Wait, what? It finally happened? “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” is officially over today and is now and forever just one of America’s most cherished, tender Clinton-era memories (right up there with the Monica Lewinsky scandal and Robert Rubin’s banking deregulation spree). Yep, today! Started at midnight! You’d have hardly noticed — where is the screaming? The tantrums? The teeth-gnashing and gay panic from Republicans hollering in whiny, pitched voices? That is usually the only way we find out about these “gays in the military” things, when the Republicans make a fuss, because this entire issue of the DADT repeal is uncontroversial to the nearly 8 in 10 Americans who support the repeal, and it has been that way for a while. Still — no tortured, righteous comments about “distraction” from Lindsey Graham’s Twitter, even?
Nope. Nothing on RedState, nothing on National Review, nothing from any of the GOP presidential candidates. Even “gay panic” bellwether comedy site FoxNews.com just ran this boring old column by an actual accredited psychologist explaining why it is not a big deal. Enjoy the brief silence, communists/ we will mourn, for comedy.
SO THE GAYS WIN TODAY! Good. Here’s a nice block quote from the AP story:
Gay advocacy groups planned a series of celebrations across the country.
At a San Diego bar, current and former troops danced and counted down to midnight. “You are all heroes,” Sean Sala, a former Navy operations specialist, said. “The days of your faces being blacked out on the news — no more.”
The head of Pentagon personnel put out a memo to the work force at 12:01 a.m. EDT (0501 GMT). “All service members are to treat one another with dignity and respect regardless of sexual orientation,” the memo from Clifford Stanley said.
What a novel idea! Anyway, hooray! [AP]

