DUCK DYNASTY & Phil Robertson's IGNORANCE...

 

 

Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson Makes Controversial Remarks About Sin in America   by Erin Hill

( Anytime someone quotes the fictitious Bible, I often tune it off since I pretty much know the rhetoric; nevertheless, I offer this to those who love "Duck Dynasty" (I'm not one of them). The insensitivity of associating the LGBTQ community with bestiality is a new low.

‘Duck Dynasty’ star Phil Robertson took aim at homosexuality in an interview with GQ. Equating same sex relationships to bestiality, he called homosexuality ‘not logical.’

Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson is under attack for saying in the January issue of GQ  that “homosexual offenders” will not “inherit the Kingdom of God” and stating in graphic terms his preference for heterosexual sex over homosexual sex.

“Everything is blurred on what’s right and what’s wrong,” he told GQ. “Sin becomes fine.” He also paraphrased Corinthians: “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”

“We never, ever judge someone on who’s going to heaven, hell. That’s the Almighty’s job,” Robertson continued. “We just love ’em, give ’em the good news about Jesus—whether they’re homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort ’em out later, you see what I’m saying?”

 A&E hasn’t commented on how Robertson’s comments could impact the future of the hit series. However, in 2007, Dog the Bounty Hunter came under fire for using racial slurs, and A&E halted production of his series. And celebrity chef Paula Deen lost the support of several major sponsors after she admitted to using racial slurs earlier this year.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Gives Remarkable Speech on Gay Rights, Racism

Notoriously private executive spoke of personal discrimination

By Matt Vella @

"Tim Cook, Apple’s media-shy chief executive, made a rare public speech at the U.N. this week. Auburn University, Cook’s alma mater, posted his 13-minute talk on Saturday.


Cook made his comments after receiving an achievement award from the university. He talked of personally witnessing a cross burning during his youth, an event that “changed his life forever,” and went on to say, “Since these early days, I have seen and have experienced many types of discrimination and all of them were rooted in the fear of people that were different than the majority.”

Cook, 53, continued by describing the values he says he found in Apple and its founder Steve Jobs when he joined the company in the late 1990s. These include creating products accessible to the disabled and, later, backing national nondiscrimination legislation.

Cook went on to talk of gay rights, saying, “Now is the time to write these basic principles of human dignity into the book of law.” He also backed an immigration overhaul, adding of proposed reforms, “Do not do them because they are economically sound — although they are — do them because they are right and just.”

The statements are remarkable for the notoriously private Cook because they strongly imply personal experience with discrimination. In 2013, Out Magazine named Cook the most powerful LGBT person in the world.

RIP JOAN FONTAINE--BEAUTIFUL LEGEND:

Hollywood stalwart Joan Fontaine, best known for her roles in director Alfred Hitchcock's 1939 Rebecca and her Best Actress Oscar-winning role in his 1940 film Suspicion, died Sunday at her northern California home, according to several reports. She was 96.

Details of her death were not immediately available.

In addition to playing a mousey spouse in both the Hitchcock films, first alongside Laurence Olivier and then to Cary Grant, Fontaine's other well-known movies included 1943's The Constant Nymph, which got her a third Oscar nomination, 1944's Jane Eyre with Orson Welles, 1952's Ivanhoe with Robert Taylor, and 1957's controversial Island in the Sun with Harry Belafonte.

I  also remember her as the meek socialite in "THE WOMEN".

Her final role was in a 1994 TV movie.

Kirstie Alley's new show : "KIRSTIE"

( I MAY HAVE OVERSOLD THIS--SORRY FOLKS. I STILL WATCH IT BUT THE FIRST EPISODE WAS STILL THE BEST ONE)


TONIGHT'S PREMIERE: "KIRSTIE" on TV Land, starring Kirstie Alley--
LOVED IT!
In many ways an homage to "ALL ABOUT EVE" (thank you). The cast is good but as usual Rhea Pearlman steals every scene (she is obviously named after the most legendary scene stealer of them all from "All About Eve", Thelma Ritter). Alley is really comfortable in this role. I hope the future episode are just as funny and well written. CATCH IT!

Alley was very smart to cast the right people:

Michael Richards for physical comedy & stereotypical male point of view
Rhea Peralman as the wisecracking maid and best friend with a heart (and common sense)
Gilles Marini for the eye candy
Christopher  McDonald as her male diva counterpart

Eric Peterson who starred in "SKREK the MUSICAL" & other Broadway shows reminds me of a young Jackie Gleason; he's the everyday man (her son). He DOES need to catch up on his screen  acting, however..I think he will
Kristin Chenoweth playing the Eve role with a brassy sense of humor (but really, what can't this woman do?)

Kirstie Alley's character is just an exaggerated version of who we see in her interviews or on "Dancing with the Stars"-- a diva who is bold, funny & self deprecating

We need to just have faith in the writers.

I had noticed the nod to "ALL ABOUT EVE" even before the show aired but when Alley wore an exact replica of Bette Davis' dress in the party scene in "All About Eve" at the end of her show I knew I had nailed it...

Good luck Kirstie, you're a hard working, funny woman (and a Scientologist? Huh?)

