Horror Porn & Voter Fraud
Post Halloween Smut: Some of you may have caught the holiday-themed reviews from earlier in the week. In honor of Halloween I reviewed a couple of flicks that can only be described as horror-porn. The XXXorcist and Porn of the Dead. They were both interesting, but a challenge to review. Are they meant to be standard porn flicks viewed by guys (mostly) with their pants around their ankles like a typical Anabolic/Red Light/Evil Angel flick? If that is their core purpose, then I think they both miss the boat. Are they good jerk off films? Not especially. They are both too niche-oriented for that. Sure there are people who will find the religious themes in XXXorcist to be a turn on. I get that, but I also know that this core audience is smaller than say, the core for a movie about chicks with big boobs. When you whittle it down to people who want to jerk off to a movie with serious religious aspects and where the performers are rooting around in a puddles of what is supposed to be green vomit AND where the female talent is done up in realistic, gory make-up and you probably have a target audience about as big as the one for K-Fed’s new CD. In Porn of the Dead it was even narrower. Zombies getting fucked, biting cocks off, insane chicks being sodomized even corpses getting drilled. Are there people who want to jerk off to this? Sure there are, but probably not many. Are there people who just dig the combination of graphic horror action with hard core sex? No doubt. I just imagine that both of these movies are more popular with people who want something to put on in the background at a party. (Ironically enough that is what a recent defender of alt-porn said was the appeal of that genre.) Personally I think that a good feature can combine porn and horror. It just takes a little more creativity than is offered in Porn of the Dead and perhaps a bit less vomit than in XXXorcist. Thoughts? Weigh in folks.

Scary Political Reality: As someone who has worked the polls several times in recent years I have written quite a bit about the need for better voter fraud prevention. With current systems in place it is just way to freaking easy for someone to register more than once, vote more than once, vote as someone else, block someone from voting or vote when not eligible. New stories about voter fraud in Missouri have raised some very serious issues. (Read More on this story on CBS News) According to recent stories, ACORN has registered as many as 35,000 voters in the St. Louis area in the past few months. According to new reports this week, up to 40% of those may be fraudulent. The group has registered several people more than once, turned in fraudulent change of address forms for Republican voters and in a handful cases, registered dead people. This kind of organized effort to commit voter fraud is not a partisan issue. I am certain that both parties are guilty of it (though a cursory search of news sites didn’t give me a story to site.) All of this just proves that we have to do something to protect the vote. A few months back, Democrats voted to block a national policy requiring people to show ID when they vote. Just two weeks ago the Missouri State Supreme Court struck down a similar law requiring ID in that state. (Because State ID can cost as much as $15.00) The proposed federal law would have funded the required ID to take away this concern, but Democrats stopped it. I don’t think it is unfair for us to wonder why? Wouldn’t such ID requirements put an end to the sort of blatant fraud that ACORN is committing? If not out of fear that vote fraud scams like this one (and the one recently uncovered in New York where better than 1700 votes cast by dead people were found in the last election) they why oppose such a voter protection bill? With all the political crap being tossed around isn’t this one issue that we should care about? Is this one fucked up thing we can fix? Reaction? Comment?
…and cue the crickets from the poli-cheer sites……

Ann Coutler’s Voting Problems: Oddly enough the Ann Coulter voting story is getting more run on the old school news sites and of course the poli-cheer sites. Apparently she voted in the wrong precinct in Florida. I’m not sure how it works in Florida, but such voting is generally done by Provisional ballot in California. Of course if one reads the story a little closer, one finds out that the problem comes from the fact that Ann didn’t respond to letters seeking to clarify her address. Pretty stupid, but no actual allegation of fraud here.
