People have lost their retirement nest eggs via the corruption of money-grubbing corporate executives, investment execs lined select intracompany pockets under the guise of "bonuses" and the government says that my generation may not be able to collect Social Security because the pockets we've been paying into have a little bit of change left along with a lot of lint.  Our retirement benefits have dried up and the best excuse the government can come up with is that people are living longer and there is nothing left for the "Baby Boomers" (guilty as charged).  Say whaaaat?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's supposed to go like this: we pay out the ass to IRS and we pay an almost equal amount for FICA....which means, based on our income, the government gets 30% or more of our sweat and blood during our employed life. Each generation pays into the Social Security pool which provides benefits for the previous generation. Hey!  I have 2 sons paying a shitload into FICA so don't tell me my benefits won't exist when it comes time for me to sit on previously mentioned tired ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well now!  The revelation has begun.  We're being enlightened.  Our benefits are in jeopardy because...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  Teachers and other public servants are being screwed over while our elected public officials give themselves hefty raises and hefty retirement plans. Their benefits are coming from OUR money &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  Insurance companies are screwing their customers by gouging and/or defrauding the medical field which drives up the cost of health care which drives up the cost of insurance.  After all the gouging it still wasn't enough for insurance companies to continue in the lifestyle they are accustomed to so the government gives them OUR money.  AIG needed it so they could party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.  Auto manufacturers only toyed, half seriously, with fuel alternatives so now they are falling on their once plump asses. That's called fucking yourself in the ass. They may need a government bailout which comes from OUR money.  Here's a clue: when the government refuses to tap into our country's own fuel supplies make a damned vehicle we can drive by farting, if necessary.  Our tired asses have already been exposed so we're good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.  Oil companies like Exxon and Chevron made whopping record breaking profits in 2008.  These profits were made by screwing us.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note to government:  When it comes time to bail out the auto industry, try screwing Exxon's ass instead of mine, mmmmmkay?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.  WHAT THE FUCK?! Banks have been screwing us for years in the form of "creative" charges and now they are running out of money?  Note to Banks: You're running out of money because people now cash their payroll checks at WalMart for $3.00 to avoid the "creative" holds you're putting on checks (even local ones) so you can play with your customers' money for a few days (making bad investments)....and collect more "creative" overdraft charges.  The only customers you have left are companies in deep shit and check cashing companies.  I quit letting you screw ME directly but the government found a way to give you more of MY money anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.  Wall Street screwed everybody so the government bails it out with OUR money.  Wall Street borrowed OUR money to pay their employee bonuses.  Were the bonuses given as rewards for screwing US and duping the government?  The new President punishes the assholes with harsh words (no disrespect intended).  I dub this a triple cluster fuck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now I know why the age to collect 100% of my Social Security benefits has been raised.  After bending us over at every turn, the government is banking on us dying soon from Hypothermia of the Ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, here's a crack (snort) for those handling my money.  Will you please take your damned hands out of my pockets when you neither asked me for help nor let me have a vote.  Chances are we'd all contribute a fair share in order to beat this crisis but you're giving OUR money to the same assholes who got us to this point.  Cork their crevices permanently and replace the idiots with hardworking people who have lost their jobs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes harsh words aren't enough and I need my money for the next Clay Aiken Tour and/or CD.  Clay Aiken is the best way I know to warm my heart .....and my cold, tired ass.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-5963734639617699459?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/5963734639617699459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=5963734639617699459' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/5963734639617699459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/5963734639617699459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2009/01/ass-by-any-other-name.html' title='An Ass by Any Other Name!'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-1265829939392377371</id><published>2008-12-09T05:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T12:14:17.323-08:00</updated><title type='text'>"Everyday is a Winding Road"</title><content type='html'>My name is Sherry and these are my feelings; I own them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been a while since I blogged but I chalk that up to being extremely busy in my work and in my real life for many months, not to the many twists and turns on the track under the Claytrain.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's get this straight first:  "Oh Crap" is Sherry and nobody else and especially not one of the most innocent of fans who bore the brunt of accusations for being the mouth behind the keyboard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Continuing forward:  I have a lot to say and so little time.  Over the years I have heard many Clay Aiken fans say that it's never easy being a Clay fan but, personally, I think it really is.  This man possesses an incomparable talent, many talents actually. He's a natural comedian, he can act and he is a singer extraordinaire. The voice and the smile captured my heart years ago at the onset of AI-2 and the Clay love exploded from there in baby steps.  There was the gleam in that sea of green eyes which expressed his absolute joy in singing, then a glimpse into a soul who was so accepting of everyone in spite of the painful rejections he experienced throughout his short lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what else has exposure to Clay Aiken done for me personally? What have I learned from his goodness?  Refer back to "so much to say and so little time".  Acceptance of those who are, in some way, different from me or mine?  Never a problem for me!  TOLERANCE has always been my biggest issue especially when it involves the kind of pathological cruelty I've witnessed the last 2+ years.  I lack tolerance for cruelty and I own that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, Self, what underlying issues are you getting at?  Let's start with the subject of .... ta daaaa.... Gay Folk.  Did I ever have an issue with that prior to the attack on Clay Aiken?  I answer with a bonifide, "HELL NO!"  The friends I have who happen to be Gay have only EVER shown me their zest for life, their flare for beauty and their desire to love and be loved in return.  A former boss and good friend is Gay and, like Clay, he is gorgeous right down to the caps on his teeth.  Being my boss and my friend, I met many other "Gay Folk"... like the couple who bought a house via the old FHA 203K whereby you buy a relic in a target neighborhood and fix it up.  As this couple were getting ready to have the final escrow money released to do the finishing touches before moving in they brought in photos of the before and after of this immense Victorian house.  These men created something so beautiful that I teared up and then I realized that there was so much beauty in themselves that they brought their personal canvas to life.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't know, until recently, that there could be such an ugly side.  I didn't know that there are people who would go out of their way to promote division and hatred, not only toward themselves but toward the entire Gay Community.  Why is that?  Is it residual hatred for oneself?  I was falling victim to that division thinking I would never again be able to trust a Gay friend, never again be able to "TOLERATE" them because of the cruelty I'd seen, never again be able to expect the truth from them because of the lies being told about the fandom.  We're not all "right wing", we're not all fanatical Christians who see things as our way and the wrong way.  The Clay Nation is a mixture of right, left, gay, straight, multiple religious beliefs and those who aren't religious in any way.  Those in the fandom who have no religion believe in the system of "Do No Harm" which is as honorable as those of us who TRY to turn the other cheek.  The bond for this melting pot of beliefs has always been Clay Aiken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so where and what is the conclusion to this diatribe?  Here goes!  I've had many months to think about it but until the last couple of days I haven't concentrated on it.  I have a new granddaughter diagnosed with the genetic disorder called Cornelia de Lange Syndrome.  She's cute as a button and only shows the characteristic of the unibrow which can easily be plucked when she gets older.  This is a new strain all her own and, luckily, not as severe.  This syndrome is not something that is inherited; it's a mutation of a gene during the gestation period.  Neither I nor my son have ever asked, "Why me? Why us? Why Sophia Isabella?"  We just love her and that's all that's required.  If my son ever asks me why this happened to him or why his daughter my answer would be this:  I have always taught you how important it is to be color blind, to see uniqueness not differences.  Who better to be blessed and entrusted with the well being of a little one who needs a little extra than the most gentle giant of a man that you are.  God or fate chose the right father.  He could only be YOU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in conclusion, how is this relative to Clay Aiken?  There was a brief moment where I asked God and friends at Chexxxy's Place (I'm not an openly, overzealous religious being but everyone needs a kick from above now and then) for a sign, some sort of proof, some inkling of hope that would take away the animosity and restore my faith in those who are Gay.  Clay Aiken was the answer God gave me.  Like my son, who better?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-1265829939392377371?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/1265829939392377371/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=1265829939392377371' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/1265829939392377371'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/1265829939392377371'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2008/12/everyday-is-winding-road.html' title='&quot;Everyday is a Winding Road&quot;'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-8608597035612395540</id><published>2008-06-02T08:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-02T10:18:03.445-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A New Dawn</title><content type='html'>Out of respect for Clay Aiken and the fandom, this blog will be launching itself in a new direction now instead of later, away from attention seekers who mean nothing to me, nothing to Clay and nothing to the fandom.  There are some things that are just not important to me anymore as you may have noted from 4 months of NOT blogging.  There is no magic wand to change bad people into good so I'll just delight in knowing that the bad will devour their young and themselves when starved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure if the blog name will change or if another name would be more appropriate.  There are far more serious matters in this world and it's no longer my desire to focus on people who will eventually self-destruct. I can, however, follow a brave man's lead and make a difference by concentrating on matters that really count.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, Clay Aiken, for being who you are and not who others say you are and thank you to a fellow fan and friend for giving me that extra push to make the changes now that I wanted to make in the future with my blog. There are issues more worthy of people who care.  I've wasted enough time trying to take out the garbage.  I'm just not that into garbage anymore.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-8608597035612395540?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/8608597035612395540/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=8608597035612395540' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/8608597035612395540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/8608597035612395540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2008/06/new-dawn.html' title='A New Dawn'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-7367371729861884414</id><published>2008-01-15T10:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-15T12:43:12.808-08:00</updated><title type='text'>In Honor of the "...Things You Didn't Know about Idol" Special</title><content type='html'>Today I was watching a special about the things we didn't know about Idol. One of the Brits "plugged" the site "Vote for the Worst" but not in a complimentary way. The significant parting comments centered around the fact that Idol has so many voters that the insignificant number of votes prompted by "Vote for the Worst" doesn't amount to a hill of beans because he (the Brit who shall be nameless) said that the right person would win and he would see to it. Of course, Clay's fans know all about the lengths the AI machine will go to in order to accomplish the outcome they want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For an interesting read about how dirty the AI machine is go here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://votefortheworst.com/americanidol7contestants?page=1"&gt;AI7 - The Truth About the Contestants&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-7367371729861884414?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/7367371729861884414/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=7367371729861884414' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/7367371729861884414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/7367371729861884414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2008/01/in-honor-of-things-you-didnt-know-about.html' title='In Honor of the &quot;...Things You Didn&apos;t Know about Idol&quot; Special'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-4785165607200210131</id><published>2008-01-13T14:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-13T15:18:52.146-08:00</updated><title type='text'>While I'm Still Working on My 4.5 Years In Review</title><content type='html'>I couldn't resist the mental midget's remarks on his blog and here they are with my comments below each point:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I really enjoy how the Claymates want to believe that I was "stood up" by someone pretending to be Clay. Let's see;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Well, you did originally say that Clay Aiken was 5'8" and had "beautiful brown eyes").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I passed a lie detector administered by a polygrapher with 20 years experience and whose clients include the attorney generals office of NC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   1.  You said it was Alan Butterfield who came to you.  A swamp creature who was&lt;br /&gt;       on a private board I was on said you and Butterfield are REALLY friends.  I&lt;br /&gt;       doubt the lie detector test ever existed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Clay Aiken never denied the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   2.  He didn't have to. Nobody really believes you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. RCA, whose sales suffered as a result of the scandal, never sued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   3.  Their sales suffer because Clive is a thug who limits the number of CDs&lt;br /&gt;       of artists who stand up for themselves.  The non-shipments, shorted&lt;br /&gt;       shipments, belated releases at some stores and refusals to restock major&lt;br /&gt;       stores are documented at the Clayboard and Clackhouse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. I had Clay's IP address from his emails in Charlotte, Nashville, and Florida where he was performing and with date and times of those emails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   4.  If that's true (BWAH) did you remember to thank Roger or Terry Goldman?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Clay Aiken has since never denied he was gay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   5.  Bullshit!  There's a video of him denying this numerous times and he&lt;br /&gt;       refuses to let a liar he's never met put him in a defensive position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Clay Aiken has never had a girlfriend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   6.  Bullshit!  His family and friends who REALLY know him say differently.&lt;br /&gt;       Fans who have run into Clay's former girlfriends also say differently.&lt;br /&gt;       One former girlfriend, when asked to describe what he's like said that&lt;br /&gt;       he was "passionate" and "romantic" and asked a fan not to ask for details.&lt;br /&gt;       Another said he's a great "soul kisser".  The "passionate" and "romantic"&lt;br /&gt;       comment can be found in the archives at The FoRT and the time frame is the&lt;br /&gt;       day that Clay and Amanda picked the best signs from the lawn of a radio&lt;br /&gt;       station.  I believe it was one of the winners who had the conversation with&lt;br /&gt;       the former GIRLFRIEND out on the lawn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Nearly ALL of Clay's friends are gay males.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   7.  You have no idea who his friends are because you don't know him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. There have been 4 separate webcam incidents involving Clay Aiken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   8.  I guess you mean the ones you and your buddies created using the Thom&lt;br /&gt;       York photo, the one Terry Goldman created or had created with Groucho's&lt;br /&gt;       eyes photoshopped in, the one that a fan created along with a whacked out&lt;br /&gt;       story which was passed to you and you passed to Piggez.  The one we&lt;br /&gt;       had a great laugh over when Piggez posted it on his blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Others have discussed hooking up and having sex with Clay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   9.  You mean the guys randomly picked from Woodle's souvenir programs&lt;br /&gt;       of cast and crew members of various NY plays?  Do your IMDB search, FOOL!&lt;br /&gt;       You'll find her name with theirs listed on productions. Does&lt;br /&gt;       The Johnny Show ring her bell?

There are some things that are too important not to be given the proper recognition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the Holidays The Clay Nation raised over $55,000 for BAF through Wrapping for Inclusion (WFI) and as the last few minutes tick away on the West Coast we welcome in the New Year knowing we raised approximately $110,000 for the urgent needs of areas in Mexico which were ravaged by flooding.  This is the type of action that Clay Aiken inspires and I am so proud to be his fan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we watched the thermometer rise on the UNICEF donation charts at various message boards throughout the last week our swamp sloggers dawned their hip boots to wade through the mire of the swamps so others can stay informed as to what the Clarkson and Studdard camp is planning next in the way of a scam to send to the tabloids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While we have been celebrating the influence of goodness, kindness and the generosity of our fellow human beings the swamp has tried to convince their readers that helping others is evil; one minute they say that a celebrity donating his own money is evil and a few minutes later the same celebrity is evil because they are sure he doesn't donate. Goes to show you that swamp rats keep running around inside their little wheels because they have no direction, no inspiration, and no positive influences in their lives that they can recognize let alone the power to remember what lie they told 5 minutes ago.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May God Bless Clay and his fandom and may God give the big middle finger to those who spin their lies about him and us in their Shit-Mouth Marathon.  It must suck to be that miserable with themselves.  I would suggest stepping away from their mirrors.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-1611932651041930292?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/1611932651041930292/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=1611932651041930292' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/1611932651041930292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/1611932651041930292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/12/inspiration.html' title='INSPIRATION'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-7422856610407007059</id><published>2007-12-26T08:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-26T10:17:29.374-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Terry Goldman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Electric Artists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spamalot'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sir Robin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='RCA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='viral marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clay Aiken'/><title type='text'>Confirming a Player in the MESS</title><content type='html'>It's the day after Christmas and I hope All is Well with Clay and the entire family in Clayland. I hope the coming year will be filled with lots of Clay, lots of love and, most of all, lots of truth. I wish for some deluded fans to snap back to reality and expose more players. Swamp rats need not comment as I wish you the wrath of God; insert fake Clays and fake girlfriends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sooooo speaking of exposing players in the MESS I've been wanting to link one bastard in particular since the beginning. Someone clicked on and shared an old link:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...riendid=8973291&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and my wish was granted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a quote from the MySpace account:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;QUOTE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, November 07, 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay Aikin (The Gaykin) will be joining the cast of Broadway's Spamalot Jan 18. Did anyone really doubt this boy would eventually cave in and do Broadway? I mean what else is really going on for him? The show needs a boost and so does Gaykin so its a win-win situation. I'm sure the Claymates will enjoy seeing him portray Sir Robin or what is typically referred to as "the gay knight". Oh yes, he'll only be "acting" gay.&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Viral Marketing at it's worst and from none other than the account rep at Electric Artists who handles some RCA Idol stars including Clay Aiken. A couple of years ago this bunghole hemorrhoid, Terry Goldman, posted a photoshopped webcam of Clay as a joke for his friends on MySpace, at least he said it was a joke but the fans didn't really buy it. Most of us believed it was just another strategic step into the abyss of the smear campaign. Just as quickly as he posted the phony he took it down but the desired damage was already done. In trying to cover his corrupt gay mafia ass, Goldman waxed irate at JP for calling him a coward when the fake photo was removed. Goldman told JP to leave him out of the MESS and I was thinking No Fucking Way is this guy NOT involved!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Discuss if you wish!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh! Terry, Robin in Spamalot is the goofy but STRAIGHT knight.

In case you're still a little in the dark I have a couple of interesting recaps.  In an effort to alert the entire fandom, the very brave BoltBabes4Clay "out" one of the Fake Clay scams; at least they took their plight to a couple of other boards' admins but were shot down and shut out until they got to Chexxxy.  She and probably others did some research to collect FACTS, people, before exposing the sick affair (yeah, it's a pun).  She has republished quite a bit on her new blog:  http://chexxyspearls.blogspot.com/ in honor of the events from the last few days.  Once the story was posted on Chexxxy's blog Morgan also came forward admitting her private board's Fake KT (fake girlfriend) and Fake Clay experience. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The REAL Clay Aiken, in a Meet and Greet on Dec. 13th, confronted the Fake Girlfriend/ Fake Baby Mama 2/ 8 or 13 months pregnant (whichever of her stories you're following)/Jessie with a crapload of her own postings from across the internet.  She was confronted with her own claims that she is a girlfriend, ex-fiancee, ex-girlfriend, now good friend (whichever story) to Clay and together they have had numerous children out of wedlock.  This includes twins which didn't make it and if you read elsewhere 1 twin survived and Faye is taking care of her/him. She was able to amass a small fortune in cash, car, concert tickets, trips, baby shower and God knows what else at the expense of fans.  Fake Clay told them to do it. I wonder if Baby Mama 2 had to split that with JP; he's been living off somebody the last couple of years and she does talk to him a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I, personally, won't go into all the details (because I don't know them all and Chexxxy will update later) but some of the folks who think they have a right to control what the grunts (the majority) of the fandom should and shouldn't know were also caught with their e-pants down. Without bringing over the entire piece of shit "Admin Note" from CV, a long trusted and much looked up to fan and admin of CV was "replaced" as of yesterday.  Unfortunately, the "Admin Lady" who posted it couldn't help but get her petty and snide little dig in by saying that Hockeydonna and Chexxxy were admins who left because they were involved in "extracurricular activities".  Wow! Was this an effort to make people think that Chexxxy was associated in anyway with what Hockeydonna was doing?  Tacky, tacky, tacky and beneath the dignity of most.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just NO, people!  Chexxxy's "extracurricular" activity was blogging the truth and eventually opening a message board where fans are free to have an opinion, free to spat and makeup, free to research the truth and keep each other and the rest of the fandom informed even when it hurts.  We're free to call an asshole, "Asshole!"  Of course, now JP, CV and CH claim to have known all the sordid details for a longer time and want to take credit for a portion of the bust.  Chexxxy says have at it ladies and JP.  All I have to say to the people and CV and CH is ....  Where the hell were you when the Bolt Babes needed your help?  You were busy squelching as much as you could in order to protect your "back channels" of misinformation and dirty admins who were having cybersex with Fake Clay (JP &amp; Friends). You were throwing Chexxxy and Chexxxy's place under the bus in an effort to prolong the truth being known.  Well, that plan was moot.  Prior to that another well know, looked up to fan blasted Chexxxy on her blog for exposing the truth and, in retaliation, she exposed the more well known screen names of a few of Chexxxy's members KNOWING that JP &amp; Friends have threatened to slit their's and others' throats.  Way to go, HF.  Notice that the support on your blog was from the swamp. Did being their hero make you feel good?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, getting back to the Baby Mama 2/Fake Clay scam, below is another recap someone specifically joined Chexxxy's for (imagine that) in order to inform the rest of the fandom as to what else REALLY went down; this on the heals of Mixnjude's diatribe (throwing others under the bus) at the CB in an effort to continue the lies and her cybersex with fake Clay.  &lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are photos that go with this but I think you can get the picture with "Sheila's" words and a few of my own:  terror-stricken, venomous, and my favorite, the ever revealing I SHIT MYSELF look!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;QUOTE(Sheila @ Dec 16 2007, 01:27 AM) *&lt;br /&gt;12.13.07 MORRISTOWN RECAP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I arrived at the venue 20 minutes early due to the obvious inclement weather, as I entered the theater seating area I stopped to greet a known Security Guard (not venue), was given directions to my seat and prepared for event(s) of the evening. Perhaps this is redundant, however, important - there are two PIT rows at the Morristown theater, a small aisle between the 2 pit rows and Row 3. I was given a seat next to Mix, I was 3rd on the aisle, and directly in front of me were Hockeydonna, and to her left Jessie; they were also accompanied by Hockeydonna's sister and mother. The seats were arranged so that I had a clear view of all the players and what transpired. This was of course "Jessie's M&amp;G evening".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I immediately noticed that Hockeydonna was not in a good mood - this is a picture of her when she first entered the seating area:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, Hockeydonna's sister appeared to be trying to comfort Jessie from her just completed M&amp;G - another visual for you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I sat down next to Mix, I introduced myself as "Sheila" and mentioned that I knew she was Mix&amp;Jude. That confused her somewhat, I explained long ago montages with her name on them, she did correct me in that she only did Clack (which I verified later). Minor detail. The shit hit the fan around this point in time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I proceeded with a direct question of "how did Jessie's M&amp;G go?" This unsettled her, unsettled isn't a strong enough adjective actually, because I used the name Jessie and not Krissie etc., that query session I merely tossed aside not giving it any attention as it was unimportant to me. Mix was frankly furious, she kept saying "who are you???" - Mix then QUOTED Jessie as saying that Clay was an asshole to her at the M&amp;G" [direct quote] and he treated her horribly. At this juncture, I decided to chat with my big old lug of a security guard and left the area for a few minutes, which was quite pleasant since he gave me a humongous hug. Upon returning, Mix was having a hissy fit, no other description would suffice - she asked me if I knew Clay - I stoically said I had met Clay, I was not a friend of Clay's, nor had I had cybersex with him. Mix choked on that comment and began an annoying repetition of "who are you??". She stated "why would you say such a thing? Why did you say that? I can't believe you said that?". Hearing enough of that crap, I finally looked her eyeball to eyeball and whispered very slooooooooowly "dont....be.....foolish" - really slooooooowly..........sloooooooooow. God, got a great face from her on that comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All this transpired BEFORE the performance began - yes, we had a lovely 20 minute chat session only to be interrupted by her text message screen (very bright btw) and clickedy clicked like a woman possessed after only one minute after meeting me and my statement regarding Jessie's M&amp;G. Again, the repetitious gagging/nagging of the same question "who are you?" peppered the convo (quite a nuisance). I had told her already I was "Sheila" so what was the point? She further was upset that "how do you know my friends?" to which I didn't comment. Mix simply could not contain herself. On and on she kept talking about how horrible it was that Clay was an asshole when Jessie had lost her baby, to which I replied "oh, you mean&lt;br /&gt;the twins?" She left her seat by at least 2' in the air levitating at THAT statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The performance began and she continued to clickedy click tap tap on her brightly lit text messaging - all the while trying to engage me in conversation - her next tack was she said&lt;br /&gt;Clay had PAPERS at the M&amp;G and said to Jessie "I WANTED TO CONFRONT YOU IN PERSON".&lt;br /&gt;This is a direct quote. I remember it very very well. She continued with Clay acted like&lt;br /&gt;an ass to Jessie and how upset Jessie was. I'm not certain why she felt it important for me&lt;br /&gt;to know this sociopathic opinion of hers. ???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing that was VERY IMPORTANT TO ME was that the performance in no way was disturbed or interrupted, that Mix kept her hissing queries to a decent whisper. I did finally give her "the look" of don't even bother, which sort of sealed the deal temporarily , her face was priceless.....but damn, she kept at it, her facial expression was truly frozen in an omg and who the hell is she petrified state. I had entered my botox mode though - as if I had 100&lt;br /&gt;shots right before the encounter, no emotion either way, good or bad, she was like a piece of fly doodle to me emotionally. Actually as the tete-a-tete went beyond the furiously flying fickle fingers of fate text messaging HD/Jessie/et al, I began to experience deju vu??? I had seen THAT face - the pallor and the whole schmear - it was Thomas Jefferson at Mount Rushmore - quelle horreur !! I swear, ashen coupled with a laser stun gun couldn't describe it better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intermission finally arrived, oh goodies to impart during that period of time as well,&lt;br /&gt;however, the hour is late and I shall just leave you with a few photographs of the night of Jessie's meet and greet. (Even though they left at the END of the intermission, they certainly&lt;br /&gt;left their droppings beforehand......more tomorrow!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I apologize, but it is necessary that I blacked out my identity.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My only words to Hockeydonna were "Hi I'm Sheila"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What went from Mix's "who the hell are you" became HD's "who the fuck are you"...&lt;br /&gt;she was very vulgar and kept repeating the f bomb - even though her mother was there...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12.13.07 Morristown Recap - Part 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am continuing to provide you with the input of Mix/HD/Jessie DURING the first half of the performance at Morristown, as well as the intermission. I apologize I was unable to complete this for you last evening, it may be moot now; however, I believe all facts should be provided in order for each person to better glimpse the scenario as it played out in Morristown AFTER the&lt;br /&gt;M&amp;G and the actions of those that now prefer to continue in their delusional worlds, which only will obviously keep the fan unrest and questions at a higher level than reality. I'm certain that Mr Aiken does NOT desire the ruse to continue [he obviously has made his point] - we should follow suit in following ONLY the TRUTH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To clarify a few points.&lt;br /&gt;The security guard that I mentioned that was "known" by me was indeed burly, however, he is NOT Jerome Bell, and he is not a venue security guard. Mix was surprised that Clay had these papers, she did not refer to them using the term of "legal", merely "papers"; to which I did reply that "he has had "papers" for a long time" (ensuing gasp from Mix).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I first mentioned the obvious context re HD of meeting Clay, but not a friend and never having cybersex with him, Mix's immediate indignant response was "you are from Paulus' blog".&lt;br /&gt;My response was simply "no, I know who John Paulus is, however I do not read the blogs, nor&lt;br /&gt;do I have to". (insert her texting like a fiend on her brilliantly lit cell phone, most annoying).&lt;br /&gt;Having seen my interaction with said security guard, she inquired "are you a fan?", digging, digging, digging. My honest answer was that not originally, however I have become a fan of&lt;br /&gt;Clay Aiken - and this is quite true. She even asked if I bought my ticket "off of" eBay, which caught me off guard it was so absurd, I responded a tad exasperated accompanied with a light chuckle "ummm - no". I had been informed that Mix was clever and mostly intelligent, I found her quite confused over even my presence next to her. Her goal, IMO, was to ascertain "who the hell I was", that of course was not possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When intermission began, the genuinely nice woman started to request that no more texting or interruption be made (the attractive woman in the black with the white turtleneck); I was very disappointed in that I had failed to contain a situation to be honest, Mix's reply was "don't worry because WE are leaving during intermission". [No, she didn't mean me in the "WE".] Mix then scurried to HD/Jessie/et al (photographs were posted previously) - it was at this point I noticed a person whom I will NOT describe, but who I KNOW attended the M&amp;G - I will refer to her as "burberry scarf" approaching me from the far right aisleway. Burberry was not in the least&lt;br /&gt;pleased with her M&amp;G (she had one previously, I knew this - she mentioned it, but can not disclose where/when, however those in the M&amp;G will understand and attest to the "Burberry" reference). She indicated she was puzzled, surprised, upset, that Clay had approached the "pregnant girl" (aka Jessie), she indicated that Clay actually saw Burberry shivering and that he enclosed his hand on Burberry's hand to provide a peaceful calming feeling for her. Even in the midst of what he KNEW he intended to follow through with, I applaud him for his consumate empathy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was at this point that Mix dashed over to us; Burberry did NOT know me, however I did feel she may have recognized Mix or even knew her - this is merely an observation. When Mix heard her talking about what a strange and truly un-Claylike M&amp;G it had been, Mix EVEN began that early to spin the ruse. Mix said bluntly that the M&amp;G was "wonderful" and she had no idea what Burberry was talking about. Mix and Burberry began to get into a bit of a tirade which was the last thing I sought even though we were all speaking in soft to normal tones, I do not believe those that were sitting in the aisle seats overheard, but it is very possible. Finally, I turned to Mix and said the truth "how would you know, you were NOT in the M&amp;G". It was not stated as a question, it was stated as a fact. [insert Mix's flaming eye darts] At this point fortunately Mix left, leaving me to stand with a fan of Clay's who was truly unsettled, exacerbated by Mix's comments and in my opinion an inkling of disappointment. She then shared her experience of a previous M&amp;G and how it was such a beautiful experience, etc. I will not go further into her eloquent description. I took both her hands in mine and said, the Clay you met at THAT M&amp;G is the SAME CLAY you met tonight, unfortunately what occurred during the M&amp;G was necessary and to hold closely her memory of her previous M&amp;G and that it is always possible she will meet Clay again and find him to be the SAME Clay she had know before. She mentioned that she was NOT going to share this M&amp;G on "the boards" and I queried, why not? It needs to be told and that when she felt comfortable, if she ever did, then to share with the fans exactly her observations of the M&amp;G.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mix and Jessie had NOT left the venue yet, Mix was once again texting on her omg brilliantly&lt;br /&gt;lit phone so I walked over to her and indicated the obvious "why go to all the trouble with the texting when you can simply record" (a brief show and tell by me holding my phone - blackened accentuated the point). She was livid and said "oh now it's going to be all over the&lt;br /&gt;boards". She then finally, at the end end end of the intermission departed....good news for me indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did return to "my" seat, the young woman in the black pantsuit and white turtleneck and I enjoyed the remainer of the performance - even the ovations and feeling of the audience was thrilling for me. I truly felt badly that not only did she have Mix with her blinding text messaging and attempted interrogation of me, albeit in whispers, even that can be very very annoying - just the constant movement of a caged animal sitting near you at a wondrous venue can be a deterrent to your enjoyment of the performance. PLUS this poor person sat right behind HD/Jessie (albeit a small aisle in between) and the glare of THEIR texting and bobbing head conversation was an added irritant, I truly felt apologetic that of all nights this was the night she had THAT seat. When the applause quieted and coats were being put on, faces were filled with joy from the concert, I turned to the woman in the black pantsuit/white turtleneck, a woman who stood next to me in cheers to Clay's performance, even the enormous outburst of both of us when he sang "Oh, baby that's a fact" and we laughed in unison, it is not my nature to have an displeased fan, hence, I stood in front of her and apologized indicating this was an unusual circumstance, a necessity however, and if I could comp/provide her tickets to Spamalot I personally would oversee that this was accomplished. She was surprised but she did smile. That made me feel much better, the tension was released from me, and her words were simple and kind "no, thank you, that won't be necessary however I really appreciate your offering". She seemed pleased, however I know the 1st half of the performance must have been a real nightmare for her between the blinky and noisy Mix texting and questioning and having to look at the row in front of her seeing the same madness.