I knew today was going to be faaaaaabulous!!
Not for John McCain. He's been trying and failing to have a bowel movement all day.
GRRRRRRRRR!!!
//bearing down…
HENNNNGGGHHH?
No shit!
That's what *he* said!
I never could tell…
I never did ask.
If you have to ask…
You probably don't need to know…
I could tell, but I didn't have anyone to tell.
You can tell us all, now.
Hooray! I have friends!
There was this one time, I wish I had asked.
At band camp?
Boot Camp. grin
No, you never can tell (I'm guessing you were making a Shaw reference there).
“All service members are to treat one another with dignity and respect regardless of sexual orientation."
A novel innovation.
Yet some people still find it controversial. Those people are called Christians.
And to think, forced-closet status in the military stems back only to 1993!
Somehow DADT has morphed in our collective consciousness into a horrible, gay-suppressing thing that Bill Clinton cooked up. At the time it was as liberal a policy as he was able to implement, and was considered a major step forward by the libtards and the End of Civilization by the wingtards.
That's socialist talk!
So, basic training is going to have to change, huh?
Hee Hee. "Unit cohesion".
In your face, John McCain.
..as it were..
DO NOT WANT. At all. Ever. Also.
Speak for yourself. Miss Lindsay does very much want.
Lindsey's delicate lady parts?
he has "little lady testi-clees'
That's what he said.
That you, Marcus?
And there was an openly gay dude on Jeopardy last night.
They're just ramming this down our throats, you know.
Who are 'the gays?'
Isn't that "Who are 'the gays', Alex?"
smart and queer? That is practically unAmerican dude.
Next you'll be telling me he eats healthy?!?!?!?!?!
And works out.
If it helps, he took a dive on final Jeopardy. The closeted guy was the only contestant to get it right.
Alex Trebek is gay? Who knew?
Answer in the form of a question. Well done.
and shoving it up our asses!
God, we're getting it from both ends, aren't we?
That's what she said.
I was always afraid to ask.
As I always said when I was active duty, you never really had to ask, because you could usually tell.
The US military has some of the world's most sophisticated radar, so I always kind of figured it had some of the world's most sophisticated gaydar, too, also.
Hey, it's not gay if you're underway! Anchors Aweigh!
I was always afraid to tell.
And once again, if I haven't already recommended it a bazillion times '– Handsome Harry is one of the best films I've seen of late, please do yourself a favour and watch it.
All Quiet on the Wingnut Front
Heads already ass-ploded.
They are just waiting for the first thing to go wrong – an openly gay soldier steals a car or whatever, so they leap to life with their collective "SEE! SEE!!! WE TOLLJASO!!!"
All those Bold and Courageous Independent Thinkers are quietly waiting for Rush to tell them what to think….
Shhhhh..Now that there's no tellin', hateful wingtards are plotting which young service member they're going to service with their members.
Shhhhh..Now that there's no tellin', hateful wingtards are plotting which young service member they're going to service with their members.
Thus Sen. Graham's silence?
Lindsey remains hopeful.
This is great news for Andy Breitbart, amirite?
Oh, how he would be
whipping out his guntaking up arms against you if it wasn't for the hangover!Except being fat, alcoholic and a junkie makes you 4-F. Even in today's Army.
Not many fat boys in the Army anymore, not even Sgt-Bilko beefy. They're serious about fitness and have been for 20 years or so. They use calipers to measure body fat and eject the unworthy. Their obsession with fitness and buffitude has a certain, uh…gay quality about it, come to think of it.
He's ready for ♪♫Fleet Week!♫♪
Lindsey? More like Fleet Enema Week.
this will partially ease the disappointment of GLee getting shut out at the Emmys.
Today's Good News: DADT rescinded!
Bad News: One of the last rock stations in DC (105.9) shut its doors and now feeds the WMAL "Stalk Radio" butt vomit.
Sigh. I haz enough oldz to remember the days of WMAL's Frank Harden and Jackson Weaver, two funny guys in the morning.
The Joy Boys of Radio chasing electrons to and fro. And Willard.
Willard Scott and Ed Walker! They would make fun of their own advertisers' commercials.
As Dr. Venkman once said, "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!"
Napkins and paper towels getting misidentified… It's against natural law.
Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Drama queens, all of them.
There's probably hysteria in Vermont as well.
No snark here…
Congratulations to the entire ghey community and the human race. As I told the children, hang tough and never give up.
And truth be told, to get the rep for being tough, you have had to smack someone hard at least once in your life.
Stonewall comes to mind…
Thanks, baby. Today is definitely Teh Celebraytz Day!
And yeah, us faggots/dykes will kick your fucking asses flatter'n a pancake if you try sticking us back in the closet, Repuglycunts.
We libtard progressive union card carrying thug types got your back, baby.
Thanks, brah!
The Construction Worker kinda looks like a young Andrew Breitbart.
Per Brietfart, you are hastening the civil war.
Cannot come fast enough, if it means cockpunching Breitbart.
Nutpunching is also allowed.
Andrew Breitbart was born with a saggy ass and a gut. He couldn't have been in the Village People.
oh! is andy breitbart gay?
Too buff. NotSoBrightBart has always been a flabby little mama's boy.
Breitbart can't even construct a proper paragraph, let alone an actual building.
Allen West can finally stop living a lie
…or at least one of them.
With all the ranting, raving, and moralizing Allen West does, you KNOW there are some massively kinky things in his closet.
I can't wait for the sex DVD to surface. Rubber chickens, pooping squirrels, whatever. Bring IT ON.
Pooping squirrels LMAO.
Was Herm (Aphrodite) Cain ever in the military?
According to everything I can find, he has never served.
Now, neither has President Barack Obama. However, the difference should be instantly apparent. When Cain was of age to serve, there was a draft, in which most young men were caught up. Those who didn't serve back then were essentially telling every other young man drafted, "Tough shit, y'all gotta do it plus my share." When our President was of age to serve, the draft had ended, and we had a "volunteer military."
He can finally come out of the walk-in closet andstop pretending to be a white man!
I'd make some off color bigoted snark but none of mine would be as good as these ones in Faux-Noose's comments section.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/09/20/repeal...
Enjoy.
These people make me want to hit them with something large and heavy, repeatedly. Particularly the one who thinks there is a new super AIDs (wish projection, much?) and that the gheys should be rounded up in camps. They always end up with camps as a solution.
But they love America.
It's Americans they hate. Also, Africans, Asians, Europeans, South Americans, the culludz in general, wildlife, hippies, educated people, teh Ghey, and anything else you can think of that isn't fat, white, and truly stupid.
"Those American Indians should just go back to India!"
Why do you think Michele is so hot on FEMA camps? It's difficult enough to keep Marcus from straying, now…
I've ceased being either amazed or depressed by these morons, but more because I know that one day they will either a) be caught shtupping a 10-year-old boy, b) contract an unsightly bacterial infection that corrodes their balls, or c) end up face-first in their Anusburger Fried Fiesta Meal after suffering a massive coronary. That's my happy place.

