Lois Kibbee – Queen Bee of Closeted Broadway Lesbian (Underground) Society of Yesteryear
A great line in the movie Caddyshack put me on the floor laughing yesterday with an old style vaudeville delivery in the character of Rodney Dangerfield addressing the character of Lois Kibbee,
playing the wife of Ted Knight the actor in that movie.
Dangerfield: “Hey Babe, you must have been something before
electricity.”
LMAO
Well it is strange talking about Lois after all these many years
later.
That I see lately so much pain in
the Gay community over this equality civil rights issue.
Lois lived her life with a quiet defined demure but determined closeted butch attitude in her acting role on day time soaps and as part time writer,
ghost writer then to a famous transsexual, if I am using that term correctly – getting stiffed on her ghost writer’s
fee.
What was a closeted lesbian do in those days? Sue? Bring attention to herself in public in
a world that would discard her if she lost her “straight” mask.
That she and her lover, a failed, never made it, wannabe opera diva,
was something in memory's retrospect, equivalent somewhat to a female version of La Cage aux Folles. LOL
Of course I was raised a good Catholic Boy and when I did meet Lois
and Elana I had no direct knowledge of who or what they were or represented. I had a idea of what the situation was but they remained totally behind their masks to me a stranger even if I had a blood connection to Elana of sorts.
So
much of the ignorance of Catholicism about the basic human sex product that had no
source book or words for a modern world moving so quickly and or to help move a shadow
world of the arts with its primary sexuality out of the closet back then.
That in retrospect, I was used as a beard on occasion by Elena and
Lois in public and didn’t even know it until some years afterwards. Till I thought about it as the Gay community and its dictionary of terms and gestures became more public as they came out of their many times tortured closets into the full light of human dignity as the Creator intended it.
Such is my slow perhaps dumb nature of things, of words not in use, in vogue or understanding even into the early 1980s.
All I wanted was some mentoring on my writing and Lois very kindly
gave time to read and advise.
Thank you Lois.
I never made it to your funeral. I was away in Arizona. Had not heard of it at the time. Sorry. RIP
It must have been something, the funeral like your life.

American Town Square – Sense of Community – Lost in the Modern Age?
I was totally struck by the statement in Russell Brand’s youthful
POV in his Guardian article, about the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher and how she broke a “Sense of
Community” along with the Coal Strikers in 1980’s Britain.
That the solidarity that got Britain through a World War with Satan
and his minions literally breathing down their necks was the sense of community
and sacrifice and blind hard work for the cause.
The Brits turned out Churchill after that war because they did all the heavy lifting
in that war and created a sort of socialist state for the benefit of the many
and or the all.
That ideas of Marx were not exclusively communist but like the
earliest traditions of the Christian faith, a community based on common survival
and shared sense of all.
I have written somewhere here or there how I thought of Ronald
Reagan’s breaking of the Air Traffic Controller’s union as Conservative ideologue
and not as fellow American being the root why we could not protect our skies
twenty years later on September 11, 2001.
That losing experience and sense of camaraderie and common purpose and
sticking one’s neck out left us with a scooped out pale reflection of an air
controller’s network that could have been an asset in our national defense but
instead had been turned into some hollowed trophy of Conservative dogma.
That Ronny fed off of Margaret’s actions in Britain and vice versa
in their one upmanship of ways to break humanity in favor of profit and all at
the loss of a sense of national purpose or on a local level a sense of
community that used to exist in the American town square.
That so much rhetoric these days serves as politics and PR drivel as
the ship of state fades from greatness and into the deep forgotten abyss of
history like all past empires etc.
Spilled milk? Or a sense of purpose to redirect our personal goals
if we are a basic Christian and our national goals if our combined sense of ancestry
and common ethic can be re-galvanized into something like the idealized forum
and town squares of our youth?
Is the eventual global town square going to be a great place to meet
and hang out with your global neighbors or is it going to be one cold stone
faced plaza that nobody cares to frequent?

