the haitian yoga tragedy
you're finally dug out from under a pile of rubble. do you want water? food? to see your family? nah. most people scream: "where's my yoga mat?!!!!!" although it is kinda sweet that everyone is doing what they can.
ask. tell.
lt. dan choi, the gay military rights advocate who came under fire and was not allowed to perform drills with his unit for not adhering to the MORONIC "don't ask, don't tell" policy, is back with his unit.choi was scheduled to appear at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's Creating Change Conference over the weekend but was personally called by his commander, who has been highly supportive him during his hearing, and asked him to rejoin drill duty and has been warmly welcomed back! choi is a west point graduate and an arabic translator. we need at least a thousand more of him. hopefully this ridiculous policy will soon be a thing of the past.

walmart: hates god but loves cigarettes?
out in colorado, walmart is facing (another) discrimination suit. 10 fired west african workers (who had worked there for several years) were fired last year. allegedly (don'tcha love that word?) a new manager called a meeting and said "i don't like some of the faces i see here. there are local people who need jobs". "local people" (read: "white"). the dismissed men also state in their complaint that they were denied short prayer breaks (they are all muslim) while whites and hispanics were allowed regularly unscheduled smoke breaks.walmart is no stranger to lawsuits. some statistics show the retail giant is sued two to five times EACH DAY in us federal court alone. here in pennsylvania they were recently sued for installing surveillance cameras in the restrooms. wouldn't you want the job of watching that live feed?
anyway, the big yellow face denied all these allegations, of course. and went back to slashing prices and hiring very scary people as "greeters".
valentine's day
doesn't "valentine's day" boast the most totally amazing cast? i'm a little fearful there's no way the movie can live up to the luminaries involved. we shall see...

whatever happened to...
great interview in today's new york times with Wes Bentley, who is currently starring in the off-Broadway play "Venus in Furs". it's his first role sober as he attempts to rebuild his career after shooting to stardom in "American Beauty" before spiraling out of control into drug addiction. he's getting realy good reviews and it's nice to see him taking control of his life and his career. for someone who's had major drug issues for 10 years, he still looks good. hope he can make a fresh start.

in scouting news
this just in. the girl scouts of eastern pennsylvania have cancelled their Winter Fun Weekend because of snow. see, it's winter. and that's no fun. despite the title of their event. i'm confused.have you bought your girl scout cookies yet? we purchased 10 boxes. yup, a little overboard. but the shortbread with the layer of chocolate on the back? yum!
the boy scouts i don't discuss due to their ongoing "gays can't be scouts or scout leaders" policy which has stripped them of all united way funds in pennsylvania. thank god. i can only hope they're slowly going broke. i was a boy scout. so you see, gays can be (and are) boy scouts. don't ask don't tell i guess. but then don't get any public funds. a lot of don'ts. scouting is supposed to be empowering.
hmm...think i'll go have a cookie.

is there a heterosexual pageant dad?
snowed in today watching a little bit of everything on television. caught a "toddlers and tiaras" featuring this dude. the show was at a pageant in west virginia and this is "pageant dad" Dwayne. he's the "father" of one of the contestants and, seriously, if you look up "screaming lisping prancing queen" in the dictionary, you'd see his picture. he choreographs all his daughter's routines, does her makeup, and designs and sews all her costumes, natch. the best part was seeing him swishing and jumping and coaching the daughter through all her stage work from the back of the room. how did this man ever have vaginal intercourse to father this child? and my biggest question is: "is this heterosexual father bit all a big act?" or "do he and his wife actually not realize he's the biggest gay man on the planet"? the show ended with them walking to the car whilst Dwayne was wearing the crown his daughter won.
by cracky, it DID snow!

