Republicans love family values - that's why a porn star and her boss are coming to the White House

Some of you may know the name Mary Carey even if you are not an avid porn connoisseur. She is the porn star who, along with such other names as Hustler's founder Larry Flynt and child-star Gary Coleman, ran against Ahnold the Governator in the recall election of 2003.

Mary Carey has been an exclusive contract girl for Kick Ass Pictures, run by Mark Kulkis, since 2003. Kulkis was actually her campaign manager during the election.

After that election, in the 2004 Presidential election, Republicans all over were talking about the morality vote, and how people were standing up for family values.

It seems that they have reverted back to their old money-comes-before-family-values-and-morality kind of ways. Kick Ass Pictures released a company press release saying that the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has invited Mary Carey and Mark Kulkis to a dinner in Washington, D.C. on June 14, and yes, President Bush will be in attendance.

According to the press release, Carey and Kulkis will be meeting with Karl Rove, a.k.a. the devil, about "important national issues."

Both are excited about attending the event. Kulkis talked about Republicans being the pro-business party and stated that the porn industry has "contributed over $10 billion to the national economy last year."

Carey is especially excited to meet Karl Rove, saying that "Smart men like him are so sexy. I know that he's against gay marriage, but I think I can convince him that a little girl-on-girl action now and then isn't so bad!"

The release did not say if Kulkis, an Honorary Chairman on the NRCC's Business Advisory Council, would assist in any future plans for Carey to run for office, but Carey has expressed interest in running for Lieutenant Governor of California next year. Said Carey, "Since Arnold is a Republican, I thought this dinner would be a great networking opportunity for me."

NC preacher shows his insanity, Jesus Christ can't get a drivers license, and it's Starbucks vs. The Boss.....

This article originally appeared on NBC affiliate WFIE14's web site at http://www.14wfie.com/Global/story.asp?s=8945, but now it says "our apologies...you have reached a page that is currently unavailable..." blah blah blah.

However, doing a search for "democrats church" on their site brings up this page: http://www.14wfie.com/Global/SearchResults.asp?qu=democrats+church, showing that the article used to be there.

Anyway, here it is, in all its insanity:

"NC-Preacher Throws Democrats Out of His Church
May 6, 2005, 3:29 PM

"The minister of a Haywood County, North Carolina Baptist church is telling members of his congregation that if they're Democrats, they either need to find another place of worship or support President Bush.

"Already, the Reverend Chan Chandler has ex-communicated nine members of East Waynesville Baptist Church. Another 40 members have left in protest. During last Sunday's sermon, he acknowledged that church members were upset because he named people, and he says he'll do it again because he has to according to the word of God.

"Chandler could not be reached for comment Friday, but says his actions weren't politically motivated. One former church member says Chandler told some of the members that if they didn't support George Bush, they needed to resign their positions and get out of the church, or go to the altar, repent and agree to vote for Bush.

"A former church treasurer says she's at church to worship God and not the preacher."

Also, speaking of religion and Christianity...loosely, anyway.......Jesus Christ cannot get a drivers license in West Virginia.

A "white-haired businessman" who has been using the name "Jesus Christ" for 15 years cannot get a drivers license in West Virginia. According to MSNBC, "He has a U.S. passport, Social Security card and Washington, D.C., drivers license bearing the name Jesus Christ."

West Virginia won't let him get a drivers license under the name Jesus Christ because his Florida birth certificate bears his real name, "Peter Robert Philips, Jr.," and he hasn't gotten an official name change in Washington.

Mr. Philips, or Mr. Christ, tried to get an official name change two years ago by a District of Columbia court, but a judge denied the change, saying that the name could provoke a "violent reaction" or "significantly" offend people. Christ's attorney says the attempted name change was an expression of his faith.

...And Starbucks has officially banned the new album by The Boss, Bruce Springsteen.
His new album, "Devils and Dust," apparently has a song that offended the Starbucks bosses. The song "Reno" on the album is about an encounter at a Nevada brothel, referencing oral sex and the line: "Two hundered dollars straight in, two-fifty in the ass."

If you ever thought that a double vanilla latte and prostitution mixed well, you are mistaken.

From Impeachment to Impalement...

"From Impeachment to Impalement: the Threats and Violence of the Right" is my newest column published in the Capital City Free Press.

Here's an excerpt:

"Due to this outcry from right-wing extremists and an increase of death threats, judges across the country are having to hire extra security to protect themselves...One unnamed judge told Newsweek, 'When I go home I go out and cut the grass and wash my car. Anyone who wants to do harm to me can.'"
