Anticlimactic primary gorge-athon (aka Super Tuesday) comes to a close. Left feeling … unfulfilled. For conclusion on Dem results I go to the Magic 8 Ball. Outlook cloudy. Ask again later. Did Clinton pull enough ahead? Can Obama make up enough ground to still compete? McCain brought the pain. Is it possible that we might…
In my attempt to keep up with all the supercalifagilistic Super Tuesday action today (Obama’s taken Georgia, Huckabee takes West Virgina) I have been forced to watch cable network news. I generally try to keep cable news viewing to a minimum as it tends to irritate, rather than inform me. (What happened to just-the-facts-ma’am news?…
I am delighted to introduce The Sin City Siren readers to the newest feminist blog in Las Vegas: Neon Feminism. It’s the work of Aisha O’Brien, a journalism student at UNLV. (And perhaps others?) For nearly a year now the little old Siren has been heralded as the only feminist game in town. Frankly, I…
I need a break from those irritating Walmart commercials which show women making all the food for large Super Bowl parties. As if only women would make all the food for a party. As if women wouldn’t want to watch the game. Memo to Walmart: Dudes cook and chicks watch sports (at least at my…
So by now most people have given up on their New Year’s resolutions. Here’s to the quitters! Here’s to the people who are still sticking it out! And here’s to the people who just don’t give a fuck! Enjoy! — E
I wasn’t going to write about the whole NOW-tantrum about the Kennedy endorsement of Obama, but then I read the Minx‘s take and I liked it so much that I thought – what the hell? On the one hand … I generally support and like what NOW is about. They’ve made strides to be more…
I love a good party, especially a costume party and especially one for a good cause! And for this party you get it all! (And yes, everyone has to wear a red dress – even dudes. They’ll stop you at the door and make you buy a dress for $20 if you don’t have one!)
MoveOn is encouraging folks around the nation to host and/or attend Super Tuesday primary parties. It is shaping up to be a legendary presidential campaign season and major victories could be in-hand on Tuesday. Haven’t heard of any parties around here but I encourage you to host one, or go to one. And tell us…
The HRC’s Women’s Empowerment Network (WEN) is hosting a SWAN (Support Women Artists Now) event in Las Vegas on March 29 at the Freakin’ Frog. Those of you who helped with or went to any of the local Fag Bug events last July know that the nascent WEN group was instrumental in helping me coordinate…
It takes a special kind of evil to be able to mock the recently deceased but Fox News radio host John Gibson proved he was just such a troll with his Jan. 22 radio show in which he mocked actor Heath Ledger’s passing with lame Brokeback Mountain jokes. Really? This is what passes as professional…
