Today in 1584, January 7th marked the last day of the Bohemian calendar. Today, in 2008, Bohemia lives again. This time in the form of the most sought after cultural lifestyle. So today, we celebrate living in what is becoming a model creative class Bohemian city. Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

And a celebration it is. As news travels far and wider than a Republican stance, Eureka Bohemia Springs is just about bursting with glee over all the free advertising the American Family Ass..ociation or AFAss for short has bestowed upon us with their new movie..»They're Coming To Your Town»

A full color travelogue capturing images of Eureka and spreading the word that bigots of all flavors need to stay away from Eureka. Praise Jeezus, and Hail Mary, pass the clam dip and pour another round of devil juice. Absinthe for all!

The Rev. Phil Wilson's leather-clad posse, the Jericho Riders Christian Motorcyle Ministry, returns to town Jan. 4 for another sidewalk cardio workout. They call it a «prayer walk,» though how these bible thugs will be able to do two things at the same time remains to be seen.

It is not yet known whether Wilson will throw another party for them at his First Christian Church of Eureka Springs after they finish braying for divine intervention to keep the town «from worshiping of satan and other gods.»

The Gay News Bureau film crew will be on hand to gather footage for our upcoming video entitled, «Crap, They're Coming To Our Town--Again.»

In addition to a bundle of Christmas cards, yesterday's mail brought a large envelope with this message on the front:

«You've been chosen to receive a free 1-year subscription, compliments of American Airlines. However, if would like to cancel these free copies, Just call . . . «

As I cradled the phone betwixt shoulder and ear, waiting for a robotic operator and thinking I could do without a self-serving travel magazine, I opened the plain-white wrapper and out flopped . . .

Jacqueline Froelich, radio journalist from KUAF in Fayetteville, asked me last week what I thought about the American Family Association's new video featuring Eureka Springs and entitled «They're Coming to Your Town.»

«I give it two thumbs down for the title alone,» I said. «It should have been «They're Already IN Your Town, Stupid.»

As sound bites go, it was decent. And, probably, I should have just left it at that. But under Froelich's intense questioning, I blurted out the entire gay agenda for the total domination of Eureka Springs.

In a GQ article entitled, «Is this guy for real?» Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee explains that gay marriage will end civilization. «There's never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived,» says Huck. Except, of course, for the civilization Huckabee proposes to lead--the United States of America--which has radically redefined marriage several times since the nation's inception.

Here's a news flash: Women and children are no longer the property of the household's alpha male, as they were when the US started writing its many radical revisions of the definition of marriage and family. We've been changing the rules in this great nation of ours since 1830. That's 177 years, Huck. Try to keep up.

Next, Pope Benedict XVI piled on with his claim that gay marriage is on par with nuclear proliferation as a threat to world peace. Gays. Nuclear warheads. Gays win. All righty.
