Alec Baldwin delivers verbal noogie to less gay-friendly younger brother

You've got to feel for Alec Baldwin. He's had a rough couple of years, what with his Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf style separation and divorce from Kim Basinger, the humiliating public disclosure of an angry phone call to his daughter, and now the insane ramblings of his younger, lesser brother Stephen.

As you may remember, Stephen was a D-list actor who was known for his partying ways and the tendency of his films to go "straight to video". Then something miraculous happened. He "found God", and now he's a D-list actor known for his proselytizing ways and the tendency of his films to go "straight to Sci_Fi-Channel". Stephen made news recently when he called into the Howard Stern show voicing his support for Mike Huckabee and voicing his displeasure with the idea of gay marriage:

"I don’t believe that gay marriage is in line with God’s Word, which is found in the Bible. So, what I think doesn’t matter; what I believe is what’s in the Bible and the Bible says that gay marriage is not acceptable."

Via GOOD AS YOU comes Alec's response to his brother's eye-rolling statement, from the next issue of Tthe Advocate:

"Well, in the modern political world, people like that -- whether or not I'm related to them -- only help us raise money. They want to ban gay marriage because those people are incapable of having a biological family -- that's their only argument. You can ban gay marriage, but if you're going to make it fair, then you have to ban marriage for everybody else who won't produce children. But they just single out groups of people that they hate."

Everyone always says that his little brother William is the "Hot Baldwin", but the fact that Alec makes statements like that, coupled with the fact that every year that passes pushes Alec further into "papa bear" territory, makes me beg to differ.

    Angry Phone Call Message

    Alec Baldwin's recorded Angry Phone Call to his ungrateful daughter is funnier than any of the Simpsons episodes EVER.

    Alec is one of the good Baldwins.

    I'm not a huge fan of Alec Baldwin, but I love the fact that he has played gay characters in the past. I thought that him being the big bear wanting to take advantage of Canteen Boy on one of his many SNL appearances was great. Too bad Sandler couldn't hold it together. 

    It's sad but he does have the right answer as to why the right wingers attack us, and it's all about the money. Mel White's book Stranger at the Gates offers a great insight into the thinking that goes into why the fundamentalists do what they do.

    The world revolves around money. Too bad, I wish it really revolved around love, like the Bible says.

    Much Love, Brian

    The St Augustine Principle

    There's a concept I like to think of as "The St Augustine Principle".

    For those unfamiliar, St Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, is considered one of the main fathers of the Catholic Church and the author of much of what constitutes Christian doctrine.  During his younger days he was quite the party boy and coined the famous phrase: "Grant me chastity and continence, but not yet"

    In later life he went on to become a hardcore prude and laid the groundwork for centuries of misery in which we still live.  The moral of the story being that those who've lived dissolute lives and then "find God" have a tendency to be highly judgemental of others.  Stephen Baldwin is in this category.
