Our own little "cast"-off

Apparently, George W. Bush voted for Barack Obama today.

Accidentally.

I still hate everyone who ever voted for him in spite of the humor of this (fake) story.

Wonder what she was thinking during this dress-up photo op

Erika Perdue is a 41-year-old Texan socialite who apparently spent every day since '99 amassing an astonishing stockpile of child-porn images, including some documenting toddlers being raped. She's apparently going to try the "I have a weird sex addiction" route, checking herself into therapy while charges make their way through the system that could land her in prison for up to 40 years.

If a single gay man had done the same thing, do you think he would end up getting a similar sentence to what Mrs. Perdue will get, or do you think he would be likely to be treated more harshly?

Michael Berry—above grasping a big mic while perhaps dreaming of a big Mike—is a conservative, anti-gay radio host. But he's also someone who gets into fender benders outside of drag clubs he was just in and leaves the scene, at least according to this report.

Scum of the earth—bashes gays all day on the radio, hangs out out drag shows. (And then, due to his fear of being caught red-handed, leaves the scene of an accident...and refuses to answer for any of it.)

Rick Perry is apparently so gay that the new exposé written about him by a former Texas lawmaker (and out gay man) uses the word "head" twice in the title alone.

Releasing now, Head Figure Head: The Search for the Hidden Life of Rick Perry promises to be a big bombshell in the (homophobic homosexual?) guv's political career. Can't wait to read it, but something tells me already that it'll be a lot more credible than those pathetic Obama bathhouse rumors.

Rick Perry is so fucking stupid it's a crime that he's running a state let alone running for the presidency!

Prove it!

As of midnight last night, it was exactly six years since my first post. It's been a tough thing to keep up with a dayjob and outside activities, and just when I think I might walk away, a valuable connection or interesting opportunity or a kind word comes my way. Thank you all for reading me.

Of whom are you more jealous?

Here are my favorite 100+ posts out of nearly 11,000. Please take some time to read (or re-read!) a couple and tweet or Facebook any you like.
