POLITICAL LOGOS TODAY AND YESTERDAY 

Art and politics will be prevalent for the 

next 4 months. Last week was a brief history 

of the logos of the political parties and 

a glimpse of the logo for the Trump/Pence 

campaign. Logos have an effect of creating 

the brand for the candidates. They become 

bumper stickers and window stickers and 

posters and flyers that identify the candidates. 

Hilary Clinton has just introduced her 

Vice Presidential candidate but an official 

logo with both of their names is not yet 

available when this article is being written. 

The distinctive H logo with the arrow as 

the center line will probably remain as the 

primary logo for Hilary. MSNBC lead into 

the announcement of the nomination of 

Kane with the H logo arrow pointing to 

CLINTON with KANE’S name below. The 

official logo for Trump/Pence was shown 

last week. This is presumably the official 

logo unless there is a decision to change it, 

with that being a good probability, considering 

the indecisiveness of Mr Trump 

generally. 

Hilary Clinton’s logo has been analyzed by 

several design experts and they have found 

it to be cleverly designed to being versatile 

in application. The H being a primary 

square, non distinct shape, but with the 

addition of the arrow as the center line of 

the H it becomes a adaptable to almost any 

application with the arrow leading the way 

toward slogans and other motifs that may 

be promoted with the logo. As an example 

with the graphic in this article, the H logo 

with the arrow and then the H logo using 

the colors of the gay flag. 

In contrast the Trump/Pence Logo has the 

T penetrating the P, providing the graphic 

of dominance of Trump with Pence being 

subservient or receiving if put in sexual 

context. We will soon be seeing the official 

Clinton/Kane logo. You can assume there 

will be no penetration suggestion when 

that is unveiled. Hopefully it will reveal 

a convergence of two people who will be 

working together to help provide a more 

positive context to politics and the future 

of the United States.

Hillary 2016 

If you missed it, President Obama 

denounced Donald Trump, while calling 

on Americans to vote for Hillary Clinton 

on Wednesday night. “There has never 

been a man or a woman -- not me, not 

Bill, nobody -- more qualified than Hillary 

Clinton to serve as President of the 

United States,” Obama told the Democratic 

National Convention audience. 

For the many people that worked for 

Hillary its a job well done. From Palm 

Springs Equality bus was a personal victory 

fpr all those that GOT OUT AND 

DID SOMETHING and not as Obama 

said bitch from the sidelines. 

If you want to know the history of Convention 

delegates, we have a great story 

for you on page 28. 

Hillary Clinton made history Tuesday 

night, July 26 2016, “the biggest crack in 

that glass ceiling yet” by becoming the 

first woman nominee of a major political 

party in the United States. But sexism is 

still the norm, most of the coverage still 

went to Obama and Bill Clinton. 

Michelle Obama started the healing by 

saying many of us felt what Bernie supporters 

are feeing now, “When she didn’t 

win the nomination eight years ago, she 

didn’t get angry, or disillusioned. Hillary 

did not pack up and go home. Because 

as a true public servant, Hillary knows 

that this is so much bigger than her own 

desires or disappointments.” 

Bernie Sanders, was no sell out, winning 

a tremendous amount voters and even 

feeling burned by the process described 

on page 28. Said emphatically “I have 

known Hillary Clinton for 25 years, I 

served with her in the United States Senate 

and know her as a fierce advocate for 

the rights of children. Hillary Clinton 

will make an outstanding president, and I 

am proud to stand with her.” 

I want to do it because I want to 

do it. Women must try to do things 

as men have tried. When they fail, 

their failure must be but a challenge 

to others. 

Amelia Earhart 

But history will be written by hook or 

by crook meaning “by any means necessary” 

and it would be a big, dare I say 

Yuge mistake not to look at the women in 

your life and reflect how big this moment 

really is. Your sisters, aunts and cousins, 

mothers and grand mothers. 

