Awww….isn’t that sweet?????? Wait….is she…no…

PWN3D. Thanks to Thug E. Fresh for always serving up the fresh links, even if he doesn’t call me back and makes me drive back from SF at 3 AM wasted. WE STILL HOMIES.

So a lot of people I know have been saying a lot of good things about Ron Paul, the darkhorse Republican Presidential Candidate who has made a name for himself with his unflinching dedication to withdrawing troops from Iraq and actually instituting the small-government type shit that Republicans always talk about but never actually do.  However, a look back at some of the Texas Congressman’s old newsletters uncovers more than a few somewhat questionable opinions, to put it mildly. Though nebulous in their actual authorship, the passages in the newsletter all ran with the implicit editorial signature of Paul himself. A few of the better excerpts:On Martin Luther King Jr:

A “world-class philanderer who beat up his paramours,” “seduced underage girls and boys,” and “made a pass at” fellow civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy. One newsletter ridiculed black activists who wanted to rename New York City after King, suggesting that “Welfaria,” “Zooville,” “Rapetown,” “Dirtburg,” and “Lazyopolis” were better alternatives. The same year, King was described as “a comsymp, if not an actual party member, and the man who replaced the evil of forced segregation with the evil of forced integration.” 

 On AIDS victims in San Francisco:

“[T]hese men don’t really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners.” Also, “they enjoy the attention and pity that comes with being sick.” 

Paul’s newsletter was also supportive of some interesting causes. Such as right-wing militia groups:

In January 1995, three months before right-wing militants bombed the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, a newsletter listed “Ten Militia Commandments,” describing “the 1,500 local militias now training to defend liberty” as “one of the most encouraging developments in America.” It warned militia members that they were “possibly under BATF [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms] or other totalitarian federal surveillance” and printed bits of advice from the Sons of Liberty, an anti-government militia based in Alabama–among them, “You can’t kill a Hydra by cutting off its head,” “Keep the group size down,” “Keep quiet and you’re harder to find,” “Leave no clues,” “Avoid the phone as much as possible,” and “Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.” 

 And everyone’s favorite, David Duke:

In a passage titled “The Duke’s Victory,” a newsletter celebrated Duke’s 44 percent showing in the 1990 Louisiana Republican Senate primary. “Duke lost the election,” it said, “but he scared the blazes out of the Establishment.” In 1991, a newsletter asked, “Is David Duke’s new prominence, despite his losing the gubernatorial election, good for anti-big government forces?” The conclusion was that “our priority should be to take the anti-government, anti-tax, anti-crime, anti-welfare loafers, anti-race privilege, anti-foreign meddling message of Duke, and enclose it in a more consistent package of freedom.” 

Duke has, of course, returned the favor in kind, offering frequent updates on and support for the Paul campaign on his website. If you’re one of the tens of thousands of people who’ve given Paul money over the internet, there’s only one thing I can say: PWN3D!!!!!!!!!!!!111    

Now that our blog is for the moment focused on interracial relationships…

I twice kissed a black guy. And I loved every moment. Their lips were soft and juicy and I wanted to just fall fast asleep right there. Plus they have really smooth game.

However, the best lips I’ve ever kissed were Mexican. That’s you, Gerardo. X

Two of the last three posts on this blog, the uh, SYNTHESIS MAGAZINE blog have been about every teenager’s favorite emotional rock periodical Alternative Press. And I just realized that by posting this, three of the last four posts on this blog have now been about Alternative Press. Damn. PWN3D.

On the heels of Russia’s claiming the North Pole a few months back, many others nations are rushing to stake a claim to millions of miles of seabed under the new UN Law of the Sea Convention:

The 21st century land rush is likely to be the last big shift in land ownership in centuries and reflects the necessity to claim new seams of the Earth’s resources. In total, as much as 2.7m square miles - an area similar in size to Australia - is believed to be at stake.

As usual, it’s about oil:

Britain is preparing territorial claims on tens of thousands of square miles of the Atlantic Ocean floor around the Falklands, Ascension Island and Rockall in the hope of annexing potentially lucrative gas, mineral and oil fields

And, uh, oil:

With a high degree of likelihood, Russia will be able to increase its continental shelf by 1.2 million square kilometers [460,000 square miles] with potential hydrocarbon reserves of not less than 9,000 to 10,000 billion tonnes of conventional fuel beyond the 200-mile [322 kilometer] economic zone in the Arctic Ocean