monopoly gets a facelift
antonio loves monopoly. it's a classic. pass Go and collect $200. not in the new "monopoly revolution" version. you get $2 MILLION for passing go. and the board is round not square. and there's no little colorful paper money but an ATM. and plastic tokens instead of the metal ones. and the thing plays songs by beyonce and rihanna. i dunno. monopoly's 60 and doesn't need to be tramping around in short shorts and hooker boots. there's something about being 60 and classy and knowing who you are. and for me, part of the fun of monopoly is stealing a little blue $50 bill from your neighbor when he's not looking. i think i'll continue to pass go and collect $200. on a square board.
smile if you think you're sexy
well, there's bad news and there's good news. bad news: there apparently IS a john edwards sex tape. made with the ho slash mother of his child. guess they grabbed the leather and the chains and the dill pickles and the whipped cream and the camcorder and went at it. the GOOD news is that today a north carolina judge has protected the nation by ruling that it be kept private. thank the lord.
tiger graduates!
tiger woods graduated today magum cum loudly (not my joke, wish it was) from the sexual rehab clinic in hattiesburg mississippi. and seems his WIFE came to pick him up and join in the celebration. i'm sure there was a cake. i think lawyer-man told wifey that she'd have access to bigger jewelry and more of the green stuff if she stayed with the tiger than if she divorced him. let's just hope they don't stop at a perkins or cracker barrel to eat on the way out of town. he just graduated and all, so no need to tempt him with a big haired waitress in a greasy apron. that's just not fair.
ma ingalls!
have you recently considered your safety while getting in or out of the tub? well ma ingalls has. she's 66 years old and her career has turned from "little house on the prarrie" mom to spokesperson for bathrooms for the infirmed and elderly. i see her commercial all the time. she looks good, wearing a cute little pink twin set she bought at her church auction. i wanna see her sitting in on the of the accessible tubs, all naked and everything, soaping up her naughty bits. *that's* a commercial worthy of her talent.
michael steele is an idiot
i know, it's hard to recognize michael steele without his foot sticking out of his mouth. the chairman of the republican national committee was speaking to a group in arkansas when he stated "trust me, after taxes, a million dollars is not a lot of money." the median income in the state of arkansas (his audience) is $38,820. not surprisingly he's against abortion, gay rights, civil unions, stem cell research, gun control and thinks that global warming is a myth. bright guy!
hmmmm?
the drummer for jimmy fallon's house band tweeted that he finds the current menu in nbc's cafeteria "racist". interesting debate. since i'm pretty down on nbc right now, i vote yes.
2000th post
okay ya'll. this is my 2000th blogger post. god, i have a lot to say. thanks for listening.
carrot stick
be careful in the parking lot of your local supermarket, y'all. carrot top seems to be roaming around exposing himself and shoving his junk in people's faces. sexy or no? you decide.

an offer they could refuse
nick snider, says forbes magazine, is the fifth most successful male model in the world. quite an achievement for a 21 year old. but this week he became infamous when he was arrested in arkansas. public intoxication or something. BUT as he rode in the police car on the way to the pokey, he says to the deputy: "If you stop, i'll suck your dick AND balls if you let me go". yes folks, that's an exact quote. personally, i think he was making quite the offer. "dick AND balls"?! apparently the officer *could* refuse.then, when he got to the jailhouse, he make the same offer to the booking agent and was promptly charged with attempting to illegally influence a public servant. now nick is free on bond (and hopefully got the hell out of dodge, arkansas). but he's still up a creek because his trial is scheduled for feb. 17 - smack in the middle of fashion week. maybe he can try to make a deal with the judge.
oh, and beside nick's prada ad is his mugshot. his shirt says "hey babe, when we chillaxin'?"
guess what, world
jimmy johnson has coached the dallas cowboys. and the miami dolphins. now he spends time doing football color commentary on some network. BUT, his career has just taken a HUGE step forward. he's the new spokesperson for ExtenZe, a male enhancement supplement. he'll spend time in ads telling folks "i have a tiny penis but these pills make it bigger". what a proud moment.
brittany murphy
the coroner's report is in. pneumonia and drug intoxication. sad, but everyone expected the latter. her hubby needs to shut up for a while.
new muppet movie!
word on the street is that it's definitely in development. yay! miss piggy SO deserves oscar consideration.
