The Issues: March 2008 Archives
This German PSA is the creepiest depiction of childhood sexual abuse since Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

Aren't feys cute when they're mad? They've even got high-pro homos pitching in...like Dan Savage and Army Maupy!
Happy Friday!
So I'm not quite sure when we got into the political endorsement game here at FeyFriends, but the Hillary Clinton thing was obviously decided at some PNP koffee klatsch to which i was not invited. Well unlike Bobo, I am totally an Obama supporter (although of the mildest variety!!) and today I would like to address the topic of "Barack Obama's Mean Priest."
You may or may not have heard that Barack Obama goes to one of those funny giant churches in a football stadium where a disagreeable priest occasionally says "mean" (true) things about America. Well everyone is freaking out about it and I don't understand! For one thing, shouldn't people be happy Obama is Christian? Just a month ago every old person on Earth was taking time out of his/her busy insurance-milking hobby to freak out that Obama was a sinister Muslim and maybe even a sleeper agent for Al Qaeda, Saddam Hussein (they have the same name) or Louis Farrakhan of the Million Mom March. Well now we know he is Christian and I have not heard apologies from any of the 1,000 grandmas who forwarded me e-mails about Obama's muslimnity. Instead they are now fowarding me e-mails about his PRIEST! Well, well, well! Now Obama has a priest! So which is it? Terrorist or American?
Politics is getting so confusing to me! Last time I checked it was PATRIOTIC to be a Christian. So how can a PRIEST be unpatriotic? Especially when heis the head priest of one of those big stadium churches where they have trapezes and hot dogs and clowns and AMERICAN FLAGS? I thought that was what patriots LIKED? Call me old fashioned!
The reason? This video...

“Pillow Angels” are an exciting designer breed of child—like human puggles!—that has been around since 2004, when it was engineered by the parents of a brain-damaged girl known in the press as “Ashley.”
These delightful little beings will stay delightful and little forever because, in order to maximize their portability and devotion to their caretakers, their mommies and daddies have injected them with estrogen and removed their breast buds and uteri. On their blog, Ashley’s parents write: “We call her our Pillow Angel since she is so sweet and stays right where we place her—usually on a pillow.” Adorable!
The ethics debate sparked by the “Ashley treatment” rages on (perhaps fed by the suicide of the doctor who performed it). The latest—an interview with the parents—can be found on CNN.
Just look at those trustworthy faces! Surely all this time that Kristol and Will and Novak have been running their mouths about Obama's "Kennedyesque" qualities and his graceful nonpartisanship, they've been motivated by authentic admiration and not by an ulterior motive to fix the election to their liking. Right?Oops! According to THIS absolutely essential Wayne Barrett piece in the Voice, we were wrong to trust those Republican loyalists after all! Turns out they've always been more afraid of a Clinton faceoff, all along. WHOOPSIE POOPSIE!
And, if their reaction to Obama's slightly premature apparent victory last month is any indication, once they get Obama alone in the general, they plan to unsheath their claws and commence ripping that paper tiger to shreds...
Fey are evil, blood-sucking creatures who try to pass off as faeries and fail horribly. Unlike sidhes (who are tall, graceful, and beautiful!), fey are stubby, short, and have mutated, leathery bat-like wings. Not quite the fashion statement of the year. The fey come from the faerie plane to terrorize the citizens of Alyria. How can YOU keep yourself from becoming their morsel, or even worse, their minion?Self-defense tips here...
So you're sitting at home watching some porn when suddenly A MAN BURSTS IN WITH A SWORD!!!!!

Allen is very persuasive, citing such diverse and thoughtful examples as the success of "Grey's Anatomy", the popularity of Barack Obama, and the mismanaged debacle that is Hillary Clinton's "stupidest" campaign for the White House, to support her argument that women are merely "children of a larger growth."
Now, I know there are plenty of women and women-sympathizers out there who are going to resent Ms. Allen for letting the cat out of the bag -- some of them are already flinging feces at her good name over at HuffPo -- but I for one am grateful that she broke the silence.
Moreover, there's no need for ladies to (stupidly, natch) get their panties in a bunch. As Ms. Allen so wisely counsels her sisters in stupidity:
"Relax, enjoy the innate abilities most of us possess (as well as the ones fewer of us possess) and revel in the things most important to life at which nearly all of us excel: tenderness toward children and men and the weak and the ability to make a house a home."Hey....that's actually some pretty clever advice, coming from a Stupid Idiot LadyFace!
FEY ALERT: SUZANNE SUGARBAKER NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!
Television star, beauty queen, COMPULSIVE HOARDER and interior designer/businesswoman, Suzanne Sugarbaker-- aka Dixie Carter Delta Burke-- needs your help! Entertainment Tonight reports that the TV legend is out of the mental hospital (where she was alarmed to learn that there weren't any mirrors!!!) and, as usual, she's feeling a little blue. So television's Mary Hart is sponsoring a special emergency Suzanne Sugarbaker E-Mail Relief drive, where we the fans can send the STAR our special e-letters of support.
Come on, Feyfriends! Who among us hasn't felt a little EXHAUSTED from time to time? Who among us hasn't needed/wanted to be rescued from a dangerous Xanax-and-Diet-Coke binge by television's MAJOR DAD? And most importantly: who among us hasn't spent many smiling hours glued to DESIGNING WOMEN on the Lifetime Network? (My favorite episode is the one where Suzanne loses her extravagant jewels IN the salad bar.)
Well now we can finally pay back the woman who brought us all that love and laughter. Let's all flap our wings together and send our special wishes to Ms. Potts! To participate in Mary Hart's e-mail drive, click HERE. I know you can do it!!