AGAIN!</title><content type='html'>Sometimes repeating a revised version of an old blog post is quite fitting.  Tonight is one of those times.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN THE JUNGLE, THE QUIET JUNGLE&lt;br /&gt;THE LION ROARED TONIGHT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN THE JUNGLE, THE MIGHTY JUNGLE&lt;br /&gt;THE LION ROARED AGAIN TONIGHT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AWORM AWAY AWORM AWAY....and all that good stuff that Lions are famous for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I haven't said it enough lately then I'll say it again:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GOD!  I LOVE ME SOME CLAY AIKEN!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*One scammer down and a few more to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UPDATE for those who want more of the scoop, courtesy of another fan:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Jessie/Kristin has been spreading stories for well over a year, claiming that Clay is the father of one of her illegetimate children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Jessie/Kristin has collected a lot of gifts, money, and a free car from other Clay fans who believed her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Jessie/Kristin arranged for a Fake Clay to telephone, and send instant messages to several well known fans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. The well known fans believed every word that Jessie/Kristin and Fake Clay told them, even though none of it ever panned out. Every Single Time Fake Clay told them he would meet up with them it fell through. Yet none of them ever put 2 and 2 together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. The well known fans are full of lame excuses as to why the "Clay" they are supposedly talking to bears no resemblance to the REAL Clay, in either actions, or deeds. Their version of Clay is a cybersex addict, communicates with JP, never keeps to his word, and whines all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. The REAL Clay asked a certain special fan (who is apparently a member of Chexxxy's) to provide him with information as to who was spreading the Fake Clay stories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. When the perpetrator of the Fake Clay stories (Jessie/Kristin) had the GALL to sign up for, and win a M&amp;G, Clay could no longer remain silent. He wanted to clear his good name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Clay brought documentation of Jessie/Kristins lies, made sure there were plenty of witnesses, and videotaped his confrontation of the fraudster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Clay was in good spirits the rest of the evening, and put on a marvelous show.&lt;br /&gt;10. Jessie/Kristin was in a BAD mood the rest of the evening, and apparently left the show at intermission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. Fake Clay is now on the run. It remains to be seen as to whether or not his Cybersex girlfriends will wake up and smell the coffee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Regular or Decaf?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-5067397491685466339?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/5067397491685466339/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=5067397491685466339' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/5067397491685466339'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/5067397491685466339'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/12/lion-roars-again.html' title='The Lion Roars ......

Until now I have not commented on Fake Clay but I have been an astute observer. I have observed fans bickering with each other over being exposed as dupees and I have seen insults flung at the wrong people? To hide their own embarassment or to shield friends from being further embarassed, some fans feel it necessary to shift blame onto the people doing the exposing of such a travesty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For what reason and to what end will some people go to cover up this stinking turd they're trying to bury in the sand? Everything smells better when it's exposed to fresh air. I've seen names of fans thrown into the pile of dung and all that can be avoided. I have no doubt that some of those names being tossed out there on Chexxxy's blog are from the usual suspects at the hate blogs and OC. No! I am not naive enough to believe that it's all coming from the core of the cancer either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've seen some people being called "elitists" who talk among themselves via backchannels; people who thought they were the "in crowd" being given some sort of insight to Clay's business, both professional and personal. So let's talk about something that REALLY happened. Agreeing with many others, it's my firm belief that these fans were simply easy prey. They were targeted because of their own influence among the various message boards and because they were avid fans who loved Clay so much that they were grateful to be considered the "chosen few". They were duped into offering solace to a faker; one of whom goes against the very grain of who the real Clay Aiken is and what he stands for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of these same people were being duped long before this particular FC was spawned. As I believe they were easy prey, I also believe they were the victims of the worst kind of viral marketing originating from the source that should have been nurturing an amazing talent. Those who still defend RCA, Clive and Roger are either blinded by their naivite or they are a part of the viral marketing. This is where the cancer has metastasized and we, collectively, allowed it by giving the roots a chance to speak and spread their disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's my honest opinion that it's about fucking time the fanbase bans together for a little radiation therapy. Quit using Chexxxy and Chexxxy's Place as the whipping post and own your part of this cancer. To point fingers at allies is just ridiculous on both sides. The message boards as wholes are not responsible for the cancer but you each have a duty to execute a cure when there is one. It's easy really. Remove the core and the roots from our midst. Expel those who would do us and Clay harm and quit trying to shovel your embarassment under the sand by turning a friend into your personal scapegoat. Quit sticking up for friends as though you're trying to shield them from being exposed for wrong doing. Being duped is NOT their wrong doing but staying silent or shifting blame, under the circumstances, is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for allowing me this rant but I don't want to partake in name calling and placing blame on fans or fanboards and I certainly don't want to see it. We are the healthy cells so if you want to strike at the sickness, remove the cancer from your own boards and the OFC. Clay Nation is a large house and it takes the entire community banned together to clean it. People who would still willingly harbor the cancers deserve to be duped if they have not wised up by now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-5109240116681435354?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/5109240116681435354/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=5109240116681435354' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/5109240116681435354'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/5109240116681435354'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/11/sounds-of-silence.html' title='&quot;Sounds of Silence&quot;'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-3769599224873440790</id><published>2007-10-08T04:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-08T05:44:14.071-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ben Stein Commentary</title><content type='html'>I had a nice blog draft that I was preparing but my friend, WRU, brought this over to a private message board.  What Ben Stein had to say was so thought provoking that I couldn't resist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My confession:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a crche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came from and where the America we knew went to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?" (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response.&lt;br /&gt;She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.&lt;br /&gt;Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said O K.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread&lt; STRONG&gt; like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you laughing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in. My Best Regards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly and respectfully,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben Stein"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's look at what John Paulus writes (although I don't think this is him because he can't spell "aggravate" correctly in his fake Clay IMs so I doubt he knows what conundrum means let alone how to spell it):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Clay and his Claymates have been backed in a corner with Church debacle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's how I see it:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. If he performs at the church he will then prove he supports active discrimination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. If he performs he will demonstrate that money come before principle and integrity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. If he performs at the church it means he has no consideration for his friends who will be performing at a place which will not and does not accept them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. If the church cancels him it will be because they could not get assurances that he was straight and is who he professes to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. If Clay cancels it would mean that he succumbed to the pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quite the conundrum.&lt;br /&gt;John Paulus | Homepage | 10.07.07 - 4:49 pm | # "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neither Clay nor his fans are backed in a corner; you do NOT have that power, JP.  Perhaps the church sees this concert as a way to bring lost children into the fold but perhaps it's divine intervention and God is using Clay (a straight male), Jessie and Sean (2 gay men), Angela and Quiana (2 beautiful black women) as an example of how it's meant to be.  We're all human beings; life and this beautiful Earth was meant to be shared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my favorite courses at Ohio State was "A History of Religion" where I analyzed (that's what I do) the process.  My take is that the books of the Bible, the Koran, et al were basically written by men for men and interpreted by men in different languages.  Through the centuries of translations the books may possibly have become slanted toward empowering men more than women and possibly taking the inner termoil of some with certain inclinations (same sex attraction) and making it something evil out of fear.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe in interpreting these books for myself and not taking them literally BUT I concentrate on the lessons learned and try my damnedest to accept and care for everyone.  I would give you my last dollar and I would give you the shirt off my back if I found you in need more than I.  If my need was as great as yours then I would share my last dollar and rip my shirt in half so we could both cover our shoulders (and my tatas) to keep them warm.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems Clay, though raised a devout Southern Baptist boy, has taken his lessons learned and he decided for himself that God is inclusive and that's the way he wants to be.   Books can't decide who is evil; that's up to individual interpretation.  My interpretation of what has happened the last couple of years is that YOU, your supporters, Gay fanatics who think everyone owes them a living and power freaks in the entertainment industry have fought long and hard to be thought of as evil.  You can only control yourself; you can't control Clay or me. You can only have a temporary affect.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-3769599224873440790?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/3769599224873440790/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=3769599224873440790' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/3769599224873440790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/3769599224873440790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/10/ben-stein-commentary.html' title='Ben Stein Commentary'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-633529714381508617</id><published>2007-09-30T10:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-30T10:13:28.386-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Lighter Side</title><content type='html'>Just to throw a little humor out there today as we count down the hours and minutes until we hear Clay narrating Idol Rewind, Season 2.

I expect that if Chexxxy jumps off a bridge, John has the the sense not to use her actions as a pattern to follow - because he knows better.

The other night someone was talking about Jane Wyman and I went to look for a costume I made for her - from way back in the 80's I think. I was in Taipei working and got a call to change something on it, for a show called FalconCrest maybe? can't remember but I flew from there to the US.

There were just a few entries in the book including one from a woman who made it a point to note she was a Claymate. This gave me a brilliant idea. Throughout the next few days I anonymously emailed Chexxxy's and the Equalizer's blog providing them a link to the condolence book. I told some them to keep it off their blogs and message boards so that the "stalker and haters" would not know about it. Within a matter of a hours the guest book filled up with names and locations off all these Claymates as I quietly sat back and collected each of them. Yes, I used and manipulated Chexxxy and Oh Crap, but that's what happens to people who are easily fooled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to thank my co-conspirators Chexxxy and Oh Crap for the following collection of names and addresses. Your shovels are on their way."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see that the liar strikes again.  I've been in the process of moving for the last week and prior to that my computer was blasted by a power surge while I was away for a few days scoping the new digs.  The new computer was hooked up in the late afternoon and late into the evening I saw the message from "Anonymous" leaving me a link which I ignored and moved on to the other comments, then caught up on email and then caught up on a couple of private boards.  It's now 3:56 a.m. and I still haven't done anything with that "Anonymous" comment nor have I clicked on the link.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You didn't get jackshit from me, Jack Shit.  I am, however, anxiously waiting to see what you get pending the finale of the saga Chexxxy is putting together about scammers.  Interesting read I've come back to.  Perhaps you'll get your shit jacked. Perhaps there should be a new help group for people like you called Scammers Anonymous.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go ahead; send that shovel.

Yes, we love to spend our money on an all Clay concert because, in spite of some of the arguments being used, the truth is that we can't get enough of HIM.  For 12 hours straight he could stand and smile between songs and banter but it still wouldn't be enough Clay.  There's just no such thing as too much Clay Aiken for his fans yet we may be asked again to take part in "sharing".  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sharing" is not our favorite thing BUT here is some positive fodder to think about:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember when we heard that the three who became close friends vowed to be the last 3 standing even though all three were coming from Group 2?  The likelihood of that happening was pretty slim yet there they were:  Clay, Kim and Ruben made good on their promise and they finished their amazing medley to the chant of 2, 2, 2, 2.  The audience at the AI Finale and at home remembered Group 2.  Was I the only one who felt something special when the three of them were beaming in smiles during that chant?  I don't think so.  What started out as a hateful competition on the boards, purposely provoked by the judges and the AI machine, melted away during that medley....at least for 99.9% of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are major opportunities presenting themselves here with this possible reunion tour.  I've had it up to my eyeballs with those critics who are still in the snot nosed stage of life; those who laud the humping look-alike lipsynchs as credible and who bash the Idols as fabricated.  Duhhhh... Say What?  The humpers have nothing on Clay as he has some of the best pelvic action known to womankind but demmit the boy can sing and toss a zinger with great comedic timing too.  Not sure I'd want to see Ruben's or Kim's hip thrusting but Lawd, Jesus! they can sang. I'm sure their die hard fans would be thrilled by a wiggle or two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it!  The tour would come on the heels of another miserable fiasco caught on national television.... it's called the MTV Awards.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Quick aside:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Snot Noses, Radio, Label Moguls, Clear Channel and Clones,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please don't make me sit through another year of Billboards, Grammies, and MTV bombs.  Can we go back to recognizing excellence instead of payola, please?   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This brings me to the TV opportunity.  Wouldn't it be nice if one of the networks or PBS were "persuaded" to pick the best performances and banter from this tour and televise a "SPECIAL".  I think it would sweep the ratings and propel three REAL singers to the forefront of the entertainment industry despite the efforts that have been made to squelch them.  Of course, it wouldn't hurt the AI machine either but I'll puke on that one another day.  Hopefully, there will come a time when Clive is outed and some Brits are deported for racketeering but in the interim I'll take a TV Special featuring REAL talent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to look on the bright side of this lemonade stand.  What might look like one step back could very well prove to be 3 steps forward.  I think the MTV barf fest indicates that the time is right for cleaning up the industry and THIS, dear folks, is why TPTB have been so afraid of Clay Aiken.  They have been shaken to the core because they knew that a Diamond in the rough with Titanium balls was stronger than dirt.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it!  A blockbuster tour and a ratings sweep by three talented, wholesome beings and their crew!  What a big FUCK YOU to the entertainment gurus so I'll close by telling those gurus to pull my finger.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-1271100981896513105?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/1271100981896513105/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=1271100981896513105' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/1271100981896513105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/1271100981896513105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/09/turning-negative-into-positive-101.html' title='Turning a Negative into a Positive 101'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-2973189309896019999</id><published>2007-08-17T10:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-17T11:14:22.948-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Rant to Openly Clay Members</title><content type='html'>This rant is meant for OC members, ranting to the KCE and Soulful Ruben ilk would fall on deaf ears:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years ago members of the OC, including the two who accompanied JP to the Cary concert, planted their boi on boi fantasies at DataLounge and other houses of ill repute..i.e. Perez Hilton. These fantasies with Clay's name attached were often portrayed as truths. Bina sent in a blind item to Page 6 involving her fantasy about John Dahlstrom and Clay. This was reported as truth and the rest of the OC started creating their own fantasies around this coupling that never existed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these fantasies were picked up by Gay gossips which made Clay fodder for late night talk show hosts and other STUPID media types who lost their focus on what true journalism is. The truth be damned! It was their fantasies which enabled a stalker to come forward and claim a liason that never happened. The liason that NEVER happened gave the OC more to fantasize about without even thinking about what was to come from it all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point in all this is to ask these immature women questions as a result of JP crossing over into finally physically stalking his victim.  He is following the steps...the standard MO of a stalker and the threat to us all is real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DO YOU GET IT NOW? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DO YOU SEE WHAT YOUR LIES HAVE FINALLY BROUGHT TO CLAY AND THE REST OF THE FANDOM? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WAS IT NOT ENOUGH THAT YOU HAVE DELIBERATELY COST HIM HIS PUBLIC REPUTATION FOR THE SAKE OF SATISFYING YOUR SICK, SICK GAY PORN ADDICTION?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DID ANNA AND BEACHBUM NOT KNOW THAT CONVINCING THEM OF HOW "NICE" AND "CARING" AND "FUN" JP CAN BE IS TYPICAL MO FOR A STALKER?  HE'S GOING BY THE BOOK; CAN YOU ALL NOT SEE THIS?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ARE YOU FINALLY SATISFIED THAT CLAY, HIS FAMILY.

