never, ever, film in an exotic location because, well, the weather sucks in Cardiff and its so much nicer in...hmm...let me think...Dubai, perhaps?
On the importance of canon:
From http://airlockalpha.com/node/7710/torchwood-becomes-legend-in-new-world.html
"We definitely have a really big story to tell," executive producer Julie Gardner said. Gardner was a key part of the past three "Torchwood" seasons, and left "Doctor Who" with Davies following David Tennant's finale specials. "It's absolutely rebooted to welcome a new audience."
Although Gardner talked about a reboot, sources re-assure Airlock Alpha that canon will remain intact, and that the fourth season is indeed a continuation of the events in the previous three seasons. Gardner's choice of the word "reboot" is more about how the story is told, and less about the story itself.
BWAAHAHAHAHA! They can't even keep their own bullshit straight. Yeah, canon will be as respected in S4 as it was in CoE. Which is to say: NOT AL ALL.
And the piece de resistance:
AE: What do you think coming to America is going to bring to Torchwood?
RTD:I haven't thought about it. Just having a Welshman around in the writers' room is hilarious. If you say "tomahto," I say "tomato." There is a bit of that. But it's a bigger horizon than Torchwood 3. It's important to remember that Jack's American. That's why it's such an easy fit. We tend to talk about Jack as if he's a British character, but for a new audience, they'll see an American man talking in an American accent.
Uh Rusty, last time I checked Jack was from the BOESHANE PENINSULA!
Rusty, I may be a stupid Amerkin so please, please show me on a map where that is? I think maybe near Cleveland? My cousin Murray lives in Canton, maybe he knows Jack?
The man doesn't even know the basics of his story's canon. The man is so stupid, my head just exploded. Seriously.

By now, I'm sure you've heard that the leaders of the Catholic Church have taken the position that the priest pedophile scandal is really a 'homosexual' scandal rather than child abuse. Since they claim that most of the victims were past puberty, then no child molestation took place. And besides, its the kids' faults
Uh..No...FAIL! Sexual orientation has nothing to do with this and regardless of their age or sexual maturity the children are victims. That hasn't played out too well for church officials so now they resort to the classic fall back position.
THE JEWS DID IT!
That's right your friendly neighborhood Jew set the whole thing up. Taking off time from our world-wide conspiracy of controlling the banks and the stock markets, pausing from using the blood of Christian babies to bake matzoh, we Jews have managed to get these men to molest children. We made them do it!
We are multi-tasking mavens, aren't we?
From the Salon Blog: http://open.salon.com/blog/judy_mandelbaum/2010/04/12/chutzpah_bishop_blames_the_jews_for_pedophile_scandal
Retired Bishop Giacomo Babini of the Italian town of Grosseto told the Catholic Pontifex website that the Catholic pedophile scandal is being orchestrated by the “eternal enemies of Catholicism, namely the freemasons and the Jews, whose mutual entanglements are not always easy to see through. … I think that it is primarily a Zionist attack, in view of its power and refinement. They do not want the church, they are its natural enemies. Deep down, historically speaking, the Jews are God-killers.”
But wait there's more:
“The Holocaust was a disgrace for all of humanity,” the good bishop told the world, “but now we have to look at it without rhetoric and with open eyes. Don’t believe that Hitler was merely crazy. The truth is that the Nazis’ criminal fury was provoked by the Jews’ economic embezzlement, by which they choked the German economy.” He concluded that the Jews’ “guilt is graver than what Christ predicted would happen to them, saying ‘do not cry for me, but for your own children.’”
Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. What next? Really, who are you going to target next? The Muslims? The Atheists? The Tooth Fairy?
Enough is enough! It's time for you all to put your big-boy pants on and take responsibility for your actions. For the child molestations, for the hiding of the molestations, for your failure to act to defrock child-molesting members of your clergy, for the continuing demonization of the victims, and for your out and out bigotry against gays, Jews and whoever else you decide is a convenient target.

