Lyrics
[02-27-07]
On the day the NHL Trade Deadline occurs, it’s surprising that anything surprises me anymore. The fine line between reality and actuality is the principle complexity to whether Art Imitates Life, or Life takes its cue from a canvas.
See if you can guess correctly, which of the following is Fact and which is Fiction:
1. Today the same guy who filmed a Love Story aboard a sinking Luxury Liner with at last count 120 irrefutable factual errors, says Jesus was married and had a son, has proof, and insists a movie is the best way to correct history.
2. After their annual retreat, the clandestine club known as The Council for National Policy, whose few hundred members include Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and Grover Norquist, emerged with an all new lease on Episcopal Life for teens who have already had sex; it’s called “Secondary Virginity”.
Or,
3. The ancestors of former presidential candidate and Civil Rights Activist Al Sharpton were owned, as slaves, by former Senator and prominent defender of segregation Strom Thurmond.
4. Hustler Magazine wins a Supreme Court victory over Jerry Falwell that states the satire of a public figure, no matter how vulgar, insulting or even false, is protected by the First Amendment.
While obviously the last entry actually occurred on this day nearly 20 years ago, the other (3) are in fact, well, FACT!
Director and now self-appointed historian James Cameron, has directed a special for the History Channel, a kind of Meet the Jesuses! …which focuses on a tomb he says sheltered Jesus, his wool, and skippy, his son who would never be what his father was…
Then there’s the (3) Amigos, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and Grover Norquist. Somehow, it’s fitting to have the nations Top (2) Evangelists chumming up with the money man, in what can only be described as a desperate attempt at ditching the notion of abstinence until marriage with a kind of Waiver, called Secondary Virginity, which will alow you to have one sexual relation, as long as it’s with a public certified evangelist.
But the real shocker comes in the form of Al Sharpton’s family tree, whose lineage includes slaves once owned by Senator Strom Thurmond, who holds the record for the longest filibuster in the History of the United States Senate, blabbing 24 HOURS STRAIGHT in opposition of the Civil rights Act of 1957.
Ya know, with a Day in History like the one we’ve just experienced, who needs a President on the verge of invading its 2nd country before finishing the first. But, there’s always tomorrow…
