It's The Hypocrisy, Stupid!

GOTCHA!

Hmmmmmmmmm ... I'm not sure about this. Maybe he was just doing "research", or a "term paper"?

Excerpts from the St. Petersburg Times and Channel 10 News (August 5, 2005):
The Principal of Santa Fe Catholic High School, Brother Anthony Iazzetti was arrested after soliciting two male detectives to perform a "lewd act on each other".

ACCORDING TO THEIR MISSION STATEMENT:
"Santa Fe Catholic High School, a ministry of the Catholic Diocese of Orlando, Florida offers a program of college preparatory studies encompassing values grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
"Through academics, spiritual, athletic, artistic, extracurricular and service programs, the school endeavors to help each student develop fully as a child of God."

It seems Brother Iazzetti was focusing on the several aspects of the above programs when he was "BUSTED"!

And Another Hypocrite!

Another country heard from!

If you've read some of my previous postings, listen to the news or check out your local newspapers, you've probably read about the Hillsborough County Commission and Ronda Storms, the anti gay antagonist.

This all started because THREE patrons complained about a Gay Pride display at West Gate Regional Library. The Gay pride display was removed and the books relocated to another part of the library.
Newspaper stories about this got the Hillsborough County Commissioners all fired up and Ronda Storms got her panties in a knot . In June 2005, the board voted to ban any county entity from so much as acknowledging Gay Pride.

The director of the Hillsborough County library system is Joe Stines, who (you guessed it) just happens to be GAY and has been with his partner for 25 years. But Joe Stines states that he is "conservative in many ways," not one to "carry banners or attend Gay Pride events." (Joe Stines needs his ass spanked too!)

"Did Joe Stines have an obligation to respond in a certain way because he is GAY?
Me, here's what I would have liked: to see Joe Stines the librarian face off with the commission instead of being practical.

I get worried when people like Commissioner Ronda Storms, who seems to think voluntary sterilization for child abusers and eliminating funding for a Planned Parenthood teen educational pregram are important county issues, want to start mucking around with my library.

I would have liked to have heard Stines talk to them about a library for everyone. He's been around so long, the board must like him. Maybe they would have listened."

Hot and Humid!

The weather has been just great this week in Florida. Just the type of weather that makes me want to put on the purple satin T-back and walk along the water on beautiful Clearwater Beach!

Lies, Lies, Lies... All lies!

First of all, the weather sucks; it's so hot and humid the average person can hardly breathe; much less my two PUG dogs.
Secondly, I hate to think of how long ago my ass was tight enough to wear a T-back. I'm at the point now where I won't stand in front of a full length mirror unless I'm fully clothed!

It's been another 6 day work week, and this might continue for another few weeks, or until we're caught up here. I really don't mind at the moment. It's too damned hot to do anything outside and the money is good. Gotta love that overtime!

Tonite, I hope to meet Tim and Vinny at the Pro Shop Pub tonite. I deserve a cocktail or two, maybe even three! And who know, I might just get LUCKY!

Just When I Thought Things Couldn't Get Worse!

In Lakeland, Florida a Gay couple came home Monday to find their mobile home torched and an anti-gay message (die fag) spray painted on the front steps.

The case is being investigated as arson and burglary but the Lakeland fire department would not comment on whether a hate crime charge might develop

(am I understanding this correctly? A torched home + Die fag = in my humble opinion, a HATE CRIME!).

The law defines such a crime as one in which the victim is intentionally picked based on race, color, religion, ethnicity, ancestry, national origin, sexual orientation, advanced age or mental or physical disability. disaThere is no separate criminal charge for hate crimes -- it is an enhancement of a charge, said Chip Thullbery of the State Attorney's Office in Polk County.

The state attorney general's latest annual report on hate crimes for 2003 shows a clear increase in reported incidents motivated by the victim's sexual orientation.

Attorney General Charlie Crist has said that the number of such incidents statewide accounted for 20 percent of all hate crimes in 2003, the highest proportion for this category ever recorded in Florida.
