Why do you think we're in Iraq? People say we're freeing the Iraqis one minute and then change their opinion and say they're horrible people.
Soldiers over there say we don't get half the news. There's so much good going on. The majority of the people appreciate the help. The majority, not the weirdos who are deceived.
Where do you get your information about the war?
The Bible and the 700 Club. I also listen to preachers who know what's going on. Pat Robertson.
What do you like about Bush?
He's a praying man of god. He's a family man and he does care. He gets blamed for everything. If this country would turn back to god, things would get better. You can't go on killing babies and allowing homosexual stuff to stay. We do love the people, but we don't love their actions.
Do you think talking about homosexuality does anything to improve healthcare or poverty?
I guess for me I've always had to trust the lord for the next job, which is usually housecleaning. If you have your eyes on him, he'll take care of you. The government can't help us.
Do you always vote?
Yes, I volunteered for the Republican Party and I enjoyed it very much.
Have you always been Republican?
When I first registered, I was a Democrat. Just from studying in school, I thought that's what I wanted to be because I believed in government for the people, by the people and of the people. But after I was saved, I realized the Republican beliefs are me so I switched and I'm glad I did.
What does it mean to be a Republican?
Republicans pick the people who believe like we do.
You mean believe in the Bible?
Yes and godly principles. If we kick god out, we'll be like other countries that have AIDS, sickness and poverty. God created the earth, he created the rules and he knows what's best for everybody.
Unfortunately, we have AIDS, sickness and poverty in this country.
Yes, because we allow homosexuality.
You blame homosexuality for AIDS, sickness and poverty?
Well, sometimes people are innocent. This nation is in trouble. The ACLU are run by communists and funded by communists. What does that tell you? They want to take god away from us.
The ACLU once helped Pat Robertson's son set up churches. They also helped Jerry Falwell fight church restrictions three years ago. If they wanted to take god way from you, why would they help Pat Robertson's son and Jerry Falwell?
I haven't heard about that. I'm sure there are a few good people in the ACLU.
I've interviewed a lot of people on this trip and while they want freedom of religion, none have said they want to take god away.
When they first started the country, those that didn't believe in Jesus were put in jail. Once a country is dedicated to god and founded on its principles, it has to stay that way.
What issues are most important to you?
Getting the right Supreme Court Justice in you. I want god back in the schools. They kick god out of schools and they wonder why we have drugs and sex in the schools.

state of the nation
kichethekiller: yo
amandahuginkiss: hello!
kichethekiller: yo.
kichethekiller: sorry if my statements on killoggs seem extreme
amandahuginkiss: no, no...you're fine.
kichethekiller: it's just that the bullshit propaganda people spout makes me so incredibly angry
amandahuginkiss: you aren't the one who is annoying me at all. Eric and rcaston, on the other hand, can roast.
kichethekiller: what's the matter with those guys? do they go around beating up little old ladies?
amandahuginkiss: I think that a stop codon came before their logic and empathy genes were transcribed.
kichethekiller: yep
amandahuginkiss: I've made sooooo many legitimate arguments over the past week or so (though mostly not on Killoggs, because I try to avoid warring there for time constraint reasons), and I am continually left with no real response to even retaliate back against.
amandahuginkiss: me: "here are 10 reasons that global warming might contribute to the hyperactive hurricane seasons of recent years"
them: there is no proof that global warming exists
me: I just gave you ten reasons!!!
them: ot
amandahuginkiss: it's not real.
amandahuginkiss: not "ot." oopsy with the typing
kichethekiller: you're ten reasons are obviously liberal propaganda. i mean come on, they were based on science. everyone knows science is liberal. if you were objective you'd listen to rush limbaugh and watch foxnews.
kichethekiller: that's were the truth is!
kichethekiller: everyone knows cnn is communist propaganda.
kichethekiller: popular science? more like popular socialism!!1!!
kichethekiller: pat robertson knows the truth.