A person charged with aiding and abetting or accessory is usually not present when the crime itself is committed, but he or she has knowledge of the crime before or after the fact, and may assist in its commission through advice, actions, or financial support. Depending on the degree of involvement, the offender's participation in the crime may rise to the level of CONSPIRACY."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Source:  Findlaw&lt;br /&gt;---------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hesitated to blog about this and give further recognition to a "Celebrity Stalker" but en lieu of the upcoming program covering this very real threat I feel it is necessary to encourage anyone and everyone to watch it.  The show will be on DTIME cable channel this coming Sunday so check your local listings.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have a real situation here, people!  Stalker boy has finally crossed over from Cyberstalking to physically stalking his victim and he did it with the accompaniment of a couple of reprehensible "Openly Clay" message board members.  When members of the OC give priority to their depravity over the gravity of this situation then I have to believe that they are equally as dangerous as the person they have accomodated.  I'm not just placing the blame on Anna and Terry but on the entire group of perverted women there who have given stalker boy access to their fanfic to use in his tabloid stories and on his blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently "outed" by Percocet of the 411/Fraud Squad hate blog, we know that Bina was involved with this stalker early on.  We are very much aware that some people from Kelly Clarkson Express and Soulful Ruben were also involved in the planning stages of the tabloid articles. THIS is "aiding and abetting" in my book.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that the moderators at the OFC have accomodated and defended the OC's perversion as they have welcomed haters such as Shannonk68 who goes by the screen name of Everlasting2 at the OFC.  By protecting those involved with stalker boy, the moderators are guilty of "Aiding and Abetting" as well and they have no business being a part of the online organized fandom let alone hold a position at Clay's Official Fan Club.  I would request, at this time, that the reckless 3 do the right thing and resign if they refuse to cut off access to information reserved for THE fans.  This would mean bannishment but it would also mean giving up their own support system because the haters and the perverted are the only ones left in their corner at the OFC.  I hold out NO hope of them having the kind of integrity it takes to do either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also involved with the stalker are Perez Hilton, Michael Lucas, Billy Masters and others.  We already know how sick these individuals are and we know that they have absolutely no capability to recognize their culpability.  They suffer from Arrested Development and do not think as responsible adults.  Their activities should be shunned by the media and the public.  They should not be given access to celebrities and there should be laws passed to protect celebrities from their lies.  We are the only ones who can accomplish getting these types of laws passed.  Contact your government representatives and insist they consider bills to punish those who create or copy and paste lies for the sake of selling scandal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Celebrity stalkers are dangerous, they are delusional and they are psycho.  Please tune in to the above mentioned program on Sunday so you can see just who you're "AIDING AND ABETTING" and what the past tragic and ultimate outcomes have been.  The only thing I can say to this particular celebrity stalker is recognize who and what you are and GET SOME FUCKING HELP!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For other blogs on this subject please visit Chexxxy's Pearls and http://www.beaversonidol.com/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-1158774228039778160?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/1158774228039778160/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=1158774228039778160' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/1158774228039778160'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/1158774228039778160'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/08/aiding-and-abetting.html' title='AIDING AND ABETTING'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-1636216608585881440</id><published>2007-07-15T11:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-15T15:38:41.952-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mario Lavandeira, aka Perez Hilton, and his Truth</title><content type='html'>Mario Lavandeira, aka Perez Hilton, made some comments on the View on Friday that set my thoughts back to 2003, late fall, or 2004 early winter. Mario said that he started using a fake name because he was afraid of Clay Aiken’s fan coming after him. This isn’t true, which leads to his other comment that everything he says is true. In fact when Mario is on his site he has this disclaimer on it:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PerezHilton.com is all about gossip and satire. The content that is published contains rumors, speculation, assumptions, opinions, and factual information. Postings may contain erroneous or inaccurate information. The owner of this site does not insure the accurateness of any content presented on PerezHilton.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the owner of the site is Mario Lavandeira, that gives you a pretty good idea of Mario’s “truth!” I think I know the real reason that Mario is using a fake name, other than the fact that he is a freak. When he was working as a legitimate writer for a gay magazine, he was also publishing his first viscous gossip blog, pagesixsixsix. He was not using a disclaimer, and he just happened to be “using” his employer’s server to publish the blog. Of course, the employer didn’t know that. When the employer found out that Mario was “borrowing” their bandwidth, and leaving them open to lawsuits for libel, Mario was out on the street and unemployed. So, I contend that Mario uses a fake name because he is continuing to engage in illegal activity and does not want to be tracked down. By now, anyone who can think for themselves knows that Perez Hilton is really Mario Lavandeira, so the fake name is just a dumb looking affectation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Submitted by: Anonymous&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-1636216608585881440?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/1636216608585881440/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=1636216608585881440' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/1636216608585881440'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/1636216608585881440'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/07/mario-levandeira-aka-perez-hilton-and.html' title='Mario Lavandeira, aka Perez Hilton, and his Truth'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-8607504394530703372</id><published>2007-07-08T09:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-08T15:52:59.660-07:00</updated><title type='text'>AIRPLANE 2007, THE SEQUEL: WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING</title><content type='html'>Perhaps you've read or seen some of the news stories about a female airline passenger attacking Clay Aiken.  The stories coming out are slightly skewed since the writer of the article at Tulsa World online removed a complete paragraph 2 hours after posting the original.  Here's what REALLY happened!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Clay and eyewitnesses who were on their way from the Houston to Tulsa leg of the concert tour: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay sat behind a lady with an insatiable foot fetish.  Realizing that HRH (His Rumpled Humpiness) was in close proximity she started to hyperventilate.  Both her maladies were heightened when HRH, sitting with one leg crossed, accidentally plopped the toe of his size 13 shoe onto the back of her arm rest while he was asleep.  Seizing the opportunity, Foot Lady tried to arouse Mr. Sexy Beast by playing with his toes after she knocked them out of his shoe.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At one point the flight attendant walking by thought the Foot Lady was looking for something as she was kneeling on the floor facing her seat.  One of the eyewitnesses who was sitting across the aisle from Clay noticed Foot Lady was leaning as far as she could to lick something from the back of the armrest.  Nobody really had an inkling at the time of what was happening but it became very apparent when Foot Lady was finally able to rouse Aiken (not arouse him) enough to pull his visor up though he was still not quite awake.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Mr. Aiken removed his visor Foot Lady was seen salivating at the sight of "Bedhead Clay" and could no longer hold back; she climbed over her seat and sat on Clay's lap facing him. Finally! Foot Lady was able to awaken the gorgeous sleeping giant with a little rocking motion then slapping him three or four times yelling, "Say my name, Bitch!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But wait, there's more!  The Flight Attendant and other eyewitnesses managed to pull the frenzied Foot Lady off Clay and contain her until they landed in Tulsa.  Both Clay and Foot Lady gave their accounts to the FBI as did the eyewitnesses.  One of the witnesses who needed to hit the water fountain happened to see some male FBI agents escorting Foot Lady off the premises while their female counterparts were cursing a blue streak behind a cubicle.  Seems that Aiken was the victim of this attack and no matter how vehemently the lady agents insisted that a search for Clay's famous WEAPONS OF MASS SEDUCTION was in order, their superior said, "NO!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WAIT!  Theres More!  According to Agent Johnston, Foot Lady was carted off to the local FBI Field Office where she was held for further questioning.  She admitted that she was a plant and part of the plot known as "Blow Dandelions Out Your Ass" which was cooked up by Kelly Clarkson and her married, middle aged long time lover, Rick of Gretna, LA. The purpose of the plot is to cause minor disturbances for Mr. Aiken in hopes that they can sway what the unethical journalists publish.  Guess Foot Lady was no match for one sexy Clay Aiken and in her weakness she spilled the beans.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-8607504394530703372?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/8607504394530703372/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=8607504394530703372' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/8607504394530703372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/8607504394530703372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/07/airplane-2007-sequal-while-you-were.html' title='AIRPLANE 2007, THE SEQUEL: WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-8291753517043750488</id><published>2007-07-02T09:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-02T13:04:49.822-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WHAT IF......?</title><content type='html'>As an observer who likes to keep an open mind about many things, as one who prefers to live and let live, and as one who abhors injustice I plan to keep posting truths until I'm blue in the face.  Our regular bloggers know by now that I believe there is a conspiracy that has been in the works since before January, 2006.  We have been witness to facts that include Kelly fans from the Kelly Clarkson Express and the Soulful Ruben ladies (I puke when I apply that term to them) being involved in the Clay Aiken smear campaign.  They have spread lies to gay gossip sites and any gossip site for that matter; we know they helped create some of the stories sent to the tabloids and they helped create or know who did create photoshopped webcams from numerous photos of different people so that we wouldn't be able to "identify" the origin...or so they thought.  We know they banded together with the spurned stalkers who realized that their "connection" to Clay didn't exist except in their warped minds (this includes some really sick ones at Cafe Allegro).  Feelings of entitlement like this is a common thread among stalkers.  We've discussed this plenty so let's move on to something else that's REALLY happening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is posed to the Kelly and Ruben fans who are so blinded by the hatred embedded in their minds by none other than the American Idol machine.  We know what they (AI) do.  They create competition and usually it's not in a fair way. They manipulate the viewers and they manipulate the outcome using controversy to boost ratings and I have no doubt they manipulate the voting lines. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;a href="http://www.dldewey.com/idolfin.htm"&gt;Proof in the Pudding&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So NOW we have what appears to be Kelly Clarkson losing some ground on the AI Totem Pole of popularity.  Her tour was cancelled due to slow sales.  Very few people stayed for her concert after a major auto racing event and then she was greeted by an almost empty lot for the GMA Summer Concert Series.  WHAT IF?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's move on here and take something into consideration.  The KCE moderators encourage and partake in Clay bashing as though it's KCE's JOB.  It takes priority over their support of Kelly.  Like all "businesses" there are situations where "multitasking" is required... such as recruiting the minors at KCE for CD cracking and hiding of other artists new releases on the shelves.  While the minors cover that territory the KCE upper management (adults who act like children) are busy infiltrating the Pulse, TWoP, and Idol Forum message boards (many others, I'm sure) and probably Official Fan Clubs.  We know they are in the mix at the OFC (the Mods know it too).  KCE and Soulful Ruben have been infiltrating the Clay message boards for years using 10 to 50 screen names each.  They've pretended to be us; they've launched email/mail/phone campaigns for the sole purpose of making Clay and his fans be thought of as "crazy rabid" (as opposed to "loyal rabid") by pretending to BE US.  Soulful Ruben is notorious for posing while using racial slurs and making other biggoted remarks just to stir the turd by fighting with themselves.  We know that JP also adopted this technique as his smoke screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The KCE harass fans of Carrie U., Avril L., Christina A. and NOW Hannah Montana because the #1 spot is being reported by the media as a toss up between her CD and Kelly's.  There were lots of cracked CDs being reported for the OTHER gal as they also were for Leona Lewis who Simon was pushing recently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT IF "payback" really is a bitch of the highest order?  WHAT IF the KCE has cost Kelly dearly?  The truth is that there are (or WERE) many dual fans of both Clay and Kelly; there are those who are loyal Idol fans and there are fans like me who avidly support only Clay but who LOVE so many other contestants. When Clay's first single and full CD came out, the sales were phenominal so we know as an internet fanbase IT'S NOT JUST US doing the buying.  No matter how it's spun, 13,000 people on the internet did NOT buy over 2.5 Million CDs.  Same with Kelly's sales.  The KCE and Soulful Ruben can show you where people admit to buying multiple Clay CDs but they don't mention that we can show where they did as well BUT it wasn't just them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT IF all the hatefulness spawned from the KCE has caused Kelly to lose those "dual" fans and those "Idol" fans?  WHAT IF Clay's fans and Idol fans hadn't caught on to the lack of support shown for Ruben during the AI Tour by fans that were solely his..the ones who voted for him? The Soul(less) gals can spin it any way they want but I know for a fact that Clay's fans added signs for Ruben to take during the later tour stops and there was a concerted effort to buy 1 Ruben CD JUST to make sure that he hit that #1 spot on the charts.  Again, I'm sure it wasn't JUST US but he sooo deserved to be atop that chart as with any Idol alumni.  They can freaking "sang" and deserve support.  WHAT IF there were dual fans in the Avril, Christina, Carrie and Leona bases?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT IF this evil spawned from both internet fanbase sites caused the loss of support for Kelly and Ruben?  Perhaps they should think about it.  There are diehard fans of both Kelly and Clay, one of whom is Truth Rules, who aren't giving up on supporting both.  Diehard fans of both feel the hurt when Clay is bashed and lied about but they also hurt when they see comments on message boards where the dual fans and Idol fans are pulling support from Kelly because of the KCE involvement with the tabloid media smear campaign.  WHAT IF the dual Carrie, Avril and Christina fans no longer are Kelly fans because of KCE harassment and innuendo?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT IF this is what happened to Ruben's popularity after his first CD?  The Soul(less) gals didn't let up; Emach implicated Ruben's mother as a party to their first campaign and when they were found out there seemed to be a loss of support for Ruben.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT IF Kelly's new CD tanks?  It's been in some media that RCA will release only ARO 800,000 to 850,000 so that it ships under Platinum.  That's about 600,000 more than RCA distributed to Soundscan outlets of Clay's ATDW CD the first week.  It's bad enough that Clive sees fit to "punish" his money makers for thinking independently but it's 10 times worse when millions of people turn their backs on her because of something SHE is not directly responsible for? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT IF...?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Technorati tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Clay+Aiken" rel="tag"&gt;Clay Aiken&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/American+Idol" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;American Idol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Avril Lavigne" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Avril Lavigne&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Leona Lewis" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Leona Lewis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Kelly Clarkson" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Kelly Clarkson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Christina Aguilera" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Christina Aguilera&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Hannah Montana " rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Hannah Montana &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Carrie Underwood" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Carrie Underwood&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Ruben Studdard" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Ruben Studdard&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/gossip" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;gossip&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-8291753517043750488?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/8291753517043750488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=8291753517043750488' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/8291753517043750488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/8291753517043750488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/07/what-if.html' title='WHAT IF......?'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-3684501283392346211</id><published>2007-06-26T21:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-27T04:50:55.727-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Clay Nation Supports Joss Stone Charity</title><content type='html'>I was very impressed with Joss Stone the first time I saw and heard her belt out some jazz favorites when she was a young teen. Now she is 19 and follows the path of some of our favorite American Idols. Like Clay, she is desparate to do what she can to help those who need it. "A Little Bitty Tear Let Me Down" (Circa Burl Ives) when I saw this video. To those who can find charity in your hearts, please give to the Help Perez Foundation... and buy a Joss Stone CD to show your appreciation for her humanitarian efforts.

I asked..."Well, why?"  This blog is not that well known; however, it does get a mention now and then from the swamp which makes me think that the person that linked here may be a regular reader of the swamp.  I don't know.  I won't point any fingers (that's how innuendo works).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facts: Mods discussed and jointly decided that an article considered to NOT be from a credible source and which contained innuendo should be considered a "sighting" and should be posted where minors could read.  The OFC TOU be damned!  Fans (some who are parents of said minors) wanted the article removed and a heated debate ensued.  I had no clue about it until well after it got heated and it got heated after a lot of pleading to remove the article went unheeded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had the person who linked this blog noticed and had others following the link noticed, that particular blog post didn't go up until after 3PM my time which would be after 6PM EST.  There was no "planned attack"; the choice to use the word "mutiny" was mine because people, for the right reasons, wanted to "overthrow" (correct) a bad decision. To make a well respected fan a scapegoat by using MY choice of words as proof of the planning is connecting the dots in a very skewed manner.  Nobody is responsible for what Swamp Man reports to the tabloids but him and it's to garner attention for HIMSELF (he didn't even get an honorable mention) which is why he "changed" what REALLY happened in his report to the crap tabloid journalist to HIS agenda.  I think Chexxxy is owed an apology but that's my opinion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humor of the day:  The message board at OFC is back on track and going quite smoothly I hear.  The fans are following Clay's advice; they've made their individual lists, checked them twice and put their 1% on ignore (what an extraordinarily wise young man).  It seems to be working so for those whose posts are not receiving responses from 99% of the members........ guess what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parting thought for the day:  Very little effort to bring 99% to 100% is needed.  It's called respect for THE MAN in his own home. As always, I am optimistic that this can be accomplished.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-7003581028913767169?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/7003581028913767169/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=7003581028913767169' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/7003581028913767169'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/7003581028913767169'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/06/chexxxy-fan-extraordinaire.html' title='Chexxxy:  Fan Extraordinaire'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-2920032464300246070</id><published>2007-06-09T19:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-11T15:17:05.271-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Phybil</title><content type='html'>WE INTERRUPT THE SNARK AND HUMOR FOR A GLANCE AT THE TRUTH.

I know, funny but Phybil has MPD, and his MPD's have issues too! Who would've thought??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, for your viewing pleasure, here are the personalities and their conditions, in no particular order:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JP = Phybil, MPD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Clarus = Bisexual African American with Mother Issues, and EGO to the max, also a Dominant!&lt;br /&gt;2. Corey = Biracial Latino/Latina (depending on his mood or the party!) and White. Is a submissive!&lt;br /&gt;3. Chexxxy's Diaper = White woman missing many teeth, lives in a trailor with a lot of cats and is aspiring to be white trash. Vile. Bitter.&lt;br /&gt;4. The Real Anon = White woman, is a Passive/Aggressive personality, wants C.A. to be gay, believes he is and will be crushed if she is wrong!&lt;br /&gt;5. Go John &amp; Clay = Male, gay and another MPD. Doesn't know if he is John or Clay, wants to be both. Wants to do himself, and is just confused all the time, and bitter about it!&lt;br /&gt;6. WTF??? = White Skinhead, in the KKK and King Poobah of the Arian Nation!&lt;br /&gt;7. ANON = Female Paranoid Schitzophrenic. Crackhead. &lt;br /&gt;8. Anono = Male, Agressive and a troublemaker. Has no beef with anyone, just can't stand not being in a conflict when the bars are closed. Alcoholic.&lt;br /&gt;10. Anonomys = Meek, Milquetoast Submissive. A male that wants to be a woman, technically a Transexual that wants to date himself. Frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;11. Cambell = Likes soup.&lt;br /&gt;12. TRA = Woman, delusional, thinks that she inveted the use of initials. Possibly Asexual, a virgin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, as you can see, there is much conflict withing Phybil. In fact, I believe that each of his known personalities (there are more than likely more to be discovered) need medication, as does Phybil himself. He is a medical freak of nature as doctors don't really know how to medicate him without overmedicating him. Meds for one thing are not so good for others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep this in mind when you see Phybil posting so much, and lets give him a round of applause for sometimes keeping the names straight!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Submitted by: Dr. Jekyll-Hyde&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-2920032464300246070?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/2920032464300246070/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=2920032464300246070' title='46 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/2920032464300246070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/2920032464300246070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/06/phybil.html' title='Phybil'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>46</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-6847340940359905235</id><published>2007-06-07T16:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-07T17:30:35.435-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dear Team Clay</title><content type='html'>Yesterday and today marked the pinnacle of unrest for the Clay Nation at the OFC. Fans were tired of the blatant protection extended to the haters and the OC (both involved in the creation and photoshopped tabloid smear campaign) by moderators who, in our opinion, are sympathetic to those who want to bash, sass, and spread rumors, innuendo and outright lies about Clay Aiken.  Fans revolted and the message board got shut down.  We, the fans, hope this is a positive step toward cleaning out the joint and retiring mods assisting those who want to push agendas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The article that was (1) posted and (2) linked at the Official Fan Club was TABLOID which is against the TOU.  That is 2 strikes against the mods.  The article inferred that Clay was on his way to Paris to be a part of the gay swimming championships being held there (Strike 3).  Judging from the fact that these mods continuously side with those who try to make the world believe that Clay is a "liar", a "hypocrite", an internet troll and gay it would be reasonable to believe that the moderators were fully aware of what they were posting and the furor it would cause.  In the opinion of many, it was a deliberate attempt at perpetuating the ongoing character assassination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By virtue of those under the Moderators' protection, the very lizard-like butt pirate who started the MESS has been given access to the OFC without paying and he has "lifted" private OFC material.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TC, I also submit this for your consideration:  it is a sampling of who the Mods at the OFC protect:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Chexxxy and her thugs need to face reality and that's plenty of Clay's fans think he is gay, and the thugs aren't going to change that, and those fans have a right to belong to his fan club, and post. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chexxy and her ilk are shrinking in number day by day.

What has happened at the OFC the last few days has basically become the last straw in the fandom when it comes to the fight against a vicious smear campaign.  Some of the suppliers, promoters, enablers and, for Christ's sake, instigators may find themselves on the outside for once instead of stirring the turd from the inside....OR...it will be a mass banning of actual fans who pay their money to enjoy Clay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not a member and have refused to join the OFC until the haters, the OC with their agenda, and certain mods are gone; the sad part is that there are sooooo many just like me.  The entire fandom knows that the group that goes by "Openly Clay" (OC) are not fans of Clay Aiken but are fans of a character in their fanfic and graphics which they present in boi on boi sexual situations.  They have been a supply line to John Paulus both by association on his blog and by giving him access to their fanfic which he uses in many of his fairytales (no pun intended..well, let me think about it).  The idiot media and others who believed this lying asshole would not know differently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The long time members of the OC were the first to plant gay innuendo and outright lies on sites like DataLounge.  Bina created the fiction about Clay and John Dahlstrom (hairdresser) and even after JD, himself, told her that Clay is straight and to leave them both alone, she continues and has others continue in her stead while she avoids the line of fire.  Perhaps a little mutiny will see results and those associated with this particular message board will be ousted from the OFC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the haters will be ousted along with them and JP's supply line will be cut off from this source; however, the ousting needs to accompany the exit of some mods who have protected the OC, the haters and their agendas.  These mods have banned, warned and abused the paying members who ARE fans and who have brought certain "proof" to their attention of the involvement of members who are only at the OFC to do as much damage as possible.  The mods do creative editing whenever discord breaks out but they manage to leave the innuendo or lies of the OC and the haters (Soulful Ruben, KCE, stalkers and the Cafe of Bad Beans) while they delete vehement objections by fans of Clay Aiken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certain mods were originally on the RCA message board where the same tactics took place and they made sure that the message board became like a ghost town.  Makes you wonder if they aren't getting a share of the payola used to fund the smear campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a shame that a little fuckwad of a girl is permitted to come into Clay's house and bash him, bash religion and bash straight people then cry "homophobia" when fans get pissed.  She repeatedly does a hit and run as a form of entertainment for herself and the OC yet she does not get banned.  This really happened, folks, all because Clay will be doing a Christmas concert in a church this coming winter.  If Clay Aiken was doing a concert from an outhouse his fans would be there; does this now mean that we are against those who take a shit where one can flush?  Does not compute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The above incident pissed some fans off but it was the mods' decision to post a tabloid article from a Canadian ragmag as a "sighting" laced with innuendo on the OFC thread that really has fans up in arms.  Which is correct?  They have said in the past that Admin and Clay approves everything they do... or "..a decision was made by the mods" to post the piece of shit tabloid article.  One is a lie ladies.  Pack it up and take the rest of the mods with you because if they are that ineffective to stop YOUR bullshit (and you know who you are), they shouldn't be at OFC either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck, Mutineers.  You have my support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edited to add:  Asswipe has copied my blog for his swamp blog.  I'm flattered and he really gets ironic with his "rants" considering he lost touch with reality a long time ago.  Funny how ageisms work their way into his prose.  Here's my little ism:  You little lizard faced frog, hopefully a few of your supply lines will be cut off.  It'll match your dick.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-6669081951475746708?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/6669081951475746708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=6669081951475746708' title='18 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/6669081951475746708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/6669081951475746708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/06/mutiny-by-bountiful.html' title='Mutiny by the Bountiful'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-7723321948186663859</id><published>2007-06-01T20:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-04T09:23:24.932-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How to Convince the World That You Are an Idiot in 10 Easy Steps!</title><content type='html'>We need to take these lessons from that brilliant strategist, John Paul-ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  Write a story, with help, or steal it from fanfic, about your imaginary tryst with a celebrity. Pick a day when you are sure the celebrity will not be visible to the world. After all, you don’t want to be caught with your bare ass hanging out and the whole world laughing at you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  Take your story to the tabloids. No need to worry about truth in the media. The tabloids know how to publish bullcrap without getting sued. All they have to do is sprinkle the words “alleged” and “the source claims”, and you have removed the blame and can’t be held responsible. If the source is a nut job, so much the better! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.  After the story runs in the tabloids, you have probably convinced the not-to-logical that the story is real. So, if you are smart, you sit back on your (well used and reamed) laurels. However, if you are John Paul-ass, and you are not very smart, you don’t do this&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.  Go on every blog-site, shock jock radio show, and third rate interview that likes dirty stories, regardless of reality, and repeat your story, with all new frills each time. Make sure you add such things as different height for the person you met, time to the second when you were ordered to perform, a maintenance man that just appeared after you needed confirmation, and other on-the-spot details. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.  Start your own blog so you can continue to repeat your story over and over again, adding new details each time. Gather a group of ultra-gullible sycophants who will tell you how marvelous you are, even when your stories are getting crazier and crazier. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.  Tell your ultra-gullible sycophants that you are now having regular conversations with the celebrity that you tried to use for your instant fame as a porn star. The fact that only an idiot would believe this is not a problem for this group. They will believe ANYTHING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.  Tell your ultra-gullible sycophants that all you ever wanted was an apology, and now the object of your smear campaign has apologized, so you are closing your blog. There does not seem to be any logic for this, since the object of the smear campaign has released his album, told the world the story was bullshit, and continued to ignore you, but this group will believe ANYTHING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.  Reopen your blog. Admit to your ultra-gullible sycophants that you lied about the whole story. Next, change your mind and claim that you lied about the lie. It will not matter at all, this group will believe ANYTHING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.  Admit, on your internet blog, that you are stalking the celebrity target of your smear campaign. After all, you are still trying to meet him, so if it takes criminal activity to do it, go for it! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Tell your ultra-gullible sycophants that friends and fans of the object of your smear campaign are in a secret club and communicating with the celebrity. Tell your ultra-gullible sycophants that these friends and fans in the secret club are then passing the information on to you. They will not remember, or will ignore the fact that you claimed you were in communication with the celebrity. The only people who will remember it, and all of the other crazy things you’ve said for 17 months, are the sane people who are laughing at you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to go over the top to step 11, you tell your ultra-gullible sycophants that you also had an affair with an A-list celebrity, and hint that it was George Cloony. Don’t worry that no one in their right mind would believe that GC would look at you, especially for two months. Your ultra-gullible sycophants will believe anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Written by a Clay Fan who will remain anonymous&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-7723321948186663859?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/7723321948186663859/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=7723321948186663859' title='41 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/7723321948186663859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/7723321948186663859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/06/how-to-convince-world-that-you-are.html' title='How to Convince the World That You Are an Idiot in 10 Easy Steps!'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>41</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-1629809286523630050</id><published>2007-05-11T15:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-13T08:15:36.532-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Embracing One's Self Identification</title><content type='html'>Well, it seems someone at the John Paulus Swamp didn't like my pic of a bunch of losers holding on to their identity (crotch) so they decided to do a little hacking.

