Meanwhile, scandals continue to play the Republican campaign. Ted Haggard, also known as Pastor Ted has had to resign this holds of America's biggest evangelical Christian church.
After admitting that some of the claims about him having sex with a male prostitute and taking drugs were true. Just some of them, mind you. According to the male prostitute, however, Ted Haggard or Pastor Ted had sex with him every month for three years while simultaneously preaching about the sin of same sex marriages or civil unions and voting against them. This This, of course, on the back of Senator Monica Bowie, the man who helped draft the laws against soliciting sex from minors through electronic communications, said salacious texts and emails to young boys working at the White House.
Both of these people, Mr. Foley and Mr. Haggard. Could both personal cookbooks close personal friends of Mr.
Bush, Senator Foley being one of the inner circle of Republican Neo cons it all boys, those old gays, gays were a problem. Yes, sir. Is it past exam? This is sin.
I tell you. Oh, yes. You say Mr. Fuller.
That's a terrible, terrible sin. Terrible. It's a terrible sin. I can just picture those weekly meetings.
As to Ted giving it to Bush up the ass. Well, Bush sucks. Foley's knob. Oh
yeah, all what a sin it is. What a sin. It is such a simple Pastor Ted, tell me about the sin. All the while I suck on bullies.
Then my bully turns the president round gives it to Bush up the axilla he sucks Ted Haggard's pastor can stay on. Also in the news this week, Senator Kerry's gaffa bank and military and education carry on a tour of university said you folks study hard, get a good education or you could end up stuck in Iraq. A great for raw arose in response to this with people claiming Kennedy should apologize to the military.
Mr. Bush, President Bush went on television thumping the table saying I can assure you, the men and women of our military are indeed very intelligent. Yeah, that might be just I wonder how many people with a degree in philosophy are claiming into a Humvee to spray the Iraqi population with hot lead this weekend, do you I could turn to the great mysteries of the universe. Or I could climb into a fighter bomber drop bombs on the innocent men and women of countries far away from my home.
See, give this some thought. I can just imagine all those people studying hard for their English Literature degree thinking. What light through yonder window breaks? Tis the dawn and time to get up and have fun with some hot lag know where I'm coming from.
And finally, in the news this week in the UK, Tony Blair, who commissioned a special report into global warming welcomed the author Mr. Stern's announcement that global warming was a serious jeopardy.

That's right. We can still have growth. We can still have cars, we can still have houses, we can still have giant power stations, shops illuminating the streets all night. 24 hour pizzerias. We can still live like the decadent assholes we are while the rest of the world perishes, starves drones and chokes on the fumes we make from our useless products.
The only reason we're making all this fucking stuff is to make some people rich you stupid brainless fuckers as the only answer to climate change his progress, make more stuff and pay more taxes. Let's keep chopping down the trees. Let's keep pulling the fish out of the sea. None of that fucking matters as long as the stuff in the shop you bring dead fucking morons.
Now for the weather, the planet sparks. It's your responsibility and it's getting worse. Have a nice weekend.
Themes in this episode
Analysis essay
This episode lands just before the 2006 U.S. midterm elections, when Republican control of Congress was threatened by Iraq, corruption, and sex scandals. Ted Haggard, president of the National Association of Evangelicals and pastor of New Life Church, had just resigned after allegations from male escort Mike Jones involving sex and methamphetamine. The Mark Foley congressional page scandal was also still damaging Republicans, while John Kerry’s “stuck in Iraq” remark had become a campaign weapon. In Britain, Nicholas Stern’s climate report had warned that global warming could cause massive economic damage, with Blair using it to argue for urgent action.
Deek’s parody attacks hypocrisy as the governing principle of respectable politics. Evangelical anti-gay moralism becomes a closeted sex farce; Foley’s role in child-protection law becomes obscene contradiction; and Bush’s Christian-right circle is imagined as a grotesque orgy of sin-denouncing sinners. The Kerry segment satirizes patriotic outrage: Deek suggests the military is not where society’s philosophers and literature students usually end up, turning the insult back toward class, education, and recruitment.
The recurring FKN themes are fake choice, fake morality, militarism, and capitalism’s ability to absorb every crisis. Democrats and Republicans are “two flavors” managing the same rich people’s system. The Stern Review climate story becomes another Deek target because the proposed answer is taxes and managed economic growth, not a real break with consumer civilization. As usual, the show treats official politics as theater: scandal distracts, war continues, and even planetary emergency is translated into revenue, policy branding, and obedience.