Russell Brand - A Very Interesting Article By Him On Margaret Thatcher - As Mother of the Nation? - "I Felt Sorry for Her Children"
..."What's going on there,
mate?" John asked a nearby chippy loading his white van. "Maggie
Thatcher," he said. "Comes here every week to water them
flowers."
The three of us watched as the gentle horticultural ritual was
feebly enacted, then regarded the Iron Lady being helped into the back of a car
and trundling off. In this moment she inspired only curiosity, a pale phantom,
dumbly filling her day. None present eyed her meanly or spoke with vitriol…
When I was a kid, Thatcher was the
headmistress of our country.
Her voice, a bellicose yawn, somehow both boring
and boring – I could ignore the content but the intent drilled its way in. She
became leader of the Conservatives the year I was born and prime minister when
I was four. She remained in power till I was 15. I am, it's safe to say, one of
Thatcher's children. How then do I feel on the day of this matriarchal mourning?
We are all on our own. Norman Tebbit, one of Thatcher's acolytes and
fellow "Munsters evacuee", said when the National Union of
Mineworkers eventually succumbed to the military onslaught and starvation over
which she presided:
"We didn't just
break the strike, we broke the spell." The spell he was referring to is
the unseen bond that connects us all and prevents us from being subjugated by
tyranny. The spell of community.
Those strikes were confusing to me as a child. All of the Tory
edicts that bludgeoned our nation, as my generation squirmed through ghoulish
puberty, were confusing. When all the public amenities were flogged, the
adverts made it seem to my childish eyes fun and positive, jaunty slogans and
affable British stereotypes jostling about in villages, selling people
companies that they'd already paid for through tax. I just now watched the
British Gas one again. It's like a whimsical live-action episode of Postman Pat
where his cat is craftily carved up and sold back to him.
You could never call Margaret Mother
by mistake. For a national matriarch she is oddly unmaternal. I always felt a
bit sorry for her biological children Mark and Carol, wondering from whom they
would get their cuddles. "Thatcher as mother" seemed, to my tiddly
mind, anathema…
In the Meryl Streep film, The Iron Lady, it's the scenes of
domesticity that appear most absurd. Knocking up a flan for Denis or helping
Carol with her algebra or Mark with his gun-running, are jarring distractions
from the main narrative; woman as warrior queen…
She is an anomaly; a product of the
freak-onomy of her time. Barack Obama, interestingly, said in his statement
that she had "broken the glass ceiling for other women". Only in the
sense that all the women beneath her were blinded by falling shards. She is an
icon of individualism, not of feminism.

