FRANK OF ARC


You’ve gotta wonder how a gay man from Massachusetts – Barney Frank –widely considered one of the most powerful members of Congress for 27 years, Chair of the House Financial Services Committee which oversees America’s entire financial services industry including securities, insurance, banking and housing industries and stuff – a portly JEWISH gay Congressman (MOST upsetting in some quarters, Rapturous in others) – sets the template for handling right-wing retards at his Town Hall meetings.

 

HERE is how.

 

FRANK OF ARC

 

 

Yes, there is an Arc, Massachusetts. Google it. The Association of Retarded Citizens (since 1953) has nothing to do with “retards.” Don’t even START getting hinky about the word, retards.

 

In contemporary usage, “retard” doesn’t mean genetically developmentally-challenged individuals like Trig Palin. “Retard” is vernacular for WILLFUL ignorance and general stupidity as exhibited by Teabagging sheep in Town Hall meetings and by blogging trolls.

 

Saint Frank of Arc isn’t having any and lets his Town Hall retards know it.

 

Though we’re pretty sure the Catholic Church has yet to canonize a gay Jewish saint, outspoken St. Barney is worshipped by millions.

 

(We know the feeling.)

 

There is a groundswell of support for Frank of Arc and I’m proud to have ordered one of the first lapel pins, depicting a livid Frank in High Belligerence and the slogan, “Don’t Fuck With Frank!” (available in choice of colorways).

 

Particularly after THIS.

Oh, that Leviticus!

You'd think he was one fucked-up food-and-sex-obsessed desert 2,000-year-old Jew, but no.

Just a compilation of "traditional" fucked-up Jewish folklore under a pseudonym.

They lived in the desert. Breathed sand. Sacrificed poor innocent goats to atone for their fucked-upness. The Book of Leviticus? No wonder.

Schmucks.

My favorite is the one about killing your disobedient children.

Britney Spears? Lindsay Lohan? Amy Winehouse?

Maybe a kernal of truth there.

I so enjoyed the Rachmaninoff...believe it or not, I was raised on that shit. (I preferred Berezovsky to Viera in your selections...maybe it was my mood).

Mom has always told me she played classical music to me in the womb. Obviously, something "took'' because I've always had a great appreciation.

I remember being no older than 14 when I had Tchaikovsky blaring from my cassette player while I was hitting balls in preparation for a tournament. It was a routine and it inspired me. My friends thought I was nuts.

I know what you're thinking...Tchaikvosky? She must be a prole..that's simply ear candy.

Forgive me, I was young then.

Sister- ! I'm so GLAD! It was meant only for you.

Nothing wrong with Tchaikovsky.

Look. I love everybody. I'm an Equal Opportunity Lover. Musically.

Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss, Debussy, Bach (a little like musical trigonometry but, you know: PRECISE).

But the RUSSIANS!

There is something so EMOTIONALLY demanding about the Russkies . . . to yield to their compositions, even for a short period, THREATENS some people.

Those composers want to debauch you physically and emotionally.

In an unforgettably GOOD way.

Is my two cents' worth.


PLUS, Sister-, if I haven't told you and you don't already know about it, here is Pandora!

Your own custom radio station for free on your computer or iPhone.

Just type in an artist, a song title, a composer, and Pandora's genome delivers . . . well, just try it.

You're welcome.
