......Profile.............. Please Welcome Back Scott from "Bill In Exile" ...............


..............and here we have a treat. Scott from Bill In Exile is back for a part 2 of the profile that got the most traffic ever on my blog. Now some would use the term groupie - but I am a great admirer of Scott.

He represents a minority of gay men these days - cultured, urbane, witty, intelligent, insightful. Yes, he is also a pig with a penchant for porn and some of the PRETTIEST boyfriends you will ever see BUT it is part of the picture and not the WHOLE picture. Some of you lads could learn a thing or too from this.


Oh - and I just had to throw my 2 cents worth in at certain points as well because these answers deserve some worship. I'm in PINK. Surprise.

(2CW) Hey Scott- welcome back mate !

Glad to be back. You know, you're the only blogger I would do one of these for don't you?

And I am grateful that a mensch like you said yes to my request - twice :)


The man himself


(2CW) You recently had a little bit of cutting done. How's it healing up?

Not too bad actually. They took my appendix out and that healed fine......for a bit.

(2CW) Now since you were last here, a lot has happened in your life. Why don't you bring us all up to date?

Wellll, after the appendectomy one of the incision sites got badly infected so I got rushed back to the hospital where they opened me up again in order to scrape out the abscess. They had to leave the wound open -- it was so big that they couldn't suture it -- so now, and for the next couple of weeks, I've got a hole in my stomach that you can slip three or four quarters stacked on top of each other into.




And just a few days before all this happened my BF Richard departed for China on a work assignment for the next TWO YEARS!!!


(2CW) How are you doing being on your own with the puppies?

The dogs miss Richard. Me? Not so much.

Liar .......... :)


(2CW) How was your Summer in Seattle this year? Did you get a good one this year?

Summer here tends toward the beautiful -- our weather comes from Hawaii during the summer -- but this summer was a once in a century summer. We had gorgeous weather pretty much non stop from May until the end of September. Although, the last week of July was hot. In fact it got to 107 degrees here one day and was actually hotter here that day than at Death Valley -- usually the hottest spot in America.





(2CW) Lets get down to politics coz you know how much I love that. Let's start off with the obvious. Joe Wilson. I am not even going to use his proper form of address. Can you believe this douche broke ALL the rules and heckled during a Presidential address??? 1st time in the history of the Capitol. Nancy Pelosi looked like she was gonna do a twirl and put the smack down on his ass.

The republicans have become so unhinged and shit-house rat crazy that its really amazing. And quite entertaining actually. All of this behavior is simply them acting out because they're not in power anymore and as I said on my blog recently -- republicans have become the biggest group of pussies and babies imaginable. Always whining and bitching and playing the victim but never once willing to step up with a solution for the problems that ail us.


(2CW) Has the political right suffered a group acquired brain injury recently?

They listen to Glenn beck too much that's for sure. Enuff said.



Glenn "The Butthead" Beck


(2CW) And the whole "Gay Marriage is Socialism?" That one makes me laugh so hard I pee myself a litte. You have to love ignorant people who actively demonstrate their Appalacian-backass-country-fuck education which only serves to highlight one single fact........................... they are douches........... and stupid ones at that.

If Gay marriage is socialism then that makes every hetero married couple in America card carrying communists because all we're asking for is exactly the same thing that they get already.


(2CW) As a Jew I have to say that I am pretty disgusted not only at the overt racism being chucked at the President but also that these meat heads are throwing in Nazi references as well?

You know Damien, that's really not all that unusual in American politics. We've got this wide and deep strain of racism that runs through our country and its always been right out there on display for everyone to see. Its just gotten more out there and in your face since November when all of these fuckwitted bigots lost their God given right to not have a black president and are now all pissed off about it.

The overt racism we are now seeing is just stomach turning.....

(2CW) How do you feel President Obama is doing? He is incredibly popular on the international stage, but how about at home?

I give him a Gentleman's C teetering on a C minus if he doesn't pull his head out of his ass. I think he's made a huge mistake spending too much time trying to win bipartisan support for his policies from republicans who have no investiture in anything other than seeing him fail and who have demonstrated zero willingness to negotiate in good faith. He's done so at the expense of good policy, giving away things in the health care debate that didn't need to be given away.