Why do they fucking HATE us so much? What has any of us ever done to them?
Well, there was that time when Larry Craig was tap dancing in a stall like a fucking ballerina with her feet on fire and still NO ONE would let him suck their dick….
B! I think B…
Thank you. You have just made me significantly happier.
Nothing enjoyable about that sewer, baconz.. I fell into the trap, too, actually exchanging insults with those eejits before coming to my senses.
Not to be stupid, but where are the comments on the page? Can't find teh ting for teh clicky.
As often happens with some of these more "controversial" topics, the FOX NOOZ commenters will go too far, rhetorically, too far for FOX even, and the comments section will have to get shut down. I couldn't find it either.
As someone who is an expert on the gayez, he could've been a little more thoughtful in picking out the title of his book…
Fran helped him, and that voice made him crazy.
He could have titled it "Homosexuality: A Look Back".
Some would say he was thoughtful….
I need to ask the colonel if he has anything he wants to "share" with the rest of us today.
He's not gonna fire your ass for that shit, is he? Because you're the only one of us here that seems to be, you know, employed, as opposed to Schtoontz (you know, schtoontz, who go to schkoolz and all) and Retired Poorz.
No, government employee, job is safe; I'd have to rape one of the crippled ladies from over in Finance on his desk right in front of him (or say "penis" in front of her) in order to get fired. He can hate me though. He hated me when I worked for him in the Iraq/Afghanistan program, too, so I've got plenty of experience being hated by him. Gung ho military guys usually hate me, it's one of the hazards of being a long-haired liberal DoD employee working with active duty types here in the belly of the Beast. But he's retiring next year.
I'm hoping you don't indulge in crippled-lady-raping or penis-saying until after the fat bastard is gone, mein liberal long-hair!
Oh, no, never. But keep in mind, as has been stated elsewhere on this thread, there are no fat active duty people in the military anymore. Even the colonels and generals are whipsaw-thin, and can run a mile in 6 minutes.
You know any colonels that don't hate civilian underlings? Well, actually, mine doesn't, but I think that's because his civilian director told him not to. He's also AF, whom I've found to be more like actual persons, on average. But as I've said before, colonels are the only rank that have treated me like they outrank me. Gunnery Sergeants are the coolest guys ever, to me at least.
11/20 – NEVAR FORGET!!
What? They forgot?
What were we talking about again?
I forget.
Cool. Now when I say "war is so gay" it will have a double meaning
Nuclear war was already so Enola Gay. For a triple.
Mo' like the Gavy, amirite? Ha ha ha just kidding though hooray for the USA
Isn't our military supposed to somehow crumble now, as the Fox News bigots predicted? And yet I hear no news of that, strange.
This is what I am waiting for. The nuclear death, from all the asking and telling. Surely after all the fighting over it, there will be SOME kind of obvious horribleness, right?
NO? Well, on to wrecking marriages in all 50 states equally!
You sure YOU'RE not gay? Your enthusiasm for the wrecking of (straight) marriage seems downright hearty!
I think the new line is that the military will slowly crumble as all of those homo-hating straights in the armed forces simply don't re-enlist after their current time is up.
And they'll instantly get one of those abundant civilian jobs after retiring from the military.
Xe?
As if they have a choice
lib media bias
Just 'cos you didn't hear it doesn't mean it didn't happen, libunatic.
God is supposed to turn his back on America today, because up til now no nation on Earth has acknowledged homosexual soldiers in any way.
Funny. God usually commemorates that shit by, you know, speaking to us through hurricanes, storms, floods, and earthquakes. It's been remarkably … quiet today.
Perhaps God doesn't hate us homosexuals as much as y'all straight folks think, after all. (Present company excepted, of course.)
Overall, 77 percent of Americans say gays and lesbians who publicly disclose their sexual orientation should be able to serve in the military.
The other 23% just watch gay military porn.
You mean, like, Top Gun?
This will require more tax cuts for the wealthiest.
And elimination of environmental protection regulations on business!
Oh, don't forget putting up Confederate Flags wherever the fuck the fucks want.
When the "don't ask, don't tell" rule for conservative bloggers and Republican legislators is finally repealed, it will be a sad day for humor indeed.
For a certain faction of this country, that the United States was not conquered by the terrorists at 12:02 a.m. comes with the same level of disappointment felt on May 22, 2011, by the followers of that "minister" who predicted the end of the world. These people are called patriots.
But only by each other. The rest of us call them heartless, traitorous bastards.
Typical librul America hater.
Thank you. (bows deeply)
Is it too ironic to tell this policy to go fuck itself?
All right!
I do not care if you're gay, bi, tranny, hermaphrodite, whatever. Bless you, and if you want to join the military (not my cup of tea, but we will always need defense) more power to you!
Now, can we just get the fuck out of Afghanistan, Iraq, wherever else American Imperialism is raising its ugly head?
It's a wonderful day for the gays and for civil rights in general. Someday everyone in the military will be able to exercise the freedoms that they risk their lives for.
Cry Havoc and let fly the Rainbow Flag of War, girlfriend!
Gives new meaning to "glitter bomb."
Gay people can work at Arby's too.
And in show business, too. Times sure have changed.
(BTW: I worked at Arby's. Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
In Texas?
Well, in Dallas, even the fried chicken places are required by law to have at least one flamboyant gay man for "color"….
Wish they were required to have at least one coloured person.
get out of here!
I'm old enough to remember not only being asked when I signed up if I was a homosexual, but also if I was a Communist. No one thought twice about the 8 or 9 Muslim guys in my company, though.
Times change, right? I'm grew up during the Cold War, when Commies were the enemy and Communism the worst thing in the world.
Better dead than Red, and all that nonsense.
In addition to their concern that I might be a homosexual and/or Communist, another great fear was that I had smoked marijuana
Recruiter: So, Baldar, have you ever smoked marijuana?
Young Baldar: Yes, sir.
R: And when was the last time you did that?
YB: Uh, about 20 minutes ago. What's that ribbon for, man? It looks real cool.
My recruiter (1970) used a different tact with the pot thing… it went essentially like:
If you have ever smoked marijuana in the past you are not eligible to enlist in my United States Marine Corps. So I ask, it is true that you have never smoked marijuana, isn't that right?
And now they do.
Don't Allahu, Don't Akbar