Thatcher – Last of the Cold War Triumvirate Antichrist Dies - Eulogy
 |
| Cold War Warriors - Triumvirate - Antichrist? -Thatcher - Reagan - Wojtyla |
It sounds a bit ridiculous. But after we defeated evil in World War
II, we adapted the tactics of our enemies to fight our enemies.
This of course has spiraled in seventy odd
years to corporate wars paid for by U.S. Taxpayers and torture and suspension
of habeas corpus in secret oversea dungeons like Guantanamo.
One has to wonder if Hitler and or the Soviet Union were Satan, then
what equal force of evil was needed to defeat them. In the 1980’s I think of no
other PR force in the media as the Three Part Antichrist of Reagan, Thatcher
and Wojtyla to defeat the thought that people and the production of the people
belongs to the people if only in theory and not practice.
Something about deficit spending on the military, secret Contra wars
against peasants in Central and South America, along with the breaking of unions, workers' rights, and the obliterating of livelihoods of workers in the north of England at the
expense of enriching the wealthy in London and we end up with the Vatican Bank
as the money launderer of western empire and ambitions and the plight of buggered
children ignored by a Moral in Mask Only papacy on marionette strings pulled by
the CIA as three components of evil that live on to this day of these past thirty
years to cause, the source, of so much rot in our social and moral systems.
Was the Soviet Union as evil as the collateral damage caused in the
West to defeat them?
The airwaves yesterday were pretty much filled with the
accomplishments of Margaret Thatcher,the deceased former Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom. She being the last living component of the Triumvirate
Antichrist chosen as acceptable evil to fight so-called evil in the East.
Reading the papers today, apparently she died alone in a hotel room,
an expensive hotel room no doubt at the Ritz. A first class nursing home /
space by any other name. The original press releases gave the impression of her
two children being at her side.
But today, her two children living abroad in
Switzerland and Spain, not liking what Britain has become are being searched
out for PR statements about their arrival at Mummy’s funeral.
One also gets the
impression that the nursing home room at the Ritz may have been the result of
her dear children selling her mansion out from under her in her late stages of
dementia and dumping what was left of the Iron Lady into the care of some
hourly no benefits paid nurse on call at the hotel front desk?
Not a pretty ending to the great woman the press is trying to paint
as the Savior of Britain??? But an ending never the less. We all come to some
end in our end.
I give her the fact of being a woman successful in a man’s world and
making it to the top of the political heap.
No doubt the wussification of the male population in Britain since WWII
was evident in her rise.
She was a harsh lower middle class grocer’s daughter with harsh
lower middle class cares for her white neighbors only in small village Britain
of nostalgic thought. Though I cannot remember seeing her ever shaking the
hands of a Pakistani merchant or grocer in the less Toni sections of London.
The American Cable news yesterday propped her up as part of a reason
to resurrect the tin god of Ronald Reagan from the grave to somehow tout
whatever he was supposedly good at, which I think was deficit spending in face of
the great evil empire of the Soviet Union that one morning simply faded away.
That the collapse first of the Soviet Union under a system of crony
socialism and economic unfairness and inefficiencies merely marked the first
system to collapse.
Our system, that did
not retool for peace after the collapse of the Iron Curtain. Has merely gone on
to invent enemies that we stir up like hornets’ nests by droning them and their
neighbors as collateral damage in a new Cold War like model based on some Pentagon Dr.
Strangelove mindset run amuck on the world stage.
Growing pains of a new global culture?
Thatcher broke the unions and aborted the native coal industry in
favor of outsourcing energy to cheap petroleum imports.
In fact on the coal, energy and union thing, I begin to believe that
one of the important historic aspects of the Harvard Brown Wharton Global
Spreadsheet mentality is that no one from Ivy League colleges or the London
School of Economics in their business models want to get their hands dirty,
create anything, let alone sit down to a table of human beings, union members
and negotiate fair wages and benefits for workers.
This whole global spreadsheet thing is
exporting sweat, dirt and labor further and further down some ladder into hell?
Thatcher did not negotiate. It was not in her nature. In fact the
only good thing she did was challenge the bullies of the Argentine Junta that
stole the Falkland Islands and started that war.
Of course, the world was fast changing
then. A mere thousand dollar off the
rack French Exocet Missile could if it hit the right spot destroy a billion
dollar (a lot of money back then) air craft carrier. But the Brits lucked out with an little bit
of unofficial US spy satellite info and the Junta Generals were a bunch a
morons, tripping over their own medals, after all was said and done.
The Argentinians, the people, got a measure of freedom from dear Margaret’s
middle class shopkeeper demeanor, emphasis on the mean part perhaps. Collateral
damage of Maggie’s war. Lol.
At least somebody benefited besides the rich of England, benefited
from her arrogance and lack of personal humanity to her own greater native peoples
of Britain.
Whatever.
Rest in Peace.
They are going to cremate her. No friendly earth in England to accept
her bones? No safe place to hide from getting pissed on in death in your grave?
Where I wonder will her two brats dump her ashes?

Maggie's Dead Cake Offered Free to People Celebrating in Leeds, Street Party
She transformed, enriched, the Southeast of England (London) at the expense of the rest of Britain.
She robbed the people in the north of their dignity and future in order to Pay the London Financiers!