I also think that he and Tim Geithner have done nothing to curb the excesses of the bankers and Wall Streeters that brought our economy to the edge of ruin. He's also been abysmal when it comes to gay issues and there I give him an F. I think his embrace of Bush era anti-terror polices such as the Patriot Act and his willingness to detain people without charges and to continue the Bush era surveillance polices are outrageous as well.


(2CW) It is the 70th Anniversary since the start of World War II. My grandad was an American GI who fought in the Pacific. Interestingly enough we have seen Nazi references used by Birthers, college guys in New Zealand dressing up as Jewish concentration camp prisoners, an Australian Radio host who used concentration camp references and several other bits in the news all about the tacky use of WWII images and references. Have we failed to educate the current generation about the sacrifice and horror of that period?+

Yes and no. I think that we don't focus on stuff like this because its hard and because people want to forget it all. But at the same time even if you did educate people better you run up against the problem that not only is it hard and people want to forget it but many people are also stupid and racist -- and a lot of them like being that way.

I just do not understand people who want to remain "intentionally ignorant"!


(2CW) I love the Military Porn you show on BIE. For those who have no clue what that is - Active Duty and Military Classified aside - can you explain what it is?

Military Porn is, quite simply, military weaponry. Shit blowing up. And people blowing shit up. A picture or a YouTube of an AC-130 "Spooky" Gunship firing all of its weapons on a night mission is the epitome of Mil/Porn. Google it and after watching it for a while tell me it didn't get your dick hard.


And yes - it DOES get my dick hard (I am still SO bitter the Oz Navy wouldn't take me)


(2CW) It seems to me that we are totally losing our civilty these days. We just do not seem to be as respectful and as mindful a society as we once was. Would you agree or disagree?

We were civil once? When was that because I'm pretty sure I missed it.

I think we once were - at least at the societal level.

(2CW) Did you see the hot mess that was the Kirk Cameron youtube about Darwin?

I luvz me some Kirk Cameron!!!

That boy is fucking convinced that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a dinosaur. You've just gotta love a person who so convinced of his righteousness in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Did you see him in the tee vee version of The Left Behind series? They should have given him an Emmy for Earnestness.


(2CW) Can you believe the whole Kanye meltdown? WTF was that?

Kanye has clearly been surrounded too long by yes men and go on girls. He needs to get out from his bubble and he'll realize that he's just a poor dumb asshole like the rest of us.

(2CW) Onto men - and hot men - namely your exes. You CERTAINLY know how to pick hot, handsome men. You are also very good friends with all of them it seems. Most gay men I know have that rule "Exes are exes for a reason and that makes them my enemy". Now I've had a couple of break ups where it was acrimonious and parting ways was the right thing to do. But I have also had some exes that I did stay friends with. How have you managed it?

All of my Exes are my friends. In fact, they're my closest friends. If you're gonna be as close to someone as you are when you're boyfriends it sort of seems stupid to me not to do the things necessary to keep those people in your life even after you stop being boyfriends.


Scott & Ex-Patrick


Plus, all my Exes are really hot and I like having them around so that as I enter my dotage I am able to be reminded that I was, at one time, capable of scoring hot menz like them.


(2CW) On to Porn - WOO HOO !!! (Come one Scott - you know how much of a piglet I am :) - What's happening in your life in the world of cock, butt and cum? Any news? Anything you wanna share :) ?

Absolutely NOTHING if you can believe. I've been very very calm the past couple of years.

Oh dear :(


(2CW) In a recent post on your blog about how lacking the art of true cocksucking is - I can't agree more - you made mention that you produce porn. Do tell?

I consider Bill in Exile porn. I mean, I get banned from enough links from other blogs because they deem my blog porn so I consider the fact that I produce the blog as the same as producing porn. My blog is banned in China for that very reason you know.

(2CW) How are the Hot House guys? They visited you recently didn't they? If you saw my Porn Star profile recently he said a number of highly complimentary things about them. They really do seem to be the standard of how companies should operate.

Actually, they'll be here in three days! Hall of Fame director and Hot House President Steven Scarborough and his BF Brent, the HH VP/Creative Director (and my Ex) arrive here on Friday Oct. 2 to help me celebrate my 50th birthday.


The infamous 3-some themselves :)

The Hot House Duo Themselves


(2CW) You've been puttting up some bareback vids on your site recently? Any backlash because of that? I love 'em. Keep 'em coming.

