Dude, I'm sorry, but I see no connection...I think you're just looking for things to attack Kobe on but because you don't really have anything, you come up with these weak arguments. I recommend doing some more research, quite frankly.

i wasn't trying to argue. i was asking you if you think kobe didn't play because he's nervous about the trial or if he's really hurt. -Pat

Considering that the whole reason he was in Colorado to begin with was because of his leg getting fixed up, I would say that that is quite a legit answer. His leg probably got fucked up again or something. I seriously doubt he's "afraid" of the trial.

Hey everyone, this is going to be a busy week. My Senate article, which normally would have been in the Daily 49er last Thursday is in today's issue. In addition, I have my usual opinion piece this week, as well as another Senate article on Thursday.
Anyway, to read the article on the Armenian genocide and what it has to do with the CSULB Senate, either go to the Daily 49er\'s site or my site .

My opinion piece this Tuesday, by the way, is one of my best to date, so expect to see that waiting on this message board soon! Don't miss it!

Hey everyone, my Opinion page piece for the week is up and it deals with why General Wesley Clark should NOT be voted in as our next president in 2004. I think this is one of my best articles to date! Read the article at the Daily 49er\'s website or my website !

Until next time!

Hey everyone, just writing to tell you to be sure to listen to me on K-Beach on "Lisa's Honest Show" tonight from 10:00pm-12:00am PST!!! To tune in, simply go to http://www.kbeach.org and click the link that says "Listen Now"! Additionally, my friend Scott will be coming on, so it is sure to be a laugh-bang riot. Don't forget!

Hey everyone, my new Senate article is up, and it focuses on a group of students from the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Resource Center that went and spoke to the Senate yesterday. It can be found on the Daily 49er\'s site and my site .

Until next week!

Alright, I don't understand why gays, bisexuals, and transvestites are always looking for support from a certain society. Every time I see them on TV or read about them in the newspaper, it's either because they're critiizing someone or a group, or because they feel that they need more support from the public for being gay. If they want to be gay or anything else, let it be. They don't need to tell straight people how to treat them. We don't tell them how to treat us. I don't think smashing up Eminem CD's or getting support from the Senate is going to make a difference on how people look at them. Some of us have no problems with gays, while some of us do. I think it all depends on who you are. For me, if I know a guy who's gay but still acts like he's a regular guy and doesn't wear a tube top or talk like a girl, then I'm fine with that. But when it gets to the point where a gay tries to make a move on yourself (and your straight) or when a transvestite looks at you strangely, it gives you a nervous feeling. -Pat

Does that happen often? Maybe you're giving the wrong signals. Or hanging around the wrong places.

i don't know if that was supposed to be a smart comment or not, but no it doesn't. but i've known straight people who have had gay people do that to them. -Pat

Patrick - The reason an LGBT group exists is because society makes them feel weird to be different from everyone else. I don't have any ill will toward gays, and sometimes I do think they go to far (like the Eminem CD fiasco), but you have to see where they are coming from. Also, the reason us straight people aren't telling them how to treat us is because we don't get discriminated against! When was the last time you heard about a straight hate crime?

Turi Giuliano - Yeah, I think he is giving wrong signals!

Nice article HSiG.

Patrick, I am sure it is annoying to you that someone else is demanding their "rights" all the time. But simply NOT getting rights is likely even more frustrating to them. They want to be granted the SAME rights as everyone else. Not DIFFERENT ones. Not SPECIAL ones.

Have I been hit on by a lesbian? LOTS of times. I've been hit on my pimply-faced adolescents and old icky letches too. Should I hate all males for it? Am I hot stuff? No. Simply, there are people in all walks of life that will hit on someone else be they gay or straight. As long as you are comfortable with your own sexual orientation I do not see how this would threaten you. "No thanks" and move on.

First up, I have a second article in today's paper about last week's Senate meeting. It was just so jam-packed with content, I had to write two articles about it! To read it, go to either the Daily 49er\'s site or my site .

Secondly, there is a LETTER TO THE EDITOR regarding last week's Wesley Clarke critique. Read what this guy has to say, you'll die laughing after the first paragraph's ass-kissing of Wesley Clarke. Read it at the Daily 49er\'s site .

Until my next Opinion article on Tuesday!

Hey folks, just writing this to let you all know that my Opinion piece for the week is up. This one deals with everyone's favorite year-2000 presidential election loser, Al Gore. I'm confident you guys will like this one!
Read it either at the Daily 49er\'s website or at my website .

Until next time!

Hey everyone, just writing to let you know that my new Senate article is up...the Senate finally voted on the Armenian genocide resolution. Read the coverage either at the Daily 49er\'s site or at my site .

