Uncle Ted Is Dead and Ground Zero May Get A Little Fabulous
“Uncle” Ted Stevens, former Alaskan Senator died yesterday in a plane crash. Stevens was largely railroaded by the Department of Justice on corruption charges in 2008. A few months later the Justice Dept. dropped the charges and the prosecutors in the case were charged with misconduct. Not that Uncle Ted was a paragon of political integrity and responsibility as he was almost single handedly responsible for steering untold billions away from the Lower 48 and making Alaska the highest per capita recipient of federal funds in the country. Requiescat in Pace Uncle Ted.
In other news it has come to my attention that Fox News personality and former magazine editor Greg Guttfeld is seriously planning on building a gay bar next door to the “Ground Zero Mosque” that will cater to both Western and Muslim homosexuals. This strikes me as the perfect non-governmental response to this issue. I have, on a few occasions gone to gay bars with some of my better dressed friends (where I stuck out like … well, like a straight guy at a gay bar) and so if I ever find myself in NYC I will have to stop in for a drink or two. No doubt Bill Schlutz will practically LIVE there.
