Ernest Greene Defends Jenna Jameson Against The Wrath of YouSUCKasan by Anthony on October 7th, 2008
I had linked earlier to Ernest Greene's defense of Jenna Jameson's fitness for motherhood that he had posted to the comment sections of Ren's blog and to the BPPA: but it is so freakin' awesome that it deserves its own space.

Why Porn Starlets Having Children Beats Right-Wing Racist Asshats Having Children (Or...An Open Letter to Asukasan) by Anthony on October 7th, 2008
....or should that be, YouSUCKasan... First off, the rantage which fuels my current rage, as appearing in the original: How does everyone in the community feel about Jenna Jameson's pregnancy? Jameson and boyfriend, Tito Ortiz, recently announced that they are expecting twins together, and I was wondering how you felt about porn stars(or I guess ex-porn stars in Jameson's case) having children. Personally, I'm against it. Even though my opinion means nothing to these people, or even to others around me, I don't think that porn stars should be allowed to have children. I feel that it is a bad environment to raise children in-and I don't even want kids of my own-and I don't think porn stars deserve to be parents. If prostitutes are demonised for having children, then why not porn stars? Because doing porn is "legal" and somehow less harmful for children. I don't care if Jenna "has always wanted children" or that she said she would quit porn after getting pregnant.. I don't think that she should have children. If Jenna worked a legitimate job and made legitimate money, maybe I feel she would be more deserving of children. I feel pain for her twins when they grow up, being known as Jameson's children. Imagine when they go to school, "Isn't your mom a whore*? Does that mean you'll be a whore when you grow up, too?" "Is your father your real father, since your mom has had sex with so many men?" I would hate to see a child put through that kind of life, because Jameson's career as a porn star will be with her for the rest of her life-doing porn is the only thing she will ever be known for; it's the only thing she ever wanted to be acknowledged for: "Right now, my goal is to be the biggest star this industry has ever known." Not much of a goal... Now, others more accomplished than moi (namely, Ren, Trinity, Debs, Natalia, and Caroline, among others...and especially Ernest Greene, who has actually worked with Jenna enough to know that her motherhood skills are greatly underestimated) have commented on the vileness of such comments....and even some of the most virulent antiporn feminist activists came out in the discussion thread which followed this blast in challenging asukasan's main point. Suffice it to say that the notion of someone who herself is unwilling to have children by her own choice attempting to get into Jenna's uterus and dictate to her when and if she should bring children into this world merely because she happens not to like Jenna's chosen profession -- or simply Jenna's use of her body for her own "selfish" sexual pleasure -- strikes me as just one notch short of outright Nazism. No, check that....it IS Nazism. I would guess that dear asukasan would probably not be so keen to the idea of forcing women not to have children if it was directed towards, say, poor people or dark-skinned people or the differently abled. In fact, if any male even came close to openly advocating that any woman should be denied her right to control her own uterus, he would be -- and rightfully so -- banished to the Patriarchy where he belongs. But, there is the real world..and then there is the GenderBorg world, where all rules collapse to the black hole of the Sisterhood of Womyn Warriors, and where women who insist on their right as women to make decisions about their own bodies are condemned as sellouts, traitors, "sexbots", "sparkle ponies", slaves to TEH COCK....or just plain MEN. Especially if you just so happen to like the wrong kind of sex that doesn't meet Teh Movement's rigid standards. That, though, is totally secondary to my main point, which may come to a surprise to folk like asukasan when (or if) she ever leaves the protective cocoon of groupthought and actually talk to and listen to women in the real world: Porn performers are ALREADY HAVING CHILDREN, and HAVE BEEN HAVING CHILDREN SINCE TIME IMMORTAL......and the world hasn't spun off its axis yet. I personally know of several moms or soon-to-be moms who happen to be porn performers -- whether active in movies or on the Internet -- and for the most part, their children happen to grow up to be responsible, respectable, and, for the most part, normal human beings, with no more neurosis than what normal kids endure. And as for the particular case of Jenna Jameson cited in the OP: I'm guessing that considering all the bank that Jenna has saved up, and her skills as a business woman (you do forget that she actually RUNS a freakin' website and has actually produced films featuring performers other than her...she didn't make all those millions only on her back, you know), I'm guessing that she will make a pretty damn good mother....a hell of a lot better than a lot of "normal" women. In fact, I'd say that her experiences in porn and her skills in the art of sex will actually be a bonus for her kids, in that she will have a hell of a lot of knowledge in the subject to pass on to her kids....not to mention that she will be more than able to inoculate them from the very bullcrap that asukasan thinks that they will get thrown at. Besides...don't you think that Jenna has already steeled herself against the old "'Ya mamma's a cumdumpster WHORRRRREEEE!!!!ONE!!!11111!ELEVEN!!!ONETHOUSANDONEHUNDREDELEVEN!!" insult enough?? After all, she's had to fight that chant all her life from everyone, including Judith Regan (who produced her bio) to Bill O'Reilly (who openly called her a "slut"...right before soliciting her for a copy of her videos....for research purposes only, of course), to detractors from the "mainstream" media (one lovely quote from when her pregnancy was released to the public from a tabloid: "What if the baby gets stuck in the uterus from all the semen collected from all the sex she's had in porn??") Of course, having all but outed Jenna and...

