This is a long insightful comment I posted at RealArt the other day. I didn't find anything to really write about so I'm just pasting this to make a new entry. I'm trying to blog more, even though it really shouldn't be a high priority...
I think people truely hate Paris because she's so needlessly rich. If that's true, this hatred doesn't say as much about sexual attitudes as it does about class attitudes.
I think "slut," and "cuntrag" and the like are just dirty words people use to express their anger towards her. Like when Michael Richards called those hecklers 'niggers,' not because he was racist but because it was sure to get them to shut up and leave (and they surely did). He was pissed (and I admit, out of line) so he used [the] most offensive word possible to piss them off too, not because he had anything against their ethnicity.
Not to say that sexism isn't a problem, I just don't think this gleeful reception of Hilton's incarceration is a text book example. There's more to it than sexuality, it's about money. After all, her money is why she's famous in the first place.
I've actually come to disagree with what I wrote, but it's still a valid argument I guess.

FUCK the system
From Yahoo! as usual with my lazy ass self:
Republicans blocked a Senate no-confidence vote on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales Monday, rejecting a symbolic Democratic effort to force him from office amid blistering criticism from lawmakers in both parties.
[...]
"They can have their votes of no confidence, but it's not going to make the determination about who serves in my government," Bush said in Sofia, Bulgaria, the last stop on a weeklong visit to Europe.
"This process has been drug out a long time," Bush added. "It's political."

1) I was about to say there were more important issues that the Democrats should be dealing with, but no, this is a serious issue and it's good that they're addressing it, but are their hearts are actually in it? I guess the real question is whether the Democrats have any heart left at all. FUCK them anyway, as Ron said yesterday, I don't care what they do anymore, I know they're not on my side, they could care less whether Gonzales keeps his job.
2) How much more proof do we need that Bush is a downright dumbass and a total douche bag? "They can have their no confidence votes and 'rule of law,' Gonzo's my guy and I'm stickin' to him, right Bulgaria?" FUCK George Bush.
3) NO SHIT "it's political," it's the fucking Senate!! Know what else is political? Spontaniously firing off several lawyers who might oppose the administration, I'll be damned if that's not political. FUCK Gonzales.

Okay, my videos suck
Well, I officially have to copy everything Ron from Real Art does in one way or another, and you should notice that we both have some video blogs, but mine are really short and weird while his are longer, funny, and hence entertaining. (Yes Ron, they're entertaining, especially the second one so keep it up, I'm diggin' it.)
Anyway, I just want to confirm that I know my videos suck. Ron's an actor so he's super comfortable with it, which is why he does it. So perhaps I shouldn't because I feel really awkward talking to a camera, especially alone. That last one was a little of my "poetry" which I use in quotes because I'm neither a poet nor a real artist anyway (check Ron's blog to get what I mean, and yes that's just more proof that I'm his little blog bitch). But yeah sometimes I come up with strings of words that sound interesting together and it's...not really poetry but pretty fucked up nonetheless.
Oh, and I guess I just don't blog much in general because I'm a lazy motherfucker.