"VOGUE" LAWSUIT WON -GO MADONNA & SHEP

 Madonna and Music Producer Win 'Vogue' Sampling Lawsuit

12:39 PM PST 11/18/2013 by Eriq Gardner 

The original lawsuit was filed in July by VMG Salsoul, the copyright owner of a 1976 composition called "Love Break." The plaintiff alleged that it was only through new technology that the "deliberately hidden" sampling had been detected.

But a U.S. District Court judge in California has ruled on summary judgment that sampling of the Horn hit was "trivial," in that in could not be recognized.

"Having listened to the sound recordings of Chicago Bus Stop, Love Break and Vogue, the Court finds that no reasonable audience would find the sampled portions qualitatively or quantitatively significant in relation to the infringing work, nor would they recognize the appropriation," the ruling reads. "The Court finds that any sampling of the Horn Hit was de minimis or trivial."


 The ruling had the potential of addressing a standard set in a 2006 case involving a N.W.A. rap song that sampled a Funkadelic riff. In that case, Bridgeport Music v. Dimension Films, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals wouldn't tolerate the sampling and looping of a two-second guitar chord. An appeals court wrote at the time, "Get a license or do not sample. We do not see this as stifling creativity in any significant way."

 In the present case, U.S. District Judge Beverly O'Connell somewhat sidestepped the issue of whether a very brief sample could ever amount to copyright infringement, declining to adopt any bright-line rule from a different circuit. The judge added that it wasn't appropriate to apply that case because there wasn't clarity as to whether there was copying or independent creation or, indeed any sampling at all.

Here's the full ruling.
Said attorney Richard Busch, who represented the defendants: "We are thrilled with the decision and believe it is absolutely the right result."

MIN. WAGE BEING RAISED

 

TRENTON — New Jersey voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot question today that will raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.25 an hour in January and amends the state Constitution to tie future increases to inflation.

Voters also approved a ballot question that allows veterans groups to use the proceeds from the bingo, raffles and other games of chance to repair their meeting halls or cover other building expenses.

The business community put up a tough fight to defeat the minimum wage measure, spending about $1 million to persuade the public the measure will lead to job losses and undermine their ability to move past the lingering effects of the recession.

 But they were outspent by unions and other supporters who raised $1.3 million to wage a very public campaign that included large rallies in cities across the state...

SHOPLIFTING WITH A DEAD BABY IN BAG--WTF?

 

 

Suspected teenage shoplifter caught with dead baby pleads not guilty in court

( NOT ONLY A HEARTLESS BITCH BUT STUPID ON TOP OF IT--WTF?)

Tiona Rodriguez, teen mom found with dead baby as she was supposedly shoplifting in a Victoria's Secret, appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court with her alleged partner in crime, Francis Estevez, but only over the theft — 'I don’t want to ignore the elephant in the room, but we are only arraigning the shoplifts,' said Assistant District Attorney Robert Hettleman

(JUDGE, CAN'T YOU MAKE AN EXCEPTION HERE--HEEELLLOOO!!!!)

Teen mom Tiona Rodriguez maintained her stoic facade Saturday during a brief hearing on charges that she shoplifted a $44.50 pair of skinny jeans from Victoria’s Secret.

Barely mentioned at the appearance was the corpse of her newborn son, discovered Thursday by stunned store security guards searching her bags for stolen merchandise.

 Rodriguez pleaded not guilty to the shoplifting charges.

Hettleman did reference the gruesome discovery of the dead 8 1/2-pound baby boy inside Rodriguez’s canvas bag as the two friends exited the flagship Victoria’s Secret store in Herald Square.

Cops said Rodriguez lied to police, claiming that she was six months pregnant when she suffered a miscarriage Wednesday. An autopsy two days later determined the boy was born alive — and nearly full term at eight months. Officials said the autopsy was inconclusive as to how the baby died.

SAME SEX MARRIAGES-NJ- STARTING NEXT MONDAY--OCT 21 st--YAY!!!

 

As of next Monday OCTOBER 21, 2013 at 12:01 AM same sex marriages will be legal in NJ (even as Christie is disputing it)--only if the NJ SUPREME COURT rejects it--which I don't think it will-YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Same-Sex Marriages to Start Oct. 21 in NJ [POLL/AUDIO]

 A judge on Thursday denied the Christie administration’s motion to delay the start of same-sex marriage in New Jersey. The administration has appealed, but if a stay isn’t granted, gay couples can apply for a marriage license starting Oct. 21, and in some cases get married.

Typically couples must wait three days to get married after getting the license, but in certain instances the marriage can take place immediately.

“The way the decision is actually written, at midnight on the 21st marriage licenses can start to be issued,” said Troy Stevenson, executive director of Garden State Equality. “However, special dispensation can be given in certain jurisdictions. There will be places where people will be getting married on the 21st. The city has got to make a special dispensation, a special case, and it only happens in very rare circumstances and this would be one of them.”

The Christie Administration is now asking the state appeals court to overturn yesterday’s ruling while it also continues to ask the state Supreme Court to take up the case immediately. Gov. Chris Christie made his position clear in the gubernatorial debate Tuesday night against his Democratic challenger Sen. Barbara Buono.

