VAST LEFT WING CONSPIRACY

“Demented or Determined?”

The Peace Corps, asked this very question of “Miss” Lillian Carter when she decided to become a Peace Corps volunteer at the age of 68.

My theory is that her “service” was part of a grander “left wing conspiracy,” hatched many years ago by then diabolical Democratic Party operatives interested in feathering their own political nests at this very time in our lives. Think about it. Barack Obama’s father is Kenyan, you know, and Barack would have been a bitty baby at the time “Miss Lillian” joined the Corps., and she could have snatched the baby from a third world village and raised it in obscurity on a Georgia peanut farm, and so…

OK, the preceding is pure Anemi drivel, partly because it is April Fool’s day, and partly because I am getting a bit tired of peeps pulling out the “race card” as some form of safety net whenever things aren’t quite working out to their convenience. This goes for all people guilty of this lame fall-back, regardless of color, and for me – enuff said. It really would not surprise me to see the Clintonistas run with this notion – I guess we’ve seen worse, and surely more will follow.

Anyhow, I am giving some consideration to joining the Peace Corps, and got distracted (one of my better traits) by some historical stuff on their site, and this Lillian Carter info popped up. Born Bessie Lillian Gordy, better known as “Miss Lillian,” mother to U.S. President Jimmy Carter, did join the Peace Corps in 1966 when she was 68 years old. Barack Obama was born in 1961, so the picture above – well, it’s close enough, heY!

When Lillian Carter was making her decision, the Corps asked her to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. She was asked to explain why a well-off Southern widow, whose son was running for Governor of Georgia, was volunteering to serve dark-skinned people in stifling heat.

In her own words, Miss Lillian was just taking the Corps advertising campaign at face value—”age is no barrier.” Had she been 40 years younger, she would have been labeled a social activist. No one would have questioned her motives.

The results of the psychiatric evaluation were straightforward enough, and the Doctors said “Miss Lillian” was exorcising her demons of white guilt over Southern race relations. Nevertheless, she was sent to New Delhi, India and then on to a colony about 30 miles outside of Bombay, where she worked as a family planner and nurse in the local clinic for the next two years.

Following her tour, “Miss Lillian” often said her experience was worth 1000 times it’s weight in gold. However, this is from the same woman who said; “If I had known how my children were going to turn out, I would have remained a virgin.” As for me, well, OK then, Lillian. I’m off for a little more… “distraction,” heY!

Love Client Number Nine

So, just wondering what Eliot Spitzer, the defamed “Sheriff of Wall Street” and short-term Governor of New York will do with his time now that he’s better known as “Client Number Nine?” Spitzer’s young, being born in 1959, the year “Love Potion Number 9″ hit the music charts, first by “The Clovers,” but also sung well by “The Searchers.” Yeah, he’ll be comin’ back, heY!

THE SEARCHERS ~ “LOVE POTION NUMBER NINE”

YOU TUBE FRIENDS

That does it, heY! Pakistan is def off my YouTube friends list. They knocked out the site all over the world yesterday, and I thought it was my shizzy computer. Guess they cannot take a joke. Too bad, but mebe we should worry about more than them having an atom bomb.

An effort by Pakistan’s government to block its citizens from accessing YouTube yesterday caused an outage in the video-sharing website that affected most of the world.

70 Pakistani internet providers were ordered to block YouTube access because it showed cartoons which were deemed offensive because of their depiction of the Islamic prophet Mohammad, as well as trailers for an upcoming Dutch film portraying Islam as as a religion that is prone to encourage violence against women and homosexuals, the Associated Press reported.

The block was meant to cover Pakistan alone, but Pakistan’s clumsy implementation meant it affected two-thirds of world’s internet population, particularly in Asia, where the Google-owned service was down for about two hours starting at about 8am Monday morning New Zealand time, AP reported.

There were no reports of users in New Zealand being affected.

Analysts blamed the outage on Pakistan Telecom, which sent domestic requests for YouTube data into oblivion, then published these routes to its international carrier, PCCW, one of the world’s 20 largest data carriers. PCCW passed the route to other international carriers, who began directing their international YouTube requests to oblivion as well, AP reported.