Perhaps this feeling of superiority is a delusion that comes with aging but in his case I think it's a precursor to senility.. or perhaps he just thinks he's all that.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There comes a good time in everyone's professional life when an exit can be made with dignity but Clive has missed that boat, in my opinion.  Remaining effective in a position such as his one needs an open mind.  Claiming to have one's finger on the pulse of music buyers should never be confused with having said finger stuck in one's own antiquated ass.  If Clive would breathe in deeply he'd realize that what he is smelling isn't money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's talk about the music buyers, or should I say music lovers?  Clive has lost that Lovin' Feelin'.  The man has become more about control and his tactic is Control by Abuse: abuse of payola, abuse by catering to Clear Channel, and abuse of his bread and butter meaning the artists.  I am a music buyer and a music lover although my choices have become very limited because of the likes of Clive Davis and what radio and the music awards have become (PAYOLA DRIVEN), thereby only exposing me, the public, to the music of the highest bidders who vie for 15 slots on CC's play list (via illegal payola).   Payola sucks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RCA and other labels wonder why they are taking drastic financial hits... and not for the good of their investors.  Well....duhhhhhhh!  What do you get when you add up payola, monopoly, mediocrity, and antiques?  The loudest bunch of horseshit, ever, guaranteed to make your ears bleed and you hear it over and over and over by the same 15 artists. As a direct result the music award shows are giving the awards to the same artists and because so few others are heard on the radio they (the 15) are nominated for their genre and outside their genre where it makes no sense whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A DJ left a post on an American Idol forum in answer to fans requesting play for Idol artists and here is what's happening in commercial radioland, not that we didn't already know it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's not so much that they hate street team activity, it's more that we can NOT act on it for the most part. You will find a station here and there that is independent where they make their own playlists, but for the most part radio is automated and preprogrammed and the jocks have absolutely NO SAY in what gets played (no pay the big guy, no play for the artist). We answer request lines because it keeps people tuned to the station, we tell the person we'll play the song even if we don't have it because it keeps you tuned in for longer than you might tune in normally. Stations want you to hear the commercials, not the songs."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next I want to bring you this from someone who used to work for CC:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Clear Channel is also very big on out-of-market voice tracking. This means that the DJ you hear on your station (s) may or may not even be local, but a jock from a larger market such as Denver that pre-records his show for playback at a certain time. They are faxed information about the city so they sound like they live there."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's the name of that tune!  Get PISSED!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is all this leading to in my diatribe about Clive Davis? As a friend and Equalizer put it, he just had a little Texas Spit-Fire kick him in the nuts (okay, so she didn't put it that way).  Those shriveled danglies had to be sore already after Clay put his size 13s to them last year.  Granted, Clive was going to win both the battles but he'll retire with a couple of well deserved battle scars and a crimped dick.  Kelly and Clay know their audiences and what they want.  We'll take anything Clay has to offer but we know he wanted to go outside the box Clive is trying to put him in and I'm sure Kelly was confident about what she was doing when she toed CLive's groin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are labels losing money?  Because moguls like Clive can't get out of their boxes or away from their own egos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY would Clive Davis even care WHAT the artists record when he can BUY airplay for someone farting the National Anthem and have it go multiplatinum?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Labels are also losing money because of the way the artists are being bent to one person's egotistical will.  Where it used to be a battle of the wills between the boss and the artist, now other outlets are being used to smear innocent kids in order to beat them into submission.  Nasty, nasty man using nasty, nasty gay gossips and gay hitmen and Clive made sure Clay was surrounded by them.  Can't wait to see who Kelly draws as a hitman or hitwoman.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lest we forget, I direct you back in time to this excellent blog article:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://chexxyspearls.blogspot.com/2006/10/clive-davis-hitman-or-screwup.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Final Comment:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clive, YOU ARE TOO TRANSPARENT.

type='text'>A PLACE FOR THE ILK:  MAGPIES ANONYMOUS</title><content type='html'>Ya know, I woke up to a bullshit comment this morning which I rejected.  I had planned to let everyone know about my fits of laughing hysterically at Paulus's latest fake emails written by his little buddies.  The fake emails had all the characteristics of KCE and the younger Bina corruptees at OC with a little bit of "Soulful" and bitter "Grouch" spices.  Knowing that our fanbase does not use the language shown in those emails it isn't really worth a long diatribe by Equalizers.  Let's just end this paragraph with... JP, YOU'RE A RIDICULOUS LIAR and GET SOME PSYCHIATRIC HELP......S**N!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 1:24 a.m. comment that I rejected was in answer to a comment stating that "Clay has done nothing wrong". Let's take the comment and break it down a little bit because I am going to love filling this wench in on something new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE COMMENT BEGINS &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If you want proof that Clay has done nothing, check out the requirements for someone that's been appointed to a presidential advisory committee. Yes, the FBI does do an investigation. Yes, Clay was accepted. He has done nothing wrong."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      **Anonymous was quoting the above from an earlier comment then she went on to say...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Correct. Because being gay, or webcamming for guys on the internet is not considered wrong except by narrow-minded claymates."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      **Being gay isn't wrong in our books either but being involved in the destruction of what respectable gays are working toward IS WRONG.  To tag someone the way the asswipe sect of the gay community does IS WRONG. "Outing" someone IS WRONG and mock "Outing" combined with character assassination of someone who is NOT gay IS DIABOLICAL.  The latter is something YOU have been heavily involved with.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Claymates are anything but narrow-minded and you know it but you just keep playing your little games trying to convince the public that your traits are ours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Now let's move to the second part of that sentence on "webcamming":  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***YOU KNOW, Paulus knows, Perez knows and many, many others know that the webcams and IMs never existed and you've seen the proof. You just keep chattering it up like a bunch of magpies with your pretending. YOU WERE CAUGHT, JP WAS CAUGHT and someone else was caught in that scam.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;     BACK to the rest of the comment&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It does not mean "he has done nothing" though. Just that it does not preclude someone from serving in that capacity."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     *** To which I say, "May we see your credentials?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comment you quoted IS correct.  Clay did nothing but YOU did and it is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of phony webcams, we believe another has been busted.  We'll know more when the results of the overlays are in our hot little hands.  Too bad Perez put his mark on the photo because now he gets the blame.  Couldn't happen to a more deserving buttmunch.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-1519843810677185668?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/1519843810677185668/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=1519843810677185668' title='55 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/1519843810677185668'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/1519843810677185668'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/04/place-for-ilk-magpies-anonymous.html' title='A PLACE FOR THE ILK:  MAGPIES ANONYMOUS'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>55</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-5075000935653466840</id><published>2007-04-26T23:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-27T07:57:01.216-07:00</updated><title type='text'>JP Lied?

Works for me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Edited 4/27 a.m. to add the nail in JP's coffin at the bottom:&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From http://www.ncld.org/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice article...goes something like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Celebrate Our 30th Anniversary With Us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NCLD celebrated its 30th anniversary at its annual benefit dinner, "Voices of our Children, Voices of our Future," Wednesday, April 25, 2007 at New York City's Marriott Marquis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dinner honored three outstanding individuals who have championed the needs of children with learning disabilities and have given them a strong public voice. You can read more complete biographies by clicking on the names below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•  Arthur Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Prudential Financial, Inc., received the Spirit of Achievement Award.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•  Clay Aiken, pop music star and special education activist, received the Children's Advocacy Award.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•  Donald D. Deshler, Ph.D., professor in the School of Education and director of the Center for Research on Learning at the University of Kansas, received the Distinguished Education Achievement Award."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Middle Finger #2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben Patrick Johnson says: &lt;br /&gt;Wow, okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay and I are both activists. My primary areas of interest are gay and lesbian civil rights, and the protection and education of children across the world. From the first I heard of Clay's activism, back in his Idol days, I was interested in his work and his foundation. Last year after I helped build a school in rural Thailand, Clay and I met to talk about how we could harness attention for what we believe in. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So ... yes, Clay and I are friends. We share beliefs and are both convinced the world can be made a kinder place. We meet on that level, and it's wonderful. I'm gay, and Clay? His private life is his own business. It's not yours, nor anyone else's. And it's not a part of my dialogue with him. We're busy talking about other things ... things that matter more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do gossips like you always try to sully the sincere efforts of others? Is it because you are ashamed of your own lack of action? Does sneering at Clay Aiken or Sanjaya or anyone who takes risks and puts themselves out there ... does that help you sleep at night? I've always been told that leaders lead while smaller minds are busy with speculation and gossip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which category do you fall into?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leave Clay alone. Or the Claymates and I will be over to give you 'what for'. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;April 26, 2007 9:17 PM &lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nope, didn't see the rants that the ilk were talking about.  General thoughts were that Mr. Johnson's blog video was well done and Clay looked great.  There were just a couple of questions as to whether it would prove to be a setup or if it was another scam for the gay gossip bloggers who hate their lives but... Ben landed his middle finger between their eyes and proved that some men just outclass others by a mile.  Oh, JP and Queerty tried to make it about them and their agenda but it seems Mr. Johnson's intentions are for the good of everyone, especially those who need a voice and a helping hand.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So tell us, did it hurt when those fingers landed?  Thump!  Thump!&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4/27/2007 *Thought this needed to be posted as well:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anonymous said... &lt;br /&gt;Found this article on the CH....look at the date....seems as though JP's spinning better keep spinning...as it clearly blows the theory that Clay was waiting to be on the show and at the last minute when they would not let him he flew to NYC in a huff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4/12/2007&lt;br /&gt;From a nationwide pool, the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) has selected Currey Ingram Academy as a featured school for its 30th Anniversary Benefit Dinner, “Voices of our Children, Voices of our Future,” to be held on April 25, 2007, in New York City.

Each year, this event recognizes individuals whom have given a strong voice to children with unique learning styles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Punctuating the night's award presentations will be performances by the Currey Ingram rock band and middle school chorus, led by Sean Kelly and Jody Nardone, respectively. The rock band will kick off the evening with two numbers, “Next Year,” by the Foo Fighters, and “The Boy Who Saved the World,” a song written by the Currey Ingram rock band in February as a Winterim project. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later that evening, the middle school chorus and rock band will combine to perform “Shine” and “I Will Carry You,” both originally sung by Clay Aiken. Aiken, who was a special education teacher before his slingshot to fame on American Idol, will be present to hear the performances and receive the Children’s Advocacy Award in recognition of the organization he created, the Bubel/Aiken Foundation for children with special needs. Introducing the rock band and presenting Aiken’s award will be John R.

We know what you are up to and we're pretty sure that we know what you hope to gain from it.  It's time for us to take things to the Court of Public Opinion ourselves and hopefully a Google Alert will go out about my blog coming up in a day or two.  Not likely, but on the off chance here is a hint:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nah... even what I was going to do seems like a waste of time after sleeping on it. A few people who have actually talked to JP say he is ratshit batshit crazy.  We know he is just a puppet with a lot of people's hands up his ass so lets discuss for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that JP has put more bullshit on his blog this time around than is feasible to be convincing.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that JP is trying to establish that Clay is a diva which is far from the truth...stubborn in his conviction to produce clean music his way.. but certainly no diva.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're pretty sure that he's doing all this now to establish Clay's fans as "threatening" in order to assist someone else in making a point.  What a crock.  He's claimed the fans got him fired but that's a lie.  He's claimed that we threatened and harassed him early on but that was a lie.  He claimed all this happened before we even knew who he was.  Truth is that maybe 4 or 5 people saw JP's earliest claim to have met Clay but they didn't give the rest of us any names or where to find the info.  By the time the fandom found out who he was and what was happening JP had already been given the boot.  He wasn't fired, he was asked to remove his license from the Real Estate company for other reasons, NOTHING to do with Clay's fans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that JP has been lying all along and we were rudely awakened to the lack of ethics on the part of the media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that JP has been assisted by other Idol fanbases, as he so stated in his deleted confession about this hoax but we also know he's been assisted by stalkers from Clay's past.  If we were as threatening as he says where jobs are concerned, there would be a middle-aged woman without a university job in Alberta and she certainly wouldn't be collecting grant money for stem cell research while running a scam on the BAF and now blogging with JP 24/7.  A certain man wouldn't still be working for a non-profit organization in St. Louis especially since we have screen shots of him right in the crux of things when JP &amp; friends were posting fans' personal information including job contacts and phone numbers then following up by harassing fans at home.  A certain middle-aged woman would be dressing paperdolls in a mental facility instead of theater actors and actresses and Children's Services would get a complete dossier of 4 years worth of posts before she was considered a fit mother to be.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lies will eventually catch up with all of you and I hope it's s**n. You are not worth Clay's time nor are you worth another minute of our angsting over your targeting an innocent man because of your jealousy.  The bigger puppeteers will eventually be known.  Hopefully, there will be more stringent laws and public awareness of the diabolical games played with celebrities lives and that powerful people don't care how innocent their victims and that the media has decided that honest investigative reporting isn't lucrative enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the media, if any are watching and dare to print the truth, here are the only truths to come from John Paulus:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 3/02/2007 1:12 AM John Paulus said... &lt;br /&gt;I've never met Clay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 3/02/2007 1:23 AM John Paulus said... &lt;br /&gt;If media wish to speak to me about this I will explain that this was all a hoax. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 3/02/2007 3:22 AM John Paulus said... &lt;br /&gt;The truth is that Clay and I never met in a hotel room on Jan 2.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-723695139451708123?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/723695139451708123/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=723695139451708123' title='53 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/723695139451708123'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/723695139451708123'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/04/seeing-red-helps-you-think-clearer.html' title='Seeing Red Helps You Think Clearer'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>53</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-8590831120276957574</id><published>2007-04-21T01:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-21T17:24:58.975-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ladies &amp; Gentlemen, I Give You Kelly Clarkson and Ruben Studdard Fans</title><content type='html'>Ever since Clay's UNICEF trip to Afghanistan became publicized the KCE bottom dwellers, Soulful Ruben scum of the Earth, con man JP and asswipe Clarus 65 along with a few others and their...ummm..Random Thoughts have been trying to detract from Clay's and UNICEF's good intentions.  Below are some of the comments from the CM411 blog where they congregate making plans to become advisers to UNICEF. My comments follow the asterisks:&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Seriously, since all the other ambassadors pay their own way, why does UNICEF even send Clay? It's not like he's that famous or can get anybody but his fans to donate. Why don't they just send somebody else?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't think that they would have sent Clay anywhere if he hadn't begged them. He also promised to actually try to do something this time, and offerred to manipulate his Claymates and squeeze them for money in return for the promotion. I wonder if UNICEF was surprised that Clay wasn't asked to perform on the AI Gives Back show, and Clay was embarassed and wanted to show what he could do for UNICEF? I don't understand this latest stunt at all, but I sincerely doubt that Clay would have done anything if it hadn't been for the AI Gives Back event and apparently having been left out. If there's one thing that you can count on, it's Clay's petty spitefulness and sense of vengeance. They motivate almost everything that he does.&lt;br /&gt;Dramamine | 04.21.07 - 12:28 am |"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**  "Stupid is as stupid does" in Dramamine's case (just some of her Random Thoughts, I guess).  She and her ilk are such experts on Clay since they stalk him, his message boards and his fans, right?  Wrong, otherwise she and they would have noticed the clues given quite a while before this season of AI aired.  A prime example was Clay's recommendation to read the book "Kite Runner".  Then he was seen carrying another book about Afghanistan before AI mentioned their big "AI Gives Back" show.  THEN there was the mention on Kimmel's Valentines Day Show of an upcoming UNICEF trip.  That was February in case the Stupids can't remember.  Dramamine, you are such a liar.  How many times do you have to get caught before your tongue becomes forked?&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe the Afghan papers would like to see OUR pics of Clay.&lt;br /&gt;Novocaine | 04.20.07 - 11:56 pm |&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** I'm guessing you mean the ones you photoshopped and sent to the tabloids.  Maybe the American and Canadian papers would like to see our pics of you all along with details of your part in the smear campaign.  How does that work for you, Novo?&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Novo: The fieldnotes blogs on the UNICEF site allow comments, but they are moderated, so nothing negative will be posted. Here's the general site.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dramamine | 04.20.07 - 11:43 pm &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** I don't think UNICEF wants to hear your shit.  A UNICEF person already made comment to fans at the Snowflake Lighting that what you asswipes have done to Clay is disgusting. Those aren't the exact words but "disgusting" was a little kinder.  I don't think they'll be too inclined to ever ask Kelly or Ruben to represent them since their vocal, tabloidistic fans are so against UNICEF, giving, and the organization's standard procedures.  Since they think Clay's fans are caring and giving like he is, chances are they think Kelly and Ruben are like you.&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is copied text from ceecis.org which pretty much spells out UNICEF's requirements for travelling ambassadors.  I don't think that UNICEF understood that Kelly's and Ruben's fans along with the stalkers and con men at CM411 are now supposed to dictate travel and expense protocol as well as publicity requirements to THEM.  They didn't get your memo.  Should we tell them that they need to void what's been in place for years and let you call the shots?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Costs. All costs associated with the visit will be covered by the office that initiates the request. The costs include travel, hotel accommodation, food and on-the-ground transport, and should be paid directly to service providers rather than by DSA, thus avoiding a direct transfer of funds to the Goodwill Ambassador.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The budget should also include costs of any stylist, hairdresser and make up artist for a press day, video shoot or fundraising event. Celebrities have a public image to protect and their public appearances often require careful staging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goodwill Ambassadors should be offered the option whenever possible to place phone calls from the UNICEF office or a UNICEF-provided mobile phone to avoid expensive telephone fees charged by a hotel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maximizing publicity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before, during and after the field visit, the Celebrity Relations and Special Events Section or appropriate office will work closely with the Media Section, the Regional office and the field office to identify key messages and co-ordinate media coverage and publicity. There are several key areas of media exposure:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;National Media. Depending on local circumstances, country offices are expected to mobilize national television and print media in advance of a visit. Background information about the Goodwill Ambassador, including copies of a biography, video footage and photographs, should be provided in advance to the office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;International Media. Media and Communication staff secure placement of stories and television or print interviews during the visit. For visits involving International Goodwill Ambassadors, HQ media staff will play a lead role. Depending on the scale and type of the field visit, the trip is pitched to a limited number of large publications and media outlets. The composition might include, for example, a magazine feature writer and photographer, TV crew (often it is best to arrange a newswire such as Reuters or APTN to cover the event to ensure the largest distribution) and a print journalist."&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Update 4/21/2007:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems that someone posted the above on the CM411 blog so the asswipes went into damage control mode.  Here is the gist of their posting gems this morning:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There was an article some time back about how Jolie takes a private jet and brings the people from the agency with HER at HER expense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am glad the delusional one brought over that little blurb about costs as it ONLY EMPHASIZES HOW GREEDY HE IS. All the other goodwill ambassadors (of which Faiken is not one) are offered to have their expenses covered if that is true and THEY REFUSE!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Ok!  Wait a minute.  These same people have been saying all week that other ambassadors of UNICEF and other charities don't get their endeavors publicized.  If that's true how could there have been an article about Jolie and all the others they claim to have "read" or "heard" about?  How does the CM411 KNOW that ALL other ambassadors "refuse" to be a part of the regular entourage.  Simple!  They know very little as usual.  But it still sheds light on what the KCE and Soulful Ruben people are all about...hate.&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Yet another Update 4/21..More stupidity coming from the swamp and the pond scum of CM411:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The anxiety disorder never really seemed legit to me. Especially since the anxiety only seemed to come on when Clay would be in situations with his Claymates. I think he was afraid he might be asked some tough questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel the same way, Perc. I think that Clay felt anxious, but only in certain circumstances, when he feared that he would be put on the spot, or when he knew that he would be meeting with industry people who knew of his reputation. That's very different from the type of panic attacks that he has claimed to have.&lt;br /&gt;Dramamine | 04.21.07 - 7:43 pm |"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Oh I think she is right because it was she and the other stalkers who used to be fans that prompted the anxiety.  They are "former fans" because Clay wasn't interested in their fug asses since they were showing them where he least expected them to show up.  If it had just been at the Meet &amp; Greets he would have been fine....but Nooooo.. they had to stalk him when he strolled on the beach, stalk him by waiting at back entrances of hotels to catch him when he came back from a movie, pouting in front rows because he didn't notice a new hairdo, etc.  Same people, same stalkers everywhere and they are posting at CM411 &amp; JP's.  I guess she does know what she's talking about this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Before you try to convince someone that you're an "insider" or an "expert", GET A FREAKING CLUE!