Lulz - Time for Some Amusement - Teabonics

According to Doc Thompson a guest host on Glenn Beck's radio show the new health care bill is blatantly racist. You see the act includes a 10% tax on tanning salons. From the Doc himself:
For years I’ve suggested that racism was in decline and yeah, there are some, you know, incidents that still happen with regards to racism, but most of the claims I’ve said for years, well, they’re not really real. But I realize now that I was wrong. For I now too feel the pain of racism. Racism has been dropped at my front door and the front door of all lighter-skinned Americans. The health care bill the president just signed into law includes a 10 percent tax on all indoor tanning sessions starting July 1st, and I say, who uses tanning? Is it dark-skinned people? I don’t think so. I would guess that most tanning sessions are from light-skinned Americans. Why would the President of the United States of America — a man who says he understands racism, a man who has been confronted with racism — why would he sign such a racist law? Why would he agree to do that? Well now I feel the pain of racism.
More here: http://thinkprogress.org/2010/03/30/thompson-tanning-racism/
Oh the angst! You're kidding right? Cause nobody could actually be this stupid. Right? No really...you think a tanning booth tax is racist because more whites use tanning booths.
Uh...Ok...Doc, have you ever heard of skin cancer? Can you say and spell melanoma? Uh guess not. What kind of Doctor are you? Where is your degree from? Do you prescribe cigarettes for nervous people? How about encouraging people to drink and drive as a way to relieve tension?
You know Doc I think you should show your contempt for the Health Care Reform Act by tanning the crap out of yourself. Until your skin is like shoe leather and your are as brown as..uh.. hmmm. Doc? If you hate dark skinned people so much why do you want to artificially darken your skin. I be so confused.
....
Yeah, this is what the right wing loonies are reduced to criticizing. Taxes on cancer-causing tanning booths. Not cause it disproportionately affects stupid people, but because its racist.

LET'S BLAME THE VICTIM
It's time for
LET'S BLAME THE VICTIM
Beck's theory: Dems walked through tea party crowd because they wanted to be killed to prove political point.
Listen to his remarks here: http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201003250025And I guess the Congressman's brother who had a gas line to his house cut, was asking for it. And the faxes with nooses, and the death threats.
This along with "Well of course these things are wrong...but what did they expect" is the latest push back from the Repugnantcans.
Ok, I'll bite. What I expect is that you
- handle defeat like a grownup.
- explain why your position is better without lying and frightening people.
- don't encourage people to commit acts of violence.
- unequivocally denounce such acts.
- take responsibility for your choice to 'just say no' to everything that Congress is trying to accomplish when it blows up in your face.
OK Repugnantcans, its time to pull your big boy pants up and stop shitting your hate on the rest of us.

Update (10:00 pm local time):
That means you Beck, Limbaugh, Bennett, O'Reilly, Hannity, Drudge, Neugebauer, and the Republican National Committee . Are you on the side of violence and intimidation or not? Do you believe in the rule of law or the rule of the mob? Do you think threats toward people's children are OK or not?
Its time to stand up and be counted.
__________
It wasn't enough to stand outside the Congress with signs which read "If Brown doesn't change it, Browning will" along with a picture of a handgun.
It wasn't enough to scream 'baby-killer' at a staunch pro-life Congressman who actually had the courage to realize that you can take care of the already born and avoid using Federal funds for abortion.
No, it wasn't enough. Now you threaten children.
YOU THREATEN CHILDREN - REALLY WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF PRO-LIFE AND THEN THREATEN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN.
Go look up hypocrite and sociopath in the dictionary. Just don't be surprised if you find your picture there as well.
And on Monday, a former Alabama militia leader took credit for instigating the actions (vandalism).
“We can break their windows,” he said. “Break them NOW. And if we do a proper job, if we break the windows of hundreds, thousands, of Democrat party headquarters across this country, we might just wake up enough of them to make defending ourselves at the muzzle of a rifle unnecessary.”
Kristallnacht? No, but don't kid yourselves. This is how it starts. And every decent person, Republican or Democrat or Independent or whatever, should condemn these acts and call for the vigorous prosecution of these criminals.That means you Beck, Limbaugh, Bennett, O'Reilly, Hannity, Drudge, Neugebauer, and the Republican National Committee .