The problem has raised fears about the security and reliability of the global internet.

YIKES, heY!

HOPE IN HAVANNA

Raul Castro, now 76, and now el Presidente, demonstrates his new policy for Guantanomo Bay; “Catch and Release.”

Capturing the planet in mid yawn, Cuban lawmakers named Fidel Castro’s baby bro as president, kinda sorta ending the almost half-century rule of really ancient brother Fidel.

Cuba’s 614-member national assembly, made up of, catch this: Communist Party members, ha, chose Raul Castro, now 76, to rule the island nation for the next, God willing and the creek don’t rise, five years, it announced today on TV. Raul perhaps, or not, recalls he was nine years old when American farm boy Philo Farnsworth’s patented dream of television was introduced to the world in color by RCA.

Speaking repetitively, but all by himself, Raul Castro had this to say today; “I assume the responsibility that has been given to me, with the conviction that I affirmed many times, that there is only one commander and chief of the Cuban revolution: Fidel is Fidel.” For those of you who’s Spanglish, shees non so good, the translation; “It is what it is.”

Viva Raul, heY!

Chris Crocker on Christianity

Chris Crocker “makes his bed” out of the Bible

You’ll get no debate out of me when it come to free speech, First Amendment rights, and all that jazz, but there really ought to be a law prohibiting “B” stars, wannabes, or anybody for that matter, in using religion as a prop to advance a fizzling acting career. It’s just…tired! Chris is a bright guy, and I expect more from entertainers than another reverse hate speech on Christianity and sexual orientation. Chris’s latest diatribe follows:

FOR EVERYONE UPSET ABOUT THE BIBLE PICTURE:

Before I get started, let me just say that any Christian who threatens to kill me or tells me to die or wants to beat me up is not only a hypocrite, but is also disobeying the bible.

Any Christian who wants to kill me for ripping up the Bible is full of shit. If someone were to break a Britney CD, I wouldn’t get mad because I understand that people have rights. Same thing.

For everyone surprised by the fact that I have a picture of me with a ripped Bible – don’t be. Do NOT be surprised that I am not Christian. Why are you surprised that I don’t support a book that doesn’t support my lifestyle? I don’t hate God, I hate the man who wrote hate into the bible. Any book that says I am going to a fiery place in my afterlife for sleeping with a man is NOT a book I support.

I will admit that I am biased based on my personal encounters with Christians, but for the most part, I have only known them to be good for one thing and that’s threats. They think they can threaten you because they think they’re powerful. They think that everyone should be Christian and if you’re not, you’re nothing. I’ve known ATHIESTS who were more humanitarian-like than most Christians.

Being religious does NOT make you a good person! Being CHRISTIAN does NOT make you a good person! Being honest and wanting peace makes you a good person..

The saying is ‘Live and let live..’ and a lot of Christians don’t know how to do that. They think it’s their duty to apoint you and change you and it just isn’t.

Think about it.

If there is a God he (a: isn’t going to expect me to know he exists because I am human and the bible was written by human- (b: he/she/it isn’t going to send me to this “fiery” place called hell just for sleeping with a man.

If he is a God worth my worship, he isn’t going to care who or what I fuck.

If he is a God worth my worship, he would have came down from his cloud a long time ago.

I know a lot of Christians say ‘Oh, I’m not like that! Those are the hypocritical Christians!’ — in my mind all Christians are hypocritical. Most Christians can believe in a man who rose from the dead, but they can’t believe in an Alien sighting..

OK, for all you people who are all like “i’m a christian and i don’t support hate….” or “not all christians are bad, i’m open-minded, i support blah-blah-blah” I have one thing to say to you: SAVE IT.

Yeah, while you were out being a good, non-gay hating, “open-minded” Christian, 3 of your youth-pasters are probably out posting hate-mail to me on myspace and hasseling 13-yr old gays on their way to school.

While you were being “tolerant”, a kid one state away was being beaten to death, or shot for being gay..