Also. Too. Is anyone else fucking sick and tired of absorbing heaps of abuse and scorn from the fucking wingnuts, being called a "cancer" and so forth, for fighting for policy that enriches all of us? Believe it or not, conservatards, there are gay Republican service members. There are middle class Republicans that get sick and die due to health insurance abuse. A "thank you" every once in a while would be appreciated. In lieu of one not being forthcoming; you're fucking welcome, assholes.
I'm on TeaPartyNation.com's mailing list, and their routine slur for the Democratic Party is the party of treason, as in "Guess who the Party of Treason wants to raise taxes on now! Read more at TPN…" and this sort of nonsense ends up in my inbox several times a day.
And I'm like, the Democrats? Really?! If they only knew that in this country there lurked socialist atheist vegetarians who thought the Democrats were but the slightly-less-brutal arm of the oligarchy, they'd be loading their guns in their trucks and declaring open season already.
You must have the blood pressure of a frog to be able to absorb all that nonsense and not break/punch everything in the vicinity.
actually, i'm just fucking sick and tired of fucking wingnuts.
seriously, i've been feeling more and more like following ken into the desert.
Lindsey Graham can't tweet today because his hands are full.
CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES COME ON !!!
This is also why he is speechless today?
And why he can't stand up straight. His closet is such a mess!
Whom of, we won't say, but yeah! Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music!
Dan Choi is re-enlisting. He needs a big gay kiss from all of us for fighting the good fight for so long.
Maybe they'll do something about those absolutely horrid dress uniforms now.
Amen, honey. Olive drab is so last season. Although…
No. And no.

