Fey foe dead on the 4th of July...From NYT:
Jesse Helms, the former North Carolina Senator whose courtly manner and mossy drawl barely masked a hard-edged conservatism that opposed civil rights, gay rights, foreign aid and modern art, died early Friday. He was 86.
The White House said that "America lost a great public servant and a true patriot today." Among the inimitable comments delivered by this great public servant:
That the University of North Carolina should be renamed "the University of Negroes and Communists;"
That black civil rights activists are really "communists and sex perverts;" and
That gayz are "weak, morally sick wretches."
I'll leave you with the true patriot's classic "Hands" ad from his racist 1990 campaign.
GLAAD is freaked out about nothing again, this time a single statement in a recent episode of Morgan Spurlock's FX series "30 Days." They've released this press release urging FX to correct, counter, or modify a statement made by some Christian conservative douchebag on the show and urging GLAAD Faans to write in and do the same.
The story has been picked up by most of the big gay blogs, with no one bothering to acknowledge that Spurlock and "30 Days" have already proven themselves to be dedicated friends of teh gays who deserve the benefit of the doubt. I haven't seen the whole episode yet, but you can tell from the way they are cutting between the gay couple featured on last night's episode, taking loving and responsible care of their children, and that crazy conservative dipstick spouting nonsense, whose side they are on.
As for that ogress crying at the end of the clip about how her "femininity" was undervalued by her gay parents, well she obviously just needs to crawl back under her bridge and get over it. I repeat: GLAAD SUUCKS.
UPDATE: Dan Savage has seen the episode and concurs with GLAAD on this one. So I'm probably wrong about how deftly the issue is handled by 30 Days. But GLAAD still sucks.
This cute British ad features a gay kiss. It's not really making a pro-gay point, as the man behind the counter is actually the family's "mum" transformed into an authentic NYC deli-man by the power of Heinz' Deli Mayo line of flavored mayos, but it's still got Bill O'Reilly huffing and puffing and loads of British parents complaining.
They are selling these Barack Obama sock monkeys here, although they are currently out of stock.
This is my response: :-O

Yay, the McCain Girls are back! And they are voting like they've never voted before...
Harri Anne Smith might be our new feyvorite candidate for Congress this year (obvz with the exceptions of Scott Kleeb and ultra-pridey Kay Barnes!!!). If elected, this saucy Alabama Republican will stand up to those ingrate middle eastern sheiks AND lower our taxes. Yes, she HATES taxes! And she hates brown people too!
Viva Harri Anne!
Viva Harri Anne!
If Congressional candidate Kay Barnes has her way, then Missouri will become just another state for dancing ethnic drunks in cowboy hats!
Your fey friends are PROUD to announce our first congressional candidate endorsement of 2008!! It's brokeback hottie Scott Kleeb, who is running for the U.S. Senate from the great state of Nebraska. You might remember him from his smoking hot 2006 house campaign. I know I do! We will gladly approve his message...if you know what I mean!!!
