03.03.09 SEAN PENN WANTS HARVEY MILK DAY
Sean Penn is lobbying to get California to recognize Harvey Milk’s birthday (May 22nd) as a holiday.
State Sen. Mark Leno plans to reintroduce a bill Tuesday with Penn by his side designating Milk’s birthday a “day of significance.” Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the same bill last year. In his veto message, the governor said Milk should be honored in San Francisco but not statewide. Leno says Penn’s [Best Actor] award shows that Schwarzenegger’s argument about Milk being only of provincial interest no longer holds up. [THR]
Hmm, I’m not sure that argument holds up. Otherwise we’d have Ray Charles Day, Truman Capote Day, and Idi Amin Day. But f-ck it, I’m all for holidays. Plus it’s in May, so we could all wear speedos and run around pinching each other’s asses and saying “Happy Holigay!” What? You’d rather work?

SEAN PENN WANTS HARVEY MILK DAY
I’d totally celebrate an Idi Amin Day by secretly having everyone I disagree with assassinated
On Nic Cage Day, botox is half off The Great Bear leaves battered women outside of a social services building.
and The Great Bear…
DAMMIT!
Penn’s going to milk this for all it’s worth.
*points to crotch*
That guy has cocksuckers grin
But f-ck it, I’m all for holidays.
You misspelled butt.
Dude how do you forget Johnny Cash day? We all wear black
I Am Sam day is a better bet. Everyone loves the retards.
I’m no expert on the Milk story, but I don’t think it’s right to celebrate a convicted homicidal child molester that’s currently serving 6 consecutive life sentences.
National Reach Around Day?
Gay Day?
Gloryhole Day?
So many choices
Harvey Milk Day festivities include going to the park to play felch with dog(collar-wearing lover)
YOUR dog. Fuck me, I can’t type worth shit today.
isn’t it enough they get their own parade world wide? running around the public streets in body glitter and butterfly wings finger banging each other? …..give em an inch
Anyone else find it ironic that Harvey Milk was lactater intolerant?
I’m proposing a Spicolli day. It will be celebrated the day after the scheduled occurrence as most stoners will forget about it until then.
Here in Louisville, we celebrate Ned Beatty Day by sodomizing and telling each other to squeal like a pig, boy.
Mona Lisa Vito Day would only be recognized as a half day.
I get such a nerd-boner for spectacular movies like this one. Wait a second….Okay, I guess it’s just a boner.
What Sean Penn is suggesting actually does seem like a pretty good idea. For too long the gay community has been excluded from ‘take your daughter to work day’. This will make things fair.
Problem Solver 5000: Erect a Harvey Milk bronze statue in noted San Francisco Park with golden cod piece that you rub for good luck fighting your AIDS infection. The catch is, the cod piece has AIDS.
Not to be outdone, Mickey Rourke and will be at Jesse Ventura’s side when they lobby some high school girls for some action.
Roberto Benigni and I have a suspicion The Governator will be a lot more receptive to our petition for a Shoot Jews in the Back Day.
22 comments and nobody has taken the joke about the senator’s name being Leno? That’s right, Leno stopped being funny years ago. Ba-Zing!
