Sanity:1 - Phelps:0
The city unanimously voted AGAINST Phelps' attempts to erect a monument of hate.
I think the city counsel deserve emails of praise from all of us.

Rant in E-Minor
(- inspired by yet another festering crockferret badmouthing the club -)
Personally, I put a good chunk of the blame for the Cont sucking squarely on the former so-called regulars who fled the place years ago. It annoys me to no end hearing them bitch about how the club has gone downhill and then don't spend any money in it on the rare occassions they "bless" us with their presence.
Hey asshats! You left for whatever reasons you had. Maybe it was because your coke and smack supplier left. Maybe it was because the DJ wouldn't play your song even though you repeatedly offered to blow him out back. Whatever, it doesn't matter. The fact of the matter is you left. That left a vaccuum. And what does a vaccuum do? It sucks.
The "goths" weren't coming out anymore so others started showing up. The lounge lizards fucks from Chippewa started showing up and spending money. The owner decided that we had to start pandering to these leasure suit larries because they were giving him what he wanted ... MONEY.
He's not in this for the music. He's in it for the money. If you velvet wearing fucksticks want the Cont to play stuff you like there's only one thing you can do about it. START SPENDING more money than the chippewa fucks do.
You think any of us who work the club (except Helmet the retarded barback ... and he doesn't count because he spends more time buttsnorkelling the owner and the promoter than he does actually working) like half the national acts that have played there lately? Give me a break. But those talentless fucks draw crowds. And that's all the owner cares about. Why would he have that blonde cocksucker that poses as a promoter risk money on an act that you thankless analtarts would rather drive to Rochester to see?
Sweet Dead Jew on a Stick!!! The main reason I don't go onto the Cont message boards is listening to asshats bitching about shit they have no information about. And usually it's people who've not set foot in the club in months ( if not years )

Minor editing on an otherwise great post
I'm not LJ-cutting this. If you whining little asstarts don't want to read it; you can just skip over it. Cry me a river that I caused such discomfort to you. (- Can you tell I can't stand it when the only comment someone can say about a good post is LJ-CUT!!! -)
Protection From Politicians Week, 2003
By a citizen of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Politicians can have debilitating effects on communities, marriages, families, and children. During Protection From Politicians Week, we commit to take steps to confront the dangers of politics.
The effects of politicians and politics are particularly pernicious with respect to children, who are taught to respect politicians and are actually gullible enough to believe in them. Just as they do in Santa Claus. The recent enactment of the PROTECT Act of 2003 increases the number of child pornography laws, establishes the Federal Government's role in the AMBER Alert System, increases punishment for Federal crimes against children, and authorizes judges to require extended supervision of sex offenders who are released from prison. Which if it actually protected children from being exploited would be a good thing, but in reality it only punishes those who have exploited children, but has no other deterring force.
Our government has committed significant resources to the Department of Justice to intensify investigative and prosecutorial efforts to combat obscenity, child pornography, and child sexual exploitation on the Internet. They are vigorously prosecuting and severely punishing those who would harm our children. Last July, the Department of Homeland Security, an organization that was chartered by presidential executive order on Oct 8, 2001, to deal with foreign terrorist threats, launched Operation Predator, an initiative to help identify child predators, rescue children depicted in child pornography, and prosecute those responsible for making and distributing child pornography. Why aren’t they doing what they what they are supposed to?
Last year, George W Bush signed legislation creating the Dot Kids domain, a child-friendly zone on the Internet. The sites on this domain are monitored for content and safety, offering parents false assurances that their children are learning in a healthy environment, since this in no way monitors what other sites these children may be viewing. That responsibility still remains with the parents of these children where it in truth belongs. Working together with law enforcement officials, parents, and other caregivers, this government is attempting to make progress in protecting our children from pornography. Even though the term "Pornography" is a layperson's term, with no particular legal significance.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOE AVERAGE CITIZEN, Citizen of the United States of America, by virtue of the freedom of speech vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 26 through November 1, 2003, as Protection From Politicians Week. I call upon public officials, law enforcement officers, parents, and all the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate programs and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of October, in the Common Era year two thousand three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth.