If you support us, ask yourself this: how many people know it? Does your family know it? Does your boyfriend/girlfriend/ wife? Are you scared to show your support for gays, and if you are why? Are you witnessing the voilence and hate around you?

The truth is, even CHRISTIANS are afraid of Christians! I know Christians who support gays and they’re afraid to show it because they’re afraid of what the Christian community might do to them.

it’s like a gang or a cult.. and is that really something you want to be a part of?

The people doing the preaching are the scary ones.. the ones doing the preaching are the ones you need to be scared of, not gays.

In my experience, Christians are some of the most hateful and conniving people I have ever come across. My grandparents were kicked out of a church they went to for 25 years, just because the church found out that I was gay. They claimed that by ME being gay that my grandparents were in support of a corrupt lifestyle.

First of all, I am 20 fucking years old. Secondly, what I do and what my grandparents do are totally different things. You would think that they would want to support my grandparents even more, if they believed what I do with my life is so sinful, but instead they shunned them away.

If that isn’t betrayal, I don’t know what is. Years and years of going to church with the same people and then kicked out for what your grandson does.

Also, for those hundreds of you who say I am being hypocrticial for posting the picture; saying that I am spreading hate- I am simply sticking up for myself. This is my response to everyone who has ever told me I am going to hell because of that book. I HATE the fact that millions of gay people are being told they are going to hell because of that book. I am PISSED that millions of gay peoples lives are ALREADY HELL because of that book.

The picture is for every Christian who has ever threatened to kill me- The picture is for every gay person who has ever been told they are going to hell.

THAT’S what the picture is for.

You Christians have more hate in your heart than you know what to do with. You can’t handle a liberal like me expressing my rights. It doesn’t piss you of that I am ripping up a bible about some God you believe in- It pisses you off that I know my rights.. It pisses you off that I don’t feel oppressed by you.

AND I’M GLAD IT PISSES YOU OFF.

Eventually everyone is going to wake up and see this world as it really is..

The world would be a much more peaceful place without religion. The goal of religion isn’t to spread peace or positivity- it’s to spread elitism and hate. I can almost guarantee the death-threats I will get are 99.9% going to be/have been from Christians who think killing gay people is the only way… well, forgive me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t it say in the Bible that taking someones life is a no-no?

Thank you for your time, Dear sweet Christians of this world.. I hope that you will all start practice what you preach, instead of threatening to kill people.

Sincerely not sorry,
Chris Crocker

DRACULA LIVES

 Would you know “Count” Dracula today if you saw him?

“Welcome to my house! Enter freely. Go safely, and leave something of the happiness you bring! … I am Dracula; and I bid you welcome”

Dracula (his first name is known by many, but never given in literature) is believed to be a centuries-old vampire, sorcerer and Osterreichen nobleman, who claims to be an Aessi descended from Attila the Hun. He inhabits a decaying castle in the Otztal Alps of the Tirol Mountains near the Kitzbuhel Pass. Contrary to the vampires of Eastern European folklore which are portrayed as repulsive, corpse-like creatures, Dracula exudes a veneer of aristocratic charm which masks his unfathomable evil.

Although he usually dons a mask of cordiality to deceive others, Dracula often flies into fits of rage when his plans are interfered with. Though he is capable of forming romantic ties, he freely admits that they are temporary.

Dracula is very passionate about his warrior heritage, emotionally proclaiming his pride on how the Aessi clan are infused with the blood of multiple heroes. He does express an interest in the history of the British Empire, speaking admirably of its people. He has a somewhat primal and predatory world view; he pities ordinary humans for their revulsion to their darker impulses.

Though usually portrayed as having a strong Germanic or Eastern European accent, most literature correctly specifies that his spoken English is excellent, though strangely toned.