amandahuginkiss: this is the height of absurdity. it's one thing to believe in silly little lies (like, "Ronald Reagan was American hero"), but it's another to be completely fucking ignorant, and with a false sense of superiority besides.
kichethekiller: i know. what? you think bush is doing a bad job as president!?!?! you are obviously a sheep!
kichethekiller: bush saved us from iraq's weapons of mass destruction!!
kichethekiller: fucking puke, puke, puke.
amandahuginkiss: this is seriously the death rattle of everything I was ever taught to believe in by my parents. Logic, rationale, truth, empathy...they're all passing away.
kichethekiller: that rodney caston dude is a gigantic fucking idiot.
kichethekiller: new orleans shouldn't get any federal money!!!11!!!
amandahuginkiss: where is he from? did he even say?
kichethekiller: even though new orleans supplies him with 25% of his gasoline.
amandahuginkiss: I know Eric was from Florida.
kichethekiller: he's from texas.
kichethekiller: he prolly bitches about his gas prices too.
amandahuginkiss: ha!!!
kichethekiller: this is all the fault of the democrats & liberals!!!!
kichethekiller: if the free market would reign my gas prices would be so much cheaper!!!1
kichethekiller: we need to get rid of corporate oversight that would make gas prices so much cheaper!!!!
amandahuginkiss: he also probably advocated destroying Texas' coastal estuaries in order to appease the needs of offshore oil companies. hopefully (if there is a vengeful god) that will work out well for him in the end.
kichethekiller: the best way to jump start the free market is to elect retarded religious fanatics into office!
kichethekiller: doesn't this dumbass realize that texas is a sponge for federal money?
amandahuginkiss: I live across the street from one who used to be a state senator. he's fun to psychologically taunt.
kichethekiller: red states suck up federal money. blue states pay for them.
kichethekiller: do tell.
amandahuginkiss: his only real accomplishment during his time in office was getting the polka declared as the state dance.
amandahuginkiss: he was Tommy Thompson's little slave boy, pretty much. he did everything Tommy told him to.
kichethekiller: i'd love to see some of these red staters actually act fiscally "conservative" and get of the federal dole.
kichethekiller: their would be hell to pay
amandahuginkiss: I used to try to corrupt his kids with talk about witchcraft when I was a kid.
kichethekiller: haha!!!
amandahuginkiss: and our families used to have radio wars, where he'd turn his xian station up, we'd turn the metal station up, etc.
kichethekiller: how dare you assault wingnut family values
amandahuginkiss: but, the thing is, Gary (the ex-senator)? he seemed to have gone COMPLETELY FUCKING INSANE during the election he wound up losing.
kichethekiller: what happened
amandahuginkiss: maybe it was the 10 lawn signs for his opponent that we had in our yard, that he had to see each day.
kichethekiller: hahahaha!!!!
kichethekiller: that's awesome.
kichethekiller: take that wingnuttia!
amandahuginkiss: he started acting really odd. he'd regularly cut the lawn or go blow the leaves off of his roof at 11 at night.
amandahuginkiss: so my mom wrote an editorial to the Green Bay Press Gazette, basically saying that he claims to be a community/family man, but he doesn't have any respect for his neighbours.
kichethekiller: poor wingnut.
amandahuginkiss: he lost, and then he tried running again (we're pretty certain it was so that he could syphon donated money and avoid bankruptcy.
amandahuginkiss: and he lost again.
kichethekiller: but i thought wingnuts were fiscal "conservatives"...
amandahuginkiss: and now his garage looks like something out of an elderly cat ladies' house, and he sells used cars.
kichethekiller: better than fucking up the gov't
amandahuginkiss: that's one thing I have to say about Wisconsin: our people generally have little tolerance for fuck ups. there are exceptions depending upon what region it is, but we're generally pretty, "that's a terrible idea! get the fuck out of office."
kichethekiller: awesome.
amandahuginkiss: of course, we're responsible for keeping Tommy Thompson in office for so many years, which I could never understand.
amandahuginkiss: but Feingold makes up for it.
amandahuginkiss: and Tommy Thompson is a womanizing alcoholic, which is kind of amusing. and his successor, Scott McCallum, had a stripper daughter who he paid off to stop her from stripping.
kichethekiller: well of course. politicans are ALWAYS sleazy especially when they are religious conservatives.

