I monitor the ironically named American Family Association via their hate mail which more often than naught is just garbage. OK, it's always garbage. Sometimes it's interesting garbage and since I've written diaries in the past regarding Ford and the AFA, I thought I should write one today updating what's been going on since Don Wildmon boycotted Ford.

Ford has been performing dismally. Each quarter seems worse than the last. They soon may sell fewer cars than Toyota in the United States. Their recovery plan is not currently meeting its goals.

The AFA has taken all the credit.

Five and a half years ago tomorrow, Osama bin Laden organized and financed an attack on the United States of America that killed three thousand people.

Today, Osama bin Laden turned 50.

Today also marks the 2,000th day since George W, Bush promised that we would get Osama bin Laden dead or alive.

The NOAA has posted an article about the Lightning threat.

LIGHTNING CASUALTIES IN THE U.S. CLIMB AS SUMMER CONTINUES

These evil doers can no longer be allowed to slaughter innocent men, women and children in the United States of America!!

Lightning has killed at least 27 people this year, with more than half of those fatalities (14) occurring since July 15. In addition, there were three fatalities during the last half of July where Lightning is the suspected cause of death. This is more than double the number of fatalities seen in recent years for the last half of July.

This threat is imminent and must be addressed immediately!! Our country's safety, well being and way of life are at stake!! We can not stand idly by and watch these electrons of mass destruction destroy the very values that we hold so dear. Just look at where we are being attacked!

In three separate incidents, four of the fatalities this year have involved teenagers playing soccer. Three fatalities were golf-related, two were related to camping and two were people killed while on riding lawn mowers.

I love Rhode Island. I live in New York but make it a point to go visit Rhode Island every couple of months. They have the neatest towns, great beaches and a 52% net dissapproval rating of George W. Bush.

The latest Survey USA results are up. It's time to plan that trip to Providence and spend those vacation dollars in a place that gets it.

While you're there, be sure to give Lincoln Chaffee's Republican primary opponent a little love, some clown named Laffey. If Laffey can convince both Republicans in Rhode Island to vote for him in the Republican Primary, then the Rhode Island senate seat goes back to a Democrat. With a 23% approval rating, Rhode Island is begging to be a pure Blue state once again.

RI - Senate - Chaffee/Laffey

I while ago I wrote a diary about playing dirty. Today I received an invitation from the Laffey campaign letting me know that I'm cordially invited to attend a reception in honor of said wingnut for a donation of $1000.00 per person. The reception will be at The University Club on 1 West 54th Street in Manhattan on July 24th ( 6:00pm for all you paparazzi folks ).

Here's the kicker, the special guest is Steve ( Malcolm Stevenson ) Forbes, Jr. Remember him? He's the freak who grew up in a bubble on a 40 acre ranch in New Jersey who thought he could be elected King.

I know the neighborhood where this shindig is going to take place. It's right near a Gay Bath House. It should make for an interesting evening at the tubs.

This is precious.

Last year the Ford Motor Company decided that caving in to hate groups like the American Family Association was bad business. Donald Wildmon, leader of the AFA hate group is continuing his letter writing campaign to pressure Ford into submitting to his ( small "h" ) will.

I modified this a bit:

Call your local dealer - Please call your local dealer and tell him you are NOT participating in the Ford boycott. To find your dealer, click here. Please be polite. Please do not argue or debate. Here is a suggested message for you. "I want you to know that I am NOT participating in the boycott of Ford Motor Company that is currently being promoted as the cause du jour by hate groups like the American Family Association. I ask that you pass along to Ford Motor Company Chairman Bill Ford my support regarding Ford's support for diversity, including financial contributions to groups promoting marriage equality. I'm asking that Ford remain vigilant against hate groups. Thank you for listening to my concern."

This one will be brief. I just received my American Family Association action alert requesting that I take a poll ( not a pole you dirty minded reprobates!! [although that gives me some ideas for later, hmmm]). It seems that somewhere in the country, the powers that be want to change the letters AD, as in April 18th 2006 AD to CE and this bugs them.

Anything that bugs them has to be good so I would request that we get a bunch of Kossaks to freep this poll. It requires that you give your name, email and zip. I do it just to keep an eye on the hate mongers over in Tupelo. In case you thought they might be rational, I'll cut and paste a list of accomplishments that they claim to have achieved below the fold. Read More

Iraqis today celebrated "Freedom Day", the three year anniversary of their liberation from Saddam Hussein's rule by attacking US soldiers and ramping up their civil war. As Donald Rumsfeld once said of the Iraqis, "... free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things" Read More

Wake Up White People!!

I received this darling little email from the American Family Association ( below the fold ) that invites recipients thereof to tell the Ford Motor Company exactly what they think. The subject once again is Marriage Equality.

I suggest that we all do just that. When you click the link, you'll be taken to the AFA website where you can compose an email message. You can delete any part or all of their suggested message and replace it with your own.

I did something that hurt. I donated $10. It's not the $10 that hurt, I can afford it. It's who I gave it to that is making me wretch inside. I gave it to Stephen Laffey, the wingnut whacko running against Lincoln Chaffee in the Republican primary for US Senate.

I don't think Lincoln Chaffee is a bad guy but his re-election is not going to get us subpoena power in '07. His poll numbers are down but he's still strong. His opponent, Stephen Laffey is downright weak vs. either Democrat. In order to have an easy pick-up in the Senate, we first have to get rid of the incumbant, Lincoln Chaffee.

I was travelling this weekend and listening to the local radio news station, WCBS 880, for the traffic and weather together and heard a curious report.

Apparently a woman in Connecticut was pulled over for setting off a radiation alarm. The radiation in her system was the result of an injection that she received during a stress test at a Doctor's office. It sounded funny at the very end of the report when the woman was quoted as expressing thanks for the knowledge that our roads are being monitored for terrorists with nukes.

The propaganda alarm went off in my head so I promised myself to look up the story when I got home. I found it on line in the Hartford Courant written by a staff reporter named Tracy Gordon Fox. Apparently Tracy Gordon Fox is the police blotter reporter for the Courant. I saw some items about a series on ~~Heroine~~ Heroin addiction that caused a stir but nothing remarkable beyond that.

If Pat Robertson can blame God for smiting Ariel Sharon, then perhaps the invisible man who lives in a cloud should take the blame for other things as well.

Here's a story from the Associated Press that with a little tweaking, can fit nicely into Pat's worldview Read More