Well, Hugo Boss himself designed the SS uniform….
Can't have 'em looking all "sharp" and shit… then they would never get anything done.
Except for the Marine Corps. Their dress uniforms have inspired many fantasies…

Well, to be fair…
…it is kinda distracting seeing the blood from poor children who die for lack of healthcare come dripping out of their mouths!
The GOP Congressmen are too busy Not Asking and Not Telling themselves right now to Tweet hypocritical outrage over this. If you get my meaning. And I think you do.
Ah bleev so.
Next step: transvestites! In the words of Eddie Izzard:
And they're missing a huge opportunity here, ‘cause we all know one of the main elements of attack is the element of surprise, and so what could be more surprising than the 1st Battalion Transvestite Brigade? Airborne wing! The airborne wing parachuting into dangerous areas with fantastic makeup! And a fantastic gun! And the opposing forces going, "Fucking ‘ell, look at these guys! Look at that! They’ve got guns. They've got guns! Jesus, they've got guns!" Ah, bugger. I was so surprised! Were you surprised? I was surprised.
If you'd ever seen two drag queens in a fistfight you would realize that really isn't a joke. That shit gets hardcore fast.
I am terrified of Drag Queen violence. No snark at all, pent-up rage makes for a vicious opponent. Put that on the front lines and see what happens.
Hedwig and The Angry Inch.
Although, you know, I have many, many trans friends, and they tell me that transfolks are far more likely to be attacked, and even killed, by Teh Straights. Something about the "gay panic defense."

True Story: Old family friend (called me "Pugsly" as a kid; you are of a certain age if you know Pugsly), spent 25 years in the Navy, was on the Cole when it was bombed, just announced he was gay yesterday, like no one noticed he had the same "roommate" for 15 years. Hooray for Truth and Honor-they aren't mutually exclusive!
Several kids I grew up with came out as adults. Oddly enough, their homosexuality was a secret only to and from themselves. The rest of us just seemed to know from fairly early on and it was no big deal. I remember one guy in particular. He drove over to my parents' house to tell them, but was disappointed when they said "Yes, of course you are and we hope you find a nice young man who makes you happy." He was ready for drama but there was none.
Way to spoil a coming-out!
Yeah, it'd have been a lot more dramatic if he'd actually been straight and came by to announce his engagement. Mom may have tried to break the news to him that he's gay.
It's very heartwarming to hear stories like that, especially for me. When my parents found out about my baby brother (the doofus was getting Blue Boy and Advocate mailed to the house, fer crisake, and Mom is a woman who believes that any mail to her address deserves to be read by her), the first thing out of their mouths was, "I hope he gets AIDS and dies." It broke my heart to hear that. And they loved him best of all, as the "baby" of the family. I have one gay sister, one gay brother, and another brother whose straightitude has always been in doubt. I myself proudly identify as bisexual.
It isn't easy for us differentz.
Your poor brother. At least you all had each other for support.
I'm not sure why my family, and most folks in our area, were pretty accepting things. Most of the men in my family are vets, from WW2 to recent, everyone's "ethnic" and less than a few steps off the boat. In my old man's eyes, you sin by not taking care of your family and friends or by being lazy. Something like someone being gay wasn't your business or something to be worked up over. That's just how he or she was made. Shiftless, lazy, or skirting responsibilty is BAD.
My father has always said he loved his children more than anything. For him to have said that was just unbelievable. Sometimes I have a hard time understanding why straight people hate us so much. Sometimes it's our own families, even. I don't get it.
Every one in my family thought my sister was "unbalanced" while we were growing up. She finally married a real nice guy, but she was still not very happy. After her divorce, she met a very nice gal. Bingo, she was incredibly happy right up to her death. I still talk to Gerry, every once in a while, and she is really funny, and still hangs out with my nieces and nephews. Isn't if funny how life turns out when the "experts" are wrong?
Great story. Kudos for staying in touch with Gerry, now that your sister's gone.
Yay for the old friend! Didja give him a hug and a kiss and say, "We've known for years," or what?
Fist bump-he was pulling the top of an engine off his '72 Nova, and was greasy like Newt.
So, more the butch kinda guy. Cool.
Ah, yes. But ask yourself: Was the Cole bombed BECAUSE he was gay, and on it? THINK ABOUT IT!!!
Now just waiting for the entire NFL to finally come out.