Why Keith Olbermann = Journalist (And Sarah the FauxMILF + JohnnyMacSame = TOAST) by Anthony on October 7th, 2008
Beautiful, Keith....simply damn beautiful. If there was a political version of Jim Rome's SmackOff, Olbermann would be retired with honors. The ultimate rack job. (Not to be confused with Lisa Ann's bodacious rack, BTW.....) Countdown with Keith Olbermann: 9/7/08 Special Comment on the hypocrisy of Sarah Palin and John McCain's latest shitslinging mudslinging [via YouTube] This alone should be enough to flip Virginia and Florida. Oh, what's that, you say?? They've already flipped??? Nice going, McSame and Caribou Barbie....care to go for losing Georgia and Mississippi next?? ...

..And Speaking of Meltdowns... by Anthony on October 1st, 2008
....the hubris of some people is breathtaking. Take, for instance, Mark Levin, wingnut columnist for the crackpot neo-fascist National Review Online, attempting to praise those House Republicans who voted to kill the bailout bill (quoted by Glenn Greenwald at Salon): [...] The liberal uses crises, real or manufactured, to expand the power of government at the expense of the individual and private property. He has spent, in earnest, 70 years evading the Constitution's limits on governmental power. If conservatives don't stand up to this, who will? If they don't offer serious alternatives that address the current circumstances AND defend the founding principles, who will? Oh, really???  Would that also include that great liberal George Walker Bush, who personally contributed to "small government conservative" values through his opposition to the PATRIOT Act, his gutting of FISA to allow telecoms immunity from prosecution for tapping Americans' phones, or his strong fiscal conservatism that actually increased both the size of government and the debt simultaneously??? Oh, wait...Levin was a booster of Bush and his wars from the very beginning?? And what about those 95 Democrats who voted against the bailout, Mr. Levin??  I guess that they don't count because they aren't your kind of principled "conservatives"...right?? And...70 years???  Wouldn't that include, like, the Cold War years, the Nixon years, the Reagan years??  The wars in Vietnam, Central America, Grenada, Iraq, Iran?? Which conservatives would that be, Mr. Levin....Joe McCarthy??  Theodore Bilbo?  George Wallace?? Ike Eisenhower?? (Wait, he was no conservative...he integrated the South and pulled troops out of Korea....not very "conservative" of him.) BTW...his alternative to the "bailout" would basically be to eliminate the corporate income and capital gains taxes and make the Bush tax cuts permanent...and to allow the "free market" to work it's healing magic in weeding out the crooks.  Never mind that it was such "free market" magic that allowed the likes of Phil Gramm to create the sub-prime mess to begin with....or that he would have basically the same crooks who manipulated the government to get rich off such Ponzi schemes to rule over and get mightily rich on the healing process....while average Americans are left to fend for themselves.  But, hey, it's all the Black Caucus and ACORN's  and "the liberal's" fault, anyway, since they forced the bankers against their own will to make tons of money off these junk loans.  Really, we're just innocent folk....Saddam made us do it!!! And apparently, the lunacy vine is spreading rapidly across Wingnutteria: here's Jabba the Fat-Ass Oxycontin Addict (aka Rush Limbaugh) attempting to run the same meme today at his website (also quoted from Greenwald): Left Creates a Crisis Mentality, Uses It to Abrogate Constitution Let me read to you the preamble of the United States Constitution. . . . Some Hugo Chavez or some Brazilian president attacked the US over the weekend, saying that the US Constitution is out of whack. Somebody needs to tell him the US Constitution is not in play anymore. The US Constitution has been abrogated and is being tossed overboard section by section by the Democrat Party and the American left. Funny..but I'd think that a 775-point dtop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the liquidation of two major banks and the consolidation of a third, and the not-so-leftist Republican Treasury Secretary and really-not-so-leftist Federal Reserve Board Chairman, flanked by the current President of the United States (which, unless my hearing has failed me, is probably not a leftist or even a Democrat) would seriously count as a crisis, not merely a "crisis mentality". But, if Rush wants to keep on ignoring the divisions in his own party and his own movement just to lob spitballs at the Dems and the liberals from his Excrement in Thincasting bunkers....well, that's fine by me. Just wondering how much of his latest $380 million deal was lost in the panic last week?? Oh...and memo to Rusbo: before you pull up the "But the Democrats were in charge of Congress the past 2 years" smack, you might notice that the Congress has been mostly giving your once favored President mostly blank checks to do whatever the hell he wanted on issue after issue....so where's the "obstruction' charge coming from???  Probably pulled right out of your colon, more than likely. Expect more of the meltdowns as the election gets closer and reality finally begins to set in that the free-for-all party that the Right has been having is finally ending. ...