Reflect on the scale of her achievement, 

let history debate the merits of her 

policies, her record and your opinion 

of-trustworthiness, but keep the sheer 

excitement. Few are or should advocate 

Hillary on solely the basis of her gender, 

but if you ignore it, you will miss that 

she held the largest gender gap lead ever 

recored and that means something. Congratulations, 

Hillary Clinton 


Convention Drama? 

In 1832, the first Democratic National 

Convention was held in Baltimore, Maryland. 

As usual, it too was a rigged nomination. 

The plan for the convention was 

carried out among members of Jackson’s 

“Kitchen Cabinet,” warning former Secretary 

of War and delegate John Eaton the 

day before the convention not to vote for 

anyone there except Van Buren, unless he 

was prepared to “quarrel with the General 

Jackson. And thus began the storied epic 

battle for the Democratic Party. Some 

times right and often wrong. No roll call 

vote was taken to nominate Jackson for 

a second term. Instead, the convention 

passed a resolution stating that “we most 

cordially concur in the repeated nominations 

which he has received in various 

parts of the union.” With 283 delegates 

present voting for he Presidential nominee 

Andrew Jackson of Tennessee and Vice 

Presidential nominee Martin Van Buren 

of New York. 

in the bank and begrudgingly thanked 

the democratic party for not bankrupting 

this nation as she had feared since Ralph 

Nader ran the green party in to the round. 

But even Sarandon knows it mostly theatre 

and drama, I would bet however a lot 

of young democrats see a horrible system 

of establishment types and fall for everything 

they did. Like riling them up and the 

morning so they where napping by 5pm. 

Still, recent memories can point more 

troublesome democratic conventions and 

perhaps the word “democratic”, rightfully 

confused a number of people that still 

cannot seem to get its a run as a private 

party with loose admission rules. Its singular 

intention is to nominate and elect 

the person most likely to follow the party 

line. 

Bad News Bears During 1968 primary season, 

roughly 60 percent of delegates were 

hand selected by county committeemen, 

state party officers and elected officials 

who would commit to Vice President 

Hubert Humphrey, a loyal democrat who 

was unfortunately also committed to President 

Lyndon Johnson’s policy in South- 

While Susan Sarandon Looked uncomfortably 

constipated during most of the 

Democratic National Convention, she 

remembered 28 Your weekly she had LGBT 50 million Gay Desert dollars Guide. View east Asian our Free War! Digital Among Version racial on-line. strife, both

Martin Luther King and RFK were assassinated. 

“The world has never been more 

disorderly within memory of living man,” 

journalist Walter Lippmann wrote. Inside 

the convention, as Trump likes to boast 

the local political machine roughed up 

liberal delegates and journalists in plain 

view of news cameras. While massive 

protests happened outside as beckoned 

by the words “won’t you please come to 

Chicago”, they stormed the castle and 

were repelled as a temporary bombing 

halt was not adopted. 

When Senator Abraham Ribicoff spoke 

in protest, it was reported Mayor Richard 

Daley said “Fuck you. You Jew son-ofa-bitch!”. 

So I hardly think NO TPP is a 

comparable protest. 

Republicans have also had worse days, 

such as when moderate Republicans 

walked into their party’s convention 

determined to block the ascendance of 

Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona. 

And delegates flatly rejected a moderate 

amendment that would have strengthened 

the party’s plank on civil right. 

Some things never change. In 1924, the 

DEM called the “Klanbake” convention 

took 103 ballots to approve a compromise 

measure that denounced intolerance generally 

but avoided specific mention of the 

Klan. 

By 1972, the Democratic Party re-wrote 

the rules governing its selection process. 

Now, voters would select roughly 60 percent 

of delegates by caucus or primary, 

and by requirement, delegate slates would 

draw from a more diverse population. 

But that too was short lived as reforms 

that included minorities, caused white 

ethnic Democrats, to feel disenfranchised 

along with most prominent Democratic 

leaders who were excluded from the 

convention based on party line support 

during the primaries. 

