The Iowa Renewal Project are attempting to restore the Religious Right in Politics
A new (fake) group of religious freaks hosted a big meeting in Iowa, in hopes to force religion back into the government.
Nearly 400 Iowa ministers and many of their spouses accepted, filling a ballroom here on March 24 and 25. Through an evening banquet and long sessions, they heard speakers deplore a secular assault on evangelical Christian verities like the sanctity of male-female marriage, the humanity of the unborn and the divine right to limited government.Even though the public's views of gay marriage is rapidly changing and more folks are moving away from religion, they still believe in forcing this mess to the country. It's very interesting how they have warped the simple teachings of the Bible into a hateful doctrine of discord. They are actively destroying the supposed messages of love and brotherhood. Is that example of God's love?
The program, sponsored by a temporary entity called the Iowa Renewal Project, featured several superstars of the Christian right as well as four possible Republican contenders for president. It was the latest of dozens of free, two-day conventions in at least 14 states over the past several years, usually with Mr. Huckabee listed as a co-sponsor, that have been attended by nearly 10,000 pastors who have spread the word in their churches and communities.
These meetings are part of a largely quiet drive to revitalize the religious right by drawing evangelical pastors and their flocks more deeply into politics — an effort given new energy by what conservative church leaders see as the ominous creep of laws allowing same-sex marriage and their sense that America is, literally, heading toward hell.

What will be my TV Pilot idea for Class?
I'm signing up for summer classes in the Cinema School and I'm freaking out. In one course, I will have to create a pilot for a TV series. I'm trying to get stared now, but I'm lost.
I have a lot thoughts, characters and ideas, however I can't decide what to focus on. Here are some of my ideas so far:
- After a failed attempt to set his school on fire, a gay teen is forced to go to an alternative school. Turns out it is an all Gay High School.
- A Gay Guy's final year in college proves to be full of drama as his love life, secret past and post-college plans collide.
- After her kids are grown and our their own, a mother starts the second leg of her life.
- A Former Circuit boy decides to change his life by taking his Grandmother's old house and turning it into a foster home for LGBT youth.
- A man's boyfriend was murdered by a cult. His lost turns into rage and begins seeking revenge on this group. But on his journey, he learns that his bf was into something far more dark and deadly than he could ever imagine.
Question of the Day: Gay Male Edition
My friend, The Boy From Ohio, met this guy the other and out of nowhere... He's in LOVE. Well, he's loveSICK.
I mean, he is sooo into this guy that it hurts him. He said that they didn't kiss or fool around. He just fell in deep with his personality and voice (The dreamguy speaks French). It was so bad, that my friend was playing Celine Dion in French in his car last night.
While I was trying to talk some sense into his crazy head, I got to thinking... Have I ever been that lovesick? The answer is yes. As my friend was chatting away about having kids and a house with this guy, I though my own love drug drama.
As most of you know, I followed my crush/friend to college. But that not all: I was caught up/fooling around with one of my roommates in college, fell in deep with a RA (which we fooled around for 3 years) and almost joined a music frat because I was crazy over my 'BigBro'. So yes, I've been there.
But I want to know if any of you been lovesick over someone? Please share.

See 'Insidious' This Weekend!
I saw 'Insidious 'last night and I was inspired and impressed by this movie. It is a new challenge on horror and mythology, which is sooo needed in the genre.
Here's a little bit of the story: A family is being haunted by ghosts in their new home, but what they learn is that it is not the home, it's their son that haunted. And it's more than just ghosts that want their son. Something far more deadly and evil wants him and will do anything to possess him.
So without hesitation, here is my (vague)review: NO SPOILERS
- This movie pulled out some great mythologies that I haven't seen in movies. In comic books, but not in movies.
- The actors were fantastic!
- The use of music in the scenes were perfect. Very creepy and thoughtful to the action in the scenes.
- The "ghosts" were creepy and divine. I was inspired.
- It was nice to Barbara Hershey in this movie, since she was a movie called 'The Entity'. Seem to fit her role in the film very well.
- The 'psychic' was not hokey, in fact, she reminded me of Tangina from 'Poltergeist'.
- The story about what's 'haunting' the son was something different and unexpected. Usually, I figure these things out, but I had no idea.
- The 'Red Face Man' was creepy and wonderful.
- The elements of the movie that were perfect. Everything came together well.
- Patrick Wilson was hot.
I can't tell you more. Go see this film and be afraid to turn off the light.

So, here is my rundown on the vacation.
- I was taught that Spam was for the less fortunate, however it is the food of the Gods in Hawaii.
- Waikiki is the new Las Vegas. But, it's a prettier tourist trap.
- If you go, don't eat on the strip, actually eat behind the main strip or in town.
- There version of pulled pork ain't the version of pulled pork I'm used to.
- The ABC Stores run that island.
- The Polynesian men are hot! For real!
- It's very carefree and laid-back in Hawaii. Everyone wore board shorts, tank tops and flip-flops. Fashion was not the deal.
- Cut off jeans are making a comeback.
- The ocean is so clear, y'all I tell you how beautiful it is.
- If you go to the island, try to stay next to the sea. You will love it.
- The seafood is really, really good.
- A lot of fanny packs come to Hawaii and LIVE FOREVER
- Hawaii is clearly an Obama state. You can get Obama dildos on any corner.
- Diversity is really alive in Hawaii. So many beautiful people and cultures coming together very well on the island.
