Week of September 27, 2009 - October 3, 2009

A Rapist By Any Other Name


What do Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Landis, and Martin Scorsese all have in common? They're all idiots that I won't be paying any attention to ever again.

They are just three of the many Hollywood celebrities jumping on the Roman Polanski bandwagon, falling all over each other to gush out praise and charity for a man who raped a child. HE RAPED A CHILD. Okay? The child was thirteen years old and Roman Polanksi raped her. What part of that don't these people get?

I discounted Woody Allen's opinion because I forgot him when he decided to screw his own stepdaughter. Of course, HE'D stick up for Polanski. Perverts Unanimous.

It's astounding that people would defend this sonuvabitch. I'm becoming more and more convinced the planet is doomed.

A Message For Joy Behar


Hey, Joy!

You made the claim that alcoholics tend to be crazy once they quit drinking, and that they find other addictions to substitute for the booze.

I just wanted to say to you that I quit drinking and using drugs over fourteen years ago. I also gave up gambling. I quit smoking in May of this year. I have stopped overeating since the beginning of summer.

Don't lump me and my fellow recovering drunks in the same category as Glenn Beck, k? Just don't. Some of us might go through some crazy shit while we're in early recovery, but if we do what we're supposed to do, we eventually get better. Some of us actually become mindful and thoughtful citizens. Some of us go on to become successful and productive members of society.

Beck represents the percentage of drunks who might stop boozing, but they don't do a damn thing about personal growth, and they certainly don't have any moral guidance. We call those folks "dry drunks". So, from now on, Joy---when you again feel like pontificating on a subject you're not informed about---just keep in mind that making up shit about a group of people doesn't make you any better than Beck.

Thank you.
