Oh boy Sarah...say it ain't so! This woman is amazing. Not in a good way though. Recently, David Letterman made a joke about her daughter that was in poor taste. It happens. When your family (The Palins) are such a joke themselves...it's going to happen. The joke Letterman made involved one of Sarah Palin's daughters (he insists it's the 18 year old squeaky clean Bristol) and sex with an older man.
Of course the fame mongering Palin camp jumped all over this comment and is dragging it on and on and on and on. On an appearance on the Today Show this morning...she was firing back at Letterman in a way that we all know Palin for. Her comments invoked the spirit of the 'Conservative' base that she is trying to appeal to (like your unwed pregnant daughter was a good role model and Christian). She blamed Hollywood for allowing the exploitation of young girls and that Letterman's comment (and other like it) are the cause for low self-esteem in young girls. What?? Oh come on Sarah. She then went on to say that (this is paraphrasing) 'she would not want her daughter in the same room as Letterman'. When asked if she (Palin) thought that Letterman would make a sexual move on her daughter and if Letterman is attracted to young girls...she basically said 'take what you want from that statement'. What?? This is someone in our government?
What is troubling is that the recent LOSS in the election (yup...Sarah caused that one) last year...didn't seem to teach this hateful woman anything. She is using the same tactic she used for Obama when she tried to call him a terrorist. She's using it now to call Letterman a rapist of young girls. Listen to the interview below. She does sound smarter than she did a year ago...but it soon falls apart when Matt Lauer goes 'off script'. Sarah just needs to stick to her Alaska politics and stay out of the public. I'm amazed that this woman gets elected over and over. Then again...the US elected Bush how many times?
Ronnie Kroell is the hottie that almost won top prize on the first season of 'Make Me a Supermodel'. He not only is pretty hot, but he's a smart guy too. On the series he struck up a friendship with a male straight contestant (that was a prison guard back home). Ronnie not only shows how far the gay community has come by growing this friendship, but he shows us that there are many out there that support the gays. There are 3 parts to the interview below.
Here's a piece of the interview (interveiwers Mark and Fausto from the Feast of Fun show have a ball).
Not only did Dustin Lance Black win the Academy Award for Milk (see previous post), but Oprah loved the story! Dustin was recently on the Oprah show and was interviewed via satellite. Love the exposure Dustin is getting for all the gays out there. Keep it up Dustin and thank you so much for all you do. If you haven't seen Milk...go see it NOW! It's a powerful movie and will definitely motivate you. Again...we need a Federal initiative for gay marriage, just like Dustin says.
Well we all wish the movie Milk would have won Best Picture...but the movie managed to pull a few big wins. Sean Penn won the Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of Harvey Milk. Even with his reputation of being extremely difficult to work with...his speech was great and heart-felt. Way to go Sean.
Milk also managed to snag the 'Best Original Screenplay'. Dustin Lance Black was the winner and had a powerful speech. It couldn't have been said any better in such a short speech. Congratulations Dustin!
I love Dustin's comment that the gay marriage rights will come 'soon' and will be Federal. That is what our community needs. FEDERAL marriage rights. The process of going state-by-state is not the right way to move. This issue is a human rights issue and should not be left in each state's hands. Imagine if we left slavery in the hands of each state. How many states do you think would still have it on their books? Scary to think about.
Jon Stewart talked with Mike Huckabee about Gay Marriage. Jon totally has out backs and made some GREAT points in this interview. I totally love the "Religion is more of a choice than being gay is' statement. That is toally 100% correct. I'm very impressed at Jon's technique and he makes his point very clear. He supports gay marriage. Check out the clip-
This video holds a special message to ALL MEN. Check your balls. It's very important to become familiar with the shape and feel of your balls and to do regular self examinations of them. Testicular cancer is a serious disease and can be cured if caught early. This video was meant to show you how important it is to do self examinations of your balls...but I can't help to be very turned on by it. I'd gladly help these guys with their exams!
