Strippers for Obama!

I'm a little confused by the story, but I think I agree with the club owner, appreciate the strippers and disagree with the King

Activists protest Va. strip club's Obama banner
28, 3:16 PM (ET)By STEVE SZKOTAK

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Activists gathered outside a downtown strip club Monday to denounce as racist a banner depicting President Obama as the Joker from Batman.
"Not only is it an attack on the president, but also on all men and people of African descent," King Salim Khalfani, president of the Virginia NAACP, said of what he called "the abomination that's on the wall" outside Club Velvet.
The banner, unfurled within the past few days, depicts Obama as Heath Ledger's grotesque Joker character from "The Dark Knight." The president is shown with smeared red lipstick, a white face and darkened eyes. The word "socialism" is spelled out below the caricature.
Dancer Kaitlyn McGee handed out a statement from club owner Sam Moore, who did not appear. The statement described him as a "staunch libertarian" and said the banner was intended to show his displeasure with Obama's policies. McGee walked through the crowd with a sign that read "Strippers 4 Obama" to show that Moore is not opposed to the president himself.
"Mr. Moore would like to say that anyone who believes that his banner is racist is an ignoramus," it read.
But the activists said the Joker banner was typical of what they called escalating attacks on the president - from depictions of Obama as Hitler at rallies to South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's "You lie!" outburst during Obama's recent nationally televised address to Congress.
"Racism is as American as apple pie," Khalfani said. "The presence of a president that as African blood is very, very troublesome to many in this country."
McGee, who described herself as a waitress and dancer, said customers had not complained since the banner was unfurled at the busy intersection in Shockoe Bottom, a historic entertainment and residential district.
"As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't really bother me," she said. "You could say a lot worse things about him."

This is the Real Tragedy that Occured Yesterday

This was the picture that was given to me by some girls as a Christmas gift when I was a senior in High School. She will be ever held in high esteem with the likes of Maureen McCormick (Marsha), Mary Ann, Vallerie Bertenelli, and the lingerie models in the Sears Catalog . (well , I have to admit.. I "thought" about Farrah alot more 'cause I had the picture)