To the ilk who will be offended, I don't give a flying fuck! This is a result of recent questionable behavior of certain attorneys, both in the state of NC, circumstances leading to the tragedy of Virginia Tech and the cruel acts of the gay community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I said it once before recently. I no longer have faith in justice and I no longer have faith in the media. This past year and a half has shown me that they manipulate each other for personal gain with no conscience and with little or no compassion for the lives that are ruined in their path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forgive me but I am beside myself after staying up all night watching the tragedy of Virginia Tech unfold. A delusional little boy with fantasies about a former girlfriend..IF she was EVER his girlfriend... has unleashed his anger over something he couldn't have and it has scared the beJesus out of me. I want Stalker Boy arrested or institutionalized as well as those who have promoted him, cheered him on, perpetuated his lies, provoked him to keep going, assisted him in spreading the lies, photoshopped for tabloids, etc. These people are deluded if they do NOT see THEMSELVES as similar tragic figures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I grieve for the parents, family and friends of the slain but the tragedy is that they and the students who survived now and forever face a lifetime of nightmares as a result of someone's delusion."  Adding to this, I grieve for the families of those teachers who used their bodies against the doors to block the killer's entry into a classroom for as long as their bodies could hold out in order to protect the students.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The above is Rant 1&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have done a 180 on certain rights that certain radical gays are asking for and personally I want them to go back in the closet now. They do their own pissing on their own rights. I can't help the way I feel because what I have seen from the gay community is malicious behavior, vile acts toward one of the most innocent of victims, verbal abuse, relentless pursuit to make people believe a lie, planting of false evidence, slander, libel and an all out effort to ruin a person. Any excuse they give like wanting someone to come out because it would be good for the gay community is bullshit in my opinion. This is a game to them because they think like 5 year olds. We've seen it in JP, PH, BM and all the gay gossip bloggers." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"S****, I agree that there are decent gays out there including wonderful people who have been friends for a lifetime but these people have allowed the likes of Perez Hilton to speak for them. A certain attorney claims to be an advocate of GLAAD yet  posts and publicly files innuendo. She is no better; therefor, I have to think that many more out there are equal opportunity liars."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would I like to see?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. AI cancelled because they created and continue to create controversy for individual contestants for the sake of ratings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The Simons and Nigel deported&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Murdoch and Fox and all his affiliations investigated to the max &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Tabloids (American Media Inc) shut down or sued beyond financial recovery by every celebrity who has been a victim of their malicious intent.  That's what scandalous lies are in my book&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.  JP, Perez, Groucho, Emach and Woodle removed from Society via jail or mental hospital for the criminally insane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.  Gay gossip bloggers, magazines, and media personnel who make a sport of "outing" people should be ousted for their abuse of Freedom of Speech.  They use this to blackmail those who are gay and use it to relentlessly hound the innocent who aren't but who have pissed them off somehow which is the case with Clay who is no more gay than I am.  They are blackmailing the entire entertainment industry as well as political figures who don't give them what they want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Edit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.  I'd like to see the fan wars stopped here and now.  There is no shame in taking pride in the Idol you support but putting an entertainer and their fans down for the sake of elevating another is the most wasted effort any of us can be involved in.  We have finally been given the opportunity to hear music again and I have embraced all the Idols.  Of course, I have favorites and, of course, Clay is my favorite of all.  How can I object to someone else appreciating a voice or a song that give them pleasure?  How can I fault someone who has a favorite that isn't the same as mine when we have such varied tastes?  What I find deplorable is the effort to err on the side of provoking hatred.  We've all been victimized by the AI machine which is the bottom line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it possible for all of us to let it go and recognize how we've all been manipulated for sales and ratings?  No more tragedy of trying to ruin such beautiful spirits who give us so much joy?  An Olive Branch maybe?  All sides will be heard regarding this blog but I still reserve the right to edit or reject hurtful bullshit for the sake of hurting out of delight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***NOTE:  This blog will be subject to edits througout the day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-4398587128177644246?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/4398587128177644246/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=4398587128177644246' title='29 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/4398587128177644246'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/4398587128177644246'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/04/controversial-rant.html' title='Controversial Rant'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-5973763042480435805</id><published>2007-04-13T16:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-13T18:11:17.471-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Pride and Prejudice?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.unicefusa.org/site/c.duLRI8O0H/b.25933/k.8DDD/US_Fund_for_UNICEF__US_Fund_for_UNICEF.htm"&gt;US Fund for UNICEF&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we are at UNICEF's page where donations can be made for the urgent needs of Afghani children. Clay has requested that those who can, please help in raising $100,000 in 10 days for this specific cause. It's what an Ambassador does; it's their job for UNICEF. Clay's appeal for funds has prompted amazing response and the mission has almost been accomplished in a little over 24 hours. It looks like the thermometer has risen to almost $80,000 already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is this possible? Clay knows that most people are passionate about the needs of children. Clay and UNICEF are aware that his fans are a different breed, are givers, are passionate, and most of all loving. While some believe that these are the more disgusting traits of Clay and his fans all I can say is Up YOURS! Those who have a problem with us will just have to eat my shorts. I wouldn't trade all the good that is in us for all the evil that is in them for anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's do a comparison, shall we? I've brought over some comments from the CM411 blog and for those who aren't familiar with CM411, these are vile subhumans from Kelly Clarkson Express (including their Mod DirectorSandy), Soulful Ruben and other ilk who have made their way to the blog. They are dead inside and they only live for their hatred.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Examples of their comments followed by my comments with asterisks:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"what a shame that aiken as their ambassador is not able to bring new people to their organization.only lunatic old mats&lt;br /&gt;anony 04.12.07 - 10:05 pm "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*** and you know this how?????????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He only wants $100,000 raised in 10 days to make HIMSELF look good.&lt;br /&gt;Greedy little bastard. Dramamine 04.12.07 - 10:02 pm "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*** He's giving of his time and we're giving to UNICEF. You're just yapping with your purse closed so who is the greedy one? Yep, he looks good and you look like an idiot. Feel better?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kathy Griffin went to Afganistan, and Iraq, and did shows, and toured the whole country. And in the last blog it said Suzie McNeil did as well. Those are the people that deserve all the accolades Faiken is hamming it up for, but they don't use it to advertise themselves, they go there strictly to give back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unicef realizes they can get a chunk of money by having Faiken pester the mats, if he says jump over a cliff, they do it, and they probably have a corporate jet that was going to Afganistan anyway, just shove Faiken in it as well and they can get the mat money.&lt;br /&gt;midol 04.13.07 - 6:41 pm "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***Well, if their trip wasn't publicized how'd you find out about it? Perhaps you need an injection of those stem cells you've been researching. Might make you more human and instill the decency to stop your internet trolling of Clay Aiken on University time while collecting grant money. Earn it, bitch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, we know what you say about us and Clay. Thought I'd give you a taste of what's said about YOU at Chexxxy's:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Do these people know how truly STUPID they sound? They play and play this game but when an article like the press release hits them, they open their mouths and STUPID falls out."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*** Thanks, Myaikenback, you said a mouthful and nothing fell out. It flowed like music to my ears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION AFTER READING THIS ENDLESS DRIVEL DAY IN AND DAY OUT, THAT THE ONLY LOGICAL EXPLANATION IS THAT WE ALL FELL DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AND WE ARE NOW ATTENDING A VERY LENGTHY "MAD HATTER'S TEA PARTY"&lt;br /&gt;NOTHING ELSE WOULD MAKE SENSE ..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*** ROFLMAO! This was borrowed from Sansue and she was kind enough to share the laugh with everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Perez couldn't keep his innuendo laden bullshit out of his comments about Clay's trip to Afghanistan. He mentioned that Clay didn't have a chance to troll the internet..of course, he leaves out the fact that he's the one doing the trolling while impersonating Clay and has been for 4 years. Anyway, we know all about Perez's passions... Ohhhh, some of you don't? Well perhaps the most passionate I've seen Perez is when he did a Rant Thread against the FBI. Guess he wasn't too happy when he found out that IPs that visit the same Child Porn site 3 times get blocked from the internet. Guess we know his real passion for children, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When all is said and done, Perez and the low lives at CM411 and the Swamp are the big losers. Kelly and Ruben must be proud (snort, not really).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Clay and his fans and the efforts to reach our goals, we do as we were meant to do. Mamarose10 from the CB sums it up the best I've seen so far:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Claymates...Clay fans...THIS is what it is about. THIS is what WE do. THIS is who WE are!!! There is no denying we have taken some undeserved abuse from time to time. But the TRUTH is the TRUTH and the TRUTH of who we are and what we do will always rise to the surface!!!!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*** My final comment to the ilk who could never understand Clay, us or what MamaRose has said: Neener Neener!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-5973763042480435805?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/5973763042480435805/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=5973763042480435805' title='29 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/5973763042480435805'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/5973763042480435805'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/04/pride-and-prejudice.html' title='Pride and Prejudice?'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-5429517891962869070</id><published>2007-04-06T09:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-07T16:28:34.357-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Making Good on a Promise!</title><content type='html'>So this is what it comes down to: JP retracts his confession, all very timely to coincide with a judge hearing and about to rule on the Holleman vs Aiken frivolous lawsuit. He just couldn't let the extra day in the sun go by so he and his co-conspirators must reap what they sew, in my opinion. Pay back is a bitch. Two of us have contacted investigative journalists who are impartial and fair. We've provided links to evidence of Clay's innocence in all these allegations and we will offer names and locations of JP's cohorts should they wish to expose the criminals backing this delusional stalker without a soul. Fans needn't worry because I have asked that nothing be forthcoming until our signal. There is a time for everything but the wheels are in motion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Update:  Contrary to what the asswipes would have the world believe, I do have a life away from Clay and the computer and away from this blog.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I've been away there's been a ton of comments and I'll get to them shortly; I wanted to let you know first that Woodward and Bernstien Jr. answered the call to help set things right for our Idol.  Deep Throat is coming out of retirement and will be joined by his sons, Big Esophogus and "Skinny" Epiglotis who will do most of the digging.  Deep Throat will relay the information to me from behind a pillar in the garage at Camelback and 9th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is all.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-5429517891962869070?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/5429517891962869070/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=5429517891962869070' title='54 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/5429517891962869070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/5429517891962869070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/04/making-good-on-promise.html' title='Making Good on a Promise!'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>54</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-8312751873565173972</id><published>2007-03-29T20:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-03-29T20:49:34.532-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Holleman vs Aiken: Greed vs Class</title><content type='html'>A few comments have already made their way here and I'll be bringing over related comments that were posted to the previous blog. For those who want to get current with the latest, you can read it here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://clay-aiken-news.blogspot.com/2007/0...clay-aiken.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems that Ms. Holleman's attorney chose to showboat a topic that had NOTHING to do with the case at hand and in essence was outclassed "on all fours" by Clay's attorney. What the outcome will be, I have no clue. I'm not too trusting of justice anymore. If the system works correctly the judge will throw out this frivolous suit, penalize the plaintiff and her attorney, and Rockey baby will be disbarred for her total lack of ethics. Using Ms. Holleman's past abuse experiences as relevant in her presentation seems out of whack. Could it be that these women never expected this to make it through the Courts? Were they expecting some sort of payoff before things advanced into the judge's hands?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Backtracking some facts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plaintiff's attorney left a shitty message in the book review section of Amazon.com months ago totally ignoring the book and writing a review of her case. Something very familiar about her dropping an innuendo into that "review" as well. At first people were giving the benefit of the doubt that maybe it was just one of the haters doing their thing in one of their chosen fields,Impersonation, but then the attorney pretty much played the same card on her site. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't believe I've ever seen anything like this which made me contemplate my navel. Why? Is she a Kelly Clarkson fan, a Ruben Studdard fan, part of the Gay Hit Contingency? Or is she just that loony? JP claimed in the past to "know" Jeannie Holleman and he thought about using Ms Rockey himself at some point in time. Things that make you go, "Hmmmmmmm?" If I was Clay's attorney I'd issue a subpoena for Ms. Holleman's bank statements to see if her attorney PAID HER to file this suit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm open to anyone else's theory if you have one.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-8312751873565173972?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/8312751873565173972/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=8312751873565173972' title='25 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/8312751873565173972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/8312751873565173972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/03/holleman-vs-aiken-greed-vs-class.html' title='Holleman vs Aiken: Greed vs Class'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>25</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-3243903522417371236</id><published>2007-03-18T17:45:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-03-18T17:45:53.796-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Double Bwaaahaaa!</title><content type='html'>There is no substitute for GENIUS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kellyclarksonfraudsquad.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.kellyclarksonfraudsquad.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-3243903522417371236?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/3243903522417371236/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=3243903522417371236' title='28 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/3243903522417371236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/3243903522417371236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/03/double-bwaaahaaa.html' title='Double Bwaaahaaa!'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>28</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-4254447590635246303</id><published>2007-03-07T17:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-03-07T19:13:11.298-08:00</updated><title type='text'>History Repeats Itself</title><content type='html'>In light of the John Paulus confession and in light of the fact that he mentioned that the webam escapade was really a conversation between Clay and some women, someone figured it was time to bring out the proof that there was NO webcam escapade.

For those who haven't read what was copied from his blog, here is some of what he said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Paulus&lt;/span&gt; said...&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Percocet&lt;/span&gt; is a victim of the "haters" influences. When I started defending Clay they became unhinged. Clay and I never met nor have we ever had sex. To my knowledge he is straight or bi curious. I will share more about this scheme put together by posters on the 411 over the weekend.  3/02/2007 1:15 AM"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'll give you the honor of my presence to share that Clay nor anyone has put me up to anything. I did not have sex with Clay, I have never met Clay for sex, and I don't know if Clay is gay or not. The hook ups and emails were all concocted and Clay has been a victim of a ruse. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Claymates&lt;/span&gt; were right all along and so were you &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Percocet&lt;/span&gt;. I'm just a lying, evil man and you have help me to see that I need to change and be honest so that's why I'm finally sharing the truth. Sorry Clay for the year of lies against you.John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Paulus&lt;/span&gt;  03.02.07 - 4:05 am "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Paulus&lt;/span&gt; said... Oh Good.. you're finally going to admit you lied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep. 3/02/2007 1:09 AM "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Paulus&lt;/span&gt; said... Would you love me if I told you it was nothing but a story concocted by another Idols fans and I was nothing, but the front person in this scheme? 3/02/2007 1:11 AM"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Paulus&lt;/span&gt; said... I've never met Clay. So how can there be a connection? 3/02/2007 1:15 AM "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Paulus&lt;/span&gt; said... &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Percocet&lt;/span&gt; is a victim of the "haters" influences.

Now really I have to go to work in a few hours. I must go to sleep and plus, I may have a new boyfriend."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Paulus&lt;/span&gt; said...Were you paid?My only compensation was that they would get me in touch with Lucas to do porno."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Paulus&lt;/span&gt; said...&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Percocet&lt;/span&gt; is just a numb front person. It's the others on there that are behind this whole thing. When I had my blog I would &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;occasionally&lt;/span&gt; post and that's why you say different styles and why it appeared on was on all night. There are a group of 8 people. I was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;recuited&lt;/span&gt; back in July of 2005 from &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;bigmuscle&lt;/span&gt;.com. They saw me there and that I was muscular, attractive, and from NC. and persuaded me to help them. So we worked out this scheme over 6 months and put it into place going over ever detail. I even took 3 prior lie detector test so that I could pass one by any media that gave me one."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;Paulus&lt;/span&gt; said...Why are you doing this NOW? What has changed?Because when I told the haters I was over this and didn't want to be a part of their game and I defended Clay by saying he looked good and happy on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;Kimmel&lt;/span&gt; they attacked me and said I was a traitor. I can not go on lying for them and destroying a good person."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;Paulus&lt;/span&gt; said...Are you saying Clay is not gay? And the evidence they had, was that Clay with a man or a woman?And where did you get your inside information? Like before going on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;GMA&lt;/span&gt; in Sept. that he was on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;meds&lt;/span&gt;?When we started the blog there were people who disliked Clay's saying that LA had rotting guts and they were willing to share information on Clay. Clay pissed off some powerful people by not playing ball."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;Paulus&lt;/span&gt; said...By the way, I believe &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"&gt;revnoles&lt;/span&gt; account was rick's but I can't be for certain."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As most of us have read, he is now trying to convince people that the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25"&gt;webcam&lt;/span&gt; shots were actually taken while Clay was talking to women but we already know that the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26"&gt;webcams&lt;/span&gt; were &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27"&gt;photoshops&lt;/span&gt;, proven so by the "We Support Clay Aiken" blog back in late May/early June.  He's also saying that one of the gals had her boyfriend pretend to be the "Boston School Teacher" which we know exists about as much as the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28"&gt;webcam&lt;/span&gt; conversation and the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29"&gt;webcam&lt;/span&gt; photos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The above are only chosen excerpts of John repeating a question and then answering it;  I saw no need to copy the comments since they are unimportant and of the same ilk as always.  The fact is that JP admits the smear campaign was a hoax and changing a few details doesn't make the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30"&gt;webcam&lt;/span&gt; crap any more credible than it was the first time around. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we come to a new blog (which shall go nameless) which printed a very eloquent &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31"&gt;summary&lt;/span&gt; of the "Confession" but whose wording seems very familiar in the comments section.  I find it to be bait; the wording is all too familiar.... you know... say a few words on the positive side but make sure you counter with a negative.  Ye &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32"&gt;olde&lt;/span&gt; drop the innuendo in hopes of gaining a few recruits. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I really find amazing is that NONE of the gossip mongers have picked up on the story yet when they were so quick in the past to pick up anything Clay.... as long as it was his (nonexistent) scandal.... as long as it was lies... as long as it dirtied someone clean.  Just goes to show that you can't trust a gossip.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-7538816251767698527?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/7538816251767698527/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=7538816251767698527' title='44 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/7538816251767698527'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/7538816251767698527'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/03/so-here-we-are.html' title='SO HERE WE ARE!'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>44</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-117246327295224066</id><published>2007-02-25T19:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-26T10:14:59.266-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What's New?</title><content type='html'>So, okay, Wombats and I are emailing back and forth taking turns laughing our asses off.  You might wonder, "Why the joviality?" Seems Karma is beginning to spread her wings a little and it ain't us.  We are kicking back, vegging out and watching the show elsewhere.  If you remember, there was a reading assignment list at "Anatomy" and the "New" item is a blog devoted to kicking butt.  Clay said to "Kick Butt!", right?  So let it be written, so let it be done!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can find the 4 informative blogs posts here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://kellyclarksonfans411.blogspot.com/2007/02/anti-fans-and-haters.html&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://kellyclarksonfans411.blogspot.com/2007/02/isnt-he-lovely.html&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://kellyclarksonfans411.blogspot.com/2007/02/directorsandy.html&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then my favorite so far here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://kellyclarksonfans411.blogspot.com/2007/02/ellen-kaori-shibuya-phd.html&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, in the comment section the blogger got the customary and obligatory visit from the Ruben faction when the blogs weren't even about the Ruben fans involved in the smear campaign.....yet.  It tickles me that there are visuals accompanying these blog posts and I'm even more tickled that fans who aren't members at Chexxxy's but do stop here on occassion can click on the links and face their her-assers and 1 his-asser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So then Wombats finds another link: http://fuckperezhilton.blogspot.com/ &lt;br /&gt;and we're all but losing it.

We will support her by not jumping on the bandwagon. In a recent article I just read this morning, PH says that he doesn't make accusations about someone's gender preference unless he knows them to be true. A year ago we uncovered exactly what he does and how he does it so all I can say about his "truth" is, "LIAR!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since he thinks with his asshole, he has no problem pulling this kind of shit out of it just to stir the turd in the punchbowl hoping it will make him enough money off the hits. Perhaps he has to do something in order to pay for the suits being filed against him...may they be successful in dropping him to his knees and not for the purpose of his pleasure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PH, I don't know what your underlying REAL problem is, FOOL, other than self-loathing but why not just leave our celebrities alone and quit blackmailing them to make yourself seem important? You have undermined what the respectable half of the gay community is working toward and celebrities HATE you. Get it? There is nothing endearing about you, there is nothing redeemable about you and there is nothing about you that is likeable. Some celebrities tolerate/cater to you in order to keep from being blackmailed by the likes of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What someone is or isn't, what someone wants to be or not be, and what celebrities want the public to know about their private life is their shot to call, not yours. In my new unabridged dictionary the definition of "Outing" is "Blackmail". So who are you blackmailing at the GMA set or the ABC Network? It's the only way you would get a spot on that show because people Just Aren't That Into YOU! You poor pathetic loser in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We won't give you the hits that you were expecting from the Clay Nation. We will sit back and see how this pans out but we won't engage on YOUR cowpie of a site. If you thought we'd be there en masse to gloat, you are mistaken. We know that Kelly is innocent and straight just as we know that Clay is innocent and straight. You and those like you are a disease that nobody wants. Your crotch crickets sing so loudly that you can't think like an adult... make that like a human being with an ounce of integrity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PH, FUCK YOU!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Technorati tags:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Perez+Hilton" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Perez Hilton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Clay+Aiken" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Clay Aiken&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/American+Idol2" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#000099;"&gt;American Idol2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Clayton+Aiken" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#000099;"&gt;Clayton Aiken&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/AI2" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#000099;"&gt;AI2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Claymates" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#000099;"&gt;Claymates&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/TMZ" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Gay" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/John+Paulus" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Jeff+Varner" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116896811101811628?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116896811101811628/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116896811101811628' title='27 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116896811101811628'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116896811101811628'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/01/equalizers-takes-stand.html' title='EQUALIZERS TAKES A STAND !!!'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>27</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116873249362056999</id><published>2007-01-13T15:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-16T08:21:51.456-08:00</updated><title type='text'>IS IT WAR YET?</title><content type='html'>I think it's coming! "S**N!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, I have to divert your attention to the Claymate911 Blog today as Nighthawk calls out some members of the 411 hate blog and the lazy media who have been so easily duped by a small band of escapees from various State Institutions. No, I am not Nighthawk and she is not me. I don't write that eloquently when I'm in a facing you down mode. I can't help throwing into the mix a few explatives... explitives...exple.... ah SHIT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, because I'm not attempting to be eloquent I thought I'd enlighten those readers who go from here to there. You will see where Nighthawk shows posts made on that other blog filled with hate and deception by characters with screen names such as MPSLC and Percocet. Of course, you might not know who these players are so let me clue you in. MPSLC is more commonly known as "Mypeesmellslikecheerios" and "Woodle" from Soulful Ruben and Percocet is believed to be DirectorSandy who is a Moderator at Kelly Clarkson Express message board and "Tinfoilhat" at her Tinfoilhat hate blog and message board. The board is private now because this is where most of the plotting is done for new tabloid stories by those soul(less) gals and the rejects from the KCE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just thought you'd like to know. Oh! I did come across a copy of MPSLC's comment where she was trying to make others in her group believe that someone had made me stop my attacks on the lies. Perhaps you should lay off those meds because that was another lie you got caught in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heartily salute the new Claymate911 blog and I whole heartedly give 411 the One-Fingered salute. Pffffffffffft!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Added 1/14: Looks like a Pro-Clay blog attack happening so here is another coming in under the wire &lt;a href="http://www.marhaven.blogspot.com"&gt;www.marhaven.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt; It's another MUST READ. Keep up the assault.**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing this blog about those who fabricate sleaze and those who report it, I leave you with my thoughts for today:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***Those who are listening and believing are too lazy to find the truth. Those who are hearing and not believing already know the truth. Those distorting the truth are dead inside so they hear nothing but the voices in their heads.***&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116873249362056999?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116873249362056999/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116873249362056999' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116873249362056999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116873249362056999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/01/is-it-war-yet.html' title='IS IT WAR YET?'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116845751103905935</id><published>2007-01-10T11:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-13T10:11:51.230-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I Can DIG IT !!!!!</title><content type='html'>Especially when the digs are on the worst AssWipes and ButtMunchers in the Universe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://claymate911.blogspot.com/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116845751103905935?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116845751103905935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116845751103905935' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116845751103905935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116845751103905935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/01/i-can-dig-it.html' title='I Can DIG IT !!!!!'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116823204200562528</id><published>2007-01-07T20:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-11T23:46:16.150-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Wacky News [For Entertainment Purposes Only (snort)]</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1390/2877/1600/118197/wackynewsee6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1390/2877/400/629576/wackynewsee6.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116823204200562528?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116823204200562528/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116823204200562528' title='26 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116823204200562528'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116823204200562528'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/01/wacky-news-for-entertainment-purposes.html' title='Wacky News [For Entertainment Purposes Only (snort)]'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>26</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116803483915439961</id><published>2007-01-05T14:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-07T19:39:23.876-08:00</updated><title type='text'>YEAH!