Breitbart will have to stop hugging Sailors on Fleet day. He wouldn’t want a simple platonic gesture to be misinterpreted.
Lindsey protests, but inside he's all atwitter! (by 'inside' I mean gay sex parts.)
Are gay sex parts different from straight sex parts? As a person who lives at the intersection, I've always found them remarkably similar. Except for the ting-a-ling-a-ling of that little bell when the same-gender pictures flash, anyway.
This is good news for Rick Perry.
And his huge opening.

“All service members are to treat one another with dignity and respect regardless of sexual orientation,” the memo from Clifford Stanley said. Hmmmm…… Did not say a thing about reach-arounds.
That falls under the "common courtesy" sub-section I believe.
I would certainly hope so!
Leaving that for the "straight" Congresscritters, y'unnerstand.

What is this "occupywallst" you speak of? I saw nothing of this demonstration on the news? Yet, I saw yesterday on all the newses that five teajadists rallied in MO.
Now, the Right is begging Karzai and his Taliban allies to invade us, and undo this satanic perversion.

But, but, but. Between this and the gay people getting married all over the place all our institutions are crumbling and all my certainties are being swept away. Am I becoming gay?

Put some gay porn on the DVD. Tie a bell to your dick. If the bell doesn't jingle after 15 minutes or fewer, replace the gay porn DVD with straight porn DVD, because you are SO FUCKING NOT GAY.

In a companion decision, the Department of Defense has banned sex between men and women. That may cause some problems everywhere except in the Marines.

OK, so who fucked up the time zone conversion, the AP or the DoD?
What…there are gays in the Navy?!
As my rather flamboyant facebook friend put it, "Finally, heterosexuals can openly serve in the Navy!"
Jesus didn't come down and teabag us all for our sins.
I, for one, am totally exhausted from ramming my agenda down America's throat and buttsecksing freedom and preparedness raw since 12:01 this morning.

Right-frickin-on, Pristy! I'm avoiding playing this youtube of the soldier who came out to his dad last night, because I'm at work, and my hard-won reputation for being a hard-ass would lie in tatters if I watched here:

Don't play it till you get home and are cuddled up with your sweetie. It brought tears. And that doesn't happen very often.
The bad news here is that, the Coast Guard — the gayest military service that isn't in the military — is exempt, as it is not a part of DoD.
What about the Merchant Marines. They always confused me.
Definitely all hetero, despite all those hours alone at sea. Just ask ‘em!
Now imagining Michele's migraines today.
It's been ten years since they DADTed me out the door. I'd rejoin. But it's been ten years. So I haven't smoked enough weed yet. Maybe in another ten.
Aren't you still in the Reserves, then? You could be called up any moment now….
An old friend was at the end of his reserve status. He'd been a cook on a Navy ship, and since getting out had been training and working as a chef. He was called to active status, handed a gun, and found himself on guard duty at the front gate of a base. They didn't need cooks at that time.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm sure there's lots and lots of ex-military gays who are enjoying this day in a bittersweet sort of way.
Appreciated. And yeah, bittersweet sums it up pretty well.
Not nearly as big a deal as the problems the British have with canibalism in the military:

