Post a Comment On: Vigilance

How far they've fallen! While researching some numbers to respond to a comment -- I wonder how many times the Citizens for a Responsible Whatever have called me a liar! -- I wanted to find the big "Victory" page where they announced that they had collected enough signatures to force a referendum to re-legalize discrimination last year. Remember? It had pictures of them smiling and holding up happy signs at the Board of Elections office. That was before more than half the signatures were thrown out because of all the forgeries and irregularities on their petitions. I wanted to see if they reported the total number of signatures they had submitted. I wanted to get my facts right.

So I went to their web site, http://notmyshower.net/. This is the URL they used in all their publicity through the campaign.

Oh my.

Flying under the radar, the shower-nuts, also known as Citizens for Responsible Government, have deserted our dear English language. It appears they are speaking Dutch now. They say things like:
Jezelf inschrijven als nieuw lid bij Party Casino kan winstgevend zijn. Gebruik de PartyCasino Bonus Code en je zal een ongeloofelijke Welkomst Bonus krijgen die je ergens anders niet tegen zal komen.
Do you think all Republicans are secretly learning a new language, are they planning on making Americans speak Dutch, if they can ever win an election again? Is this the "new world order" they're always talking about? Am I the last one to figure it out?

And you should see what they're promoting. It appears to be a game called Party Casino that you can download ... I think that's what this says:
Download de software en voer de Party Casino Bonus Code BNL200 in om een 100% bonus te ontvangen bij je eerste storting tot op $200 in cash.
I don't speak this language, but I think I can guess what "$200 in cash" means. I'll even take a stab at "download de software."

I am reading about Party Casino. I see that it is "regulated and licensed by the Government of Gibraltar, which is a member of the EU." That doesn't sound shady at all, does it? The government of Gibraltar makes laws to be enforced on one rock. The shower-nuts' game has "video pokers, Blackjack variations, Caribbean Stud, Pai Gow, 3-card poker and some of the best slots games on the net." A guy won a million dollars playing it.

This is shocking. Having failed to successfully promote discrimination in our county when more than half the signatures they submitted were rejected, the shower-nuts are trying to make a buck on casino games. Somebody send them a couple of dollars, will you? This is too sad.

(Some readers might have been around when the CRW told the school board that the school district was allowing "the gay-straight club at Walter Johnson High School to use the school's Internet web address to meet sexy, single gay men for dating, romance, and more." Refresh your memory HERE. It's something about "glass houses.")
