CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS- RIP


One of my fave black sheep of the political/pundit area-
 CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS DIED TODAY.
i will truly miss his quick wit, sharp tongue and sound bites when taking the religions right to task for all their misdeeds.
the best hitchenson quote, (and there are many) ~ 
"if you gave jerry farwell an enema you could bury him in a matchbox."

Christopher Hitchens died Thursday in Houston. He was 62. The legendary writer was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2010.
His death was announced by Vanity Fair.
when he was a beauty

Hitchens was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England in 1949. His father, Eric, was a Navy veteran, and his mother, Yvonne, a bookkeeper who would eventually commit suicide during an extra-marital rendezvous. His parents scrimped and saved so that he could attend the independent Leys School in Cambridge, and later Balliol College, Oxford, because they were determined that he would receive a top-notch education. During his time at university, his opposition to the Vietnam War prompted Hitchens to join the political left. study socialistic tracts and take part in political protests.
ladies & gentlemen, i present the best of christopher hitchens-

PUNK ROCK BANNED IN INDONESIAN!

oh geesh... it looks like culture is going backwards... wtf is going on?!

police gather a group of detained Indonesian punks at a police school in Aceh Besar in Aceh province. Sharia police are "morally rehabilitating" more than 60 young punk rock fans, saying the youths tarnish the province's staunch Islamic image. After being arrested at a punk rock concert in the provincial capital Banda Aceh Saturday night, 59 male and five female punk rock fans have been forced to have their hair cut, bathe in a lake, change clothes and pray

TOM OF FINLAND IS LEAVING FINLAND

and will soon be traveling to a city near you!

The legendary homoerotic works of Tom of Finland have become iconic stereotypes of masculine gay men throughout the world. Many people will be surprised to learn that arguably the most internationally acclaimed Finnish artist comes from Kaarina, a neighbouring town to Turku. 
Tom of Finland  alias Touko Laaksonen (1920-1991) came home to Turku! 
The Homotopia organisation (from Liverpool in the UK) will provided Turku with an extensive collection of 
Tom of Finland's works, from sketches made during his early years to later works.
This exhibited  will end on december 18th, and will soon travel.
 The works in the exhibition came from the Tom of Finland Foundation collection in Los Angeles.

JERRY SANDUSKY CALLS 1 800-REALITY ALL THE TIME


Amendola

Jerry Sandusky's Lawyer Makes 

Unfortunate Gaffe


Extremist right-wing homophobes and hate groups have already tried to use the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse case to push false and professionally discredited arguments that child molestation and pedophilia are linked to homosexuality, so don't expect them to ignore the phone number Sandusky attorney Joe Amendola suggested skeptics call in a press conference gaffe this week.
At one point, Amendola discussed the possibility that Mike McQueary witnessed a rape, told Joe Paterno and two university administrators, and no one did anything except tell Sandusky to stay out of the locker room with kids. To anyone who believes that version of events, Amendola said, "I suggest you dial 1-800-REALITY."
1-800-REALITY, as reporters quickly discovered, happens to connect to a triple-X gay phone line.
