Sludge Report

The picture above is the headline from the Drudge Report last night. It's pandering, race-baiting journalism at it's worst. Not only does it turn out that Clinton didn't ask Meeks to dropout (Charlie Crist did), but also the implication that it would have had anything to do with race is a flat out lie.

Meeks is polling around 15% and Clinton and the Democrats are afraid that Meeks and Crist will split the vote, thus allowing Tea Party candidate Marco Rubio to win. If Meeks were white or purple or even green (which is very in these days) the Dems would still be pushing for him to drop out. It's a slimy game, and making everything about race only make it slimier.

Drudge, you're a douche.

On a slightly less slimy note, we're en route Atlantic City for the "Out in AC" Halloween event with Margaret Cho, Sandra Bernhard and Perez Hilton. Got any questions you want us to ask the ladies?

Have a happy Halloween everyone!

By George I Think He's Almost Got It

Laura Bush reveals what George has been doing in his free time since being Mr. President. Be sure to watch until the end where she mentions his favorite game on the iPad. If he had only been playing years ago it probably would've helped him through some muffled speeches...

What Should I Do?

Check out this really smart, insightful commercial by Lebron James just released for the NBA season, which tips-off tonight. To think all he did was switch teams and it left him in this kind of profound existential flux. Good thing I never made it to the NBA...

Juan Williams, Lance Bass, Terrorism and K-Mart

NPR fired Juan Williams today after comments he made to Bill O'Reilly after the whole View walk-off last week. The whole thing is layered with tremendous irony because if you've ever seen Juan before he is a rare voice of reason (regardless of the network) and FoxNews specifically brings him on to balance things out with all the right-wingers. I guess his left-wingness just isn't lefty enough for NPR anymore.

Basically, he he was fired for saying when he sees people in "Muslim garb" on a plane that he gets nervous. I'm not defending the statement, however as someone in NYC who is constantly told "if you see something, say something." it does make me wonder what "something" qualifies as, and what are the repercussions of actually saying something.

It all reminded me of the one time I saw something and said something. And not only did I see something and say something, I also made a YouTube video out of it...

New York State of Mind

Having that "2:30 feeling" that they talk about in the 5 Hour Energy commercials? This video from last night's NY gubernatorial debate ought to perk you up a bit. And no, I don't know why the candidate from the "Rent is Too Damn High" party is wearing gloves, although that will be the least of your questions...

Comic Book Guy Concludes: "Best Simpsons Intro, Ever."

I needn't even comment.

The View from Backstage

The View went bonkers this morning. My faves Whoopi and Joy even spent part of this Bill O'Rielly interview backstage. I believe that's a first in all my View-ing of the show. (Sorry.)

Enjoy..

You Are Awesome

Our #GayisAwesome campaign on Twitter really blew up and I'm genuinely humbled and in awe of the response we got out of it. I'm gonna ride these good vibes for at least a week for sure. If you need some good vibes for yourself, feel free to borrow some cause there are plenty to go around. If you weren't part of the action (shame on you), you can check out this video we put up and click here to see the live feed...