Michael Jackson, world famous pedophile, dead at 50Rick MoranNot speak ill of the dead, you say?You can speak ill of the dead if they have done "ill" while they were alive. And there isn't anything much more "ill" than molesting a kid.To those who claim Michael Jackson was exonerated of the crime of sexual molestation of a minor, I would ask a simple question; would you allow your teen or pre teen son to spend a night at Jackson's home unchaperoned?I thought so.Perhaps if you are eager to bestow such an honor on your son, you too wish to use your child for a gigantic payday as apparently some parents over the years did with their children, allowing them to stay with Jackson and being paid to keep quiet about abuse.As for Jackson's impact on the world, it says something truly awful about us that so many people would become rabid fans of this man of little talent. As a child with "The Jackson Five," Michael had a nice little voice and was very cute shaking his hips like an adult (The sexualization of children Michael's age when he performed with his brothers is another article entirely.). But as an adult, Jackson's voice - OK for pop but no great shakes for any other milieu - was thin as a reed with an annoying false vibrato and a squeaky "hiccup" that supposedly drove female fans nuts.His "dancing" was unique but repetitive. And I find it incredible that some would actually compare him to people with genuine talent like Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire. It goes without saying that neither of those two giants had to grab their crotch on stage to excite their fans.Gregiry Hines was a superior dancer. Just about any Motown artist of the 60's and 70's was a superior singer. Michael Jackson, the total entertainment package, was a good showman but hardly an earth shattering talent. The outpouring of tributes to him today is a fascinating exercise in wishful - perhaps delusional thinking. Proclaiming anyone "King of Pop" and waxing lyrical about how his talent impacted the music world is a misnomer. It wasn't Jackson's "talent" that affected future pop artists but rather his "style" - a completely different kettle of fish altogether. It certainly was original but worthy of the kind of encomiums we are reading and hearing today? Not hardly.In short, he was not a "no-talent" but rather a performer of limited gifts who, through savvy marketing, a recognition of trends (such as producing music videos that went far beyond concert performances that was standard fare for most MTV selections), and an eccentric personality, hit the world of pop music at exactly the right moment in history.A comparison to Elvis Presley is useful here. Presely was also a performer of limited ability but hit America at exactly the right time in history when his shockingly unique style (and having Tom Parker, a man ahead of his time, managing his career), brought unusual success. Elvis was also a great showman and his later career was sustained by his aging female fans who never tired of watching him grind out the old favorites on a Las Vegas stage.Perhaps it is the nature of pop music today to elevate these performers to heights undreamed of by real talents like Sinatra, Garland, Sammy Davis, Jr., and others whose pop stylings will last forever - even beyond the lifetimes of their fans. I say this not out of spite because I genuinely enjoyed Thriller, Billie Jean, and Beat It as well as other pop music of the day. Although limited in their artistic success, performers like Jackson reflected their times perfectly as all good pop music does. But does this mean that we should elevate Jackson to an artistic pedestal. Not hardly.I sympathize with many in Jackson's family today. Losing a brother or a son is always a tragedy. But I don't sympathize with Jackson's rabid fans. Losing oneself in the doings of someone who is deliberately manipulating your emotions is a form of narcissm. I suppose like most, I will mourn Jackson's passing as I have many icons of my youth who have left us. Farrah Fawcett, who also died yesterday, elicits the same yearning in my heart to return to what in my misty memory were simpler times when responsibilities were few and I had the optimism and confidence that the whole world was before me for the taking.I really wish the media weren't making such a big deal of Jackson's death. Other, more vital stories like Iran, health care, and the continuing power grabs of the Obama administration are given short shrift. But covering Jackson means a big audience so one can hardly fault the media for trying to cash in. They'd be crazy not to milk the story for all its worth.In 100 years, will historians be amazed at the popularity of people like Jackson? Hopefully by then, we will have outgrown our compulsion to place these people on a mountaintop and all but worship their every move.

Count Down to the 4th...be ready!!!

What would you expect from a place that voted Al Franken for Senator

I was walking down the street last night and saw a crowd of folks walking out of the St Paul Theater. I thought they all looked a little strange...now I know why..this is what they went to see...i don't know what is worse..the play itself or this dumb-ass review?!?!

Dance review: Dolls' 'Romeo' recasting is a mashup that fails to gel
By Linda Shapiro Special to the Pioneer Press
Updated: 06/22/2009 12:36:47 PM CDT

Choreographer Myron Johnson's recasting of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" as a tale of same-sex, star-crossed lovers would appear to be a dovetailing of like sensibilities. Like the Bard, Johnson mixes elements of high art and popular culture in entertaining works with plenty of poetry and imbedded social commentary.
His "Romiette and Juleo" honors the GLBT community and strongly condemns those who persecute it. Ballet of the Dolls, his company of dancers, perform with their usual commitment and brio. But ultimately this work seems cobbled together from undigested fragments rather than honed from a deeply felt theatrical vision.
The production references "West Side Story," the courts of medieval Italy and contemporary GLBT culture. But the jarring collage of music (Enigma, Mary J. Blige, Leonard Bernstein and Meshell Ndegeocello, to name a few) tends to overpower the dancing, encrusting it with sentimentality, heavy metal and heavy messages.
Johnson splits Romeo and Juliet into three couples — one heterosexual (Joy Langer and Grant Wittaker) and two same-sex (Joel Klausler and Doug Melroe, Lisa Conklin and Stephanie Fellner). They are innocents in a corrupt world, harassed by homophobic adults and lured by transgressive delights. In a club scene, for example, the couples observe a group of androgynes in bras and jockstraps bumping and grinding their way through a steamy routine that hints, alluringly, of multiple identities and erotic possibilities.
high extensions or tightly wound in speedy turns from exhibition jazz and club dance, fused with bland balletic gestures. The dancing often looks generic, its relationship to the music unfocused. To Bernstein's explosive, rhythmically complex "Dance at the Gym," for instance, Johnson sets a tepid mambo.
While this may be a reference to the decorum of medieval court dance, it comes off as weak tea served with hot salsa.
There are certainly jarring scenes of violence and mayhem. Guys in black suits round up three of the protagonists, throw hoods over their heads and mime some serious trashing and bashing as the lovers look helplessly. The scene graphically connects events like the Stonewall riots to prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib in ways both compelling and simplistic — like propaganda poster art. Far more poignant is the final scene in which the three "prisoners" who have died are gently manipulated like rag dolls by their grieving partners, who then dispatch themselves with daggers.
In a section that truly captures the poignancy of these outcasts and their predicament, two nuns bless and unite the couples to a lilting, lively spiritual that goes uncredited in the program. Through simple and uncluttered walking, kneeling, rocking and surging in kaleidoscopic patterns, the dancers reflect the ebb and flow of healing currents and the fluidity of sexual identity. Riddled with the spirit of ecumenical inclusion, the nuns begin shaking, quaking and moving on out. The healing, however briefly, has begun.

