90% of People Don’t Know the Moon is Made of Cheese!

As you can see from the following Venn diagram the intersection of Conservatives and Truth, Reason and Logic is well… non-existent. What is the source of data which supports this diagram? Oh, well, see I took a page from the Neocon playbook and I just made it up. See how is easy it is to …

An Open Letter to President-Elect Obama

Dear Mr. President:
First, let me congratulate you on your win. It was historic, not only as a victory for African Americans (as the MSM seems determined to solely define it), but as a victory for all Americans who have ever been marginalized in any way. I know that race, as a topic, has been both …

8:00: Still 52%, but offically too close to call. And now I get to face the throngs of people who refuse to understand why my enthusiasm over an Obama win is tempered by my disappointment that to an America busy congratulating itself on its enlightenment “all men were created equal” still doesn’t include me.
4:00: 52% …

10:00pm
Obama’s win seems a forgone conclusion. I’m going to sign off for an hour, have another beer and wait for the CA polls to close to find out about Prop 8. I’ll be back if I can still type. Oh, and by the way, one more time, an Obama win doesn’t guarantee life gets any …

I’ve fortified myself with ice cream and beer, and still I can’t stop worrying.
The poll results are still too preliminary to tell who will win the presidency, however I think it’s looking more and more (with only 1% of polls nationally reporting) that if Obama does win, it won’t be the landslide some were …

5 Things to Help You Get Through Today

I have the distinction of being employed by a company that had the bright idea to hold our biggest event of the year the day after the national elections; therefore I will not be regularly contributing to Flaming Politics Election Day coverage until later this evening.
However, I imagine that many of you, along with …

My President, My Self?

I was all set to sit down and pound out an inspiring post on why Barack Obama will be receiving my vote for President of the United States of America when suddenly I was seized by a horrible case of angst that manifested itself in a raging case of writer’s block. Don’t get me wrong, …

Milton Lindgren, 70, and Eric Hendricks, 73 of Indianapolis were found bludgeoned to death in their home following months of anti-gay harrassment. The Indianapolis police have yet to label it a hate crime, though the couple had reported the earlier harassment which included having their cable and phone lines cut and epithets being left on …

Manhunt Hits the Mainstream

Apparently, I’ve officially become Flaming Politics’s Special Correspondent on Gay Sex Sites, which is ironic considering the fact that I ain’t getting any (but I digress). Chelsea Handler’s night-time talk show “Chelsea Lately” on E! (note the non-ironic exclamation point. The . Gayest . Punctuation . Mark . EVER!!!) covered the possibly coincidental (yeah, I’m …

Haider’s Hypocrisy in Life and Death

The UK’s Daily Mail today revealed that Austria’s Far-Right Wing-Nut Jörg Haider spent the hour before his recent high speed drunken car accident which claimed his life, imbibing in the “notorious” (whatever that means) gay club, Stadtkraemer. Apparently Austria’s answer to David Dukes, despite being married and having children, was notorious in his own right, …

Wall Street Bottoms (and Likes It!)

Wall Street Bottoms
Manhunt just keeps making headlines. After the brouhaha of Manhunt founder Larry Brasile donating money to the McCain campaign, I didn’t think we’d be hearing much about the hook-up website in the mainstream media. Oh, how wrong I was.
The New York Press has an interesting article today that notes that on September 29th, …

Bush Administration Funds Ugandan Anti-Gay Attack Squads

One would hope in this day and age that the United States of America would not help fund dangerously violent homophobic groups in other countries.  I’m not claiming that the Bush Administration is providing funds to these groups for the express purpose of killing gays and lesbians, but rather the US government is doing nothing …
