ANN-MARGRET'S EMMY?

I don't care about the Oscars much less the Emmy's. Nor have I ever seen the Law And Order. But I am constantly fascinated by Ann-Marget.



Legendary singer/dancer/actress Ann-Margret wasn’t sure she heard a voice mail message correctly when the Emmy nominations were recently announced. During a recent chat with the press, she admitted, "I didn’t even know that the nominations were coming out that particular day. A friend of mine who lives in New York called, at 6:30 in the morning and I was bleary eyed."

BUN I'VIEWED FOR WINDY CITY TIMES

Lady Bunny is the founder of Wigstock and an inspiration to many men who have donned a dress. Now she brings her knowledge to Drag U to school some new students.

Windy City Times: Hi, Bunion. I just discovered you're from Tennessee!

Lady Bunny: I am. I grew up in Chattanooga.

WCT: Wow. I grew up in Hendersonville.

LB: Well, at least we made it out!

WCT: I think when I first moved to Chicago, I saw you at a bar named Foxy's—which is now called Spin Nightclub—doing an Yma Sumac song.

LB: Yes, that was, uh, several, decades and waist sizes ago. Or shall I say girdle sizes…

WCT: So I just watched the first episode of Drag U. That looked like a blast to make. How was that?

LB: Oh, filming it was a hoot. The celebrity guests were people like Chaka Khan … and I loved all of the special guests, but Chaka Khan is special to me, so getting to work and hang out with her was magic. I have to say I'm not really the biggest reality TV fan, but I've changed. I think the one thing it was missing was me! And, Jerry, the other thing I've learned that it was slightly different from Drag Race because there's still an element of competition, but the drag queens, as you know, are making over real women. Some of them have lost touch with their inner diva because of personal tragedy.

Getting to know these women's stories, I have to say, I have a new respect for women. Because these women sacrifice everything … I mean, gay men and drag queens, we often live alone, we're not scrimping and saving and working two jobs to put our kids through school. These gals really go through a lot. It's easy to see how someone may not have the time or inclination to worry about their appearance.

WCT: And sometimes gay men have bad self-esteem, and we can relate to these women.

LB: Well, yeah, but I don't think most gay men are familiar with what an average woman's life is like. We're pretty self-centered. We're not nurturing like a mom who is constantly making sacrifices.

FROM LIFEHACKER.COM: How to Rebuild Your Attention Span and Focus

Most people who click on this article won't finish reading it. So says Nick Carr. The New York Times will remind you that you'll probably forget it in a few minutes. This idea's so prevalent, even the Onion has started taking jabs.

There's some truth to it. Posts like this and search trends point to what we're after. Many people want the ability to focus more and feel like they're losing the ability to focus on a particular task for long periods of time. We feel like we're losing that ability. Getting Things Done and all the other books out there tend to give you some rituals to cope with the problem — but only if you could stick to them. Most of us, just a few weeks after reading that book, sit next to filing cabinets (virtual or otherwise) and go about our merry way.

That's because we're focused on the wrong thing. To get a longer attention span — even a span long enough to read this article — don't worry about managing the information. Worry about managing your attention. Paying attention, for long periods of time, is a form of endurance athleticism. Like running a marathon, it requires practice and training to get the most out of it. It is as much Twitter's fault that you have a short attention span as it is your closet's fault it doesn't have any running shoes in it. If you want the ability to focus on things for a long period of time, you need attention fitness.

SO ILL!

THE BARTENDER SAYS

Straight teens are trying that sinful sodomy in increasing numbers. This christian site spills the beans that it's painful. DUH! That's why God invented poppers!

FROM CHRISTWIRE:

SODOMY IS NEVER THE ANSWER

One of the growing tragedies we have in the United States is the new popularity of sodomy during intercourse. Ever since the homosexual lifestyle became so visible and popular, straight couples have been tempted to experiment with this incredibly painful fornication situation. Now, to avoid pregnancy more and more teen girls are giving in to peer pressure and trying this extreme hardcore sexual perversionary act. Sadly, many people today are unaware that sodomy is Biblically immoral and that it’s extremely unclean and unhealthy.

Sodomy can trace its origins to the homosexual world. Gays have always been keenly fascinated in violating themselves in perverse, anti-Christian ways. Whether it’s destroying marriage or turning good-natured boys into transvestites, they have no self-control when it comes to depravity.

