Apparently, a Black man can’t wear a hoodie in Congress either. At least he didn’t get shot.

No John Edwards Sex Tape

Thank goodness! The John Edwards sex tape — the one he made with his mistress and campaign videographer — will suffer the same fate as Edwards’ political career. It will be destroyed. Let’s hope no copies were made, and that one less of these things will be making the rounds online.

Whitney Traffic

Weird. I haven’t posted anything about Whitney Houston’s death. I have an unfinished post that may go up soon, but that’s it. Still, I just peeked at my stats and discovered this 2008 post about Whitney House and Amy Winehouse … Continue reading →

Two CPAC Disappointments

terrance — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:00:00 +0000

I came away from CPAC a little disappointed yesterday, for two reasons:

I missed the dating seminar, which would have been entertaining, if nothing else.
With GOProud gone, I couldn’t find any gay people to hang out with — even gay right-wingers would have been bright spot.

On the up side, it looks like I may be partying with gay, Republican presidential candidate Fred Karger tonight.

Bah, Humbug. Here’s My iPhone 3G

OK. I plead guilty to this When I got my iPhone 4, I gave Parker my old iPhone 3G (with parental controls in place, phone service deactivated, everything restored to factory settings, history wiped clean, and internet access and the App Store on lockdown) to play games on, etc. But does that make me a “Scrooge”? Puh-leeze. An eight-year-old needs the latest iPhone?

Feeling Bookish

It’s happening again. I’m getting that “I’ve got a book in me, if I can make time to write it,” feeling. Of course, that “if” is the big, and the deciding, factor.

There Is Too Such a Thing as Bisexuality

terrance — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 16:38:47 +0000

I was never one of those who claim “there’s no such thing as bisexuality.” I’ve known too many bisexuals to buy that the “don’t exist.” So, I’m not surprised that a study now indicates there is too such a thing as bisexuality. In men, that is.

Kate, Cancelled

Apparently, it’s hard to build a successful television show around someone who’s (a) unlikeable and (b) had no discernible talent beyond reproducing.

The POTUS To Tweet?

terrance — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 14:51:46 +0000

It’s not that I don’t trust the guy, and maybe the whole Weinergate thing has me a little gun shy, but am I the only who thinks Obama tweeting for himself may not be the best idea?

Iron Lady Crushes Palin

terrance — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 17:19:45 +0000

I’m no fan of Margaret Thatcher, by any stretch, but she gets a nod of respect from me for telling Sarah Palin “Don’t bother dropping by.” I guess Ms. Thatcher doesn’t regret she’ll be unable to lunch with Sarah. They don’t call her the “Iron Lady” for nothing.
