Rule 5 Sunday: Cinco De Mayo

Posted on | May 7, 2017 | 2 Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

Another Sunday, another opportunity to take a break from politics* and enjoy some attractive young ladies. This week, the over-hyped 5th of May, which much like the Feast of St. Patrick is celebrated to a greater extent (and more drunkenly) than in its home country of Mexico. Historical details here, for those interested. Appropriately enough, we have as our appetizer this week a patriotic young Mexican lass clad in patriotic garb.
As usual, most of the following links are to pictures generally considered NSFW, and the management is not responsible for any damages incurred by readers who fail to click at an appropriate time and place. All fat content in this post is assumed to be 100% cage-free, natural, organic, free-range and pesticide-free unless labeled otherwise.

I, too, like tacos.

This week we begin with A View From The Beach, who got his links in early on account of travel. The Perfect Canvas – Kenza Fourati, Fish Pic Friday – Bad to the Bone – Bonefish, Full-on Wacky Cousin Katy Mode, Reason #5537 That Trump Was Elected, Mermaid Wednesday, Eyes Don’t Work, That’s Why They Call Them “Rub Rails”, Reason #5535 That Trump Was Elected, Monday Morning in Madagascar and “Smoke on the Water”

Ninety Miles From Tyranny serves up Hot Pick of the Late Night, Morning Mistress, and Girls With Guns; Goodstuff presents Brigitte Nielsen along with “…plenty lowbrow art and all the essential vitamins that a Dude needs.” How can one resist? Meanwhile, Animal Magnetism stirs the pot with Rule Five “That’s Racist” Friday and the Saturday Gingermageddon.

EBL’s herd includes Goat Yoga, May Day May-hem, Brigitte Bardot, Delta Airlines, Women Drinking Tequila, Derby Day, and Bruce Mozert’s Underwater Women.

Proof Positive’s Friday Night Babe is Emily Berrington, his Vintage Babe is Barbara Windsor, and Sex in Advertising is covered by Christina Hendricks. At Dustbury, it’s Mary-Kate Olsen and Jenny Scordamaglia.

Thanks to everyone for all their linkagery!

What Does ‘Homophobia’ Mean?

Posted on | May 4, 2017 | 2 Comments

The question raised by the #FireColbert controversy goes to the very heart of our 21st-century Culture War over “sexuality”:

If I wanted to insult Stephen Colbert, I might have called him a lot of things, but “cock holster” probably wouldn’t have come to mind. By the standards of Stephen Colbert, however, there are no standards, so I can call him any slang synonym for homosexual and still hope to get a network TV contract.
Alas, my phone isn’t blowing up with return calls from CBS executives, which probably means you won’t see “The Stacy McCain Gay Joke Show” on their fall schedule. And I had so much material ready . . .
Being almost as notoriously heterosexual as President Trump, I wouldn’t be much offended at being targeted by an anti-gay slur. It’s an odd thing about what are commonly called “homophobic” insults: Who’s insulted?
If you’re not actually gay, why would someone call you a faggot? Is he trying to start a fight? Aren’t anti-gay insults, when aimed at a target who is not even suspected of homosexuality, just a way of saying, “I don’t like you”?
OK, you don’t like me, so you call me a faggot. And then what?
How am I expected to react to this non sequitur? Call the Civility Police and report you for violating the law against homophobia?
Oh — wait a minute! Homophobia is not actually against the law. It’s a free country, and you have a right to your own opinion. . . .

That article was funded by readers who contributed in support of what I promised would be a 2,000-word “sledgehammer blow” against liberal orthodoxy, to be delivered by noon today. Actually, when I hit the “publish” button on the article, it was 2,097 words at 12:04 p.m. ET, so I was four minutes late and nearly 100 words beyond my proposed length. There were a couple of ideas I had in mind when I began writing that I didn’t get around to addressing specifically — e.g., isn’t “homophobia” more or less a prerequisite to heteroseuxality? — but we can hash out some of those points later. Please go read the entire article and let me know (either in responses there, or in the comments here) what you think of my work. Did I deliver on my promise? Did I focus attention on the proper response to the #FireColbert controversy? Did I raise the right questions and suggest the right answers?

Thanks to those who hit the tip jar: Leslie W., Jeffrey H., Steven J., Steve W., Cheryl B., Jennifer N., Louis M., Randall S., Whitney G., Philip M., David G., Peter S., Jonathan D., Stephen S., Laurel L., and Jason B. One reason I’m late in posting this acknowledgement is that the cable company decided today would be a good time to call my attention to my past-due bill by suspending my Internet service. So I called the service number to remedy this neglect and, checking my balance after I’d gotten the service restored, I was happy to discover that the Pay Pal contributions received in the preceding 12 hours were about $50 more than what I owed on the cable bill. Your donations were like answered prayer to a need I didn’t even know I had. God moves in mysterious ways, and all I can hope to do in gratitude is to try to give readers their money’s worth.

#FireColbert? How Much Do You Want ME to Explain Why This Is Hypocrisy?

Posted on | May 3, 2017 | 1 Comment

As everybody on the planet now knows, LGBT activists have launched a #FireColbert crusade after CBS Late Night host Stephen Colbert — a liberal in good standing, I hasten to point out — make a gay joke about Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. This is “homophobia,” and is intolerable, the anti-Colbert forces insist, and it occurs to me that Colbert and his enemies have therefore raised the question: What do we mean by “homophobia”? And furthermore, why is “homophobia” so wrong?

So, I’m itching to write about 2,000 words about this, because there is a profound hypocrisy behind the anti-“homophobia” crusade, and this Colbert joke has finally pulled the pin on this grenade.

What’s it worth to you, readers? Would you kick in $5 for the pleasure of watching me smash this smug bit of liberal orthodoxy to smithereens? Is it worth $10? Maybe $20? Just hit the tip jar for whatever you think it will be worth, and by noon tomorrow, I’ll deliver the sledgehammer blow.

Please, hit the freaking tip jar!

UPDATE: OK, that was a quick $160 — thanks to all who contributed — and as of 11:30 pm. ET, I’m 1,400 words into my sledgehammer blow against the hypocrisy involved in the #FireColbert crusade. So by noon Thursday, I expect to have it finished and then — WHAM!

UPDATE II: The promised WHAM! has been delivered.
