Sure they Republican presidential hopefuls are mostly a bunch of oldies now, but they used to be young. Let’s jump in the time machine and see what they looked like when they were more youthful. Continue reading
I assume you’ve been paying close attention to Rick Santorum’s rhetoric. If you’re not, then jeez, this must be a really boring political season for you. But if you are paying attention, then you know that Rick Santorum says things, and that the things he says, they mean things, other things, important things. Republicans seem to agree: Santorum is a good speaker, which is important in a President, unless that President is Barack Obama, in which case good speaking skills only prove what a strange, dangerous Other he is.

“This is only the beginning. Much love, The Princess,” reads the lipstick on the mirror. Whut? Points for using an altered RuPaul lyric, I guess. DiDa wipes the message away, explaining that she was angry that the judges weren’t seeing her for her. She says she channeled that anger into her lip-synch. Twitter was aflame last week with people praising her lip-synch, but I still feel it was way too over-the-top. Chad asks Sharon how she’s feeling about her second win. “I’m proud of myself. I showed up here thinking I’d probably be the first one home,” Ms. Needles answers. Phi Phi looks on with full stankface.

Happy Mardi Gras! In New Orleans and other Carnival-celebrating cities, today is a daylong party. By the time this posts, I’ll already be walking the avenue — my group and I are hitting the street (and the bottle) at 7:30 in the morning.
But for everyone who’s having just another Tuesday, I put together a primer on some of the omnipresent songs of Carnival in New Orleans. They never get old, and I hope they bring the Carnival spirit to wherever you are. Continue reading
