When all else fails - "IT WAS THE GAYS"

I swear being gay has allowed me to see this desperate last ditch political attempt to HANG on to a political life across nations, political dispensations, languages and colour barriers.

Nothing unites a despotic-bigot internationally like blaming their failures on homosexuals.

Generally it is their last political stop:

I will provde examples in time to come... but lets start with the most recent despotic -tick-tock, the last of the couting on the clock, when there's nothing left but gays to blame, to spin a distraction from their complete failure:

George W Bush, the US president, will promote a constitutional ban on gay marriage on the eve of a Senate vote next week, weighing in on an issue that could rally his wavering conservative base in an election year.

Though the proposed constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage stands little chance of passing, it is one of several hot-button causes Republicans are championing to appeal to right-wing voters ahead of November's congressional ballot.

Bush planned to use his weekly radio address on Saturday and a White House speech yesterday to push for the amendment that would allow states to recognise only marriages between men and women, administration officials said.

Bush usually reticent about views
Bush has never made a secret of his views on the issue but has rarely talked about it in public until now. "He believes the institution of marriage is between a man and a woman," Tony Snow , the White House spokesperson told reporters. "The president's made it clear what he wants. He would like to see the Senate pass the bill."

The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the amendment along party lines after a heated session on May 18 - because the measure seeks to change the Constitution, it must pass both houses of Congress by a two-thirds majority and then be approved by at least 38 states.

The full Senate will take up the measure on Monday with a vote expected later in the week, but the bill's sponsor, Colorado Republican Wayne Allard, has acknowledged he has far fewer than the 67 votes needed to win passage. - Reuters



The US military investigated building a "gay bomb", which would make enemy soldiers "sexually irresistible" to each other, government papers say.

Other weapons that never saw the light of day include one to make soldiers obvious by their bad breath.

The US defence department considered various non-lethal chemicals meant to disrupt enemy discipline and morale.

The 1994 plans were for a six-year project costing $7.5m, but they were never pursued.

The US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, sought Pentagon funding for research into what it called "harassing, annoying and 'bad guy'-identifying chemicals".

The plans were obtained under the US Freedom of Information by the Sunshine Project, a group which monitors research into chemical and biological weapons.

'Who? Me?'

The plan for a so-called "love bomb" envisaged an aphrodisiac chemical that would provoke widespread homosexual behaviour among troops, causing what the military called a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale.