UPDATE OCTOBER21, 2013:  (GREAT NEWS !!!)

Gov. Chris Christie's administration is withdrawing its appeal of a judge's recent ruling in favor of gay marriage in New Jersey, according to Bloomberg.

According to Politicker NJ reporter Matthew Arco, Christie's administration said "the governor will do his constitutional duty and ensure his administration enforces the law as dictated by the N.J. Supreme Court."

Coffee Shop Horrors: Elaborate prank freaks out coffee connoisseurs (you gotta watch, it's hysterical!!!)

Posted on: 6:32 am, October 8, 2013, by Allison Croghan

(FOX 4) —" Patrons at a New York City coffee shop had the beans scared out of them when movie makers staged an elaborate prank to promote the upcoming horror film Carrie.

Jokers rigged tables and books to operate by remote control and connected a cable to a man who ‘accidentally’ spilled coffee onto a woman’s computer.

She becomes so angry she yells at the man, which sends him flying up the wall (thanks to that discreetly hidden cable).

Later, tables and chairs move away from her, and when she screams bloody-murder, books and pictures fly off the wall — which send patrons scurrying out the door with horrified expressions.
The adaptation of the classic horror film Carrie will be in theaters Oct. 18..."

WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT IS HEALTHCARE, A NEW CONGRESS, LESS POLITICS, LESS POWER FROM WASHINGTON DICTATING "THEIR" MONEY, TAXES & WELL BEING AND TO STOP, STOP, STOP THE SHUTDOWN--NOW!

THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT---ASSHOLE!

THE CONGRESS WHO HAS DONE THE LEAST IN US HISTORY--DISGRACEFUL !
THE MOST WAS DURING LBJ'S PRESIDENCY  ( AND WE'RE STILL REAPING THE SOCIAL BENEFITS FROM IT)

GAY SLURS/BULLYING/IGNORANCE----AGAIN!

 




THIS IS EXACTLY WHY SAME SEX MARRIAGE CANNOT--I REPEAT CANNOT-BE PUT ON A BALLOT!

WE ARE NOT THE MAJORITY AND SADLY MANY PEOPLE IN AMERICA STILL FEEL LIKE THESE ASSHOLES FROM MISSISSIPPI AND THE BIGGER ASSHOLE, TOM CORBETT,  FROM PENNSYLVANIA.  WE HAVE OUR RIGHTS IN THE CONSTITUTION FOR "ALL" !--THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT THIS ON A BALLOT DISGUST ME!

F U CHRISTIE--WE NEED THIS TO BE A FEDERAL LAW--WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF? WE'RE NOT TAKING "ANYTHING" FROM HETEROSEXUALS --WHY ALL THE HATE & FEAR?

luckily my straight/bi friends are not threatened by the idea of love of ANY kind...


AND SORRY JOHN SUTTER, I WILL NOT TURN THE OTHER CHEEK & CHEER FOR MY OPPRESSORS --WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT TOO LONG...

Writer John Sutter says gay Americans should root for Ole Miss this weekend, despite slurs football players reportedly yelled at actors.

(CNN) -- "When will homophobia in the United States start seeming so ridiculous it's laughable?

Not in 2013, it seems.

Certainly not this week.

On Thursday, the governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Corbett, grinned as he compared, in a television interview, same-sex marriage to a brother marrying his sister.

"I apologize to anybody who feels offended by that," he said later.

Feels offended? Please. That's offensive.

Worse, football players and other students from Ole Miss reportedly heckled a Tuesday night performance of "The Laramie Project," a play about a gay college student, Matthew Shepard, who was tortured and murdered in 1998. They yelled anti-gay slurs, including the three-letter f-bomb, the play's director told the university newspaper.

"This behavior by some students reflects poorly on all of us, and it reinforces our commitment to teaching inclusivity(sic) and civility to young people who still have much to learn," two university officials said in a prepared statement.

Homophobes and the football teams that harbor them understand they should apologize.

Maybe that should be seen as an improvement.

But it doesn't seem genuine to me.

These apologies are designed to placate the gay community, not embrace it.

The comments themselves are reduced to the realm of political gaffes instead of being seen for what they are, which is hate speech that contributes to gay kids committing suicide and to parents rejecting kids who come out to them as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender..."

 ONE NEVER FEELS MANIPULATED, ONLY ELATED.

I KNOW A MOVIE IS GOOD WHEN YOU DON'T WANT IT TO END (THIS IS ONLY 93 MINUTES--I WANTED MORE).

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ANYTHING BY LAKE BELL SOON.

I SAW LAKE BELL PROMOTING THIS & I WAS AFRAID THAT THE MOVIE MIGHT BE TOO ESOTERIC SINCE THE BACKDROP IS ABOUT THE WORLD OF VOICE OVER.

IT ISN'T AT ALL !

YOU WILL RELATE TO ALL THE RELATIONSHIP ISSUES, INSECURITIES AND AND CELEBRATORY MOMENTS WE ALL EXPERIENCE IN DIFFERENT SCENARIOS OF OUR LIVES.
