"The Perturbation of Palin"

I was emailed this week with a plan to annoy Governor Palin. This is a copy of it.

Dear Friends:

We may have thought we wanted a woman on a national political ticket, but the joke has really been on us, hasn't it?

Are you as disgusted as I am at the thought of Sarah Palin as Vice President of the United States? None of you, however, can be happy with Palin's selection, especially on her positions on women's issues. So, in response to this may I suggest a fiendishly novel idea?

Make a donation (of any size...) to Planned Parenthood......in Sarah Palin's name.

And here's the good part: when you make any donation to PP in her name, they'll send her a card telling her that the donation has been made in her honor. Here's the link to the Planned Parenthood website:

http://www.plannedparenthood.org

go to donate, then honorary gifts. You'll need to fill in the address to let PP know where to send the "in Sarah Palin's honor" card. I suggest you use the address for the McCain campaign headquarters, which is:

McCain for President
1235 S. Clark Street
1st Floor
Arlington, VA 22202

Feel free to send this along urging others to do the same.

Ben Lerman at BabyHole on Tuesday

Claudia captured Ben Lerman on her cell phone at the BabyHole Awards last Tuesday. This is it. Notice how our new venue, The Lamp Post, is so shitty. At the next show, I will have a petition for Jersey City to allow me to have an entertainment license in a 10-foot radius where ever I go.

In this video, Ben is covering "Can I Smell Yo' Dick?" He's a really great musical comedian. Go to his website. www.benlerman.net.

Stupid Pride video

So I restored the project and got the video back, but now I have to redo all the audio work I did today. It is so annoying that I would rather be blogging than working on the stupid video.

My Pride video

I shot video at the JC Pride festival as part of my Jersey City travelogue series. I was almost done with it. I was just fixing up all the audio and color corrections and planned on putting it online later on today or tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, somehow, an entire video track got deleted. So now I have to redo all those clips and fancy transitions and dick shots. It's going to be a few hours of work, at least, really annoying, tedious work, and I already have a headache from it. Thanks, God.

The Alaskan rally against Palin

This is a video of the Alaska Women against Sarah Palin rally. I think every women in Alaska was there. There's only like 100, right? Well, the figure for this rally is 2,000 people, the largest in Alaska's history.

Some stupid radio host, who called them "baby killing socialist maggots," broadcast the names and home phone numbers of the organizers on their show. Then the organizers got harassed and threatened. What is wrong with people?

BabyHole Awards

Last night's awards ceremony was lots of fun. Thanks to all the five people who came. Here are the results:

BABYHOLE AWARDS
Bright Lights Big City: Matt Kelly
Most Racist: Hugh Eric Shin
Most Latino: Ralph Santiago
Ms. BabyHole: Emily Faith
Mr. BabyHole: Ralph Santiago
Busy BabyHole Bee: Ralph Santiago
Creepiest Stand Up: Ralph Santiago
Best Abandoner: Emily Faith
Best Attendance: Rojo (Ralph Santiago won too many awards)

Also honored was:

Ben Lerman, for being the first BabyHole featured performer ever.
The Poconos, for being the first real band BabyHole had.
The House of Leaves, for performing the most BabyHoles out of every band.

I made the BabyHole Awards out of baby figurines, canned food, gold spray paint and hot glue. They were very cute. All of the fingers on my left hand are still gold from the paint.

GOLDEN NIPPLE RECIPIENTS
Norm Francouer (for lighting)
Max Michaels (for his outstanding performance at BabyHole VS Poetic Voices)
Joe Condiracci (for being a bartender and setting up the PA for us)
Ralph Santiago (I don't remember why I gave him one)

Golden Nipples were given out to people who do good jobs and nice things for BabyHole.

The crowd was small but the enjoyment was large. In fact, it was one of the smallest crowds in BabyHole history. Most of the people who were nominated didn't show up. They missed out. It was a lot of fun. Ben Lerman even did an encore. He's the best musical comedian ever, I think.

Would any Canadians like to get married?

So, if McCain/Palin win the election in November, I am going to move to Canada.

Sara Palin is like a soap opera villain, and it's like the election is a daytime soap opera (but not one of the good ones, like Passions or Dark Shadows, more of a boring one). There are too many reasons to enumerate on for the metaphor. I'll update it later, but in the meantime, would any Canadians like to get married?

My boyfriend said that if I get married, he'll break up with me. He says that Canada's too cold. He should get a jacket.