I'm outraged

Can you believe they show Jonas Brothers movies at school? That is despicable!

Children shown porn movie at primary school
Tuesday, June 16, 2009

Schoolchildren as young a five who were looking forward to a Jonas Brothers film were shown a hard-core porn movie instead.

The children were subjected to 45 seconds of the X-rate filth before a horrified teacher frantically ripped out the DVD player's plug.
The headteacher of the New York City school pledged to find whoever was responsible for the "despicable" act.
Parents initially heard the DVD player had been locked in his office before the film was shown- but it later emerged it had been in an open area where anyone could have tampered with it.
Mum Rona Easton told the New York Post: "My son told his friend he saw a naked lady at school."
She added: "I thought he was just being silly. It's appalling."
Five classes had been taken into an auditorium to watch "Camp Rock," a Disney Channel movie starring the Jonas Brothers according to headteacher Robert Marchi.
But he wrote to parents that a "very explicit pornographic video came on the screen."
He said: "This was extremely upsetting to the students and staff members in attendance . . . I am deeply sorry that this episode took place at PS 17. I know that we will make every effort to find out who was responsible for this despicable act."

I thought he could have any women he wanted !!!???

Indian sex workers learn karate
Prostitutes in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu have begun taking karate lessons to protect themselves from violent customers and pimps.
The women say they were so fed up with abuse that they approached a local community group for help.
The organisers hope the course in the ancient self-defence technique sends a message that violence against sex workers must stop.
India is thought to have nearly three million sex workers.
Most live on the fringes of society and have few legal rights.
Correspondents say that means they often have little or no choice but to put up with violence and harassment.
'I will kick him'
Dressed in white and wearing masks, the first 75 women to take the karate course in the coastal city of Madras (Chennai) had to brave intense heat as they practised their moves.
Through karate we can protect ourselves and also save others
Martha, sex worker
They trained together for nearly five hours a day, mostly learning how to fight. Now the women say they feel more able to protect themselves.
"Even though I may not be able to attack a group of five men when they attack me, I am fully confident now that I can escape," one sex worker, Santhi (not her real name), told the BBC Tamil service.
"I think I can easily handle one man at any given time. I face physical abuse on a daily basis and have been abused and been beaten up by my clients many times.
"A thug once stripped me of my clothes and told me to run naked. From now on, I think nobody can do that to me. I will kick him."
The Indian Community Welfare Organisation is providing the training free of charge. Its founder secretary, AJ Hariharan, said Tamil Nadu state alone was thought to have about 90,000 commercial sex workers.
"Many of them, particularly those who operate individually on the streets face physical abuse on a daily basis - not only from their customers, but also from local thugs and policemen," he told the BBC Tamil service.
"They attack these commercial sex workers, rob their money and force them into having unprotected sex. We want to train them in karate so that they can protect themselves from these violent attacks."
Mr Hariharan said the aim was to build the self esteem and self confidence of the women.
"We are going to train 300 sex workers in the second phase and 500 sex workers after that.
"We are trying to send a loud and clear message to those who abuse these sex workers that they cannot abuse them any more.

