You may recall my review of Hero by Perry Moore last year. I loved the book and thought Moore did a great job writing a smart, gay novel. Now rumor has it that gay super hero Thom Creed might be getting his chance at TV fame. That would be awesome — I would watch it!
My favorite comment from the Defamer post:
“Well there’s no way this superhero will be able to keep his gay identity a secret — he spells his name “THOM” instead of “Tom” for Christ’s sake!”
Wow. Wanna know what’s better for you, Latte vs Macchiato? Minute Made vs Welch’s? Cosmo vs Margarita? The answers might surprise you. Check it out over at Men’s Health Magazine.
Well, he at least like lesbian-themed t-shirts. I must admit, even I kind of find that t-shirt hot. Doesn’t hurt that Studly Studright is wearing it either…
I love the name of this media company: Massive Black. Freaking hilarious. And yet subtle. Well, subtle without the imagery. As Simon Cowell might say: Bloody brilliant!
It’s been 70 days since John McCain (R) has secured the Republican nominee for president and he has yet to wear an American flag lapel pin on any of those days. Not one.
In fact, having gone through all of the 1,340 photos of McCain in the Associated Press photo archive during this presidential race, I have yet to stumble upon a single photo which shows him wearing a flag pin. It might be worth offering a reward to any person who can locate a single McCain in the past year showing him wearing one.
The hypocrisy just grows and grows. As I said before, the Right can’t seem to stop pointing out that Obama must hate America for not wearing a flag pin on his lapel. But when Whitey McWhiterson doesn’t wear one, well then it doesn’t mean anything.
I found the above blog post via Christian Leftist, a fantastic blog written by a young, born again Christian lefty. I’ve been reading through the blog posts and I’m adding it to my RSS feed. Check it out!
I think a weekly series might be in order here at Loganotron. And tonight I’m feeling in the mood for some pics of hot boy booty. And so it is born: Thursday Night Boy Booty. Enjoy.
Orange noted her desire earlier this week for more guys in lace panties. This is about the closest that I could come up with. But come on, he’s wearing fishnet arm-thingers and he has a samurai sword. Dude, how hot is that?!
I was shocked that Cook won. I really thought Archuleta couldn’t be beat. It’s good though, because I think Cook will have a better chance at a career. It was so cute when Cook cried after being told that he won. So so cute.
Check out this video my friend AB sent to me yesterday. The GOP is running it against Kay Barnes in Missouri. It’s pretty annoying. In the commercial, San Francisco values are trashed. They do this by showing a white girl being lured into the debaucherous party lifestyle by two African Americans… gasp! They’re coming for your daughters (the blacks and the liberals from San Francisco).
Those damn San Franciscans and their values: Health care for all, a higher-than-national minimum wage, equality for all, community, environmental responsibility, etc. They’re so out of touch with the country… (note my high levels of sarcasm here).
Update: Kay Barnes has a response which is fantastic:
The opening sequence is wicked retahded. OMG, I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit. Can we just start the singing already?
Stop with the boxing theme. Ugh. I hate it with hate.
Hooray for Clive Davis and Andrew Lloyd Weber!
Round 1: Clive Davis’ Song Choice
David Cook – I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For by U2
Logan Says: His voice sounds a lot like Bono’s. This was a great song choice. Wow. I am loving this song. It’s definitely his own version. Great final note!
Randy Says: Also loved the scoop up of the note at the end. Paula babbles about finding something. Simon says it was phenomenal.
David Archuleta – Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me by Elton John
Logan Says: Did they pick this song for him because they think he might be one of Elton’s kin? His voice is pretty but this song is boring. His eyes are open though. That’s an improvement. He’s definitely more expressive on stage. He’s doing the best he can with a lame song.
Randy Says: One of the best performances of the season. Molten Hot! Paula says her heart is still pounding. Simon says last week was just okay. Tonight’s performance was arguably the best he’s done so far. Simon says Round One goes to Archuleta. Whoa. Simon and I disagree for once.
You may recall that Barack Obama was criticized by some for not wearing a flag pin on his lapel. (He was also accused of not holding his hand over his chest during the national anthem. As it turns out, it’s not customary to hold your hand over your heart for the national anthem. It is, however, customary to do so for the Pledge of Allegiance. Two totally different things.)
As for the flag pin (non)scandal, it turns out that not every candidate wears them all the time. Nor do most elected officials wear them regularly. In fact on the night of Obama’s grilling by the debate moderators, none of the other candidates nor the moderators were wearing the flag pin. Which misses the point anyway, which is: When did it become a requirement for our elected officials to wear a flag pin?
But once you finish listening to these high-minded bloviators — and yes, that includes the voters who have bought into this nonsensical issue — ask yourself: Does it really have anything to do with anything?
I’ve watched this debate reach the levels of absurdity this year because journalists and commentators have raised the question to Sen. Barack Obama, “Why don’t you wear a flag lapel pin?”
I really got a kick out of that one during the ABC debate last month because not one person on stage — Sens. Hillary Clinton and Obama, along with moderators Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos — bothered to accessorize their attire with a flag lapel pin.
Sen. John McCain has been traveling the globe as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and this former Navy pilot often doesn’t wear a flag lapel pin.
Did David Cook ask David Archuleta to dance at Archuleta’s fake prom? How cute… And poor, awkward Archuleta. He should’ve said yes! That would be just about the cutest thing in the world. I’m sure the teeny bopper girls would’ve gone gaga imagining Archuleta and Cook dancing a slow dance together. Of course, good Mormon boys don’t dance with other boys. I don’t think they’re even allowed to dance with girls.
Archuleta Took Fellow ‘Idol’ Finalist Brooke White to His ‘Prom’
The day that 17-year-old “American Idol” finalist David Archuleta was meeting with music legend Neil Diamond was the day that all his school pals were going to their prom in his hometown of Murray, Utah.
But it seems fellow finalist Brooke White helped him ease the pain by being his “date” for the day.
“I spent the day with Brooke, so she’s the one I danced with for my prom day,” he told Pop Tarts after the “Idol” elimination on Wednesday night. “I would have preferred this anyway; it would have been nice to go to prom, but I’m so glad I was here instead. Standing there dancing with Brooke was pretty cool.”
Mind you, Archuleta did get other offers.
“[David] Cook also asked if he could dance with me — that was a little awkward,” he said. “So I said no.”
The reality is that when Democratic candidates run competitively in rural America, they win national elections. And when they get creamed in rural America, they lose. That was Bill Clinton’s reality in winning as it was the reality for Al Gore and John Kerry in narrowly losing.
