Press Release—"Mr. Gay Pride Ft. Lauderdale, Yanko Salazar, Wins Mr. Hotlanta"-- August 12 Oriental vs. Western Thinking Easterners, the researchers find, appear to think more "holistically," paying greater attention to context and relationship, relying more on experience-based knowledge than abstract logic and showing more tolerance for contradiction. Westerners are more "analytic" in their thinking, tending to detach objects from their context, to avoid contradictions and to rely more heavily on formal logic. Erica Goode—"How Culture Molds Habits of Thought"—New York Times, August 8 At the Heart of the Political Battleground The Nature-Nurture debate has always been at the heart of the political battleground with some on the Right believing people are born good or bad, intelligent or slow-witted. The Left believes things depend more on social circumstances. Pallab Ghosh—BBC News news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_850000/850358.stm Hating Hillary and Her Homo Friends

Men Who Ask So Little of Women
On the cover of one of those women's magazines it said, "One hundred ways to please your man." Hell, we men don't need a hundred ways. Just four: suck our dicks; play with our balls a little; fix something to eat and stop talking so much. Dave Chapelle— "Killin' Them Softly"—HBO, August Advice for Mary Cheney Here's what I think. First you need to have a talk with Mom and tell her not to say that you're not out because you are. Then you need to have a talk with Dad and his buddy George W. and ask them what they plan to say when the media asks them about gay issues. In particular, are they going to stick to their anti-gay positions when reporters point out to them that in his personal life, your dad has not treated you like a second-class person at all? ..If they say they will stop saying anti-gay things and will start supporting policies of fairness toward gay and lesbian Americans, then hooray for us all. If they say they're going to try to avoid talking about the topic forever, you should gently point out to them that we reporters are not so easily deterred. Rex Wockner—The Wockner Wire, #105 www.planetout.com/news/wockner/ Dick Cheney and the Republican Platform
How can Cheney run on a party platform that denies his own personal experience
with at least two thoroughly honorable homosexuals--his trusted aide (Pete Williams
a spokesperson for the Pentagon) and his loving daughter?…The platform approved by the same convention that nominated Mary Cheney's father would bar her from military service, deny her civil rights protection from discrimination and prevent any legal recognition of the five-year relationship
she has had with her partner.
Robert Scheer—" It's Always Wrong, Except When It's Their Daughter"—Los Angeles Times, August 10 Church & State Issues in Kentucky As a person raised in the traditions of the Southern Baptist Church and who accepted Christ in the Virgie Baptist Mission, I fully understand the sincere and deeply felt beliefs of the church…My actions will always be consistent with (my father's) understanding of basic Southern Baptist beliefs. Governor Paul Patton of Kentucky—quoted in The Letter www.theletter.net --August Sadistic Officials in the Good Ol' USA Amnesty International welcomed a series of recommendations to the United States handed down on May 15 by the U.N. Committee Against Torture. We urged the U.S. Government to implement the recommendations without delay, thereby living up to its obligations as a party to the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment…We will be watching closely when the United States submits its second periodic report to the Committee Against Torture in November 2001.

Yanko shined in all phases. His fantasy consisted of a mythical bird flying around and protecting a huge egg (centered in the center of the stage), as the bird was scared off by bolts of lightning, Yanko (without the audience seeing) went around the back of the egg and climbed inside. The crowd was on their feet as he then emerged from inside the egg as a samurai warrior.