You know how we're always thinking about how Clay will ever top something he's done and how we don't think we can love him anymore, yet he always manages to floor us with something new. I'm really excited about this new year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm making this blog post short and sweet right now because a fan started something on another board and I thought it would be fun to carry over some of that humorous enthusiasm here. Please comment on a Resolution you'd like to see happen since Clay said this year would be a "FRESH START" (i.e. I hope to see the retirement of _____). I will add some of your witty and applicable comments on this front page so have at it. Let's see what the fans really want to see happen in the very near future.&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Update 1/3/2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This comment just in and I felt it should be answered followed by a question from me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "&lt;a href="http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/01/ringing-in-new-year.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR&lt;/a&gt;":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OhCrap, is your name really *****?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANSWER: No that isn't my name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;QUESTION: Is it true that Jody, the Stub Hub Stalker, gave you the list of AZ Clay fans so that you Kelly Clarkson and Ruben Studdard fans could harass us?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116767206145246165?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116767206145246165/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116767206145246165' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116767206145246165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116767206145246165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2007/01/ringing-in-new-year.html' title='RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116744461028066295</id><published>2006-12-29T17:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-04T17:29:42.580-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Creative Editing 101: How Media Dolts Dupe the Public</title><content type='html'>So now we have the TMZ Fox Affiliate with their own attempt at getting a little publicity for themselves at Clay Aiken's expense. I think it's just one unsavory employee but it's still a reflection on the station and the network, in my opinion. According to first reports hitting the internet, a couple of local talents were "bumped" from a concert because Clay wanted to sing an extra song. Well, after a couple of people checked it out they discovered that the concert had the same set list and ran about the same amount of time as the others except for the couple of concerts where there were strict time constraints at the venue and Clay left out one of his own songs rather than cut the orchestra's time short. Hmmmmm... doesn't sound divaish to me. We also found out the local talents at his last concert were NOT "bumped" by Clay Aiken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone actually asked a couple of questions and got some honest answers from Ms. Crawford of the Greensboro Symphony and they are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1_ Greensboro Symphony was hired by a promoter to be the orchestra for Clay Aiken&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2_ The promoter informed the Symphony that we needed to prepare a 50 minute first half&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3_Although we protested and said it was too long and people were coming to hear Clay, we were still requested to prepare a first half. This was also included in the rider sent by Aiken management.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4_ After checking with several orchestras, we prepared both a 50 minute and 30 minute first half.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5_ Due to our contracts with musicians, we are not allowed to perform something without a rehearsal, if it has not been performed within 30 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6_ We were told that we would only have about 15 minutes to rehearse. We informed promoter we would be performing pieces from our Holiday Concert so we would not need much rehearsal time. Our Holiday concert is mostly singing. We informed promoter we would have singers and e-mailed the program&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7_ We received an e-mail from Community Theater asking if the 2 Triad Idol singers could perform on concert. They had performed with us in October at our education concerts. We checked with promoter and were given the green light to invite them to perform WITH the Symphony not WITH Clay Aiken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8_ Once rehearsal began, Aiken management asked that we not perform any non-Holiday songs. We only had orchestra charts for the Triad Idols for 2 songs and they were non-Holiday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9_ We told the 2 Triad Idol singers, we would need to cancel their songs. We still wanted to include them in the concert and we asked Aiken 'MANAGEMENT' if they could lead the Christmas Song sing-along. Aiken management was very gracious and said this would be fine along with the little girl singing the Hippo song. When we told the Triad idol singers, they seemed very glad to still be part of the show. Throughout the evening, they did not indicate they were unhappy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10_ We cannot control what people do in order to gain 15 minutes of fame. We do not believe in feeding a media frenzy over nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the young man comes forward and tattles on whomever did the interview and here are the pertinent admissions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, I was on the news Fri. before the concert and Fox 8 was expecting me to be on stage Sat., and I wasn't!!! So they called me Wed. @ 9:27 AM and asked me what happened!!! And all I did was answer honestly!!! It is not my fault that not everything of my 45 min. interview was put on the news!!! So all you people saw was what was against Clay!!! You people need to understand that all I did was answer questions!!! "&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, we understand quite well but what the young man doesn't understand is Clay Aiken had NOTHING to do with this set of circumstances. This was between/among the Greensboro Symphony, the promoter, the Community Theater representative who sent the e-mail, the Triad Idols, and Clay's MANAGEMENT who wanted to keep with the Seasonal Songs because it was a CHRISTMAS CONCERT........HELLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Clay Aiken doesn't even enter the picture...probably because he was still asleep when the decision was made and it was made by whomever told the young Idols... who, according to the above, still made an appearance leading in the singing of a.. ummmm... Seasonal Song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My heart goes out to the youngsters who got a taste of show biz. Major acts have been "bumped" by major shows because they ran longer than planned with other guests. These major stars that are "bumped" often spend hundreds on flight, taxi, and hotel accommodations only to be asked to come back at a later date. It's tough for anyone to have to suck it up when you're looking forward to sharing a spotlight; the show must go on and that's just what happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps a certain interviewer should have had a little more maturity in his thinking and should not have subjected a 15 year old to "Creative Editing" consequences...which I'm sure he (the interviewer) was counting on. It happens everytime an unsavory person (in my opinion) has an unsavory agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. V and TMZ, shame on you! Would you like beers to go with that egg on your faces?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116744461028066295?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116744461028066295/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116744461028066295' title='34 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116744461028066295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116744461028066295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/12/creative-editing-101-how-media-dolts.html' title='Creative Editing 101: How Media Dolts Dupe the Public'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>34</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116663770695534706</id><published>2006-12-20T09:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-30T13:46:29.310-08:00</updated><title type='text'>When does Someone's Butt Look Better than Someone's Face?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1390/2877/1600/913420/assclack.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1390/2877/400/861299/assclack.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1390/2877/1600/430955/Howard%20Stern.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1390/2877/400/127393/Howard%2520Stern.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1390/2877/1600/334189/348681.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1390/2877/400/984518/348681.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enough Said!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116663770695534706?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116663770695534706/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116663770695534706' title='45 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116663770695534706'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116663770695534706'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/12/when-does-someones-butt-look-better.html' title='When does Someone&apos;s Butt Look Better than Someone&apos;s Face?'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>45</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116567657303995107</id><published>2006-12-09T06:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-20T14:42:12.663-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Comedian Clay Aiken</title><content type='html'>Don't you just love his snark?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually I'm frantic for the downloads of Clay's performances from the wonderful Clack Goddesses but this Christmas Tour has provided us with some of the best off-the-cuff comedy that puts the likes of Conads NoNads, Leno and other professional comedians to shame. They have writers but our guy needs none. The natural connection and affection between Clay and his fans allows for enough material to keep him and us in stitches forever. The difference between his type of humor and the scripted kind is that Clay can poke fun at himself and us without being hurtful. We adore him for his many quirks (he so knows) and he's proven 10 times over that he loves our quirkiness as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a smart man! Clay has taken the sting out of the next bit of bird cage fodder allegedly coming to a grocery store near you. We've seen the post elsewhere from a gal claiming that Clay is the father of her "love child" from his college days in Charlotte. The comedy of this error is that he doesn't know this person (nor does anyone else) so he had no problem making jokes about this Not-a-Story during his Christmas Not-a-Tour. Yet another "in your face" by the King of Snark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I have heard that is NOT so funny (and I can't remember where I saw this) is that someone is angry enough to try tracking down who or where the photo of the little boy came from for the purpose of reporting the parent(s) to Children's Services for using an innocent child in this tabloid manner. It would be sad if someone is using their own child or if someone "borrowed" the child from innocent, unsuspecting parents who might be implicated in this latest scam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to my CLACK!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116567657303995107?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116567657303995107/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116567657303995107' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116567657303995107'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116567657303995107'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/12/comedian-clay-aiken.html' title='Comedian Clay Aiken'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116489750967087849</id><published>2006-11-30T06:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-07T11:27:45.413-08:00</updated><title type='text'>IT'S THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND CLAY IS SINGING</title><content type='html'>First thing's first! Thank you all for your heartfelt condolences on the passing of my Aunt. Something like this is hard enough to take but when tragedy strikes during the Thanksgiving and Christmas Season it casts a giant shadow over what should be a celebration. I have been so grateful for the support and lifting of spirits by my fellow Clay Friends on this blog and the private blog. Thanks to Art and everyone else for bringing links to some beautiful montages and to Calico for creating her own and to those who entertained us with the "Ripacrite" photos and Youtubes. Some had me laughing until I peed my pants and those laughs were much needed by us all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now comes the excitement of the NotaChristmasTour. What will Clay wear? Will his hair be long and feathery or will it be trimmed a little? Will he have bangs or will his hair be swept to the side? What socks will he surprise us with? Will he be wearing a T-shirt or 10?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHO CARES, RIGHT? Clay Aiken is back on the Road. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CLAY!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to celebrate the excitement and happiness I feel when Clay Aiken sings, talks and looks into the camera with those sparkly eyes and big smile. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to celebrate the fact that both my parents are still here and they are still healthy; however, the reality of life has hit me like a ton of bricks today as I reached a grieving stage after the initial shock at the loss of my Aunt two nights ago.  She was a fiesty redhead with freckles and a very snarky attitude.  She was loving and kind and giving and never had an unkind thing to say about anyone.  I will miss her terribly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've reached the point of anger in grievance.  My family will be feeling a terrible hurt for a long time.  I don't understand why my Aunt is gone and those who inflict hurt through lies, deception and just plain evil are allowed to breathe.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116425933331854350?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116425933331854350/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116425933331854350' title='46 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116425933331854350'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116425933331854350'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/11/happy-thanksgiving.html' title='HAPPY THANKSGIVING'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>46</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116420557665275674</id><published>2006-11-22T06:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-24T04:09:37.550-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Was Kelly Ripa's Public Attack on Clay Planned??????</title><content type='html'>Judging by a comment that I rejected, someone is indicating that it was just part of the year long plan to Smear Clay Aiken.

I know this was the talk on the asswipe's blog for a few days and I'm sorry I didn't write sooner.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The evening that Paulass accused Clay of meeting Matt in DC, I was there that night and I actually got  to shake Clay's hand before he got on his bus.  There is no way he was rushing anywhere because he took his sweet time coming out of the venue.  I know because we were freezing that night and watching the clock.  He finally came out with Jerome around 12:20 am and the bus did not roll out till maybe 12:45 am.  The bus left for Baltimore which is about another 70 minute drive from D.C.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was at the venue in Baltimore the next night also and talked with Maka, who is William Joseph's friend and bodyguard.  I talked to him in great length about William and Clay and he happened to mention that they were all exhausted when they rolled into Baltimore early that morning.  Clay was sleeping when the bus pulled up to the hotel and had to be wakened.  So much for that asswipe's story of  rushing to meet Matt.  They did not stay in Baltimore that night either.  They drove directly to the next venue.  The only free night that Clay had was the night before he played in D.C.....but Butty boy made an error and picked the wrong night to set him up with Matt.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw,  someone had posted that Clay was spotted at Bathesda Naval Hospital the day of his concert in D.C.  He visited the wounded from Iraq but did not want the publicity.  It just so happens that one of the nurses knew who he was and her sister was a fan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's things like this that the fans know which makes sh... stuff coming from JP and the swamp just another lie.&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This just in from JP:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Paulus has left a new comment on your post "WELL, LOOKY HERE!!!!!!": &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not going to work. How long did it take you people to come up with this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Publish this comment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reject this comment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moderate comments for this blog. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted by John Paulus to Clay's Equalizers at 11/11/2006 08:37:27 AM &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Say what, Asswipe?   Here have another dose:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Found in the archives at the CB for December 13th:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;posted by Clueless2 at CV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quote: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also just returned from Constitution Hall and haven't had a chance to read the cellcert, but I will say that true to the DC phenomenon tonight's production was unique. There is something about DC that every time he is here something strange happens. The fact that he did not sing the encore GN was so unreal because we were totally unprepared when the houselights went up. Most of the front rows just sat there stunned.&lt;br /&gt;The good thing about tonight was that the concert was fabulous and he did greet about 15-20 people at the buses. It was about 20 degrees out side but he went rapidly through the crowd in his dark blue hooded jacket and apologized for not being able to sign autographs, but shook hands and wished everyone a Merry Christmas.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116326149212833627?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116326149212833627/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116326149212833627' title='191 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116326149212833627'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116326149212833627'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/11/well-looky-here.html' title='WELL, LOOKY HERE!!!!!!'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>191</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116282291399323343</id><published>2006-11-06T06:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-10T22:34:22.140-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Lies, Lies with a Little Help from His Friends</title><content type='html'>Just heard the latest about a certain blog and a certain hook-up.

By YOUR own admission when you shut down the first time, the culprit(s) is/are your own supporters.  Just to name a few:  Groucho, a Kelly Clarkson fan; Emach, a Ruben Studdard fan; Tiffany, your fan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...And here's an excerpt from your new blog, JP:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Clay told Matt that he would find an excuse to cut the show short that evening so that the two could get together earlier."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Groucho (Kelly Clarkson's stalker and your personal "insider") already laid claim to this show being cut short on his once upon a time blog, Wimbletoncootie.  He claimed to have put a "HIT" out on Clay for people to flash away with their cameras even though flashes weren't allowed because his very light grey green beauties are very sensitive to the light especially bright flashes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Way to F*CK UP, Asswipe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Technorati tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Clay+Aiken" rel="tag"&gt;Clay Aiken&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/American+Idol2" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;American Idol2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Clayton+Aiken" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Clayton Aiken&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/AI2" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;AI2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116282291399323343?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116282291399323343/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116282291399323343' title='265 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116282291399323343'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116282291399323343'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/11/lies-lies-with-little-help-from-his.html' title='Lies, Lies with a Little Help from His Friends'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>265</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116261862767632530</id><published>2006-11-03T21:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-22T00:41:26.790-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Confessions of an Escort</title><content type='html'>Taken from a screen shot of JP's old blog (johnpaulus.blogspot) which was a little blurry so I couldn't pick up the date:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/clip_image002.12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/400/clip_image002.7.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"At 11:13 PM John Paulus said....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Escorting I do only for the weekends and a two day weekend is $2500"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also See The &lt;a href="http://truth-rules.blogspot.com/" target="_bank"&gt;Truth Rules &lt;/a&gt;Blogs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Edited by: OCSP (Oh Crap's Silent Partner)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116261862767632530?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116261862767632530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116261862767632530' title='122 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116261862767632530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116261862767632530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/11/confessions-of-escort.html' title='Confessions of an Escort'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>122</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116224227498001715</id><published>2006-10-30T12:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-07T13:21:27.260-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Real Friends:  How About That Sports Fans!</title><content type='html'>Sometimes people on message boards agree to disagree.  One of those disagreements happened the other day and it became a little heated.  What happens when someone gets really riled when they're called out for dropping innuendo and running and suspected of being a "mole"?   They spill their guts and another piece of the puzzle falls into place.  Can't tell you how the whole story unfolded but here are the best parts:&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"I thought you guys would want to know why the Enquirer may be printing stories about Clay now and then. Did any of you know for a fact that John and Alan are such good friends? I doubt you did.   .............&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Alan and JP are actually real friends and it isn't because of "tabloid fodder"." &lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I beg to differ with the last statement....but then if it's not because of "tabloid fodder" I would be inclined to believe ... maybe....  butt buddies?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116224227498001715?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116224227498001715/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116224227498001715' title='228 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116224227498001715'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116224227498001715'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/10/real-friends-how-about-that-sports.html' title='Real Friends:  How About That Sports Fans!'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>228</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116193052054322106</id><published>2006-10-26T23:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-31T07:22:45.463-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Clay Aiken:  The Entertainer</title><content type='html'>While working online today I was listening to my wonderful CD of Lurve Songs and found myself closing my eyes and swaying to the music.  I don't remember anyone else besides Barbra Streisand connecting to the lyrics and feeling the music so passionately.  There have been many great ones and Clay will always seem a part of that legacy; I can feel it.  When we saw him on AI-2 many of us felt we were watching the birth of a legend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recalled the story written by a fan meeting one of Clay's former girlfriends outside a radio station in Raleigh when Clay and Amanda were visiting and Clay was to pick out the best sign.  The fan asked the former girlfriend what Clay is like and her response was that Clay is very romantic and passionate.  She then told the fan to not ask for anymore information along those lines.  Seems Clay gravitates toward young ladies with fine character like himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is it about Clay and his music?  We know about the "Mandate" now and we know that he turned the project into something timeless and special in spite of all the hurdles.  He didn't just jump over them, he kicked them out of his way to give us a masterpiece full of that same romance and passion.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So then I sat here and wondered further why it is that Clay grabs me and won't let go.  I think I've got it!  Clay sings like a man.  He sings like a man who loves.  He SOUNDS like a man and he sounds like an intelligent man when he sings.  The songs he co-wrote are better than the rest because of his maturity and understanding of what music should be.  It's him grabbing onto us because perhaps he feels that we're his, all his.  He said it with song.  He's right!  There's nobody like him and never will be again. He's ours, all ours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why the let down from his PR team?  One has to wonder if it's due to the fact that he was, he is and he always will be of such fine character inspite of liars and extortionists in the guise of recording execs who want to keep their hands in the pockets of kids they discovered and launched into stardom.  Clay is a REAL MAN.  Asswipes come and go; they're disposable.  TPTB have done everything they can to bring him down to their level and he silently thumbs his nose at them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay won't sing about raunchy sex, he won't drop his drawers or yank a woman's clothes off.  He can get downright sexy in concert because...well...he's downright sexy.  There's the difference between Clay and other pop artists.  He can really sing, he can enterpret, he can entertain, he can be sexy without trying because of his voice, demeaner, his gorgeous looks and moves you can only be born with. He doesn't have to play the part as other male pop artists do.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whassa matter RCA?  Couldn't you get him to act like a teen humping his bedpost in a frenzy?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116193052054322106?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116193052054322106/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116193052054322106' title='114 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116193052054322106'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116193052054322106'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/10/clay-aiken-entertainer.html' title='Clay Aiken:  The Entertainer'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>114</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116175308517026916</id><published>2006-10-24T22:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-27T12:05:11.446-07:00</updated><title type='text'>YEP!

The Pickle is just the latest arrival and he's everybody's pawn.  Emach and Soulful Ruben, DirectorSandi and the KCE and Gr8White &amp; Random Thoughts of Cafe Allegro have been at it far longer than any Gherkin.  The DIFFERENCE in these types of people and Clay's fans is that we do our best to do our best; they do their best to show everyone their worst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay's fans have been fooled for a while into thinking that someone (Insane Bastard) had knowledge of Pickle and his games but it was a smoke screen devised by people who have supported him but who would do him in without a second thought. Someone has been borrowing this character's old comments from a private forum and substituting JP's name into them and then posting them on Perez Hilton's site and the blogs which sprang up in support of Clay and the TRUTH.  In the last couple of days the IB comments copied and posted here by anonymous posters were twisted so badly that the red flag went up and some investigating behind the scenes took place. Funny how a lot of the responsive comments were coming from Canadian IPs.  Since we know that the Cafe gals use a scrambler I can just about guess at who the main culprit was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now, here's our game.  The above mentioned players from the Swamp, Tinfoil Village and Cootieville are no longer worthy of our time.  We're taking the controls back.  This is our train and you're not invited to board.  You can take your lies, innuendo, and criminal acts and shove it all!  You are unworthy of the air you breathe, in my opinion.  As vile as I believe JP is, I still wouldn't have done what one or more of you tried to do to him.

I got permission from one of the fans to let me copy a few tidbits from her summary for us to moon over.  Judging from the recaps that she and others have been giving, I cannot wait to see this show.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy:&lt;br /&gt;~~~ &lt;br /&gt;"Who knows what will make it on air but the taping can only be described as two hours of looking into Clay's living room window while he and someone he just met fell for each other.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;OMG !  Those two were flirting like you won't believe.  I honestly would not be surprised if they see each other privately after this show.  They were freaking on fire.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Tyra and Clay spent the whole time sitting on a couch together.  Early in the interview they spoke of contact lenses and Tyra wanted to see his - yep she got close enough to see his contact lenses and whammo from that point on she was butter.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;They hugged, touched each others legs, giggled and otherwise made us jealous."&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was more but we wouldn't want to put all the spoilers out here.

We also know that he is living openly as a straight man; has been, is, and always will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My curiosity piqued in the past when references in Clay's Wikipedia bio were made to the MESS.  I discovered that some esteemed fans contribute to Wikipedia and I also found that some NOT so esteemed fans contribute to Wikipedia.  I asked myself, "WHY would reference be made to the scandalous tabloid lies and why would the Purple Gherkin have a bio in Wikipedia?"  It got answered very quickly:  The owner/founder of Wikipedia is gay and someone from the OC is a contributor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out of curiosity this morning I typed "Wikipedia Gay Porn Stars" in my browser and wouldn't ya know I'd find these entries:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"List of gay porn stars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Gay Porn Studios - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kyle Bradford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, these were just 3 of the entries.  There are 9 PAGES of this garbage and when your child or grandchild uses Wikipedia online as a reference in the future they may just stumble upon some gay scandal reference in the bio of anyone they have to do a report on.  Perhaps one of these gay porn references may be sandwiched alphabetically between what the child is REALLY looking for and the child may get curious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion Wikipedia isn't interested in screening out what's not the truth.  Like other gay gossips, it appears they leave in the innuendo (lies) as if it has merit.  I know that some contributors have argued the point that it's not in anyone's best interest to leave the lies in the bios but the efforts were futile when it comes to gay issues and a certain cutesexysingerboywhohappenstobestraight.   I keep asking "Why? What's the real point?"  My mind keeps answering, "I think it's YE OLDE GAY AGENDA."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents and Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, Guardians and Sitters:  Time to reintroduce younger family members and charges to YE OLDE FUNK AND WAGNALLS where FACTS take priority over gossip.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116083426063704325?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116083426063704325/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116083426063704325' title='112 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116083426063704325'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116083426063704325'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/10/wikipedia-gay-tabloid.html' title='Wikipedia:  A Gay Tabloid?'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>112</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116066500972470193</id><published>2006-10-12T07:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T00:55:15.500-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A BOY NAMED SUE</title><content type='html'>Polly Graf said... &lt;br /&gt;John's latest blog -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For months Claymates have been calling me a liar and a fraud. They have concocted elaborate stories and have posted false information about me. I have requested they remove blogs and comments that make such false accusations and they have ignored or laughed at me. Yesterday it was ruled that posting such messages about a person is defamatory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like to see the Claymates be made examples I am requesting information on the following screen names from the Clay's Equalizer blog. oh crap, wru, truth rules, polly graf, wombatrus, yeahthat, and linda. I am also looking for information on chexxxy and WSCA. By information I mean real names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, etc. Please do not post their information on my blog, but kindly email it to me. You can set up a new email address if you are concerned about privacy in order to send me the information. Also if you are aware of any site that are writing things that are defamatory please send me that information as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*There's more that Polly Graf copied but you get the idea.&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;This morning I had this threat in my pending comments:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anonymous said... &lt;br /&gt;You're going down bitch! I just sent JP your real name and address, and he's going to sue your fat ass for defamation. That'll teach you to mess with me you bitch! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12:50 AM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;To which I answer:  Hey, Bitch!  Wake up!  He can't sue people for telling the truth nor does he DARE sue because that would mean a countersuit.  This is where we have the option of implicating in his "fernids in high places"... you know,  the ones funding this smear campaign.... the ones who made the mistake of hiring someone who is ratshit batshit crazy.  Exposing his lies and his part in this smear campaign does not make US the liars.  It doesn't work like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..And you, you little prickette, just became fodder for the police and FBI.  Do your parents know how you spend your computer time?  They will shortly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here we have it!  Another freaking threat and hit list by a Green barrette who thinks intelligent adult women are easily intimidated simply because they are women.  How embarrassing it must be for him to constantly be beaten down by these same women.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A liar and a criminal is exactly what you appear to be, Buttboy.  &lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;I submit this into evidence as Exhibit BR-549 along with this late entry which just came in:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Linda said... &lt;br /&gt;Hey ladies = thanks for the heads-up about buttplug's threats towards us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My crack team of attorneys and I find the whole thing quite comical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo, asswipe - I'm gonna explain this to you once and once only in plain english cause you wouldn't understand the legal aspects if your life depended on it - oh wait - it just might!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU HAVE NO FREAKING CASE!!!! You made yourself a "celebrity" by going to the press, doing interviews and getting things in print about your alleged (yes alleged cause it NEVER HAPPENED!!) tryst with one cutesexysingerguy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that you are a "celebrity" of sorts, you have lost the opportunity to sue us because of a little thing you may have heard of called the CONSTITUTION.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are exceptions to defamation rules for politicians and celebrities and, to a limited extent, for people who have become the subjects of a public controversy. These people, because they are in the public eye, are expected to have tougher skins and can only be defamed if it is proven that the false statements were made with a reckless disregard for the truth--for example, a website owner posting what he knows to be false information about a celebrity's sex life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know that that means??? Huh? Do ya? Do ya?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means you can't sue us because we don't do it with disregard for the truth, unlike you. We do it because we have the truth on OUR side and you don't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Put that in your pipe and smoke it, asshole. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8:45 AM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I can vouch for the "asshole" part.

Then further calling Clay a hypocrite, a liar, a con, and a manipulator, borrowing from Pickle's own traits (and only the Pickle is right). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* to humiliate, and embarrass Clay and his family; pry into his private life and post titillating tid-bits of a sexual nature from a Gherkin's experiences, NOT Clay's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* To continually criticize, bash, make fun of Clay, his voice and music and inciting others, including minors, to do so as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Taking various things that Clay may say in a joking manner and posting them on his blog - not as a joke ...but as factual, twisting Clay's words and using them against him in an exaggerated manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Taking things that friends and fans may say, repeating them out of context to use against Clay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Using archived files and exaggerating the content to use against Clay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Purple Pecker has an agenda: to destroy Clay Aiken.

There seems to be a contradiction of support here.  On one hand they support magazines that promote something good and on the other hand they promote something that has become a threat to the safety of celebrities and, in the instance of Clay Aiken's internet fanbase, a threat to the safety of private citizens.  How is this possible?  Easy!  They lend credibility to a scam artist by printing lies and passing them off as truth thus unleashing an already dangerous person on us and making him feel untouchable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Purple Gherkin has repeatedly assaulted the Clay Nation but since Clay has come forward to denounce tabloid rumors, thus calling the Pickle a liar, I feel that it's time to take the gloves off and land some solid blows of our own. We know that Pickle has put out "hit lists" to gather personal info on the more vocal fans and he has harassed and threatened some of them by phone.  If any new readers or media wants verification, contact the Harnett County Sheriff's Department in North Carolina where numerous complaints have been filed against John Paulus, a cyberbully and cyber terrorist extroardinaire (and delusional stalker).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just how involved is American Media, Inc?  According to John Paulus's hints, they seem quite involved.  Food for thought below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**&lt;br /&gt;From the previous blog:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I just wanted to give you a little heads up. There have been takers for the $10,000 offer and other guys have come forward. I would be paying close attention in the coming weeks. ;-) &lt;br /&gt;Publish Reject (John Paulus) 9:12 PM" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To which I stated that now we know he must have some money to sue for but his answer was this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" John Paulus said... &lt;br /&gt;Oh crap it's not me that is paying the 10,000 for the story. I was just that facilitator. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10:11 PM "&lt;br /&gt;**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So who is doing the facilitating?  Let's go back in time to some threats left on this blog site that he deleted but which fortunately go to the blogger's email address and I saved mine in Word as well:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am blaming the Claymates. BTW you may want to write to Abutterfield@nationalenquirer.com I hear he's the one working up something. I mean what do I know since those people at the National Enquirer think I'm "nuts" and they "dissed" me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a suggestion how about you give the NE all the information you have on me and let them expose me? You would think that the media would embrace your "evidence" about me being a liar. Can it be because the real crazy ones and out of touch ones are some of you? Psst here's a conspiracy for you- did you know one of the VERY top guys, no pun intended, is a gay guy over at America Media?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;Posted by John Paulus to The-Equalizers &lt;http://the-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/06/insane-in-membrane.html&gt; at 6/22/2006 07:58:17 PM "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then this one a little later was just part of his diatribe but since it's the most telling....:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I don't think you really want to get the gay boys upset....