Ok thats was wrong so ten years later 

in 1976, the party reserved a portion of 

delegate slots for Democratic elected officials 

dubbed “super-delegates.” 

What could go wrong with that they said?

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by Jersey Shore 

Once upon a time, there was this 

Queen. Mind you, Queen is just a label 

that you get. This Queen hasn’t earned 

a thing. Her name was Peach Mango 

Shithead. A talentless hack with zero 

personality. Well if you want to play 

the game like the Pros, and you lack 

EVERY qualification, you are going to 

be a manipulative, game playing fool. 

And that’s how this evil Queen got her 

claws in with the big fish. Well, she 

swam away from her school and now 

she is alone in her quest for fabulousness? 

I’m not really sure how she’ll stay 

afloat. I don’t think she knows either. 

Well, the town was full of people with 

bridges and she burned SO many 

bridges, what was she going to do? 

Well, Miss Calculation was very calculated. 

Any time something is so 

calculated, you are not dealing with 

a full deck. And let me tell you, not 

only was it NOT a full deck, some of 

the other cards, like the old maid card 

and go fish cards surfaced. This Queen 

was evil, but because she acted all pure 

and delicate, no one would ever know 

how EVIL she was. She puts Satan to 

shame. 

Well, once the proof spills and you 

see all the cyber bullying and head 

games, not to mention destroying lives 

and relationships. Physical abuse and 

damage...Karma will hit and that will 

be the show I watch that night!!! I stay 

away from drama, but this is THE 

show this summer!!! 

Peace, Love, and Summer Blockbusters, 

Jersey 

Contact Jersey Shore at Dragapalooza@aol.com 

Or Follow on Facebook. 

Jersey can be seen EVERY SUNDAY 

starting at NOON for Disco Brunch @ 

Georgie’s Alibi Azul.

WEEKLY GUIDE TO THE STARS 

ARIES: March 20 - April 18: 

Emotions aren’t things to be 

ignored. A tiff could turn into 

something much more complicated 

if left unaddressed. 

TAURUS: April 19 - May 19: You 

may find yourself in deep, but 

you’re not a person that crumbles. 

Endure it as best you can. 

GEMINI: May 20 - June 19: Did 

you get all your documents in order? 

Loose ends could still exists 

and cause delays. 

CANCER: June 20 - July 21: Try 

not to be so sensitive Things that 

lie beneath the surface may very 

well pays off in a good way. Avoid 

looking to deep into good luck. 

LEO: July 22 - Aug. 21: He is here. 

The sooner you look, the faster 

you’ll end that single streak. 

VIRGO: Aug. 22 - Sept. 21: This is 

your time to play in the deep end 

of the pool. Still waters run deep 

and your thoughts need time to 

be sorted. Don’t hurry complicated 

issues. 

LIBRA: Sept. 22 - Oct. 21: This 

is not your week for relationship 

building. Don’t try too hard or 

the one you want might run. 

SCORPIO: Oct. 22 - Nov. 20: You 

luck may change this week if your 

eyes are wide open. Take time to 

study all things that come your 

way. The one that seems too good 

might be the best option. 

SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 21 - Dec. 

20: Don’t let people step on your 

plans this week. You have a trip 

that will include an unexpected 

bonus. 

CAPRICORN: Dec. 21 - Jan. 18: 

Some one is following you so 

watch and follow back. There is a 

problem your not addressing and 

its causing back strain. 

AQUARIUS: Jan. 19 - Feb. 17: 

Keep a problem to yourself if its 

the other person, if its impacting 

you let it out. You are the big 

truck to help everyone else but 

few can help you, conserve some 

energy for you. 

PISCES: Feb. 18 - March 19: Wow 

last week was a tailspin right? But 

you hung in there and got it all 

done. Try to remember this the 

next time it all seems hopeless 

because now you know Scarlet, 

tomorrow in another day! 


