Clay Aiken comes out

Okay, so this does potentially kill some of Kathy Griffin’s material (although I always kind of got the sense that Clay got the humor), but good for Clay for finally doing this. (Although I think that in terms of shocking, this is right up there with the sun rising in the east.)

However, it . . . → Read More: Clay Aiken comes out

DataLounge: Subject: REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

I am not sure if this is original to the DataLounge (probably not), but this is an inspired parody of the Nigerian email scam.

Subject: REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

Dear American:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.

The Gist: Hypocrisy Bombshell: Antigay John McCain has a Gay Chief of Staff

Sigh. Is anyone surprised by gay Republicans actively working to support a candidate who would allow them to be discriminated against and made second class citizens?

The mental contortions that these folks must go through is simply mind boggling.

More voter registration and PPD wrap up

Still kind of a marathon weekend. After coming back from the wedding and crashing into a coma, I went out later to do voter registration at the 2 bars. I didn’t get anyone at Craze, although there was a large crowd there visiting from a church who were all already registered and strongly for . . . → Read More: More voter registration and PPD wrap up

Rowan’s Wedding

It’s been a pretty busy weekend. Friday, I went down to Vertigo, the GLBT dance party in Butler, They had been without a site for a year or so. It was very nice. I did some voter registration and took some photos for the newsletter that we are putting to bed this weekend. I . . . → Read More: Rowan’s Wedding

Bible tract fun!

How odd! I got the mail and there was an envelope addressed to “News for Gays” and no return address. (But a Providence RI postmark.) Inside was an anti-gay tract with Bible verses and pseudo-scientific “facts.” One of the “facts” claimed that straight men and women lived to be 75 and 79 respectively, but . . . → Read More: Bible tract fun!

McCain Can’t Keep a Crowd and Town Hall meeting was screened

Ouch! That’s got to hurt about others coming just to gawk at Sarah, apparently.

However, it sounds like they aren’t sure whether Sarah is capable of handling questions from people who are not part of her base. As Sen Chuck Hagel (R-Nebraska) noted, it is a "stretch" to say that she is qualified. Screening . . . → Read More: McCain Can’t Keep a Crowd and Town Hall meeting was screened

Poll: Support for Calif. anti-gay amendment wanes

Yay! Things are looking good for this horribly unfair amendment to be defeated. The change in the wording doesn’t seem to be the factor; half of the people surveyed got the original wording and the other half got the more accurate newer wording.

(San Francisco, California) A new poll of California voters shows that . . . → Read More: Poll: Support for Calif. anti-gay amendment wanes

Whack job columnist supports animal cruelty

Is this some kind of twisted performance art piece?!?! What kind of person actually thinks that a human being is justified in killing a house cat that poses no threat. Yes, I could see if someone was being threatened by a possibly rabid animal that one might have to take extreme measures.

But killing . . . → Read More: Whack job columnist supports animal cruelty

Washington Times – GOP senator: A ‘stretch’ to say Palin is qualified

Whoa! When someone in who is a Republican Senator realizes that Gov. Sarah Palin is not qualified, I think that is fairly significant.

I also find it disturbing that they seem to be restricting Palin from the press. Everything seems to be tightly controlled and the vigorous vetting that the other principals in the . . . → Read More: Washington Times – GOP senator: A ‘stretch’ to say Palin is qualified
