TO DO LIST
All right, people, you’ve got three assignments today:
1. Emboldened by their victories on November 2, evangelical Christians suddenly think they’re all 800-pound gorillas. Eight-hundred pounds they may be–what with the copious amount of deep-fried Twinkies they consume–but that doesn’t give them license to bully the rest of America. (They should leave such things to their dear Commander-in-Chief.) In particular:
- The American Family Association is pushing hard against Procter & Gamble, alleging that the company is inherently evil for promoting tolerance in its workplace and advertising on shows that reach its desired customers. Counteract the AFA boycott by calling P & G Chairman A.G. Lafley at 513 983 1100 and telling him that you support their endeavors to promote equality and will continue to buy P & G products. Encourage your friends and family to do the same.
- The AFA is also working hard to nix Senator
PhilArlen Specter, a rare voice of Republican reason, from leading the Senate Judiciary Committee. Please call your senator–especially if s/he is on this list–and urge them to support Senator Specter’s bid for chairmanship. If you don’t know how to reach your senator, visit www.congress.org for email and phone information. [Thanks, Tyler, for the correction. Apparently, I had rock and/or roll on my mind this morning.]
2. On a less politically divisive note, if you’re in New Orleans this evening, why not join the [allegedly] cool kids for a screening of Ed Wood’s long-lost porn film Necromania at 8:00pm at One Eyed Jacks, 615 Toulouse Street? You can enjoy a beer, a smoke, and a host of other vices as the boyfriend proves once and for all that Mr. Wood may not be the worst director of all time, but he’s surely the most demented.
