GranolaFag Weekly

So much of the environmental movement is made up of little people doing little things to make the world a better place that sometimes we can’t see the forest for the trees, so to speak. The big-name guys like Greenpeace, the ELF, and the JMMMO get a ton of good press (despite the corporate-controlled media’s hatred of them) but the little guy who works hard to make a difference often goes unnoticed. That’s why I’ve decided to periodically recognize “Everyday Heroes,” people that deserve recognition.

The first in this series is a guy from Texas who runs a site called marmay.net. He has done an excellent job of documenting his progress installing a hydrogen fuel cell in his personal automobile. The difference is he’s doing a “homemade” system that doesn’t cost thousands of dollars. He is very thorough and seems very smart. He isn’t deterred by the fact that “mainstream science” says what he is doing is impossible, he’s showing “mainstream science” that he knows better.

Thank you, guy from Texas. The world is a better place because of you.

It has been a few months since my last update (I’ve had some “personal issues”) but I’m coming back strong. I don’t care what anyone says, I have a dream and I know people out there want to hear about it.

Look out corporate America, GranolaFag is back in town and infection-free!

From CO-ED Magazine

Hillary Clinton has been having a lesbian affair with her top female aide, the sexy Huma Abedin.

This has been know to “insiders” for years, but now major media outlets are starting to acknowledge the butch elephant in the room.

Some say this will kill her Presidential hopes, but I don’t think so. I think America is ready to accept a same-oriented leader. We’re obviously fed up with the right-wing Jesus-loving “traditional” one we have now, why not embrace change?

From The L.A. Times

The Senate today approved a long-debated measure that would expand the federal hate crime law to cover violence against gays, and in an unusual gambit to make it difficult for President Bush to carry out his veto threat, attached it to a defense bill.

It’s about freakin’ time! How many of us would still be alive if this had been passed 10 years ago? It disgusts me.

I realize this isn’t really on-topic for GFW, but it’s something I feel strongly about (watch out for gay marriage news, too!) and something I feel is critically important to this country. For too long gay men and women have been victims to senseless, hateful violence at the hands of ignorant homophobes and rednecks.

Being a gay man in today’s US isn’t easy. If you survive the job discrimination, the constant harassment, the lack of political representation (until Hillary gets to be President!), the physical violence, and the outright persecution, you still face horrors of AIDS and the loneliness caused by the closure of all the decent gay clubs in this country. Not many people know what it’s like to live like that, especially the racist a-holes that make the laws.

The bill’s supporters said they hope the hate-crime legislation is included in a final defense bill. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), who has championed the legislation, noted that no president has ever vetoed a defense authorization bill. “We’re very hopeful that the president will sign it,” he said.

Ha! It’s so sweet that they attached a piece of good legislation to one of the President’s war-mongering bills. Try and veto that, George! You’d have to withdraw the troops from Iraq and Lord know we can’t have that! If Iraq was peaceful instead of overrun by your terrorizing hate troops I don’t know what we would do!</sarcasm>
