- Polish
president dies in plane crash . It’s been a horrifying past
few days for Poland. The country lost Lech Kaczynski , its president, his
wife, and dozens of military and political leaders in a plane crash. As
his country mourns the tragedy, we should note Kaczynski was an
unrepentant homophobe. During a 2007 visit to Ireland , he opined gays
and lesbians were going to end the human race. I’ve never danced on a
grave in the past. Won’t do it now. Peace to his family, the families of
the others who died, and those Poles who are grieving.
- Ellen
hates America . A few questions: 1) Family Feud is still on
the air?, 2) is it wrong to miss Richard
Dawson and his lecherous ways?, and 3) who knew Ellen DeGeneres doesn’t like
America much? At least according to a family patriarch in the “Name
something that everybody knows about Ellen DeGeneres” category. A friend
suggested maybe the confused Daddy was thinking of Rosie O’Donnell,
which makes him a bigger fool. Only a old straight man would confuse
Ellen with Rosie.
- Sen.
John McCain has no clue about Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell . Look at
this interview with the senior senator from Arizona about DADTtroop support about the ban. Also
he doesn’t think too much of gay soldiers. He loves their service, but
needs them to be quiet about anything with the gay. And he uses a
superb rhetorical trick. When Adm.
Mike Mullen says DADT needs to be repealed, he’s giving
only his “personal opinion.” However, the theories of Marine Commandant General James T. Conway are nothing but professionally objective. Nicely done, senator. Nicely
done. . He rolls out Colin Powell’s
15 year old thoughts, and talks as if there has been no fluctuation in
- RIP
Dixie Carter . The Designing Women
star died this Saturday. Was there a television character with a sharper
tongue than Julia Sugarbaker ?
- Treme . If you’ve never heard of David
Simon , or The
Wire, it’s time to leave your wonderful gay ghetto. The
writer and producer of the best drama in TV history, returned
last night with Treme . As a TV free fool, I’ll
have to wait for it to come out on DVD.

- Was
South Africa’s biggest racist also a big old queen ? The
murder of South African white supremacist Eugene Terre’blanche has put the
country on edge. Two black farm workers are charged with the crime, and
initially it was assumed Terre’blanche was killed over money allegedly
owed. A lawyer for one of the defendants has said the victim tried to
have sex with one of the culprits. Both are men, one 28 years old and
the other 15. Terre’blanche’s allies are vehemently denying the claims.
This story is not going to end well.
- White
Party 2010 . A few weeks ago the Black Party came and went.
This past weekend, revelers were all about the White Party . Anyone go? How can people afford to attend these soirees during this
lousy economy? I can barely get my drink on at my local bar. And if I
can’t drink, what’s the point of a liver?
