Loren, I’d written an explanation about the beauty of the lack of cohesiveness here and was about to ‘submit comment’ and my battery juice died, Howie summed it up well with, it’s a party so join in. I’m glad you like my name : )

George I like your freudian slip, cunts was typoed as counts and YES MO’FO’ we COUNT is right, get used to it and bullshit on your ‘rib’ rap, that’s a Christian shout out and I’m not buying what your selling. You’re a sick control freak and I’m surprised I still address you bc you’re just a jerk, though a perfect jerk puts all else in perspective, so – a jerk you are but apparently you are our jerk. Take the meds though wouldja?

Anonz kicks all ass, why would he be afraid of some Chinese ass and I don’t care how many troops you’ve got. If he’s still alive and well now, clearly the man knows how to maneuver and he’ll likely outmaneuver the Chinese at their own game. As always…I hope for his continued safety.

Luv, Zen Lill

Guam – 78-year-old Francisco “Kiko” Francisco has been a resident of Mangilao for over 70 years and remembers the day they moved him and his family to Mangeggon.

“We stayed there so we stay there until the Americans come in and because they have a play there mango tree, so they told us the mango is ripe because the Marines are red from the sun,” he recalled.

Francisco attended school in Mangilao during the Japanese occupation and recalls a time when a Japanese soldier accused him of chewing betel nut.

He said, “One day, inside the school, next to me was a kid chewing betel nut, I wasn’t chewing and the Japanese caught me when I yawned and he asked are you chewing betel nut? I said, no. he took the fan and slap my face three times,” he said.

In the morning, Francisco along with other kids would be forced to go into the jungle and pick wild papaya. Each kid would be given two baskets to fill up.

He was only able to fill up one and a half and was scolded by the Japanese soldier and punished. “They slap me again three times no four times…everytime you answer back, they slap you. I said, ‘Oh my God, these Japanese, I don’t know’,” he said.

Francisco was not the only one to be beaten. He watched helplessly as his parents were severley beaten.

“When my mother was working in a big field, she got beaten in the back, she was paralyzed for two years and then she died.

Then my father, too. He was beaten in Barrigada. What can I do? I was only 9 years old,” he said.

Francisco spends his days working at the Mangilao Mayor’s Office and enjoying time with his wife Rosita, to whom he’s been married for 60 years.

Up until five years ago, Francisco would take his kids and grandkids to the Liberation Day Parade every year.

Now, 78, and with his kids all grown up, they go on their own to commemorate the day Guam was freed from the Japanese.

On this 67th Liberation Day, we celebrate Francisco L. Fransisco as the grand marshal of Mangilao.
======================
I hope the celebration will be an enjoyment for everyone.

As a presidential candidate, Barack Obama said he believed marriage was a union between a man and a woman, but this week the president says he is proud for pride and is supporting a bill that would overturn the Defense of Marriage Act.

Just hours before Senate Democrats began their hearing on the measure sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the White House said Obama is “proud to support” it.

DOMA passed on a bipartisan vote in 1996 and was signed into law by President Clinton. The law defined marriage as between a man and a woman and blocked the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages.

“Despite the clear will of the people we have this legislation before us today,” said Rep. Steve King (R.–Iowa), who testified before the Senate panel this morning.

“President Obama has directed the Justice Department to stop defending the constitutionality of these laws. It is not the role of the executive branch to determine what is constitutional, but to uphold the laws,” King said.

“It is clearly the will of the American people to maintain and uphold [DOMA]. This is good for families, good for society and good for government,” King said.

Civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis (R.–Ga.) testified in favor of Feinstein’s bill calling it “an issue of dignity.”

“As a child, I tasted the bitter fruit of racism and discrimination, and I did not like it,” Lewis said.

Under Obama’s leadership and the Democrat-led Senate, Lewis said Congress should lead the way and overturn the law.

“We are called to be a headlight, not a taillight,” Lewis said.

We need to unite to stop this offense to God and the sanctimony of Marriage between a man and a woman.

Do you really want this to happen in San Francisco?

A lesbian couple was enjoying an art exhibit at San Francisco’s Contemporary Jewish Museum over the weekend when they were reportedly approached by a museum security guard and told they had to leave — all because they were holding hands.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle’s C.W. Nevius, the guard told the women they were not permitted to hold hands inside the museum.

When they began to argue with him, he attempted to usher them outside. The women refused and asked to see the head of security, while an outraged crowd of people formed to watch the altercation.

The head of security met with the women and immediately removed the guard from duty, according to Daryl Carr, the museum’s Director of Marketing and Communications.

Ironically, the women were checking out the work of famous lesbian artist Gertrude Stein.

The guard was not an employee of the museum but a contractor employed by a private security company, who had been called in to “fill a temporary slot due to staffing shortage,” said Connie Wolf, the museum director, in a letter to the museum’s board and staff. She said he will not be allowed to work at the museum again.

“Please let me be crystal clear that the CJM has a zero tolerance policy concerning any type of prejudiced or racist word or action— whether directed at CJM visitors or staff,” she wrote.

“The Museum has distinguished itself as a welcoming place where visitors, regardless of their backgrounds, can connect with one another through dialogue and shared experiences with the arts…

We informed the company that the type of behavior exhibited by the guard is contrary to the CJM’s policy and is unacceptable.”

It is as simple as saying to the bigot, racist, or asshole, “that the type of behavior exhibited by YOU is contrary to HUMANITY and is unacceptable.”

YOU are dismissed!