two dreams of air crashes
1. i get on a jet at laguardia. i don't like that i am taking off from laguardia, because in my dream the ends of the runways at laguardia end in ramps. these ramps end at a near vertical incline. we taxi down the runway and take off. despite the steep incline of the ramp the plane does not get very high into the air. we coast along for a while with the pilots trying to pull up to no avail. eventually we fly towards a bridge that is very tall. it is a little taller than the highrise bridge in new orleans. the pilots try to fly over the bridge but wind up flying under it. the planes wings hit the bridge's columns and are knocked off. we slam into the ground. myself and the other passengers get out of the plane and wander around stunned.
2. i get on a commercial passenger space shuttle. i am going to an asteroid or possibly one of jupiter's moons. we take off. while we are leaving the earth's atmosphere the rocket cuts off. we plummet back to earth. we splash down in the atlantic ocean. in dreamlike confusion i, along with other passengers, try to exit the plane but return for a life preserver. the life preservers are small and crappy so i grab a bunch and get out. i use the life preservers to stay afloat as the space shuttle sinks. i am worried about dying of hypothermia before i am found by rescuers. i notice that there is an enormous mass of seaweed and floating plants near me. this is the sargasso sea. it is held in with chicken wire and is a national wildlife preserve. within the chicken wire and floating plants sea creatures are moving around. i see steps near me made of chicken wire. the steps lead up to a chicken wire path through the sargasso sea. this is a wildlife preserve, after all. i coast along the edge of the plants and chicken wire.i come to a small inlet within the chicken wire and plants of the sargasso sea and enter it. i can touch roots or seaweed or underwater plants if i stretch out my toes. from this inlet the sargasso sea looks very much like a marsh. i see a ways away within the floating plants a dark figure rise. this figure looks humanoid but appears to be made of algae or plant matter. it turns it's glowing eyes upon me and starts running at me. i quickly exit the inlet and head back towards the chicken wire steps. the dark algae humanoid is still chasing after me when it is stopped by a tall thin beautiful elf-like woman in a white robe. the woman and algae humanoid begin to leave. i walk up the chicken wire steps and follow them as they walk amongst the plants. the illusion they are wrapped in begins to fade. the algae man is really just a blocky robot with glowing ocular units. as the tall woman meets with two other tall thin elven like women deep within the rolling marshland of the sargasso sea their illusory appearance begins to dissipate. slowly their appearance devolves to that of small ugly impish sexless creatures a greyish green close to the color of the plants in which they live.

Special Olympics
The judge blows the whistle, and everyone falls down
Crutches in the air - braces on the ground
The crowd begins to laugh, at the helpless tards
No pity for the freaks, because they're fun to watch
There are:
Retards in potato sacks
One-legged amputees lying on their backs
Stupid fucking mongoloids drowning in the pool
Parapalegics in their chairs - all they do is drool
NO LIMBS - NO FEET
NO LIPS - CAN'T EAT
CAN'T WALK - CAN'T SEE
NO COCK - CAN'T PEE
NO LIMBS - NO FEET
NO LIPS - CAN'T EAT
CAN'T WALK - CAN'T SEE
NO COCK - CAN'T PEE
Half of them have died, when the day is over
No trophies given out, 'cause all of them are LOSERS
-Old Lady Drivers, "Special Olympics"

the hellbound heart
i watched the passion again tonite. i enjoyed it even more than the first time.
although this movie is utterly brutal, i have to say that it does in fact have a certain lyrical beauty to it. i consider it to be up their with tetsuo: the iron man and santa sangre. i think i may like this movie even more than the last temptation of christ.
