Michigan and Arizona Primary Open Thread Hootenananny

Here we go! This one is actually going to be good. First we have Arizona, center of the wing-nut universe. Chief of Bat-Shit Crazy, Jan Brewer, has endorsed Mitt Romney and he is in the lead in the latest polls. Unless Rick Santorum can have him deported by a gay deputy, it looks like Mitt will take the delegates.

However, tonight’s main event is clearly the Michigan Primary. Rick is breathing down Mitt’s neck in the hopes of pulling an upset in Romney’s home state. A Santorum victory will rock the Republican establishment’s faith in Mittens and make a general clusterfuck out of the primary race. Please, please, please tell me this will happen. If Santorum pulls this off we can look forward to calls for a brokered convention and The Grand Inquisitor will be one step closer to her dream Palin/Trump Republican ticket. I am already hoarding images for my photoshop file. Bonus points:The Karl Rove hysteria during his Fox commentary tonight will be utterly epic. Continue reading →

Santorum versus Plato on Sex in the Military

I mean, other than Stanley Kubrick.

When Rick Santorum said last week that “any kind of sexual activity has absolutely no place in the military” he gravely offended not only gay service members, but also straight ones who happen to be in relationships, and people who have watched Full Metal Jacket. But did you know that he was also contradicting one of the great founders of Western civilization?

One may be tempted to read Santorum’s statement as merely a deceptive facade of evenhandedness, where the gay-hating audience will get the intended target while everyone else ignores the implications for hetero service members because, really, who would be ridiculous enough to actually believe that? Presumably, the guy who uttered this gem on CNN: Continue reading →

Tuesday Political Sausage

As many of you know, there is a Crasstalk Politics Team that regularly discusses the issues of the day. One of our favorite pastimes is passing around links from the various sites we read on a regular basis. To encourage participation, I’m starting a new series called “Political Sausage” (so named because it’s made up of links, and seeing politics get made isn’t pretty), in which I will gather what I feel are the most entertaining or thought provoking links from around the web and share them with all of you. I encourage discussion, and hope all of you will post your own links as well. Continue reading →

The Snatch Game! RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4 Episode 5

When the queens enter the workroom, Willam immediately claims Madame’s hangers. Madame La Queer has scrawled on the mirror in lipstick: “Chad, Sharon, Milan, Dita = True Friends.” Awww that’s sweet, Madame. It’s a shame you spelled your friend DiDa’s name wrong. Willam says she doesn’t care. Willam, NO1CURR. “It’s a new day,” says Milan. Latrice is feeling good about her win: “America’s next drag superstar will be a big bitch!” As long as she’s you, Latrice, I am all for this. Okay, let’s see what else went down during last night’s episode! Continue reading →
