BROKEBACK TO THE FUTURE AND OTHER THINGS

A few things before the good stuff.

1. The political sniping taken at President George W. Bush at the memorial of Coretta Scott King was an example of grotesque partisanship. That Democratic Party representatives such as Jimmy Carter would exploit this situation as another example to politicize what should have been a respectful event is beyond reproach.

Ironically enough, the 'wiretapping' that Carter refers to of the Kings was done by J. Edgar Hoover at the behest of Robert Kennedy. Until the black community in America quits allowing the Democrats to take their votes for granted and start looking up to people like Condoleeza Rice as opposed to Jesse Jackson, things will not change.

2. As for raising the age of consent to 16, I am for it. I have no fears that we will be seeing scores of consenting teens carted off to jail anytime soon. If the fear of it means a few of them might wait a little longer for sex...good.

3. Last week Stanely Kurtz in the National Review confirmed much of what I have written on the issue of same-sex marriage by analyzing the reportings of Martha Bailey, a radical feminist Queen's University law professor.

Bailey indeed writes in her report that by legalizing polygamy it is yet one more step towards the abolition of the institution of marriage in general. She sees this as a good thing for liberating women from the patriarchal institution of traditional marriage. The War Room has already written that the origin of SSM was not in the gay community but in the radical feminist. I went to Queen's University also and it was noted for being at the forefront of the legal community and at the forefront of radical feminist law.

This did not surprise me at all. There is not much more to say at this point.

4. It seems New Line cinema is thinking of financing a feature film based on the life of the Virgin Mary entitled Nativity. To be directed by Catherine Hardwicke from a script by Mike Rich, the film is to be about the story of Joseph and Mary leading up to the Nativity. I have always thought this would be a beautiful story if done tastefully, realistically and with respect.

Will this be that or another attempt at revisionist history with a sexually active teen Mary? Will it be inspired by The Passion of the Christ or The DaVinci Code?

5. If you've made it this far and have a sense of humour hit the following link. You will find one of the funniest movie parodies I have seen in a longtime entitled Brokeback To The Future.

Well edited and a great concept.