Erotic 'daggering' dance craze causing bodily harm

* "Daggering" dance craze controversial
* Spate of broken penises in Jamaica
* Facing government crackdown

AN erotic dance craze is thought to be the cause of a recent spate of broken penises in Jamaica, and now faces a government crackdown.

"Daggering", a lewd dance style where couples simulate dry sex in various positions to the beat of the music, is characterised by over-the-top gyrating, heavy pelvis-thrusting and daredevil leaps.

Many couples have taken the daggering dance from the club to the bedroom, with disastrous consequences.

Jamaican doctors were prompted to issue a warning on the dangers of daggering when presented with a range of fractured penises caused by rough intercourse.

The number of cases tripled in the last year, the UK's Sun reports.

The rising popularity of the new dance - and subsequent public protests - have prompted the Jamaican government to ban songs and videos with blatantly sexual content.
Jamaica's Broadcasting Commission, which defines daggering as a "colloquial term used in dancehall culture as a reference to hardcore sex or what is popularly referred to as 'dry sex' or the activities of persons engaged in the public simulation of various sexual acts and positions", enforced the ban in February.

"There shall not be transmitted through radio or television or cable services, any recording, live song or music video which promotes the act of 'daggering', or which makes reference to, or is otherwise suggestive of 'daggeringâ'," the Jamaican Broadcasting Commission's official statement said.

Daggering is a newly accepted name for an activity that has been present in Jamaica's dancehalls for many years. It is roughly the equivalent of the Caribbean's "cabin stabbing", another crude style of music and dance.

"Daggering is a dance that makes you unleash the beast! If you ain't know what I mean think about every sex position and put it in a dance," commenter Driva said of the dance.

A series of YouTube videos depict daggering as a rough, and sometimes violent, act which can be demeaning to women. One video shows popular group RDX performing its song Daggering live, with one member simulating extremely rough dry sex on the floor with a woman.
The community is divided over the dance, with singers up in arms over the ban, saying it stifles their right to free speech, but others welcome the ban.

Police: Handgun handed off at airport, gets on plane

By Larry King
INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
A U.S. Airways employee was being questioned by authorities this morning after a bag containing an unloaded gun apparently circumvented security and made it onto a plane at Philadelphia International Airport, police said.
A passenger waiting to board Flight 1195, destined for Phoenix, noticed another passenger handing a carry-on bag directly to the airline employee, said Officer Christine O'Brien, a Philadelphia police spokeswoman.
The bag was not sent through normal secuity screening, O'Brien said, making the waiting passenger suspicious. The passenger alerted officials with the Transportation Security Administration.
A TSA employee boarded the plane, located the suspect bag in an overhead compartment, and found that it contained an unloaded handgun, O'Brien said.
The incident took place at about 7:40 a.m., she said.
The owner of the bag and the U.S. Airways worker were being questioned this morning, police said.
The flight, which was originally scheduled to depart at 7:10 a.m., was delayed almost four hours, finally taking off shortly after 11.
Instead of arriving in Phoenix at shortly after 9 a.m., it was scheduled to reach Phoenix after 1 p.m., according to USAir's website.
Spokespersons for U.S. Airways and the TSA declined to comment on specifics of the incident, saying the FBI had taken over the investigation.
"Safety and security is our first and foremost priority in everything we do," Morgan Durrant, senior manager of corporate communications for the airline, said in an e-mailed statement. "We are cooperating with investigators fully and take security considerations very seriously. Further comment right now is not appropriate out of respect to the ongoing investigation."