The Brits have the same issue as the Germans, but to a lesser degree. Have a society that's highly structured and repressed to any degree and the freakitude is going to pop up in ways you don't expect.
No comment from the right because they don't want to ask and nobody else wants to tell…..actually it's pretty obvious that this is the biggest non-issue ever and should have never even been implemented. Clinton should have just said "look ya'll, if ya wanna get your ass shot at I don't give two shits about how you like your sexy time."
THE HORROR. How long until we lose a war because of "poor unit cohesion?"
Now, where's that dog Imma suppose to marry?
OH SHIT! Breitbart forgot about the gays with guns!
Don't worry, they "got his back"
apparently dadt now only applies to marcus bachmann.
"Fragging" your fellow serviceman just took on a WHOLE different meaning.
Wonder if Rick Perry will be stupid enough to start campaigning on a promise to undo this.
Too soon!
oh and happy gay dignity day everybody!
i am going to celebrate by boycotting any radio program that interviews a republican.
and getting a pedicure.
Permission to serve fabulously sir!
T'was a long long time ago, back when we the people were fighting the commies in the 'Nam, when the dreaded postman delivered the "notice". Off to war for this freshly graduated dumbshit. Like the good Patriot, I went, to the New York Induction Center for the Army. Knowing that there would be a "physical", I had spent the last four days in an LSD, liquor, and whatever I could find induced stupor. So, as I spent some time on the famous Group W bench, surrounded by some of the finest "fags", but mostly negros and stupid white boys, we talked about the "War". Now, my luck was down and missing, and after vomiting the last of the dregs of my gut, we were gathered up by a very loud and obnoxious……we called him General……dude. We were asked to strip to our skivies, and of course the more flamboyant of my new friends giggled and giggled until the whole group of us were in total and uncontrolled laughter. Now I'm talking about 100 of us. The "Green looking General" was yelling and the spittle was flying which of course set the "girls" off again. It was total chaos. After about 15 minutes things settled down, and the "doctor" walked in. I was in line next to the biggest, darkest, shiniest, Tranny I have ever respected. The doc stopped in front of me, told me to drop 'em, turn your head and cough, guys, ya know the drill. Well after the sniggers and the comments on my package, he went to the fella I was just talking about…..the doc said "Skin er back…..turn your head and cough" Well, that large fella, and I mean "Anaconda" large, looked at that poor doctor, and said "Smack yer lips a coupla times, and it will skin itself back". We were all thrown out, and to this day I thank my Tranny buddy for saving my life that day. Gay Is OK!
Damn, I'm glad you didn't get to Nam.
Me too. I lost six of my friends from '71-73. I found them on the wall, and 'Nam still pisses me off. So do the other wars we have going.
I was at Mardi Gras in a small city in south Louisiana. A gorgeous transvestite, about 6'2" without the heels on, was promenading up the middle of the street (as you do at Mardi Gras between the parades). Two frat boys went up to him to hassle him and wouldn't back off, despite the transvestite's attempts to defuse the situation with humor. Finally, a frat boy pushed him and the tranny punched him square on the jaw, knocking the frat boy to the ground. The crowd applauds. The frat boys go running to the nearest cop, who was aways away but had seen what happened. The cop told them they'd been asking for it and that they forgot that despite the skirt and makeup, they'd been picking on a very large man. I believe we all might have applauded the cop's reaction, as well.
I tried to go to Mardi Gras once. I didn't make it, but I spent some time in a local pokey with a great gay couple, all dressed up, and no matter what was happening around us they were……..not going to let anything get in the way of their happiness, or partying. Don't ask and I won't tell where the doobies came from.

Cool. The openly gay can now die for their country. But their spouses will be able to receive benefits like any other spou…. wait, what?!
"All service members are to treat one another with dignity and respect regardless of sexual orientation"
WHOA THERE PILGRIM!!!
You need to cool down, you too hot…
Now if only politicians could treat each other with dignity and respect …
Now Andy Breitbart has no excuses.
Alright, I'll do it…
"FIVE YEARS, ALAN."
Sargent MARCUS BAAAAAAAAAAAAACHMANN reporting for duty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woohoo!!
You mean now I can go tell it to a Marine? Yay!
That wasn't so hard now, was it? Just a one-line memo was all that was needed.
That's what she said.
They let the gays in? What next, maladjusted, Southern, countyboys? The horror! Procure me the finest and most posh fainting couch, and fetch me my gormet smelling salts. I do believe I've been overcome by the vapors.
I wasn't expecting to cry first thing in the morning, but I just watched last night's Rachel Maddow. That soldier from Alabama telling his his dad over the phone nearly ripped my heart out, when I think about all the crap he had to go through to get to that point, and his courage and the faith that he had in his father. What a great moment.

in case you missed it.
Actually, 1002 words. In teatard world, one exclamation point is worth a thousand words.
Oh, but "Pinqu3" would be a little too affected, doncha think?
I didn't notice any of that. I was pointing out it didn't say "USA USA USA USA NASCAR RULZ!!!!!!111!!!!" at the end.
Oh, I see, one of them trique questions, eh?
I was only figuratively fat-bastarding him, you know, anaconda his liberal longhair-hating ways and all.