THAT IS FUNNY 

Why is it so hard for women to find men that are sensitive, caring, and good-looking? Because those men 

already have boyfriends. Oh, you’re straight? Well, so is spaghetti until it gets hot and wet. 

Did you hear about the gay security guard who got fired from his job at the sperm bank? Because he got 

caught drinking on the job. 

My friends say that I’m gay because I don’t like football. What a bunch of idiots. I’m gay because I like cock 

99% of women say they don’t like men who wear leather pants. Which works out perfectly, since 100% of 

men who wear leather pants don’t like women. 

How many gays does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Two. One to screw it in and another to stand around 

and say ‘FABULOUS!’ 

Parody Trump LOVE PUTIN 

If you have a funny parody idea submit it to the DDG and if we use it we will buy you 

dinner and one of our fine restaurants. 


THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis 

Ok – I knew I should have been taking notes 

all week while the Republican convention was 

happening in Cleveland, but I figured that for 

once the ego-maniacal Trump would let the professionals 

run show. NOT! OMG – what a farce. 

From chants of “lock her up” to a state representative 

actually calling for Secretary Clinton to be 

taken out and shot (he is now being questioned 

by the Secret Service) to Senator Ted Cruz refusing 

to endorse his party’s nominee to Governor 

Kasich refusing to even go to the convention is 

HIS OWN STATE – who is running actually 

allowing all this to go on? The party’s platform 

actually has one of the most anti – LGBT planks 

in recent history. And now there’s talk that, god 

forbid, Trump is elected he is going to name 

Chris Christie as Attorney General as a consolation 

prize for being rejected for VP! Oh Lord! 

The City of Cleveland did a marvelous job keeping 

order. Sadly, they had to have 3,000 police 

officers in the streets around the convention 

center. Ohio has an open carry law so folks actually 

brought their guns to a political convention! 

I would hate to see the bill for over time and 

what that will do for the city’s budget. 

The Democrats and Mrs. Clinton, on the other 

hand, watched in glee on the sidelines as the 

Republicans continued to devour their own. 

She spoke at a number of events around the 

country and finished the week naming Senator 

Tim Kaine of Virginia as her running mate. 

A strong leader, he has been a councilman, a 

Mayor, a Governor, Senator and now probably 

the next Vice President of the United States. He 

went on the Richmond City Council in 1994, the 

same year I joined the council in Cathedral City. 

Hmmmm, I feel like such a failure! 

The Clinton/Kaine ticket is strongly pro-LGBT, 

in favor of common sense gun measures, pro-environment 

and willing to buck Wall Street. 

While I was wishing that out Lesbian Senator 

Tammy Baldwin would be the nominee, Tim 

Kaine will be outstanding. 

As I write this I am just a few hours from getting 

on a plane at Palm Springs airport to fly to 

Philadelphia for the convention. I will be taking 

notes so I don’t forget anything. Mayor Moon 

and Councilwoman Foat from Palm Springs will 

be there as well, so we should have a good time. 

Locally filling has opened for city council seats 

throughout the valley. In Cathedral City all the 

incumbents have turned in their papers and 

are getting a strong start in the campaign (that 

would be myself, John Aguilar and Mayor Stan 

Henry). Additionally, in Cathedral City there 

will be two measures on the ballot; the first to 

become a Charter City to help protect ourselves 

from the state messing around with us and to 

strengthen local rule and also a tax on marijuana 

cultivation. I’ll keep everyone posted on those 

things as time progresses. 

Greater Palm Springs Pride is beginning to 

prepare for the 35th annual parade and festival 

the first week of November. The same weekend 

will be the 11th annual Healing Field commemoration 

in Cathedral City at Patriot Park honoring 

our fallen military. Look for big crowds 

throughout the valley. Keep moving forward. 

Great things happening!
