I could have sworn I called this one a couple times on this site. However, now it’s official. I hope Al Franken enjoys the 5 years and 6 months he has left due to some jackass who couldn’t damn well concede about 8 months ago. I’m just saying…

So, I’ve noticed a huge spike in web traffic over the course of the past few days thanks to ugly dog searches. This led me to do my own little search and, wouldn’t you know it, it’s that time of year for the new “World’s Ugliest Dog” competition out of the Sonoma-Marin Fair. Instead of [...]

Elvis was the King to my parents’ generation. His death was the shock in the music industry for them. Michael Jackson was the King of my generation and now it’s my turn to be in shock. I grew up running from the living room when the zombie scene in Thriller appeared on television, screaming for [...]

First, I have “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” running through my head. Gee I wonder why. Oh, that’s why. Okay, so I’d like to raise my middle finger to Gov. Sanford. I’d also like to use this latest case of a God-fearing Republican proving that gays won’t fuck up marriage — straight people like him [...]

I had read that President Sarkozy stated yesterday that he wants to do away with burqas in France saying that it turns women into “prisoners behind a screen.” He went onto say, “The burqa is not a religious sign, it’s a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement – I want to say it solemnly. [...]

I received the following from the Holocaust Museum and figured I would pass it along in case any of you would like to help out the family of Officer Johns and would like an alternative to donating through the American Jewish Committee. The email is as follows: “Dear Museum Friend, On Friday, June 19, our [...]

Frankly, I’m not sure how I feel about this. It does give some benefits to gay partners of some federal workers, but it doesn’t give all the benefits that straight couples receive. Here’s the take from last night’s Rachel Maddow Show:

I’m not sure if you had read or heard about it, but on Friday, George H.W. Bush jumped out of a plane strapped onto a U.S. Army soldier and parachuted back to earth for his 85th birthday. This led me to wonder, who paid for him to skydive and use military personnel and aircraft to [...]

Recently Sarah Palin has been back in the news. It started with her snub at a GOP dinner where she was not allowed to speak. She was probably allowed to talk to her table-mates, just not give a speech like she had hoped. She’s made up for that since by going on the attack against David [...]

It is a rarity for me to post about the same subject two days in a row, however my thoughts still remain with the death of Officer Johns and this will be pretty brief. As you are probably aware, the museum closed its doors and lowered its flag to half-staff in honor of Officer Johns, [...]

I was sickened to hear the news of a shooting at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum that left Stephen T. Johns dead after a man, full of the same hatred was behind the Holocaust, stormed in and started spraying bullets. I’m not going to discuss the murderer, as you have probably read or heard [...]

I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with “The Graham Norton Show.” If you aren’t and you have BBC America, I would suggest that you check him out. (His show normally runs on Saturday nights at 10pm ET) A few weeks ago, Graham had Isabella Rossellini on as a guest who discussed her [...]

These are words I never thought I’d utter: Dick Cheney and I agree on something. I’m aware that this means Hell is getting a little frosty right about now. While speaking at the National Press Club, Dick Cheney stated that he believes that anyone should be able to get married. Then again, he does have [...]
