Flagged or Fagged on YouTube

I posted this song by CWA on YouTube and it was taken down with the message “Rejected (content inappropriate).” There wasn’t a video, just a picture of the band. I realize it’s not the greatest song, but it’s a piece of queer music history. I first heard “Only Straight Girls Wear Dresses” when I was a teenager back in the mid-nineties on a...

When's the Rally to Restore Reality?

So, this is how Jon characterizes the liberal response to his Rally to Restore Sanity. And this was Rachel Maddow’s actual response. See what Jon did there is he took a clip of Rachel Maddow responding to Keith Olbermann’s suspension and presented it as if it was her response to his Rally to Restore Sanity. And he completely ignored her actual response because it didn’t...

I'm Green. Why do I vote Blue?

When I moved from South Carolina to California in 2009, I registered as a Democrat for the first time. On election day I seriously began reconsidering that choice. Not out of disillusionment or anger with the Democratic Party, but because the California ballot has a lot of Green on it and I don’t see my Democratic Senators or Congressman getting primaried from the left. That doesn’t...

OMG ONE TIME RACHEL MADDOW MADE A MISTAKE! And then corrected herself the very next day. However, this doesn’t stop right-wingers from jacking off about it to this day. If all you’ve got is a 4 month old mistake that was corrected, I’d say Rachel is winning. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy ‘The Rachel Maddow Show’ for...

Senator Bunning is Teabagging the Senate

Last Thursday night Senator Bunning said he didn’t think many were watching as he held up extending jobless benefits. (I was as many were. And many more have now seen the CSPAN video.) One of his final remarks that night that struck me as interesting was something he said about the Tea Party: “If you think the Tea Party people are crazy, get them involved in your Senate race, or get...

No one said a 2 degree rise in the average temperature of the surface of the earth would make Summer happen in February in New England. It doesn’t have to be colder than usual in New England to snow, there just has to be more precipitation. Precipitation happens when the surface of the water is warmer than the air above it. For the east coast specifically it’s the temperature of the...

This from the same site that mocked a woman for appearing or acting mannish. A better gauge for gender equality might not be how jobs are assigned, but how accepted gender variance is. If genders were truly equal, crossing gender boundaries wouldn’t be newsworthy.

When The Prankster Won't Hang Up

One time I got a prank call and started a conversation with the prankster. They were very upset I didn’t just hang up. “Hey YOU called me!” Another time I got into a fight with a woman (okay it was my girlfriend’s ex) who got all in my face, pushed me and then said, “Why are you touching me?” Well, that’s backwards isn’t it? And now someone who...

Watch

Bohemian Rhapsody finale at Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach, SC combined fireworks, lasers and water fountains choreographed to music by Queen. The Hard Rock Park was only open for one season in 2008. It went bankrupt then sold due to financial problems thanks to the economy tanking. At least I got to experience and capture some of it during the short time it was open.