Sincere Condolences to Reverend Rick Warren of Saddleback Church and his Family on their sudden and tragic loss – (Abide with Me)
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Sam Brownback, A Pagan High Priest of the GOP, risen in the Heartland to Define but Not Able to Create true life – a General All Around Catholic Dick in Kansas
 |
| GOP - The New Pagan Religion Party (Cult) of White Dicks Only Membership? |
George Tiller died a martyr of sorts in 2009 doing his job as a
Doctor that performed a necessary female medical procedure for those women.
Kansas has since been caught up in a wave of
the New Pagan Religionists of the GOP clinging to some long gone, obsolete No Rights
to Anybody except the possessors of White Penises. (We are still talking human
species here?)
Bloody Kansas has a history of killing those who disagree with
you going back to before the Civil War.
People like Sam Brownback got little attention in Washington DC. A
small fish in a big political pond. He
is making good on becoming a big fish in little Kansas and looking
presidential.
Similar to the way the Emperor / god Constantine hijacked Christianity,
the Governor / god Brownback of Kansas wishes to hijack, That Which is God’s by
way of Caesar.
Jesus clearly defined church and state in his God / Caesar statement.
Now that the GOP is a quasi-pagan religion that roots itself without permission
in the vagina of women, so too I question why “men” like Governor Sam
Brownback, obviously are trying to add a metaphoric inch or two to the size of
their erect penis to proclaim “when life begins”.
Life may be begin at “fertilization” or “conception”, strange adding a
phrase like that to the latest abortion bill out of historic Bloody Kansas.
Calling
it “philosophical” leans more to religion than science and more pagan as well
considering the strictest definition of pagan as obscure and rural and you
cannot get much more obscure or rural in fly over country than Kansas.
It is really fucked up in the heartland, fly over country.
Sam
Brownback is not a proper Pagan God, Tin god in fact. Is not Opus Dei, or so he
claims, though his conversion to Pagan Roman Catholicism was in conjunction
with members of that famous RC cult.
One important thing to Opus Dei inspired Pagan tin gods like Sam Brownback - Defining life is not creating life. And over and above that when does a soul appear on the scene in that matter.
I was taught in the glory days of post Vatican Two Roman Catholicism
that the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, were the first man and woman that God,
the Diety, bothered to bestow soul on.
Nothing else in the Bible I think even mentions the exact time and
definition of soul and never will.
So in theory if I went back in time and I killed either Adam or Eve
before they had their God given souls – would I have been technically guilty of
killing an animal or a human being?
This new Pagan God or High Priest of the Pagan GOP religion thing is
defining the beginning of life and may have impressive sounding ingredients
read off a bottle of snake oil but he, Brownback and his Tea Bag Party Legislature, sure as hell does not have the makings of
a genuione real snake oil bottle filled with the true magic elixir by which to bestow soul and or
humanity.
You can take a dick like Sam Brownback out of Washington DC but you
cannot make him human or stop him from being the really same small dick he has always been, city
or rural.

Mark Sanford’s Whore / “Fiancé” Maria Belen Chapur only Charges What an Hour to … South Carolina’s New Argentine S. American Euro-Trash Green Card Queen

Mark Sanford’s whore Maria Belen Chapur only charges Ten Pesos(?) an

Sanford did not identify Chapur as his lover at yesterday’s press conference.
The governor also claimed at yesterday’s bizarre news conferenc that he had “spent the last five days of my life crying in Argentina,” although a source in the country tells the gossip website TMZ.com that Sanford and Chapur were “all over each other” last week in his bar, “kissing, holding hands and drinking wine.”
Chapur is said to be an executive with a (brothel?)…