i have been reading a lot of reviews of this movie on the net. you can pretty much split these reviews into two categories, idiot christians who babble about how much they like the movie because it's about jay-zus, and idiot nonchristians who dislike the movie because they think it will turn everyone who sees it into right-wing fundamentalist christians. none of these people seem aware of the amazing piece of art that has fallen into our culture. i would love to take a cat of nine tails to their pathetic asses and then nail them to fucking trees.
that being said, i want to talk about something i've been thinking about since the first time i saw this film. that is the s&m undercurrent of the film. many christian reviewers have stated that statements of an s&m undercurrent are slander to this film or are being read into the film by unbelievers. likewise, many of the nonchristian reviewers have in fact used this as slander against the film or said it dismissively. while i am neither a christian nor and s&m enthusiast i think this back and forth illustrates the general ignorance of these reviewers and illustrates their lack of appreciation of this film as art and art in general. firstly, s&m obviously owes a great deal to catholicism. stretching back even before the fetishizing of modern day catholic clergy, nuns, monks, schoolgirls, altarboys, etc. you can find s&m imagery within works such as the marquis de sade's justine and denis diderot's the nun which are artistic versions of older s&m porn. hell, you can go back past chaucer to find this fetishizing.
but the theme of sadomasochism in the passion (and within the story of christ's death in the gospels) goes much deeper than just a passing resemblance to objects of fetish. this is more than just the story of a naked man who is beaten, abused and tormented. in an interview with fakir musafar, prominent sadomasochist and body modification apologist, in the essay collection "apocalypse culture", he identifies the masochist as the master and the sadist as the servant. it is the masochist drives the sadist to cause the masochist greater amounts of pain which the masochist perceives as pleasure. the sadist is simply their to carry out the wishes of the masochist. in fact in the book, venus in furs, written by leopold von sacher-masoch (from whose name we derive the term masochist), severin, the main character, forces his wife to torture him in order that he may receive sexual fulfillment by threatening to kill her children if she does not comply with his desires. musaraf takes this further. musaraf seems to be obsessed with the idea of spectacle. while he considers masochism and body modification to be spiritual affairs, he refers to the masochist as a "star" and of the act as a "ceremony". these are very public terms to apply.
you are probably now asking yourself, what this has to do with the passion. several times during the movie the question arises of choice and who is in charge of the situation. the movie opens up with satan taunting jesus and trying to get jesus to turn back. later on jesus is told by pontius pilate that he has authority, jesus responds that the only authority pilate has comes from above. by this he means that the only authority pilate has is granted by god, jesus is god, the only authority pilate has comes from jesus. jesus is the masochist driving the passion play. it is made obvious repeatedly that jesus could stop this at any moment if he were to just say, "stop". it is like the sample from the unknown s&m porno in meat beat manifesto's album storm the studio where someone is being told that whenever they want this to stop, it will, stop, but the moment they say stop, it is all over with and will not continue. the moment jesus says stop, that's it, it's done. jesus, though, is the ultimate masochist and is the commited star of this ceremony. even when he is hanging on the cross and is asked by both caiphas and the thief crucified beside him to come down of the cross, he stays. he is going to see this through and give the ultimate sacrifice for love. this is the same sacrifice for love that the main character in the story of o makes. she is a masochist devoted to giving her lover pleasure. all of the pain she feels is merely her way of giving him pleaure. in the end she gives her life, giving the ultimate sacrifice for the pleasure of another.
as an addendum, at the end of this movie, jesus rises from this sacrifice, his bodied has been transfigured by this spiritual experience so that he now bears the open wounds of the stigmata.
i would like to end with two items. when i saw this film tonite, people applauded at the end of the film which was incredibly creepy. this is a moving and thought provoking film, it is disturbing that people should have that response to it. i would also like to give a big FUCK YOU to everyone out there who wanted to see this movie but didn't because christians decided they liked it. the movie is no less powerful or different because any particular group claims it.

