Periodic Table of Irrational Nonsense

(Click for bigger. Via This isn't happiness.)

One Last Thing...

I have one last thing to say about losing my job:


Can anyone out there recommend a good breakfast whiskey?

Kraken Mare


A chilly lake of methane, ethane and nitrogen as photographed by NASA's Cassini probe. The first evidence of bodies of liquid on another world.

300 degrees below zero sounds pretty damn cold to me.

  • (PS to the screaming hordes who can't get enough of The Flaming Chef: Guess who's unemployed again? Sometimes you just can't stop people from flushing diamonds down the toilet. I prefer to look on the bright side: This means I have more time to write ...and drink heavily.)

(Now that's a collar. Vice-President of the United States of America (Under Calvin Coolidge): Charles Dawes.)




  • Episcopal Church gets to work drafting a whole new rite for the blessing of gay couples.

  • More layoffs at Focus on the Family. What are those poor unemployed bigots going to do with all that free time? (Via Joe My God.) Without beating a dead horse, I'd like to say one more time: 

"Homophobia is a business, and as much as we are fighting to change the law, we are fighting to make that business model unprofitable."

  • President appears on telly today with the ladies of The View. Stage fright not an issue.


  • Who is Elisabeth Hasselbeck and why is she such an idiot? Try this one on for size: "I think people turn out straight because they're not cute enough to be gay." Does that statement insult straight people? You decide.

7/28/10 Special News Update via Mikey!



The jerk who is running for governor of Florida explains why he hired a homophobic jerk at great taxpayer expense.

You all remember George "Long Stroke" Rekers?

Well, he's the best the republicans can dig up to bash the gays in court. Have a look, he has a go at single mothers too.

(Special hat tip to Wicker Parker.)

7/28/10 Pedicure!


My pedicurist didn't believe me at first so I had to ask twice.

"Yes, I want my toes painted lots of different colors."

I told her I wanted them to look like a bunch of jelly beans.

She did great and my toes feel like candy.

(With special thanks to my Mom who bought me the pedicure. We had a gay old time, didn't we?)