I, too, contacted David Perel and an officer at American Media, Inc. and was ignored.  Seems they quit returning emails unless you have a lie you want to sell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There it is...the beginning of the end of this MESS.  My gloves are off!  I'll be CCing Alan Butterfield, David Perel, Executive Offices at American Media, Inc. and possibly sponsors.  Are they the ones financing Mr. Pickle's finds.  Are those supposedly coming forward really JP's former hookups?  You know how he likes to use his own life experiences to create a lie.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-116031782979278815?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/116031782979278815/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=116031782979278815' title='48 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116031782979278815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/116031782979278815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/10/american-media-inc-beginning-of-end.html' title='American Media Inc:  Beginning of the End'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>48</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-116002548673115396</id><published>2006-10-04T22:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-08T11:05:23.486-07:00</updated><title type='text'>John Paulus Threatens ClayMates!

John Paulus: Better known as the Purple Gherkin because he photoshopped a bi-racial man's penis onto himself and wasn't good at hitting the target or getting the color exactly right.  He also used a yellow, veiny and wrinkled one as well.  Both the photos were used in his online hooker profiles along with a photo of his puckering strings with bulls' nuts dangling.  Had anyone taken a good look at the photo Perez had on his site calling attention to JP's crotch you would have noticed that he was dressed to the right and the real thing was about the size of my thumb.  He's definitely no Clay Aiken in looks, character or attributes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After visiting the swamp, all I see is a bunch of nonsensical chattering from the Ruben and Kelly fans so I'm inclined to suggest a change of name to the Chimp Farm.  Come to think of it, JP and some of his supporters do look a little chimpy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are blathering on about the webcams so I thought I'd put up a reminder to visit our friends at We Support Clay Aiken where the badly photochopped jobs were turned to mush along with the fake IMs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.wesupportclayaiken.blogspot.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Equalizer Note:  To all Clay fans who read this blog..

Or is that Such a Tool?</title><content type='html'>Academic freedom, The National Enquirer and U&lt;br /&gt;Issue date: 10/23/03 Section: Opinion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Print&lt;br /&gt;* Email&lt;br /&gt;* Article Tools&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;Page 1 of 1 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Oct. 15, students in Craig Wirth's public relations class was so lucky as to have Alan Butterfield grace them with his presence. Butterfield was invited to provide a "Hollywood publicist" inside perspective to the class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those unfamiliar, Butterfield is a reporter for the National Enquirer-yes, the supermarket tabloid-and is the one who "broke" the gay sex-ring story about Ed Smart and several of his brothers. The story was based on information obtained from unnamed sources. Later it became known that some unnamed sources were paid $10,000 each. In the end, the information proved to be false and two reporters, Kevin Cantera and Michael Vigh of The Salt Lake Tribune, were fired due to their involvement in the fiasco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several professors in the department of communication were angered by Butterfield's visit, and rightly so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no question as to the fundamental importance that freedom of thought and freedom of the press have. These liberties are basic tenets of our nation. Indeed, the United States relies heavily on the marketplace of ideas that results from the exercise of such liberties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, it is important that such liberties be placed into context and not be applied recklessly. The liberties afforded citizens in the Constitution are not given with an accompanying free license of application. Unfortunately, that seems to be the assumption made by Butterfield and many of his supporters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allowing Alan Butterfield to speak to a public relations class, and justifying such in the name of intellectual freedom, is analogous to The Wall Street Journal printing neo-Nazi manifestos in the name of freedom of the press. Just as The Wall Street Journal has a responsibility to print news and not destructive or inflammatory rhetoric, institutions of higher learning have the responsibility to teach students in a nondestructive manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, drawing the lines between what is and what is not destructive is an exercise in subjectivity, to say the least. Yet it does not seem appropriate to bring in a guest speaker who makes a living telling lies and exploiting people. The world of journalism needs to be built on integrity, not sensationalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, tabloid journalism is part of the American journalistic landscape. But so are racism, sexism, classism and other deplorable ideologies. Needless to say, Larry Flynt will not be asked to speak to photography students, so why should Alan Butterfield speak to communication students?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Compliments of Ticked.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here is one of the best posts of the day so far after a few reviewed both the January NE Article and the newest one:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TRUTH RULES said.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;".....This article calls into question the prior article's statement, quoted by stalkerboy, that Clay had already come out to his mother and close friends early in 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love it when one liar outs another liar."&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**I LURVE IT TOO.  The new informant outs NE and Butterfield outs JP and we "OUTED" them all as liars months ago.  To them all I would just say....

If people STILL can't understand this then I'll be happy to take off my double-barrelled sling shot, put bolders in the cups and perform a double lobotomy...and if that doesn't work, the Equalizer Bloggers are creating the NEW DICTIONARY FOR IDIOTS so they can look up two simple words:  NOT GAY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#1 – Star Mag - 04/26/03&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Star magazine reports that despite the constant rumors that he’s gay, 'American Idol' finalist Clay Aiken insists otherwise. An insider says, "Finally, after weeks of wondering, a couple of the girls on the show decided to confront him and ask point-blank: 'Are you gay, or what?' Clay didn’t hesitate. He insisted that he is straight." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#2 - Rolling Stone – 07/10/03:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people, for example, seem to think that because he is slender, has long, fluttering eyelashes, and currently doesn’t have a girlfriend, he must be gay. &lt;br /&gt;...This kind of stuff seems to amuse Aiken more than it upsets him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"One thing I’ve found of people in the public eye," Aiken says, "either you’re a womanizer or you’ve got to be gay. Since I'm neither one of those, people are completely concerned about me. They’re like, 'What are you then?' I’m sure it has to do with being raised by women. I wouldn’t want somebody gawking at my mom and grabbing her butt and catcalling at her, trying to hook up with her at a bar. I’m not saying I’m not going to look. Hello! But you know what I mean?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He’s also a good sport and fun to spar with. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So, what’s your position on pre- marital sex?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My own personal position is that it’s much more special to wait for the person who you’re married to." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Are you a virgin?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, this morning, while getting my manicure and pedicure, I watched a biography of Britney Spears on TV. In it, she said that she regrets ever saying anything about it. So, I hate to repeat myself, but: I think it’s much more special to wait for the person who you’re married to." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Masturbation?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Are you kidding me? I hope that’s a question and not a proposition! Anyway, I don’t think it makes you go blind." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And you know that from personal experience?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You stop right now!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#3 - Prime Time Live with Diane Sawyer - 10/09/03&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diane: In Rolling Stone he hinted he’s a virgin and denied what’s asked him over and over again. Is he gay? He says no. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay: "Somebody asked it right after the finale of the show, in the press conference with Ruben and I. I think the problem is people don’t know who...what to do with me. They don’t know anything about me. I’m not completely blind and stupid. I’ve got a southern accent which people say is...uh..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diane: All southern people are gay...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay: "Well, that and English people, too."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diane: Oh, well that...I mean...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay: "I have some very effeminate qualities, you know, I try to make sure I’m clean. I was raised by my mom and my two grandmothers really for a long time. I’m not completely blind to it. I...I have gotten used to people asking the question. They think, ok, he doesn’t drink; he doesn’t go out and have sex with...with every woman that he sees. I think it’s high time there’s somebody who represents people who aren’t gay, but doesn’t sleep around with everybody...you know. If I’m supposed to carry the banner for all the nerds in the world I’m fine with that, too, so..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#4 - J14 – Fall 2003&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(under photo)Q: True or False...that Clay Aiken is gay? A: False&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay insists he is not gay, but he understands why people think he is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are rumors. Speculation. Gossip. But Clay wants people to know: He is not gay. Though the American Idol runner-up says he understands why people might think he is gay, since he has some "effeminate qualities," he is definitely attracted to women. Not that he’s currently dating anyone. "I’m so busy right now," he says. "I don’t have time." He does, however, "need someone to go to award shows with." But the 25 year-old singer doesn’t consider himself to be a heartthrob. When women throw their underwear on stage, "I laugh, right there in front of them," he says. "How can you not laugh?" Clay thinks the idea of anyone thinking he’s alluring is "frightening. I try not to think of myself as a sex symbol. I think it’s kind of hilarious. I think of myself as geeky and gangly and dorky and kind of hicky from North Carolina."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#5 – Elle Magazine – 09/06/03 - Allison Glock&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"...Ruben always jokes with me that I could have any woman out there. He says, ‘You need to hook up with somebody before you leave the tour.’ But I try and explain that that’s not what this is about for me. The reason women like me, I think, is because I don’t threaten them. I realize Ruben’s right, I probably could"—he pauses, blushes—"you know, but I respect women more than that." &lt;br /&gt;He wrinkles his brow, and then shakes his head. "I am extremely flattered. There are some gorgeous women who are, quote, in love with me. But I think taking advantage of that is wrong..." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Besides, Aiken is a man who takes sex seriously. "I was raised by my mother and grandmothers, and a lot of what I am is because I wanted to be different from my birth father. He was a womanizer. When I had to go visit him, there would be a different woman over every time. I thought that was really tacky." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it’s suggested that not many young men would forgo voluntary, anonymous sex with beautiful, knickerless girls, Aiken shrugs. &lt;br /&gt;"If anything, women want to take care of me, to mother me. I think that’s part of the reason I’ve sold a lot of records..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Aiken is nothing if not chivalrous. Considerate. Polite. He’s the guy who asks you questions and actually listens to the answers—and even asks follow-up questions hours later, thereby proving that he finds you worth his attention. And he notices things. Like that the empty Burger King bag is rattling at your feet on the floor of the van, so he picks it up. Or that the air conditioner is too cold, and turns it down. It’s this empathy and inherent graciousness evident in every press appearance and performance that leads many men to speculate that Aiken is gay (he has denied it) and even more women to say, Who cares? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I don’t think people know what to do with me," Aiken says. "I’m interesting because they don’t know what to do with me..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#6 - Reality Blurred – 01/13/05&lt;br /&gt;American Idol 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay Aiken won’t talk to a gay magazine, his publicist told a columnist for a gay magazine. In Next Magazine, Matt Bell writes, "We tried to get an interview with the sexually ambiguous pop star... but his publicist told us he’d ‘never talk to a gay magazine!’" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#7 - Reality Blurred – 08/30/05&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay Aiken thinks jokes about him are "funny...half the time," but gay questions are "insulting."&lt;br /&gt;Clay Aiken has a sense of humor about the jokes that often make him their target. And they’re not all that unfamiliar. "I spent years and years in middle school getting picked on, so I’m kind of used to it," he tells The Calgary Sun. "First of all, I usually don’t watch (the talk shows) and someone else will tell me about them. And, heck, half the time, I think it’s funny."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also says that when people ask him about his sexual orientation, it’s "insulting." Jokes about him being gay are "just as insulting as when someone like you interviews me and asks a question like that, no matter how you word it," he says. But he’s also resigned himself to the insults: "It’s part of the game. You just do it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#8 - Fly Magazine – December 2005&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, even after selling millions of albums and becoming one of America’s biggest pop stars, it appears that Clay Aiken is still the same lovable goof we first met three years ago. There’s something strangely comforting about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FM: In a position like yours, everybody’s so interested in your personal life. Suddenly I’m reading things about you, everything from stories about your childhood pets to speculation on your sexual orientation and everything in between. Does that weird you out?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CA: It’s tough. At the very beginning of the process, it’s quite a shock. You don’t understand why people are asking these things. I had a goat – who cares? And I didn’t tell anybody that. There are times that I look on the internet or read a message board and they’ll know things about me that I didn’t know. [laughs] I never told anybody that! How did they find out? So at first it’s a shock. And then later on it’s not as shocking but still upsetting. And then after a while, it’s just like having a gnat in your nose. You just want to kill it. [laughs] It becomes unfortunately a negative part of what you do, and you need to kind of live with it. But if you could get up your nose and kill it, you would do it. [laughs] It’s not so easy sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#9 - Charlotte News &amp; Observer – December 2005 &lt;br /&gt;Matt Ehlers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He lost in the show's final sing-off in 2003, but the zealous fans he won assured the kind of success that makes you think of a latter-day Tom Jones without the innuendo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of it -- the record contract, the money, and the panty-tossing fans -- could have gone to his head. Instead, as two days on the road with him reveal, the Clay Aiken who left North Carolina three years ago as a purposeful young man on a mission has returned that same man, only with better hair and more mettle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#10 - The News Tribune.com – 11/04/05&lt;br /&gt;Ernest Jasmin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I really wanted to know was how he felt about the people who were really mean to him – namely the likes of Conan O’Brien, "Mad TV," "Saturday Night Live" and others who have made Aiken the subject of gay jokes since he graduated from "Idol."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A lot of times I don’t find out about these things unless I read them online," Aiken said. "I guess there’s a compliment hidden deep within there. If they weren’t talkin’ about me, I guess it would be worse, wouldn’t it? At least when people say mean things they’re admitting we’re important enough to mention." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#11 - Today’s Christian – Nov/Dec 2005&lt;br /&gt;Holly Vicente Robaina&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...But celebrity hasn't been all roses. He jokes that the paparazzi know his schedule better than he does. Details of his life regularly appear on newsstands and the Internet, from what he eats for breakfast (his favorite cereal is Cinnamon Toast Crunch) to his bad habits (he used to bite his toenails). Speculation swirled about his sexuality. (No, he's not gay.)&lt;br /&gt;[Note: A reputable magazine would not print such a strong statement without having first discussed it off the record.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#12 - Qnotes – 02/11/06&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At a press conference May 21, 2003, Aiken pointedly ignored a question from Advocate reporter Alonso Duralde: "A lot of your fan base thinks you’re gay. Any comment on that?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Duralde, Aiken had no response whatsoever — he simply moved on to the next reporter for another question. "He froze me out," said Duralde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#13 – Amazon.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gossip has always surrounded celebrities--and one of the most common bits is about sexuality. In the past, rumors of homosexuality have been a career-killer; that is less true today, but even so most celebrities still go out of their way to deny it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CLAY AIKEN - Pop singer Clay Aiken has often ignored the question, but he flatly stated that he was not gay to The Rolling Stone, Primetime Live, and The Kansas City Star. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#14 - USA Today – 08/07/06 12:34 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay Fires Back!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aiken, in a statement issued by RCA Records, said Monday... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"As a so-called 'celebrity' I have become used to scurrilous (vulgar) allegations and untruths (lies) being made about me and my work. I have always taken the path of not reacting to these matters and have accepted them as, somehow, coming with the 'job.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#15 - GMA - Diane Sawyer 9/23/06&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For a long time you want to let everybody be a part of your life.....you know what , this is ridiculous, it doesn't matter what you say, certain people are gonna believe this, certain people are gonna believe that....I'm just not commenting anymore there's no point, I've answered before (*see 1 - 14 above). I feel like a kid who is in trouble in school and is called in, did you do this? did you cheat on that test? and, of course no, but it doesn't matter what you say." - Clay Aiken &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Courtesy of Polly Graf&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-115899268537337857?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/115899268537337857/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=115899268537337857' title='347 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/115899268537337857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/115899268537337857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/09/13-freaking-times-and-2-for-good.html' title='13 Freaking Times and 2 for Good Measure'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>347</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-115876118013464938</id><published>2006-09-20T06:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-26T22:36:03.713-07:00</updated><title type='text'>GREAT CLAY AIKEN IN THE MORNING!!!!</title><content type='html'>NEWS FLASH !!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We interrupt this program to bring you the latest and greatest.

DAYUM!!!!!!</title><content type='html'>Okay...so I was a little under the weather yesterday and I was slugging down the Pepsi, Sprite and Coca Cola to keep from yacking on my keyboard and monitor (I'm not a very good little "DoBee" (tm Romper Room) when it comes to medicine).  There was something in the air and I could feel it so I just hung in there playing with all my friends poking the pickle and Perez with the truth (and BOY did it come flying out).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First was the cellcert at a few of the message boards.  The numbers of members, visitors and anonymouses who were logged in proved that, except for the small handful of vile creatures that used to be fans who are posting on JP's &amp; Tinfoil's, everyone is still here and then some.  Well, KICK ME IN THE ASS!  You mean JP and Groucho lied? Again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So back to the good stuff and I won't rehash the whole cellcert.  What was interesting is that when Clay Aiken was given his nice introduction at David Foster's Star Search where he was a guest judge.....  the audience BLEW THE ROOF OFF the venue.  Sure sounded like Clay is still hot to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few pages into the cellcert someone discovered that Clear Channel had already put up the Preview streaming Clay's new CD and then we became like the statue of Lady Justice..you know.. you have scales dangling from your hands and you don't know which way to tip them so you end up streaming WHILE reading then beating a path back here to give your report on either or both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ALL NIGHT LONG.  We find out that Clay will be on the Cover of PEOPLE, BRAVO will broadcast Clay; oh yeah, they'll be broadcasting the whole Star Search event but who gives a piss about anyone else!? Then the cellcerters start reporting in that ABC is there filming the object of our obsession for GMA and/or PrimeTime.  Now mind you, some of us are still streaming at the CC link because we can't get enough of our NEW FAVORITES of all time sung by our guy...and the PHOTOOOOOOOOOOOS start coming in of Judge Clay.  Natural Clay, Red Hair, Stubble, Eyelashes and that one-of-a-kind SMILE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To say the least, someone(s) became more insignificant in our lives than they ever were before in these past 9 months.  They all put us and Clay through hell but now the Cafe girls can take their sour grapes at not getting control of BAF and Clay, JP can take his lies and celebrity scams, Groucho and the KCE FREAKS &amp; Soulful Sisters with NO souls can take their jealousy and criminal activity, PH and BINA can take their VPB antics of 3 years and shove it all up their tab-loids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of our bloggers probably said it best:&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;"Anonymous said... &lt;br /&gt;He hasn't changed one bit.

GOOD DEEDS GOES TO WASHINGTON</title><content type='html'>Just want to borrow a couple of excerpts from the Official Qualifications of what an applicant for a Government Committee has to undergo before he/she is approved and finally sworn in:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****Most applicants under serious consideration for an appointment will go through a full FBI background check in which their employment, professional, personal, travel, medical, financial, legal, military and educational histories will be reviewed and scrutinized. The financial holdings and sources of income for most applicants under serious consideration must be disclosed for review for possible conflicts of interest, and any conflicts must be remedied by divestiture, the creation of special trusts, etc.**** &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****...all aspects of your personal and professional life, including organizations to which you belong or once belonged; speeches you may have given and books, articles, and editorials you may have written; legal, administrative and regulatory proceedings to which you may have been a party; in short, anything that might embarrass the President or you if he should choose you for a position in his administration.*****&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what does this tell us?  It tells us that somebody actually DID their homework and it wasn't just ANYBODY; it WAS NOT someone who cuts and pastes a couple of facts and a lot of "fiction" to suit one's "Agenda".  It was the US Government checking out our guy to make sure he is qualified and clean of anything that would "embarrass" the President or himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOW...what does THIS tell us?  It tell us that our Government and the President KNOW that Clay Aiken doesn't go "trolling the internet" for gay hookups as a handful of vile humans would have the public believe.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who are these "vile humans" (do they even qualify for being human)? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  They are Clay's KNOWN and spurned female stalkers.&lt;br /&gt;2.  They are gay activists who "out" anybody, gay or NOT, if one doesn't play &lt;br /&gt;    by their rules and be their advocate in some way.&lt;br /&gt;3.  They are a few lusty "queens" with their own fantasies (PH, we SO KNOW).&lt;br /&gt;4.  It is the little gay guy, Purple Gherkin Paulus, who can only DREAM up shit.&lt;br /&gt;5.  They are the Cafe Allegro ladies (gag) who THOUGHT they were ENTITLED to run BAF&lt;br /&gt;    and get in Clay's pants.&lt;br /&gt;6.  They are Groucho, Shannon and the Pips from Kelly Clarkson Express who think&lt;br /&gt;    Clay has a chance to overtake their gal in CD sales and popularity.&lt;br /&gt;7.  They are Emach and a militant few (formerly known as "Soulful Ruben") who are&lt;br /&gt;    known for some pretty crass and borderline criminal activities to hurt Clay &lt;br /&gt;    and his fans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These people joined forces for ONE reason:  SMEAR CAMPAIGN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All our efforts to keep these people exposed to the public as LIARS and to expose Pickle Pussy Paulus (who NEVER met Clay Aiken) for the scam artist he is has been upstaged by the PRES.  By Swearing In Clay Aiken next Thursday the PRESIDENT of the US is declaring, after a thorough investigation, that Paulus NEVER existed in Clay Aiken's life.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything JP wants people to believe DIDN'T happen, but WE faithful fans already knew that and so did the above. Their goal is to stunt the sales of Clay's new CD so he doesn't surpass Kelly's sales and if they can ruin his reputation in the process then their life's mission will be over.  Does accomplishing this mission mean they will bless us by curling up to die?  NO... I'm sure they'll go after Taylor next because he poses the next biggest threat to Kelly and Ruben.  The gay faction already got a head start via Perez planting the seed of doubt on his blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well.... this is it in a nutshell.  The President declares Clay "The Good Guy" by virtue of his Crystal CLEAN record.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those involved in the 9-month long smear campaign may soon be welcomed by Sheriff Joe in Tent City.  See ya there guys, gals and 1 queen; I'll be the one doing the Scorpion Toss as the "no messing around" lawman parades you down the dusty trail to your tents and .....

The Gawker link is especially telling&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.gawker.com/news/bloggers/perez-hilton-makes-&lt;br /&gt;us-hate-ourselves-153068.php &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IMDb profile for Perez (Mario)&lt;br /&gt;http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0491768/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IMDb profile for Billy Masters&lt;br /&gt;http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&amp;q=Billy+Masters &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some excerpts, mostly from Perez, for those who don't want to give Gawker hits.  This is email banter where the recipient tries to blow off a pissed Perez.  Why is PH pissed?  Because he didn't get invited to a party.  Holy Chit!  PH not invited? Wonder why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PH: "I never claim to be objective. In fact, I reslish in my perspective and point of view. That's why people visit my site, so much that I get more visitors in ONE day that visit me than read Star or OK in one week."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PH: "In the mean time I am free and will continue expressing my thoughts about H....

You, on the other hand, can't afford to be as crass and reckless ad crazy Perez.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, PH starts CCing HIS "fernids in high places" (tm Pickle); he spells just like the Purple Gherkin and Groucho too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judging from the email exchange, the recipient of PH's pissy attitude handled the situation as an adult while Perez displays all the characteristics of a preschooler. Quite a few anti-fans and JP like to spin Clay's silence into what it is not.  What his silence is indicative of is this:  Clay's instinct and training as a teacher kicked in and he has ignored these children with their 5 year old mentality whose only joys in life include temper tantrums, lies and one upmanship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stated in my blog comments section that I was SURPRISED that people I thought were shrewd assholes are really children who need to be treated as such and that is what Clay has done.  Imagine having to deal with this kind of ridiculousness from these "ME ME ME" individuals on a daily basis when you're in the entertainment industry.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Artists cater to these blackmailing FUCKwads in order to avoid the smear campaigns (as Gawker verified in the above blog link); Clay simply says, "UP YOURS!" with his silence.  Since they are neither his children nor his students, he turned his back on them completely and walked away leaving them on the floor kicking and screaming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I LOVE CLAY AIKEN WHO HAPPENS TO BE THE BRAVEST MAN I'VE EVER SEEN.