Dracula possesses numerous different “supernatural” abilities inherent in vampirism, along with additional skills derived from his abilities as a sorcerer, making him far more powerful than the creatures of traditional folklore. He has enormous physical strength which, according to some, is equivalent to 20 men. Being undead, he is immune to conventional means of attack. The only ways to definitely kill him are decapitation, shooting him with a sacred bullet and stabbing through the heart with a wooden stake taken from a tree bearing his carved initials. Dracula can defy gravity to a certain extent, being able to climb upside down vertical surfaces in a lizard-like manner. He is a skilled hypnotist, who is also able to command the loyalty of nocturnal animals such as dogs and wolves. Dracula can also manipulate the weather, usually creating mists to hide his presence, but also freezing temperatures, such as in his voyage in the maiden voyage of HMS Titanic. He can shapeshift at will, his featured forms known to include that of a wolf, dog, bat, ice forms and fog. He requires no sleep and no other sustenance but fresh blood, which has the effect of rejuvenating him. Without it, he physically ages at an accelerated rate.

Dracula’s powers are not unlimited though. He is much less powerful in daylight, though the sun is not fatal to him, as is incorrectly believed. Additionally, he is  not repulsed by such things as garlic and crucifixes, and he can cross running water, but only at low or high tide. It is true, however, he is unable to enter a place unless invited to do so; once invited, however, he can approach and leave the premises at will.

“We Aessi’s have a right to be proud, for in our veins flows the blood of many brave races who fought as the lion fights, for lordship.”

Be Somebody

WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

If you’re living in the United States, are connected to the Internet, and do not have a MySpace, Facebook, or other social networking account, you are in a rapidly dwindling minority. Consider this. The official US population as of July is just over 301 million, and the following table indicates 182 million unique users logged on to one of these hang-outs this past September, up 5% from a year ago.

The data above includes all users, be they goofing at work, avoiding TV at home, or finding excuses to do anything but study at school. The big Internet marketing research company, comScore, of Reston, Virgina stands by these statistics, however, it should be noted some of their sampling and modeling techniques have raised eyebrows. This is a bunch of traffic to monitor, and short of having a direct tie to every on-line computer, total accuracy is impossible, regardless of comScore’s claims. Still, big businesses pay big bucks for this type of data, so like hand grenades, this is close enough.

There is no big surprise that MySpace maintains the #1 spot, but Facebook is gaining ground – quickly. The list also includes blog sites because, well, argue if you wish, but they really do serve a social networking function more so than anything else. Again, no surprise, Google’s Blogger  is tops, but WordPress, our gracious and great host, who did not make the list last year has jumped over the shoulders of some perennial heavy’s.

Noticeably absent from this list, is Orkut, the Google owned and operated social site, with 67 million users worldwide, and highly popular in South America. The once “by invitation only,” Orkut only has about a half a million users in the US, and from the looks of it, mostly in Southern California. But, we like Orkut, and have been members since they came to be way back in 2004. Despite criticism and problems with foreign governments, Orkut is growing and has added a number a features and safety valves not found on the likes of MySpace. Unquestionably, if Google wants it, they have the resources to dominate the Social Networking scene, and I would never bet against this happening – sooner than later.

If you haven’t done so, what is the problem? Add me, heY!

Chris Crocker Checks In

OR…LETTERS FROM HOME

So, what’s Britney Spears’ biggest fan and YouTube and late-nite staple Chris Crocker been up to lately? Besides looking more fabulous than than his “idol,” it’s been a while since we’ve seen him bawling to, “Leave Britney Alone!” and what was looking like his big break into Hollywood was, for now, just that famous “fifteen minute” thing. Chris gave us “The Whole Truth” earlier, and now follows-up with a bit more, um, Crocker:

“HAS HOLLYWOOD CHANGED ME?” (Explicit Language Follows)

“Hello everybody..

Warning: This is long, pointless, and sexy.. I typed this on a toilet in a public restroom, so typos may ensue.
I asked myself if Hollywood has changed me; Then I asked myself if Hollywood changed my fans.

There is a difference in “fans”. (I use that term lightly, but hey, people call themselves fans, so therefore they are fans.) Some people call themselves fans and are happy for me and for what’s to come. Some people call themselves fans are constantly say how much they’re disgusted with how I don’t post new videos, how I’ve quote-unquote ~**~changed~**~

How can you say I’ve changed if I haven’t posted anything new? How can you say I’ve changed if you aren’t my baby’s mamma?