None so far but I'm waiting for some sanctimonious concern troll to slither out from under his rock and start savaging me in my comment section for being irresponsible or some such shit. f course, he'll only do that AFTER watching the videos a hundred times and jacking off to them each and every time.


(2CW) You're turning 50 very soon. Firstly, Mazel Tov and may HaShem keep you safe and healthy for many more birthdays to come. How you feeling? Do you have a big birthbay bash planned or more of a laid back do?

See above re: the birthday bash and I'm feeling good actually, thanks for asking. In my mind I act like a 17 or 18 year old so I'm not to influenced by the actual passage of the years.

...At The Beginning Of This New Jewish Year Of 5770....We Remember .....


........Irena Sendler - a woman who lived her life as a truly selfless individual, saving 2500 Jewish children during WWII.

An Honoured Gentile indeed.

This is a story worth reading.


Irena Sendler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Irena Sendler
Born 15 February 1910
Warsaw, Congress Poland, Russian Empire
Died 12 May 2008 (aged 98)
Warsaw, Poland
Occupation Social worker, humanitarian

Irena Sendler (in Polish Irena Sendlerowa née Krzyżanowska; 15 February 1910 – 12 May 2008)[1] was a Polish Catholic social worker who served in the Polish Underground and the Żegota resistance organization in German-occupied Warsaw during World War II. Assisted by some two dozen other Żegota members, Sendler saved 2,500 Jewish children by smuggling them out of the Warsaw Ghetto, providing them false documents, and sheltering them in individual and group children's homes outside the Ghetto.[2]

Sendler's story was brought to light in the United States when students in Kansas found it described in a magazine and popularized it through their original play Life in a Jar. On April 19, 2009, The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler, a Hallmark Hall of Fame production written and directed by John Kent Harrison and starring Anna Paquin in the title role, was broadcast by CBS.

Early life

Irena sympathized with Jews from childhood. Her great-grandfather had been deported to Siberia by Czarist Russia. Her physician father had died in 1917 of typhus contracted while treating Jewish patients. She opposed the ghetto-bench system that existed at some prewar Polish universities and as a result was suspended from Warsaw University for three years.[3]

World War II

During the German occupation of Poland, Sendler lived in Warsaw (prior to that, she had lived in Otwock and Tarczyn while working for urban Social Welfare departments). As early as 1939, when the Germans invaded Poland, she began aiding Jews. She and her helpers created over 3,000 false documents to help Jewish families, prior to joining the organized Żegota resistance and the children's division. Helping Jews was very risky—in German-occupied Poland, all household members risked death if they were found to be hiding Jews, a more severe punishment than in other occupied European countries.

Jewish children in the Warsaw Ghetto

In December 1942 the newly created Żegota (the Council to Aid Jews) nominated her (by her cover name Jolanta[4]) to head its children's section. As an employee of the Social Welfare Department, she had a special permit to enter the Warsaw Ghetto to check for signs of typhus, something the Nazis feared would spread beyond the Ghetto.[5] During these visits, she wore a Star of David as a sign of solidarity with the Jewish people and so as not to call attention to herself.

She cooperated with the Children's Section of the Municipal Administration, linked with the RGO (Central Welfare Council), a Polish relief organization that was tolerated under German supervision. She organized the smuggling of Jewish children out of the Ghetto, carrying them out in boxes, suitcases and trolleys.[2] Under the pretext of conducting inspections of sanitary conditions during a typhoid outbreak, Sendler visited the Ghetto and smuggled out babies and small children in ambulances and trams, sometimes disguising them as packages.[6] She also used the old courthouse at the edge of the Warsaw Ghetto (still standing) as one of the main routes for smuggling out children.

The children were placed with Polish families, the Warsaw orphanage of the Sisters of the Family of Mary, or Roman Catholic convents such as the Little Sister Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary Conceived Immaculate[7] at Turkowice and Chotomów. Some children were smuggled to priests in parish rectories. She hid lists of their names in jars in order to keep track of their original and new identities. Żegota assured the children that, when the war was over, they would be returned to Jewish relatives.[8]

In 1943 Sendler was arrested by the Gestapo, severely tortured, and sentenced to death. Żegota saved her by bribing German guards on the way to her execution. She was left in the woods, unconscious and with broken arms and legs.[2] She was listed on public bulletin boards as among those executed. For the remainder of the war, she lived in hiding, but continued her work for the Jewish children. After the war, she dug up the jars containing the children's identities and attempted to find the children and return them to their parents. However, almost all of their parents had been killed at the Treblinka extermination camp or had gone missing otherwise.