There have been many players in this online and tabloid "Smear Campaign" and we're going to start exposing them right here on the front page.  I may have developed a sinister side after all this smearing but I'm going to enjoy what is to come.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of our brilliant regulars took the information we've been discussing for months and has come up with the best summary I've seen yet.  I'm going to make it the blog for the day because it's the perfect lead which will be followed by details in the next week or so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;August 31, 2006 (8th Month into the Smear Campaign)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Anonymous said... &lt;br /&gt;You know, I had forgotten about the rumored phone calls between Clay and Reichen and how coy Reichen was whenever he was asked about them. It wasn't Clay on the phone with Reichen, it was Lance Bass, the "spiky-haired popstar." Reichen was trying to protect Lance. Additionally, Reichen was filming a movie at the time and having his name linked with Clay's would provide lots of free publicity. When the movie aired, the director thanked Clay in the credits. Then Reichen denied he knew Clay as did his mother on his blog, and she said it was all a publicity stunt. How nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PaulASS saw how Reichen, who's backstory is similar to his own, was parlaying it and his AR win into an acting career and was considered somewhat of a celebrity, if only for 15 minutes. PaulASS wanted a taste of that and even latched onto Reichen's idea of writing a book about gays in the military. PaulASS had nude photos of himself on gay porn websites that also had as members certain gay tabloid bloggers with an axe to grind. He would be an easy recruit, someone desperate for fame, celebrity, notoriety (it's all the same to him) and a chance at a porn career. What was there to lose? Nothing except a job with ReMax selling lower-end properties in a rural area south of Raleigh. Not very lucrative and certainly not as exciting as what he hoped to experience as a pseudo-celebrity. Since Clay was moving back to Raleigh and was rumored to be gay by those same gay bloggers, it would be the perfect set-up. They finally found someone willing to allow his face and name to be attached to the scam for credibility. The added plus was that PaulASS was broke, had no assets and lousy credit, so he wasn't worth suing. BM acknowledged that Clay wouldn't sue and he was right, because it would cost too much and the end result would be lots of negative publicity at a time when the press should be focusing on the new CD. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would think that as an employee (am I wrong here,or is he not an employee of American Media, as is PH?)BM would know that the NE fabricated the DNA evidence, as was admitted to by PaulASS to a writer who was contemplating a story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reports coming out of the Quality Inn tell a different tale than that told by PaulASS, and the valleyprettyboy designation was formally and legally traced back to one of these gay tabloid bloggers as the original source of the trolling rumors, leading one to suspect this gay blogger was doing the trolling in Clay's name for hits to his own blog and/or to set the stage for this smear campaign. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2:35 PM"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-115711355208094688?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/115711355208094688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=115711355208094688' title='55 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/115711355208094688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/115711355208094688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/09/sum-of-many-parts.html' title='The Sum of Many Parts'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>55</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-115671318253074298</id><published>2006-08-30T11:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-01T14:23:34.306-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Silent Murder of an Innocent Man</title><content type='html'>Character assassination has been described as the silent murder. Destroy a person’s character, good name and reputation and you have basically killed him. Throw in defamation, maligning, libel, harassment, humiliation, embarrassment and hate that borders on a crime, and you have overkill!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it conceivable that John Paulus was forced, coerced or paid to manufacture a scandal? Was he fed a story, a fanfic, or porno script and paid to tell it, or did he act alone? Could the past eight months be so easily explained as nothing more than the product of a delusional fantasy from a very sick, demented and twisted mind that desired to become the “star” of a living porn script? I say no…he had help, which means there are others just like him out there, hiding behind the anonymity of a computer screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sad thing about it is we may never know the answers to these questions we so earnestly seek. We may never fully understand how such a vicious hoax of this magnitude could befall one of the least deserving in the music industry...a person who has never deliberately hurt another human being in his life! Yet, it happened, and we know it did, because we witnessed it and followed it day after day…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;…Day after day…here’s how it all began…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12/16/05 (Friday - JNT2 in Nashville).&lt;/strong&gt; As reported in the tabloids, the first IM to JP came from “valleyprettyboy,” allegedly Clay Aiken, while on tour. After a moderate uproar on the PH site over the use of the screen name, VPB, which everyone knew to be fake and had been around a long time, the name would soon change to “Revnoles” and VPB would never be mentioned again, except for the occasional “forged” profile. In fact, Revnoles would at times appear as Ray Noles, the name of a retired baseball player, Dickie Ray Noles, born in Charlotte, NC., in 1956, and still living today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12/17/05 (Saturday-JNT2 in Atlanta)&lt;/strong&gt; JP emailed Revnoles, who did not respond for another 4 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; – 12/18/05 (Sunday – JNT2 in Pensacola) 09:09 PM&lt;/strong&gt; – Re: Big G. “You should know by now you can’t believe what you read on the Internet.” – CA. The quote, initially made in regards to Big “G,” would later prove to be prophetic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12/21/05 (Wednesday - JNT in Charlotte)&lt;/strong&gt; Revnoles responded with a very “business-like” email, as compared to the “Hey man” of VPB. An entirely different “tone” is noticeable between the two correspondences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; – 12/24/05 (Saturday – C’mas Eve At Home)&lt;/strong&gt; - 09:04 AM: C’mas “Greetings!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12/29/05 (Thursday – JNT2 in Clearwater)&lt;/strong&gt; Again, JP emailed Revnoles – 4 hours later Revnoles responded with another brief business-like email. JP responded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12/30/06 (Friday - Final night of JNT2 - Clearwater)&lt;/strong&gt; Four sources confirm that members of the cast, including Clay, were invited by Brianne Hinman to fly to NYC for New Year’s Eve. Transportation to the airport was arranged with the venue security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/02/06 (Monday) Revnoles IMs JP – arranged to meet at the Quality Inn &amp; Suites in Garner, NC.&lt;/strong&gt; Initially, according to JP, this was the first IM he saved, for if JP had saved every IM and email from the beginning, it might appear as though he were trying to set someone up! Later, he would choose to disregard that fact and substitute his own IMs or emails, which were allegedly missing from Dec. 16th. JP received at least three phone calls for which no phone records were ever produced. In the meantime, Clay stayed over Sunday night in NYC, to attend a meeting with RCA on Monday to plan the schedule for the coming year, which would begin after his short vacation/nap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/03/06 (Tuesday) – Early AM&lt;/strong&gt; – Clay left NYC late Monday night and returned home on a red-eye flight in the early morning hours of Tuesday 01/03/06. (See Jan. 25th)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/04/06 (Wednesday) Raleigh&lt;/strong&gt; - Clay lunched at a local restaurant and autographed the wall. (Photo)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/09/06 (Monday)&lt;/strong&gt; – Allegedly JP contacted Clay’s attorneys and said a half hour later he was contacted by Kristi Gamble, who supposedly sent a C &amp;amp; D letter to NE, which they deny ever receiving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/10/06 (Tuesday)&lt;/strong&gt; – JP IMs Revnoles to inform him he had contacted the media. If true, why didn’t Clay’s attorneys inform him of such an alleged phone call received the previous day?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/11/06 (Wednesday)&lt;/strong&gt; – JP IMs Revnoles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/12/06 (Thursday) – New York City &lt;/strong&gt;- Based on a frantic phone call from Randylandd, alleging to have received an email from “Revnoles,” Rocco from the blog: “I Probably Hate You,” while high on a coke binge, sent out 96 text messages claiming to have proof that Clay is gay. Who were the most likely recipients of Rocco’s text messages?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/12/06 (Thursday) – Bodybuilders.com&lt;/strong&gt; - Profile for “Revnoles” with an erroneous birth date, no doubt meant to deflect attention, was established. All activity on the profile ceased on 01/15/06. (Did JP and/or his accomplice[s] establish this profile for the purpose of creating emails under the name of “Revnoles?”)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/16/06 (Monday) The story leaked on-line by the NE to BM, appeared in the NY Post: Page Six, Billy Masters (Filth2go) and Perez Hilton’s blogs. It would be an additional six weeks before JP fully disclosed the “details” of his fanfic and produced his “evidence,” all of which he fabricated and sharpened to conform to recent and current history he picked up along the way.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/16/06 (Monday)&lt;/strong&gt; – Revnoles IMs JP-Re: NY Post article. No response from JP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/17/06 (Tuesday)&lt;/strong&gt; - 01:13 AM – Revnoles IMs JP Re: the Perez blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; 01/17/06 (Tuesday) – 12:56 AM PST&lt;/strong&gt; – CA states it’s 3:56 AM EST. Clay did not hide from the scandal as alleged. From the beginning he acknowledged it privately to his fans (the only ones who needed to know at the time), and would continue to do so while in a public “No Comment” mode. &lt;strong&gt;Scripture verse - “Do not fear the reproach of others, and do not be dismayed when they revile you.” Isaiah 51:7&lt;/strong&gt; [It’s important to note that Clay did not have to acknowledge any vilification in the form of “reproach” or “revilement.” It was a deliberate decision he made to address the issue head on. He did not spend hours with his attorneys working on talking points and damage control.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/17/06 (Tuesday) – 05:12 PM&lt;/strong&gt; – Revnoles IMs JP-Re: New York Post article. The two IMs for the 17th are the only IMs submitted by JP that were given a time, a fact obviously designed to coincide with Clay’s early morning blog to his fans, but also a blog that JP failed to post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/17/06 (Tuesday) – Reality News Online&lt;/strong&gt; - Logan Martin interviewed Nigel Lythgoe, producer of Fox TV’s American Idol, who stated: &lt;strong&gt;“If you knew…that Clay Aiken was so far ahead every week, it would be a waste of time watching. You wouldn’t vote for anybody else…you would think…no one else is going to win…He was that far ahead, is what I’m trying to say.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/20/06 (Friday) – QueerDay blog&lt;/strong&gt; - A reader, identified only as “John,” posted and refused to confirm or deny the contents of the story, but objected to some of the “errors” reported in the QD blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/23/06 (Monday)&lt;/strong&gt; – QueerDay blog published a letter received from a “John Paulus,” in which John identified himself as the ex-Green Beret in the tabloid story, to which QD referred to JP as a “scumbag opportunist.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/23/06 (Monday) - OFC&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;– The fans create the “Circle the Wagons” thread in support of Clay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; 01/23/06 (Monday) – 09:00 PM PST -&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“:) Thank you!”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Two simple words that said it all. Another blog not posted by JP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;01/25/06 (Wednesday&lt;/em&gt;) - The NE and the Globe stories hit the newsstands. The Globe described Clay as “slight” and “pixyish.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/25/06 (Wednesday) 02:59 PM&lt;/strong&gt; – TC, certainly aware of the 01/16/06 Internet story, would have consulted with their client by now. When asked about Clay’s whereabouts on the day in question, they do not issue a “No Comment” statement, but instead stated unequivocally to an “insider” that Clay was in NYC on 01/02/06. Knowing their statement would be posted on the Internet, consider the potential legal ramifications and fallout if this were not an accurate and true statement of fact that could be verified in a court of law should the need arise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/26/06 (Thursday) – Amazon.com&lt;/strong&gt; - Previously ranked in the #900s, after a huge and unprecedented show of fan support, MOAM reached #1 on Amazon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;01/28/06 (Saturday)&lt;/strong&gt; – Revnoles IMs JP and quotes the warning posted by JP to the fans at PH regarding what he’s about to do, which JP claimed he had just posted at PH minutes before. He swears to Revnoles he has remained silent, has cried over the fans, and said he was not out at work (on the 28th) and begs for the chance to be “trusted.” Last alleged contact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; 01/30/06 (Monday)&lt;/strong&gt; – 06:25 PM – CD News is coming! &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Love you all.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; 01/30/06 (Monday)&lt;/strong&gt; – 10:35 PM –&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; “PS.

It’s NOT what you are expecting!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;**&lt;/strong&gt;While in NYC the latter half of January, Clay was spotted on at least four occasions: (may not appear in order of occurrence). &lt;strong&gt;1)&lt;/strong&gt; Clay spotted in the audience at the SNL rehearsal; &lt;strong&gt;2)&lt;/strong&gt; attended a performance of the “Color Purple,” with unknown blonde woman (Photo); &lt;strong&gt;3)&lt;/strong&gt; attended an off-Broadway performance of Slavia’s, “Snowshow,” with YSG (Photo); and &lt;strong&gt;4)&lt;/strong&gt; snapped an “engagement” picture for a couple in Central Park.

Regarding Clay and the tabloids, she said: &lt;em&gt;“Don’t believe it…” “He’s such a blessing! It’s wonderful.”&lt;/em&gt; (Mp3) Quiana told a fan that attended her show in SC that Clay tried to tell her about the tabloid scandal. She said she told him, “They always are talking about you.” Clay answered, “Yeah, “Q,” but this time it’s really bad.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;02/15/06 (Wednesday) – 9 News APS&lt;/strong&gt; – Clay Aiken, declared highest grossing Idol and ranked #18 in Top 20 Concert Tours in NA for 2005; the only “Idol” to make the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;02/25/06 - 02/26-06 - JP posted all the IMs and emails at PH.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;03/01/06 (Wednesday)&lt;/strong&gt; – The Star &amp; NE publish the infamous Web cam pictures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; 03/02/06 (Thursday)&lt;/strong&gt; – 11:03 AM - E. Europe vacation. Clay informed us he had been on vacation and was the sickest he’d ever been. Then said, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“So, let’s talk about something that REALLY happened…”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; But instead of going into the details of his vacation, he discussed photos and his skill as a photographer and the type of pics he takes. It was reported by crafty55, a mod at RHT, that she read the blog when first posted. Then later on the blog was edited and the bolded sentence above was added, proving it was not a part of the original, but deliberately placed in the blog. It will be the third blog not posted by JP.

Claiming to get advice from his attorney, he later submits his written answers. Brogan also interviewed Coti Collins (impersonator), who claimed he did not know JP, but had &lt;em&gt;“turned down large amounts of money to portray Clay in a negative way…”&lt;/em&gt; which he refused to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; 03/03/06 (Friday)&lt;/strong&gt; – 2:18 PM - E.

The Gossipist blog also carried the story. (JP previously posted a picture of Thom Yorke on his blog, believing it to be Clay.) On the eve of exposing the Terry Goldman, “Revnoles,” “fake” web cam pic as a Photoshop as well, WSCA yielded to overwhelming pressure and ended her investigation.

According to Amazon.com, the book is due to ship on Halloween (Oct. 31).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; 07/14/06 (Friday)&lt;/strong&gt; - 10:06 PM – Congratulations to the winner!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; 07/17/06 (Monday)&lt;/strong&gt; – 03:24 PM – A fan guessed the correct title!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; 07/17/06 (Monday)&lt;/strong&gt; – 10:29 PM – Clay referred us to Jayme’s blog.

By 08/02/06 – 11:39 AM - the total reached $70, 665.42!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;07/31/06 (Monday) – NY Daily News&lt;/strong&gt; – FBI turns down ex-Green Beret JP’s appeals for help against the “loosely organized army of middle-aged women called the Claymates.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;07/31/06 (Monday)&lt;/strong&gt; – RCA made Official announcement of CD release, Sept. 19, 2006. In all, Clay blogged 13 times in July.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;08/01/06 – 08/02/06 – (Tuesday &amp;amp; Wednesday)&lt;/strong&gt; Clay mentioned on Entertainment Tonight and other entertainment news shows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;08/01/06 (Tuesday)&lt;/strong&gt; – JP reopens his blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; 08/06/06 (Sunday)&lt;/strong&gt; – 08:57 PM – Clay thanked us for our response to pre-sales, placing ATDW at #1 on Amazon.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;08/07/06 (Monday)&lt;/strong&gt; – Jeannie Holleman filed a lawsuit with Wade County, NC, alleging Clay and his mother tried to defame her, resulting in the loss of book sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;08/08/06 (Tuesday)&lt;/strong&gt; – Clay responded to lawsuit. The first paragraph is directed to Jeannie Holleman, in which it reads, “Aiken, in a statement issued by RCA Records, said Monday that he had &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“instructed my attorneys to not only vigorously dispute the claims that have been made but to also pursue all possible remedies against those involved in the perpetration of these untruths.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In reference to JP and others, he said, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“As a so-called ‘celebrity’ I have become used to scurrilous (vulgar) allegations and untruths (lies) being made about me and my work. I have always taken the path of not reacting to these matters and have accepted them as, somehow, coming with the ‘job.’ &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The difference between the two situations are this: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“However, I cannot, and will not, stand by when these attacks are made on my family.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; 08/11/06 (Friday)&lt;/strong&gt; – 11:13 AM – Clay explains SOME of the plans for the CD promo throughout the remainder of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Clay Blogged&lt;/span&gt; 08/21/06 (Monday)&lt;/strong&gt; 10:59 AM – &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Album is finished and mixed and mastered and DELIVERED. The artwork is finished and approved and being printed. We've rehearsed with the band.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; And now the waiting continues for a few more weeks until Sept. 19, 2006, although interspersed with appearances. We can handle that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; It’s difficult to imagine that there are human beings like John Paulus in the world. It’s even harder to imagine that there are haters in the world, who for lack of anything better to do, would follow, defame and malign someone they claim they can’t stand. Yet, mankind has coexisted with these types since the beginning of time. Hate is what caused Cain to murder his twin brother, Abel. Hate is what crucified Jesus Christ. Hate is what motivated the Nazis to murder six million Jews. Hate is what killed three thousand people on 09-11-2001.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something Insane Bastard said gave true insight into this situation. He said, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“...ya know, there’s more of that same pattern of hatred they have for people that are true loyal friends, notice that?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Yes, I have noticed that, IB. It manifested itself in the form of an attack directed against Clay’s fan base in an attempt to destroy our support, our bond, and our concern for one another, in the evil hope of destroying the man whom we have all come to love. We’re all vastly different, yet, one in the same because of that man…that man and his voice. May it be heard around the world!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who bit the bullet, handled the flack and the insults and took “I have your back” literally, you fought for what you believed in, for whom we believed in, and fought for someone who was unable to fight for himself, because of legalities. I believe when it’s all said and done, we will be victorious…we already are!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By: Polly Graf&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;**Equalizer Note:&lt;/strong&gt; This will close out the last couple of days in August and I hope everyone is up for the September Games (HINT: Smear, Players) and then the &lt;strong&gt;CELEBRATIONS&lt;/strong&gt; around the world as our guy is Killing us softly with his song... all over TV.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30422539-115671318253074298?l=clays-equalizers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/feeds/115671318253074298/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30422539&amp;postID=115671318253074298' title='197 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/115671318253074298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30422539/posts/default/115671318253074298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://clays-equalizers.blogspot.com/2006/08/silent-murder-of-innocent-man.html' title='The Silent Murder of an Innocent Man'/><author><name>Oh  Crap</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15153055734889084786</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1390/2877/1600/fond.jpg'/></author><thr:total>197</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30422539.post-115671507040657014</id><published>2006-08-27T14:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-30T06:53:07.996-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Nothin' Says Lovin' Like Puttin' Criminals in the Oven</title><content type='html'>Looks like there's no end to what a criminal mind will go to in order to accomplish meeting the object of his obsession.

Clay Aiken is NOT NOW, NEVER WAS, and NEVER WILL BE Gay&lt;br /&gt;2.  John Paulus has NEVER met Clay Aiken&lt;br /&gt;3.  John Paulus is a scam artist and Clay is not his first target...just the most famous&lt;br /&gt;4.  John Paulus has been caught in all his lies right on the internet for all to see&lt;br /&gt;5.  The photo of The Wyndham Hotel room shown on the Paulus blog is NOT where&lt;br /&gt;     Clay stayed while in Boston where he was accompanied by his family and Matt Ehlers.&lt;br /&gt;6.

He says it'll have a very different flair from MOAM and ATDW:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what? Laugh all you want . The album is good. I live in Nashville and I have quite a few friends that work on Music Row. We were sitting around at Chili's a couple nights ago, and his name came up. The word on the street is. Damn, the boy can sing. There will be another album coming down the pike, and I know for a fact, it won't be covers. Now Clay's been an easy target for everyone, and I guess all I'm saying is really listen to the album when it is released even if it isn't your thing. They are saying there is a Hell of a lot of difference between this and Measure of a Man. Everybody chill. He's just a dude from NC. I forgot to add most of the ones lifting elbows at my table say they don't think he's gay.

Either he IS this poster (fighting with his alter egos again?) or it's someone who has no clue about how JP has been caught in all his lies.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will attempt my own version of a Polly Graf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FROM JP'S BLOG:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;((Anonymous said... &lt;br /&gt;"Well, at least 7:59 we can post evidence when we have to. Where's John's evidence? "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"LOL what claymate evidence? Claymates evidence is to reject John's or to try and say it is all manufactured......&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; **Well the story WAS manufactured in JP's mind and his little friends helped him manufacture the rest.**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Take it or reject it as you will, John has produced tangible items (a towel,.."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; **Welllll, no he hasn't because he told 'we know who' in email back and forth over the course of a day just a couple days before he went on HS that the NE made that up along with 1/2 the article they printed. TC DOES HAVE those emails.** &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"....a hotel reciept,...."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***Well, yeah because he went back on the 10th to pick up a receipt for the 2nd when he had one of his "clients" with him in room 207. He thought it might come in handy in case he wanted to extort money from a Supastah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"....IM's and tangible corroborating evidence to his story has been brought forth: the webcam pictures,"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***Guess someone wasn't around when Buddy got busted big time by WSCA who proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that both were fake.**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Terry Goldman's account)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**And TG is so innocent, isn't he? He used the same template of Thom Yorke that JP &amp; friends used for his own phony webcam.  After posting his fairytale to entertain his friends, Mr. G was deluged by fans and he immediately removed the pic and the parody of John's tale.  Later TG lit into JP (calling JP "Crazy") for rehashing Terry's faux pas and bringing his name into things again.  TG admitted to a conversation with Clay that had NOTHING to do with Hanky Panky..it was business.... which I personally hope TG &amp; his company lose.  That kind of unprofessional behavior shows how untrustworthy that company is.**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"TC, RCA,"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;** Huh?  Pass that Whacky Tobacky** so we can have some.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"....Details Magazine,...."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Ah, yes.  Another con artist who lied to the FL Claymates and wrote an erroneous article after NO conversation about the Pickle occurred or was allowed.  Nothing like free food and entertainment knowing you're intention is to perpetuate the lies and bash away just to sell a rag mag for men.**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"...Matt Ehlers at The News &amp; Observer,...."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Ummmm, what about Matt Ehlers? He wouldn't give Pickle the time of day.  Afterall, he was with Clay and Clay's family when the Boston Webcams were supposed to have taken place.  Funny thing is BECAUSE Matt and Clay's family were with Clay, he booked a suite for ALL (Clay, Matt, Clay's mom and brother) at a posher hotel... which WASN'T the Wyndham Hotel (which WAS used for the background in those webcam phonies).  Funnier even is whomever used the cell phone pics of Clay's jacket from that day in Boston (at the buses) forgot to fade out Jerome's face from the bus window that reflected on the cell phone which, in turn was in the webcam phonies.  &lt;br /&gt;  BWAHAHAHAHAHA .............. Can we say DUMBASS?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"the National Enquirer, and others (from tabloids to mainstream media)have not produced nor found anything in 8 months that invalidates John's account."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***Well, blow me down!  Why do you suppose they haven't invalidated John's account?  BECAUSE someone near and dear to us here offered proof to Mr. Butterfield and he replied that he didn't want anything that proved Clay's innocense...he wanted the scandal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Butterfield was not the least bit interested in the truth, he wanted the lies because it would sell. Mainstream media isn't interested in the story because they are all too familiar with these scams on celebrities and THEY can get sued. Tabloids WANT to get sued because it's advertisement for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happened is Clay ignored them as well...no advertising...bummer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted at JP's blog at 8:26 PM &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Side Note: &lt;br /&gt;For a good laugh call the Gherkin Pickle Little Swamp of Whorers at &lt;br /&gt;BR-549.

This is sort of a challenge.  Watch the Pickle but don't post on his blog.  He's basically down to talking to himself so there's not many left to convince that what he claims is a fairytale.  The few still posting in support of him are our old nemeses anyway and they already know the truth and it isn't what they are telling either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you get the urge listen to 2 WYs, watch the first Invisible download, 3 WDCs and call me in the morning for intervention if that doesn't work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Game Suggestion by:  Yeah That&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sooooo...