You Might Be A New Orleanian If...
my mom's sent me this, yo.
Your sunglasses fog up when you step outside.
No matter where else you go in the world, you are always disappointed in the food.
Your loved one dies and you book a jazz band before you call the coroner.
You die of cirrhosis of the liver and your death certificate reads "Natural Causes."
You think the breeze from a flying roach feels good on a hot summer night.
Your accent sounds nothing like Harry Connick, Jr's. Or Dennis Quaid's.
You can sing these jingles by heart: "Rosenberg's, Rosenberg's, 1825 Tulane;" "At the beach, at the beach, at Pontchartrain Beach..."
You were a high school graduate before you realized that Catholic and Public were not two major religions.
Your baby's first words are "long beads."
You ask, "How they running?" and "Are they fat?" but, you're inquiring about seafood quality and not the Crescent City Classic.
When a hurricane was imminent, you had a lot more faith in Nash Roberts than some Super Doppler 6000.
Your town is low on the education chart, high on the obesity chart and you don't care because you're No. 1 on the party chart.
Nothing shocks you. Period. Ever.
Your one-martini lunch becomes a five-Bloody Mary afternoon -- and you keep your job.
Being in a jam at Tulane and Broad isn't the same as being stuck in traffic.
You're walking in the French Quarter with a plastic cup of beer; when it starts to rain, you cover your beer instead of your head.
Your idea of health food is a baked potato instead of fries with your seafood platter.
You have to take your coffee with chicory and favorite coffeemaker with you on a three-day trip.
You exhibit the "doubloon reflex" by stomping runaway coins with your foot.
You have sno-ball stains on your shoes.
You call tomato sauce "red gravy."
Your middle name is your mother's maiden name, or your father's mother's maiden name, or your mother's mother's maiden name, or your grandmother's mother's maiden name, or your grandfather's mother's maiden name.
You know you recycled too much newspaper when there isn't enough for the dinner (or crawfish / crab) table.
You are going through customs and the agent asks you where you're from and you answer, "Gentilly."
On certain Spring days, Crawfish Monica is your breakfast.
Your house payment is less than your utility bill.
You've done your laundry in a bar.
You push little old ladies out of the way to catch Mardi Gras throws.
You look forward to being smashed by a Hurricane.
You don't show your "pretties" during Mardi Gras (but you watch others).
Catching "crabs" makes you smile.
You write "crookedpolitician" as all one word.
You know it's "ask" but you purposely say "ax."
You understand it when someone describes their favorite color as "K&B purple."
You know how to mispronounce street names correctly. (Melpomene, Terpsichore, Chartres, etc.)
You know that Tchoupitoulas is a street and not a disease.
You "boo" the mayor on national television.
Beignets are the major cause of your gallstones.
You wear sweaters in October because it ought to be cold.
Someone asks you, "Where y'at?" and you tell them how you are.
You are left behind at an out-of-town bar searching for a "go cup."
You think of potholes as naturally occurring speed bumps.
Your grandparents are called "Maw Maw" and "Paw Paw."
Your Santa Claus rides an alligator and your favorite Saint is a football player.
You suck heads, eat tail, sing the blues and you actually know where you got them shoes.
The naming of an insanely comic fictional Lucky Dog salesman after the founder of the Jesuits makes you reflect, "Well, who else?"
You shake out your shoes before putting them on.
You're afraid to move away because you won't be able to make Sugar Busters groceries.
You know why you should never, ever swim by the Lake Pontchartrain steps.
You cringe every time you hear an actor with a Southern or Cajun accent in a "New Orleans-based" movie or TV show.
You waste more time navigating back streets than you would if you just sat in traffic.
You still call the Fairmont Hotel the Roosevelt.
You consider garbage cans a legal step to protecting your parking space on a public street.
You fall asleep to the soothing sounds of four box fans.
You ignore cockroaches because you know the only ones you could kill are the weak or infirmed, and it would only serve to strengthen the breed.
