The Issues: April 2008 Archives


Let's hear this fellow out.

pot_book_page-thumb.jpgThis exciting new kid's book, "It's Just a Plant: A Children's Story About Marijuana" is a great way to let your kids know that IT IS OKAY that his or her parents are stoned on pot all the time. It will definitely come in handy when me and JMZZ get around to making a couple of butt babies.

Speaking of which, I hope "It's Just Poppers" is the next title in the series!

This is HUGE news: Jason Beghe, who was my fourth biggest crush when I was twelve, is NO LONGER A SCIENTOLOGIST! That's right, he has broken free, and in the process he has MADE HISTORY: He is the first MAJOR CELEBRITY to break from the Church to LIVE TO TELL about it!

He's definitely older now, and his sexy cowboy rasp has deteriorated into more of an emphysemic Harvey Fierstein/Ron Leibman gargle, but he's still Beghe to me.

Unfortunately, not one of Beghe's most amazing performances -- his sexy paraplegic in "Monkey Shines," his sexy Park Ranger on an episode of "The X-Files", his sexy military BF for Matt on "Melrose Place", where he got to act alongside our very own Mommy Thorne-Smith -- is available on YouTube. The best I could come up with was THIS CLIP from "Home Alone 4".

Welcome back, Beghe!


This AIDS-awareness webseries "In the Moment" is reasonably well produced, acted, and written, as PSA webisodes go. I mean, it's at least twenty times better than QuarterLife. But it is still worth watching primarily to make fun of the embarrassingly "fierce" faggotiness of the dialogue.

Some dialogue highlights from the first ep: "Who's thirty and dirty?!" "Whore!" "I'm Edgar. You're hot." "And Mike gets discounts with his senior citizen card." "Woof."

The most realistic--and haunting--thing about this video is the terrifying sexual avidity of Edgar's gaze. The guy who checked my groceries at the Wegman's on Santa Monica Blvd used to fix me with an identical (and identically creepy) sexual stare.

Also: is "Woof" making a comeback or something? I thought that expression died in the early 80s, along with all the men who ever used it. Moreover, isn't "Woof" like a come-on or catcall to be used on passers-by, not on ALREADY INTIMATE ACQUAINTANCES? LOL.

Last thing: Why is it that when people type on their laptops in bad movies or TV shows (or, I guess, WEBISODES) they always TYPE SO HARD?

Thumbnail image for mccaingirls.jpgIn case this is the only website you read (that is, in case you are my mother) I thought I should break the news here that The McCain Girls were, indeed, just messing around. According to HuffPo, they are the products of comedy site 23/6 and are in no way actual John McCain supporters.

Now that the truth is out, it's kinda funny how little funny there is leftover.

Oh well. Maybe La Pequena is working on something right now.
AfterElton's blog put up this Top 10 list of songs about gay men written or performed by straight musicians. The list kicks off with this amazing -- and amazingly FEY, in every sense of the word -- Rod Stewart track, called "The Killing of Georgie, Pt. 1 & 2".
McCainGaySweater.jpgHere at FeyFriends we have been waiting with (mastur)bated breath for STUD DADDY PUNDIT Cliff Schecter's new book slamming Grandma John Mccain-- and Cliff has not disappointed!  We've long grown accustomed to Cliff's masculine and authoritative rhetorical style on the chat circuit, but were truly unprepared for the hunky journalistic swordsmanship that his new book reveals.  In THE REAL MCCAIN, Schecter bares a strapping, hairy-chested brand of reportage that left everyone at Fey headquarters red-faced and breathless.  Also, it turns out that John McCain thinks women are cunts!  (I wonder if he knows that Laura Bush KILLED someone!?)

According to Schecter's book:
Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.

Not only is this dropping of the cunt-bomb misogynist and mean to good-time wife CINDY-- whose pill-thieving ways would make her a hit at any fey soiree-- it's also clearly HOMOPHOBIC!  As someone who routinely wears at least half an inch of foundation, I am offended and will not be voting for Mr. John Mccain!
