Show Log For Wednesday, July 14, 2010

January 30, 2004 Vernon Dozier has a choice to make. Watch the Super Bowl or visit a critical ill, new-born grandson in San Diego. What do you think wins? “God gets his kicks watching us sweat like a priest in a whorehouse over things we really want and he’ll never give us.”Then Jeff Dowder, professor of mechanical physics at Cal Tech (among his many other talents) talks about how we can travel to Mars in a week and a half because of the “warp coil” and “dilithium crystals.” February 2, 2010 Phil rants about Janet Jacksons “wardrobe malfunction” which happened at half-time at the preceeding days Super Bowl. Then Phil interviews “Janet” in an early version of “As You’d Like to Hear Them.”  Later it’s Steve Bosell suing CBS because they didn’t really alert him that Jacksons boob would be shown so he bought the Lingerie Bowl instead. And now he thinks the guys he invited over don’t want to be his friend because he’s lame.

Ban Divorce? It May Be On The Ballot In California

A Sacramento man wants to ban divorce in California.

John Marcotte filed an initiative – the California Marriage Protection Act – with the state attorney general’s office last week. The initiative says: “No party to any marriage shall be restored to the state of an unmarried person during the lifetime of the other party unless the marriage is void or voidable, as set forth in Part 2 of Division 6 of the Family Code.”

Marcotte told KXTV News 10 in Sacramento the initiative is a “logical extension” of Proposition 8, the state’s voter-approved Constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

“Everyone wants to protect traditional marriage, I just thought Prop. 8 supporters went about it in a strange way,” Marcotte said, in an e-mail question and answer with San Diego News Network. “I’m attacking the heart of the issue. If you want to protect marriage, make sure that it can’t be dissolved. Ever. Problem solved.”

Marcotte’s initiative is generating buzz, for its content and the often tongue-in-cheek nature with which it’s presented.

According to the News 10 reporter, Marcotte has “engineered a number of harmless social pranks” – including a stunt where Marcotte and friends put a giant pair of Groucho glasses on a statue in a Sacramento shopping center last year.

The Web site says, “You said ’til death do us part. You’re not dead yet.”; “Jesus still loves you if you get divorced – just not as much as before.”; and “Hell is eternal – just like your marriage was supposed to be.”

Marcotte said the accusation that he’s kidding is “deeply offensive” and that the divorce ban is a “centrist position with broad, apolitical appeal.”

” … It just goes to show you how out of touch with mainstream America the liberal media has become,” said Marcotte, a married father of two. “They want to laugh me off as a joke, so that they can dismiss the very real traditional values my movement represents. Secular progressives like Brian Williams, Wolf Blitzer and Mario Lopez would rather concentrate their efforts on advocating for death panels, promoting socialism and discovering who Kim Kardashian is fornicating with this month.”

Marcotte said he’s confident Proposition 8 supporters will rally behind the California Marriage Protection Act.

“After all, [Proposition 8 supporters] weren’t trying to take rights away from gay people; they were just trying to protect traditional marriage,” Marcotte said. “I’m sure they will support this 100 percent, even if this time it is their rights that get diminished. It would be hypocritical for them not to support us.”

With regard to gay rights advocates and Proposition 8’s opponents, Marcotte said, “We are making great strides in the ‘hell-bound sinner’ demographic.”

The divorce ban would apply to opposite — and same-sex couples. More than 18,000 same-sex couples married in California before Proposition 8 passed in November.

“Jesus clearly said that divorce is a sin: ‘What God has joined together, let no man separate,’” Marcotte said. ”But, he never even mentioned homosexuals or homosexual behavior. Probably a clerical oversight, but still …

“So while being gay is sinful, it appears that Jesus felt that getting divorced was a larger sin. So I think gay people who happened to get married while it was legal to do so will have no choice but to remain married. But since being gay is also sinful, I think that homosexual couples should sleep in separate beds and refrain from having sex – just like real married couples.”

Whether he’s serious or satirizing, there’s no indication Marcotte is being dismissed. CNN picked up the News 10 story and Friday, Marcotte was forced to upgrade servers when an influx of users crashed the site RescueMarriage.org. The initiative’s Facebook page has more than 1,900 fans with more than 200 added since Monday evening.

Marcotte said he wasn’t planning to ramp up outreach until petitions were prepared to circulate, but the media attention and public interest are fueling the fire. There are still those, though, who haven’t heard of the California Marriage Protection Act.

Charles LiMandri, a San Diego lawyer who supported Proposition 8, told an administrative assistant he had not heard of Marcotte’s initiative, and he declined to comment.

Some Proposition 8 opponents – who are planning a grassroots campaign to repeal the same-sex marriage ban in 2010 – are amused by Marcotte’s initiative. The Marriage Protection Act Facebook page has a number of gay fans.

Lisa Kove, a San Diego member of the 11-person Interim Administrative Board of Restore Equality 2010, suggested Marcotte reach out to hotelier Doug Manchester, a supporter of “traditional marriage” who donated $125,000 to Proposition 8, and who CityBeat reported is split from his wife.

“[Doug Manchester] should contribute another $125,000 to secure traditional marriage’s protection from divorce,” Kove said.

When asked whether he thinks gay rights advocates will push a repeal of Proposition 8 through to the 2010 ballot, Marcotte said, “Oh, I know there will be. There is always some fool out there willing to abuse the initiative process just to make a point.”

Facebook beats station websites

From Inside Radio–Most radio station websites have come a long way since jock photos and banner ads.  But when it comes to a head-to-head battle with the social networking site Facebook, there’s still no competition.

A forthcoming study from Alan Burns and Associations shows women are 2.8-times more likely to have checked their Facebook profile in the last 24 hours than to have visited their favorite radio station’s website within the past week.  The results are based on Burns’ interviews of more than 2,000 female AC and CHR station listeners regarding their attitudes toward radio, the internet and their lifestyle.

Know Your Rights: Copyright Law Protects My Subscribers……

                                Mr. Hendrie

 Copyright law protects my subscribers as consumers. And  it protects me, the copyright holder…. The reason why the internet has so much pirated material from so many different artists is because people have not taken the time to use the law. The copyright holder in many instances is bewildered by the numbers of times his work is stolen. He gives up because the process appears to be either too expensive or too complex.  Sometimes he is faced with harrassment  by the bootlegger or people accessing the pirated material. He’s painted as trivial or “mean.” As if in all the world, somehow, the internet is a “safe” zone for thievery. It’s not. If you have material you’ve taken the time to protect with a trademark, copyright or both and you see it being shared freely without your permission via the web you need to act. When enough people begin to stand up and protect what is theirs this problem will begin to abate. In many cases these web thieves feel entitled and the measures you take can lead all the way up to and include filing a lawsuit or multiple lawsuits. But the law provides for you recovering attorneys fees and court costs at the expense of the defense. Start rolling back this unfortunate trend. Remember that in most cases, web piracy is practiced by people woefully ignorant of the law. In the end, you protect yourself and others who may someday find themselves the victims of this crime

Austin Amarca: Why Spanish Isn’t Going To Work Out

I don’t like it when somebody talks spanish here…don’t like it at all. Why they do that? You know why? To insult people that talk english, that’s right. They sneak around with their spanish communicating things we can only guess at…AND…they talk english too and that lets their people know what we’re talking about so they know what we’re talking about and they know what they’re talking about but we only know what we’re talking about not what they’re talking about. What do we do? I think we tell them to quit it. The other day I heard a couple of them rattling on in spanish and I said “Hey, talk english.” Wouldn’t you know I found me a couple that don’t talk english. Usually they’re bilingual.