All Politics, Economics and God(s) are Local in the New Global Cultural Paradigm
I am refining a thought I threw out into the town square / forum some time
back about how the one God worshipped by the Jews Christians and Muslims is not
the one and same God. (Yet)
I now see by some present examples how with politics, economics and
gods, how they are a totally local thing.
The economic crisis in Europe and the domination of the Deutsch
Central Bank of the EU is not unlike the Federal Reserve Bank calling all
economic shots in the US.
Of course the German Central Bank cannot print money
or manipulate it, the Euro, its value of currency based solely like the American Dollar
has placed itself over time at the center of standard world trade value. But
it would if it could in the European situation.
In fact, regarding the locals, the lessers, the Germans do not want
to bail out Greece and or Cyprus, two very small states that it is convenient
in which to impose bully rules and blood interest to make an example to the
larger players in the EU.
All money is local and monetary policy that might only benefit the east and west coasts of the United States by its central bank, at the expense of
the economic life of the heartland or fly over country, is little different than
with Germany at this present time.
Germany, not having won WWII, but is now in control on the
continent of Europe. By hook or by crook.
I now understand twenty years later,
having worked in a German Bank Branch in NYC why the Germans I worked with had
no sense of losing WWII. They only in their minds lost a battle and not the war
to dominate Europe.
So too, this recent Pope Francis thing and the humble thing may be
genuine in his mind, as the Head of the Vatican City State.
His acts and his
gestures are not so much for the poor I think but more a hope of a stimulus and
setting an example, a new beginning in hope of a reboot, to the recently decades long out of control curia, sacred and
answerable to no one it would seem, in the Vatican which does not practice what it preaches.
That they, like, are more worshiping themselves, their penises(?), an
ancient cult(?), and their priest class as the end all of all their religious
mythology and traditions.
Down the fork of a fork of a fork of a fork in a road mistakenly
traveled since Father Martin Luther, who in honest and good faith tried to sell them an accurate map.
That the teachings of Jesus, in that particular Christian sect, are
irrelevant in a modern global secular age and that money and power in dozens of
little turfdoms within the Vatican are strangling any hope of a viable sect church
to survive abuse from above and its trickle down immorality.
I see in a distant Brit Uber-Catholic blog that the unknown Dolan, a
god of sorts perhaps, has revived hope of a short lived Francis by his, the Dolan’s hideous
inhumane, non-human remarks on Easter Sunday of all days to desecrate the hope of the living on. By his telling that Jesus died and rose only for the some, the special, the many(?) but not
the all.
That this local American (tin) god, unknown until recently to the
Britains and Europeans is no longer a local god in Manhattan anymore, or anymore
merely worshiped and supported as a tool by the oligarchs there as their “great
white hope” in global banking.
Pope Timothy I ?
Another 27 year reign of a JPII ? coming down the pike boys???
He is now a superstar in waiting and unchallenged by the media in
the depth of his capacity for inhumanity dished out with Easter ham.
I suppose Francis is good for at least 34 days in his reign. Two
weeks more to go for that record.
Lest the masses see a pattern in the death of popes that want to
abolish the Vatican Bank, interfering with sacred global trade, and dare I say
it, causing a return to the true teachings of Jesus aka the Christ.

In Cardinal Timothy Dolan’s Bed – a History of “Friends”, Rock, Roy and the FBI at the Infamous Historic (B&B) Pink Bishop’s Palace NYC
 |
| The original "Rock" |
Those protective subterfuges were occurring during the "red witch-hunts" led by Senator Joseph McCarthy through the House Un-American Activities Committee, a campaign that spread from exposing "commies" to exposing "queers" in government, a dangerous time Hofler vividly evokes.
Even the FBI became involved in an investigation of Hudson's sex activities, despite the fact that insiders knew that FBI head J. Edgar Hoover was gay and, it was steadfastly rumored, had appeared at a New Year's eve party in drag with his friend Cardinal Spellman. The bully at McCarthy's right hand was Roy Cohn, who eventually died of AIDS, and who, during the hearings to expose "commies and queers," was accompanied by his lover, David Schine.
Exposure was not the only reason for hiding. A sex act in private between consenting adults was punishable with years in prison. Men dancing with men in clubs might be arrested for "lewd conduct." A vice raid on an innocuous pajama party netted Arthur Gelien, who five years later became Tab Hunter.
Wily maneuvers witnessed by this reviewer were needed to overcome such arrests. In a club in Topanga Canyon, lights flashing off and on warned same-sex couples on the dance floor to shift partners. Gay men would dance with lesbians, a legal coupling.
Thwarting a raid by provoking embarrassment, the pianist in a Hollywood gay bar would burst into the strains of the bridal march when a cop and a member of the shore patrol were identified walking down the stairs together like a couple.