Awards

"Every child saved with my help is the justification of my existence on this Earth, and not a title to glory."[9]
—Letter to the Polish Parliament
Irena Sendler 2005

After the war and the Soviet takeover of Poland, she was at first persecuted and imprisoned by the communist Polish state authorities for her relations with the Polish government in exile and with the Home Army. While in prison she miscarried her second child and her other children were later denied the right to study at communist controlled Polish universities.[3]

In 1965 Sendler was recognized by Yad Vashem as one of the Righteous among the Nations, which was confirmed in 1983 by the Israeli Supreme Court. She also was awarded the Commander's Cross by the Israeli Institute. Only in that year did the Polish communist government allow her to travel abroad, to receive the award in Israel.

In 2003 Pope John Paul II sent Sendler a personal letter praising her wartime efforts. On 10 October 2003 she received the Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest civilian decoration, and the Jan Karski Award "For Courage and Heart," given by the American Center of Polish Culture in Washington, D.C..

On 14 March 2007 Sendler was honored by Poland's Senate. At age 97, she was unable to leave her nursing home to receive the honor, but she sent a statement through Elżbieta Ficowska, whom Sendler had saved as an infant. Polish President Lech Kaczyński stated she "can justly be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize" (though nominations are supposed to be kept secret). On 11 April 2007, she received the Order of the Smile as the oldest recipient of the award.

In May 2009, Irena Sendler was posthumously granted the Audrey Hepburn Humanitarian Award.[10] The award, named in honor of the late actress and UNICEF ambassador, is presented to persons and organizations recognised for helping children. In its citation, the Audrey Hepburn Foundation recalled Irena Sendler’s heroic efforts that saved two and a half thousand Jewish children during the German occupation of Poland in World War Two.

Sendler was the last survivor of the Children's Section of the Żegota Council to Assist Jews, which she had headed from January 1943 until the end of the war.

Nobel nominee

In 2007 considerable publicity[11] accompanied Sendler's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.[12] While failed nominations for the award have not been officially announced by the Nobel organization for 50 years, the International Peace Research Institute, Oslo, reported in 2007 that Irena Sendler's nominator had made the nomination public. [13] Regardless of its legitimacy, talk of the nomination focused a spotlight on Sendler and her wartime achievements. The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former Vice President of the United States Al Gore.[14]

Life in a Jar

Sendler's tree at Yad Vashem

In 1999, Megan Stewart and her friends were inspired, by their high school history teacher Norman Conard in southeast Kansas, to investigate a small clipping on the life of an unsung hero, Irena Sendler.[15] When the students began their research, they found a website that mentioned her. Based on their findings, the students created a play, Life in a Jar (after her hiding place for documents). After ten years, their play and the subsequent media attention had made her world-famous.[citation needed]

Sendler's funeral

As of August 2008, there have been over 250 performances: first in Kansas, then throughout the United States and Canada, and later in Europe. The students (now young men and women in their mid-20s) continue to share her story with the world. They made six trips to Poland to visit her before she died on May 12, 2008. The cast visited Irena in Warsaw a week before her death. Irena's final words to them, “You have changed Poland, you have changed the United States, you have changed the world [by bringing Irena’s story to light]. Poland has seen great changes in Holocaust education, in the perception of the time and have provided a grand hero for their country and the world. I love you very, very much.”

Students have collected over 4,000 pages of research on Irena's life and persons she worked with during the war. More than 100 colleges and universities use material gathered by project members for class instruction. She told the students in 2002, "You cannot separate people based on their race or religion. You can only separate people by good and evil. The good will always triumph."

Life in a Jar/The Irena Sendler Project has created a teacher's award in the United States and Poland for the outstanding teacher in Holocaust Education. Project members are now working with the Children of the Holocaust Organization in Warsaw to erect a statue in her honor, to be completed in 2010 on the centenary of her birth.
