Calling in Sick

An allergy attack like no other is quickly leading to bronchitis. I work seven days and cannot afford to be down for the count. So, I’m taking this week off of my syndicated show AND the weekend from KGO. There will be fill ins for me today (Peter B THANK YOU) and hopefully tomorrow and Friday. As for KGO weekends, I am sick, it is the anniversary of Andrew’s passing, (11 years) and Long Beach Gay Pride and Thea is singing. I think I am going to spend a few days in bed, and then maybe try and be with friends this weekend to just …. make new memories. So please indulge me as I take a few days for Karel. I never, ever do, and I promise, I’ll be back stronger than ever on Monday. In the mean time, pass the Kleenex, it’s TV room suicide for a few days!

Indonesia yanks Gaga gig, says she’ll corrupt kids

thumbnailJAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) – Lady Gaga will have to cancel her sold-out show in Indonesia following protests by Islamic hard-liners and conservative lawmakers, who said her sexy clothes and dance moves will corrupt young people. National police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar, responding to the pressure, said Tuesday that the permit for her June 3 “Born This Way Ball” concert had been denied. Indonesia, a n…

Subject: Crack House Adventure

Hi Karel,
Haven’t had a good laugh since your podcast about the cops and crack house. ( realized the circumstances weren’t funny, but your description of the events that took place almost killed me laughing so hard).

So thought it would be a hoot if you would make a return trip saying something like you may have lost your wallet, ring or something there the first time. Of course take your piece for protection, but hopefully it would work out ok, then you could come back and tell us the story what happened and the characters involved on your newest adventure! I realize your probably saying to yourself, not a chance in hell, but just thought I would throw it out there. Keep up the good work, and hope your dog is still doing well as can be,

Felon in Chief

The First Felon President?
Romney is Guilty of Assault
by Charles Karel Bouley II

All right, enough is enough.

Imagine, if you will, being a little different; perhaps, even a lot different. Imagine trying every day to fit in but simply not being able to; or, maybe not even wanting to try any more. Imagine expressing yourself through dressing a little differently; wearing things that may not be deemed “normal” by most. Your parents are “OK” with it, but would prefer you shape up.

You decide to grow your hair long; part because you like it, maybe part protest. You even color it. After all, you’re almost 18, you’re about to be on your own.

The kids at school are the usual asshats they can be, calling you names, queer, fag, homo, referring to you as a girl or a loner or any one of a thousand names people can come up with when they don’t understand someone that’s different.

You pretty much just man up and take it. Spring break was pretty fun, you feel pretty good about yourself, you’re looking good. You decide to go study by yourself when suddenly the door bursts open.

What the ?

Before you even know it, six guys are on top of you screaming and yelling and calling you all of those names again. What are they going to do? You don’t suppose they’d…no, they wouldn’t do THAT…what’s going on, is this a joke?

You scream for help, trying to get away, you struggle, you fight, but there’s six of them. They hold you down, they hate you. Why? What did I do? What have I done? Don’t do it, don’t hurt me…wait, what are those? Scissors? Are they going to stab me? Poke out my eyes? Cut off my balls? Dear God get away! You scream for someone, anyone, your mom or dad, but they just laugh and hold you, others look on. Why won’t they help? Why are they standing there?

Then the leader, he takes the scissors. He begins yelling how you can’t run around looking that way. That you’re a freak and need to be taught a lesson. He begins cutting your hair! Yes! Your hair! He’s hacking away! You’ve been growing it for over a year. He’s cutting it all and hurting you! He hits your scalp! Ouch! STOP! Finally, he does, they flee as quickly as they came. You’re left, bruised, battered, you’re hair cut in clumps and fits, branded a freak. That’s assault. That’s a hate crime. That’s not a high school prank. It’s terrorizing another human being, like a band of terrorists. It’s behavior that is learned, accepted and doesn’t change. Particularly if the person that did it did it so much that can’t even recall the episode. Mitt Romney, you are guilty of assault by all accounts. We’ll never hear from the victim, as he died in 2004. But there’s been enough said, especially by you.

An apology won’t cut it. You, sir, should be no where near the White House.

The Republican Party should prove they have at least a shadow of the principals of its founder, President Lincoln, and in light of these accusations pull their support from candidate Romney and appeal to the delegates to nominate in to the actual nomination the candidate with the second largest votes in the primaries, all of them.

But it won’t. Which is why it truly has become something unrecognizable and destructive.

Mitt Romney, if these stories are true, and no one to date is discounting them and you, yourself simply say you can’t remember (?) and you allegedly committed an assault whether you knew the kid was gay or not. And you try to apologize it away?

You sir, are a disgrace in my eyes. A bully through and through. You would continue to bully Americans to your will; inflicting your master’s beliefs on a country disguised as morality; telling women what they can do with their bodies and their lives, telling tax paying Americans who can and cannot get married…on and on.

You should withdraw. You should feel lucky if criminal charges are not brought against you. You certainly violated that kid’s civil rights and that’s a federal offense if true.

Republicans, you should neither nominate nor vote for this man. He has no real remorse and he is allegedly a criminal. A real one.

Grow some. Put your money where your mouth is and if you really disapprove of bullies, say not to Mitt. We don’t need another Bully in Chief. Eight years of Bush was enough.