Speaking of changes, do me a favor and change the motherfucking channel! If you’re one of those people who constantly comment my page saying how I’ve changed and how over me you are- exercise your right as an American and fuck off already!

Everyone is asking why I haven’t been posting videos, and all I have to say is why haven’t you been watching TV? I’m not forgetting where I came from, but don’t try to hold me back and then call yourself a fan. You’re not my motherfucking fan if you want to hold me back and post Youtube videos all the time.

I am grateful and appreciative for and to the people that have been rooting me on since day one, and I love and appreciate Myspace and Youtube and what it’s brought me.. but I am not going to feel obligated or chained to my computer.

People that want to hold you back are not loved ones.. and in my case- are not fans.

Everyone have a grand ole week, and buy the new Britney CD on the 30th!

Kisses and Cumshots,
Chris Crocker

IN TRENDS

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD…erhum ~

Everybody is looking for somebody, or something, but is often confused as to just where to find it. We will help. You are about enter the Labs of Anemic Science, and I, Doktor Anemi, having the credentials of wealth and taste, will be your guide.

We have assembled what is on the minds of every humanoid on the planet, as presented below, and through the assistance of “Google Trends,” we know where to go to find left-brainers like ourselves. Our chart shows the popularity of these terms searched, from the beginning of 2004 to now, or, how often a particular search term is entered relative the total search volume across various regions of the world.

To ease the scientific jargon, for example, if you are thinking about Gay Sex, book a trip to Chile, and leave France to the French. Conversely, if you are sick of Britney Spears, Belgium is your destination of choice, and of course, if you are a groupie of me me meh; Doktor Anemi, the right-brained peeps are over in Turkey, heY! (Sounds about right!)

A word of disclaimer – If you get to Pakistan, and find that animal sex is no longer de rigueur, know that trends are fickle, but the door is wide open to welcome your fifteen minutes of fame. While there, why not set the pace! The world is truly your oyster, although I forgot to include that fetish on the list.

Austrian Men Rank

THE SURVEY SAYS…

Paris Hilton comes to Austria

Austrian men and New Zealand women have the most sexual partners in the world, according to a a global sex survey reported on Saturday.

The Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global survey, which questioned 26,000 people in 26 countries, found that Austrians topped the male list with 29.3 sexual partners, more than twice the global average of 13.2. Conversely, the New Zealand women have an average of 20.4 sexual partners, well above the global average of 7.3, according to the survey by condom-maker Durex.

New Zealand was the only country where women were more promiscuous than their men, who averaged 16.8 sexual partners, as stated in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, reporting the survey.

The survey also showed that Austrians were the youngest to lose their virginity at an average of 17.3 years, followed by Brazilians (17.4), Germans (17.6) and New Zealanders (17.8).

Busy and excited about the new town, trying to meet all the new faces, I did not have an opportunity to participate in the survey.

van Gogh’s Fault

D I S T R A C T I O N S

I’m sure it happens to everybody, and tonight I am without exception. You know how it goes. You start a project having a pretty good mental outline, and with a little past experience, a reasonable idea as to an estimated time of completion. Then it hits – distraction, and this then, is my story, or excuse.

While studying the life and work of Vincent van Gogh, not only have I come to realize just what it is that troubles Hollywood stars to the point of destruction, but in so doing, I have solved one of the art world’s greatest mysteries. Yes, while on my way to find out this about that, as it were, I now know the disposition of the once, now second highest valued painting in the world; Van Gogh’s portrait of his mediocre physician, Dr. Paul Ferdinand Gachet. This, of course, is the masterpiece that fetched $82.5 million dollars from Japanese industrialist Ryoei Saito in 1990, following the three minute auction at Christies. As the story goes, following the record purchase, the painting was whisked to the home of it’s new owner in Tokyo, and has yet to surface.

Over the years, rumor has supplanted the work in significance, and even after denying the boast of the now late Saito, many believe the painting was cremated along with the remains of “The Wild One;” Saito himself. This, of course, has never been founded, and I, together with the now owner shall divulge the location of Dr, Gachet, and end the mystery shortly.