Until next week!

Hey everyone, today's column deals with a man many of you have probably never heard of, but he will make your blood boil once you read about him. This is an article not to be missed! Read it either at the Daily 49er\'s website or at my website .

Until next time!

What a jackass. This is almost as bad as that picture we had on here a few months ago of someone holding a U.S.A. flag up with anti-american slogans on it. I wish there was a way people like this could be kicked out of the country or jailed. This guy, in my eyes, is a traitor. -Pat

I sure as hell would not want him fighting next to me in a war!

Hey everyone, my new Associated Students Senate artice is up! To read it go to either the Daily 49er\'s site or my site .

Until next week!

Hey everyone, this is a great start to the week! There are not only two letters to the editor about my last article on David Rovics but also a mention of me in a separate letter! This is what I live for ladies and gentlemen, as you know. To read the letters go to the Daily 49er\'s website (note: the first two letters are rebuttals to last week's article on David Rovics and the last letter "Different Strokes" makes a quick mention of yours truly).

Hey everyone, my article for the week is up and it is guaranteed to make you laugh! It is about Michael Jackson and his bizarre lifestyle, but more specifically, the bizarro-freaks that support him! To read it, go to either the Daily 49er\'s site or my site . What is funny is that the Daily 49er did not want to print Kobe Bryant's alleged accuser, Katelyn Faber, yet they had no problem printing Michael Jackson's alleged accuser, Gavin Arvizo...maybe it was because that special was seen by an approximate 27-million people? Eh, that still doesn't dispute the fact that Faber's name is in the public domain and is readily available, but oh well.
Until next time!

Hey everyone, I hope your Thanksgiving was great! Anyway, my Opinion page column for the week is up and it is a funny one. It deals with celebrities and their often humorous and ridiculous poltical opinions...this kind of stuff is always great fodder for my articles. To read it, go to either the Daily 49er\'s site or my site .

Until Thursday's Senate article!

Only one problem with it, why did you leave out your arch enemy Michael Moore?

Mainly because I've already devoted numerous articles to the slime that is Michael Moore and it goes without saying that I can't stand the fat fuck.

Hey everyone, just letting you all know that my Senate article for the week is up. One of the professors mentioned in the article might not be too happy about what I said about him but hey, he was the one who said it, and when you speak in a governmental forum, nothing is off the record. You'll see what I mean when you read it at either the Daily 49er\'s site or at my site .

Until next week!

Well folks, that time has come again, and it has happened so fast it hard to believe it is here. This is the last normal week for the Daily 49er, as finals are next week, so I felt it appropriate to write my obligatory "end-of-the-semester-thank-you-list". I thank all of you for putting up with my weekly (sometime daily) posts, and it means a lot to me that so many of you read them and then click the links to read the articles. I still have an article or two left this semester, with the Senate meeting and all, but the Opinion page articles are what the people really like. Thanks again for reading them and I can't wait to do it again next semester! And keep your eyes peeled on this article, since you just might have been thanked personally in it!
Read it either at the Daily 49er\'s site or at my site .

Until Thursday's Senate article!

Hey everyone, no Senate article for today (the Daily 49er gave me the day off), but there will be a small article by me in Monday's paper. I will, as usual, send out an email then!

Until Monday!

Hey everyone, the final Daily 49er for the semester has a short article in it by me, and it regards the budget cuts many UC- and CSU- schools will face. For some reason, the Daily 49er website didn't upload it, so you can see it at my website .

Thanks again for reading all my columns this semester, I appreciate it and it means a lot to me! Until next semester, folks! Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to all and to all a good winter vacation!

Hey everyone, school has started again which means that you will start receiving my weekly/bi-weekly/sometimes daily emails to flood your email box again...lucky you!

My first two articles of the semester are up and can be found at my website and the Daily 49er's website (well, sort of). It seems that there was a miscommunication and my first Opinion page article was in the paper on January 21, when nobody was back at school yet! I'm still trying to figure out why, exactly, a paper was printed then, but nobody seemed to know. My editor then called me today asking where a new article and I thought they hadn't printed that one yet! Therefore, I did not turn in an article this week, so on Wednesday you will be treated to an article from the Gerry Wachovsky vault that got printed in Summer of 2003 but went unnoticed.

That being said, my newest Opinion page article is only available on my website...it was never posted on the Daily 49er's website. To read it go to my website .
Also, you can read my first Senate article at either my website or the Daily 49er\'s website .

Welcome back and happy new year mate. I keep getting page cannot be found for your opinion page article Gerry
