In other words, the narrative about Goldwater as the guiding light of the post-war GOP is wrong. Nixon, and his allies, have driven the agenda since the late 1940s. Other Republicans (Eisenhower, Goldwater, Reagan) represented factions who, at most, were allowed a seat at the table created by Nixon. First, consider the following facts about the [...]
I'm not a big fan of the man personally, but John Aravosis over at AmericaBlog has covered President Barack Obama's total betrayal of the gay community beautifully of late. And a good thing, too, because I'm just too fucking livid to see straight, let alone write a coherent sentence -- especially about this LATEST goddamned outrage . And on the ANNIVERSARY of Loving v. Virginia , the Supreme Court...
OK, GL , I can't hold back. This week you have reduced me to my most common element. To all my pearl-wearing friends, I apologize in advance. Just clutch those Mikimoto’s to your chest and hold on. Now, let’s talk about sex. Josh see Liv and motions for her to come over, and bring her muff-in for breakfast. How is she? Fine, in somewhat of a holding pattern. Good thing she has in flight...

Goodbye, Rograine, hair plugs, and bad toupees. Hello, Bumpits™ . When I am home sick (I was too sick, Boog!) as I was the past two days, I tend to watch a little too much TV, particularly CBS soaps (Guiding Light FTW) and infomercials. Bumpits™ are all the rage with the Latinas at the House [...]
James Van Der Beek's sham marriage of nearly six years has finally come to an end . I wonder if this means his heart still belongs to daddy, aka John Wesley Shipp. I feel like I lost my "virginity" for a second time when I heard my flight attendant friend Rodney's unabridged story about the time he was (literally) picked up by the strapping former "Guiding Light" hunk, below, who...
How Sesame Street Changed the World | Newsweek If you haven't watched recently with your children or grandchildren, you'll be relieved to know that impending middle age hasn't wrinkled Sesame Street all that much. Big Bird still waddles, Cookie Monster still goes on his sugar binges and Ernie still wakes up Bert at all hours with questions (none of them, mercifully, about the nature of their relationship)....

Except to immobility, stagnation,...

I must preface this blog with an admission: This week's recap could just as easily be last week's recap with Doris and a Sunday school lesson thrown in. I am not so naive about this genre that I don't realize the normal pace is just a knot faster than continental drift. Add in the logistics that Jessica Leccia (Natalia) is now 9 months pregnant, and you have, Slow-talia. I find myself focusing more...
