I’m laughin’
Because I can’t resist the tacky silliness: Sarah Silverman’s fucking Matt Damon: Jimmy Kimmel’s fucking Ben Affleck (with bonus celebs/We Are the World homage): — E
Juno Joy!
Hooray for Diablo Cody winning the Oscar for best original screenplay for Juno! She is the embodiment of my not-so-secret desire to be plucked from writing obscurity and to go on and write a brilliant movie and win an Oscar for best original screenplay. (Hint, hint big Hollywood career-makers.) I vicariously live through Cody and…
Totally shameless
Thank goodness Natalie is on her game because I’m still trying to get this monster out of my lungs. I’ll spare you the snotty details, suffice it to say this is the sickest I’ve been in years. But I’m not too sick to shamelessly promote a funny little political video — made by my very…
Pile ‘o news
News you can use: Sometimes the system works! Federal court over-rules ban on sex toys in Texas. Ladies, start your engines!

Sweetness and light

Call for local female artists
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…
Memo to Fox: Hate is not a family value
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…