Being logged-in to your social networking site while trying to get some serious work done, is just not a good idea. In my case, it’s primarily MySpace, and while certainly not not a waste of time, it can be a huge distraction. Take, for example, the fellow pictured above. Would you add this guy to your list of “friends?” I mean, he’s got the right picture-look, what with the self-portrait by digital camera in the bathroom mirror thing, so, based on this criteria alone, he’s certainly friend material. And, major bonus, he’s one of those ideal friends you add that will never be heard from, but likewise, cannot be blamed for unnecessary distraction. Of this, I am certain, as you see, the dood above is actually Vincent van Gogh himself, having died 117 years ago, will likely not be doing any texting, lol!

In explaining the picture, the head is indeed authentic Vincent, and the balance of the body, clothes, and camera, will be recognized by one of my friends some day, or we shall see. That is, the owner will need to read this post and confirm via MySpace comment or otherwise, and the wait may prove interesting. I am not, nor would I encourage you to hold your breath for a quick revelation as to this identity.

Anyhow, Vincent’s head has not been otherwise “Photo Shopped,” or re-touched by me, other than to lop it off and place it on my umwitting friend’s body. Nobody knows who the photographer was (presumed long deceased), but the pic reveals van Gogh’s looking reasonably healthy, unlike the last two or three years of his life, so, I’d say the pic was snapped probably circa 1885 at the latest, when Vincent would have been 32 years old. I think it’s pretty amazing, I mean, he looks very much like any other ordinary Vincent van Gogh you might chance to be-friend, don’t you think?

Of course, van Gogh’s reign of fame was only the last ten years of his life, and I guess all agree, his best work came closer to the end. In fact, the pricey portrait of the attending physician, Dr. Gachet himself, was among the last subjects. Unquestionably, booze, primarily absinthe, and a habit of chain-smoking cigarettes, hastened Vincent’s demise, and there really should be no argument about that.

Still-life with absinthe ~ 1887, and skull with cigarette ~ 1888. Click each to enlarge.

I think van Gogh would have been very comfortable with MySpace. I have not encountered another artist with as many “self-pics,” and thus far, I am up to twenty-eight, which rivals even the best of the narcissistic bathroom photogs. Here, yes, I did de-face the portrait with the Mickey Mouse band-aid – another distraction, sorry!

Van Gogh cut off the lobe of his left ear during some sort of seizure on 24 December, 1888. Mental problems afflicted him, particularly in the last few years of his life. During some of these periods he did not paint, or was not allowed to. There has been much debate over the years as to the source of Van Gogh’s mental illness and its effect on his work. Over 150 psychiatrists have attempted to label his illness, and some 30 different diagnoses have been suggested.

Doesn’t the preceeding sound all too Anna Nicole, Britney Spears, Marilyn Monroe, ad nausum Hollywood? The similarities to me are text book. There just doesn’t seem to be much difference in van Gogh’s quick rise to stardom, bouts with alcohol and other bad habits, resulting in bumps along the way, leading to an untimely conclusion. Then, there are the experts, the doctors, all with a different opinion and diagnosis of the “condition” leading to the conclusion. Obviously, I am not a doctor, yet I do not watch much in the way of TV either, so what do I know? It’s just that the ending seems so forgone and obvious, I too must be missing something.

Oh, well, so much for today’s distraction, I see I have friend requests in my in-box to check out, heY!

“Ehrum, but, just what is it that you are selling here? Hand lotion? Shaving cream?”

Actually, it’s supposed to be an ad for Tom Ford’s first fragrance for men. Hmm, available in a choice of two scents, I suppose. I’ll get it.

consumer warning: “for external use only?”

In offering views on nudity and/or advertising, Tom affords; “But there’s a double standard with featuring female nudity and featuring male nudity,” Ford adds. “When people say to me, ‘Well, you objectify women,’ [I say] I’m an equal opportunity objectifier. We had a lot of magazines reject the female version [of the campaign], so the male version is going to get rejected even more.”

Ah, the sweet smell of…rejection!