ALL ABOUT EVIL

Peaches Christ's film ALL ABOUT EVIL will be screened in NYC on 7/30 and 7/31 so check out the work of this San Fran queen. Famous for her Midnight Mass screenings at The Castro, I became enamored of her work when she petitioned the city of 'Frisco to name something after then president George W. Bush--a sewage plant. ...How genius! And even better? The city rejected the joke dedication because they wanted NOTHING named after that turd!

Her proposal:

An Enduring Legacy


As we near the end of George W Bush’s presidency, we think it is important to select a fitting monument to this president’s work. On matters ranging from foreign relations to fiscal and environmental stewardship,
no other president in American history has accomplished so much in such
a short time. To honor George W Bush for his eight years of honorable
public service, the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco
is sponsoring a ballot initiative this November in San Francisco. It
reads…


“Should the City and County of San Francisco rename the Oceanside Wastewater
Treatment Facility the George W. Bush Sewage Plant?”

We believe this is an appropriate honor for a truly unique president. If you think
so too, join this grassroots movement to rename this important and
iconic landmark in his honor.

KEITH OLBERMANN ON SHIRLEY SHERROD

THIS SPECIAL COMMENT IS AMAZING. I'm not exactly a history buff so the initial Devil's Island stuff lost me, but give him a second to get to this insane Shirley Sherrod case. It really sums up how pitiful both parties, our media and even the NAACP are. How could the NAACP call for her to resign? The NAACP? We are living in backward times and I beg you to watch a man who wants to sift through the junk which masquerades as news. Yesterday, the cover story of the NY Post was a large pic of Lindsay Lohan in her prison garb. And how she looked pretty in orange. If that's important news to you when this country is literally upside down, then YOU are the problem with this country.

And I agree with David Corn: Obama is "spineless" for allowing her to be fired because he was scared that proven liar Glenn Beck as going run a "scandal" piece on a non-scandal. No true leader could be afraid of an ass like Glenn Beck.

I HEREBY REFUDIATE SARAH PALIN.

The dunce queen has done it again. Twice. In the article below she makes a geographical goof while campaigning for a New Hampshire republican candidate. Wait! If she loves politics so much, why did she quit her as governor of Alaska half-way through her first term? Oh, that's right. To make more $ with a book, public speaker, Fox "news" and a reality show. This woman truly does sum up the cheapness of our times.

And she's recently made up a word: refudiate. It's really not such a damnable mistake--refute and repudiate sound alike and have similar meanings. But after blogs snickered about her using the non-existent word, what does she do? Laugh off her mistake? Say I was always better at geography--uh, I mean any subject other than...any other subject? No, this fool actually compares her mistake to Shakespeare's use of made-up words! Darlin', you couldn't name one book or magazine you'd read when asked on a national news show during your campaign to lead the country. You're an idiot! Anyone who likes you is an idiot!

CHRISTIE BRINKLEY HAS BEEN RAPED!

Actually, it's a dog named Christie Brinkley.

FROM NBC MIAMI:



An Aventura man has been accused of having sex with Christie Brinkley, his Great Dane dog who shares a name with the iconic blond swimsuit supermodel.

An employee at Armand Pacher's veterinarian's office turned him in to police after the 64-year-old former insurance executive aroused suspicion with comments on the phone about having sex with his dog, reports the Miami Herald.

Then a veterinarian examined Christie Brinkley some time later at the clinic and reported her body showed evidence of forced sexual activity that could not have come from another dog.

"She doesn't seem to enjoy it as much when we have sex," Pacher allegedly replied when the staffer asked about Christie Brinkley's overall health while rescheduling eye surgery, according to the arrest report. "Maybe it's because I haven't been as energetic lately and that's why she's not enjoying it."

Or maybe it's because she's a dog.

GOODBYE, POLAND!

I'm preparing to leave Warsaw after a 3-day visit. My travel companion on the return flight is none other than Amanda Lepore, a fascinating creature who I never get enough of. I just hope that she'll veer away from discussing politics once in awhile. What can I say? It's her passion!

Before arriving, I took it upon myself to prepare for my trip by memorizing several polish phrases like "Hello", "Thank you" and "How much?" But I was surprised to find how easy a language it was to pick up. Within a short time, I'd learned even more useful phrases like "The mental hospital is that way", "Don't eat out of that dog's bowl", "Please don't smear feces on yourself while I'm eating" and "Madame, you know good and well that your son's ass hasn't fetched a price above 5 euros since he was 3 years old." I'll miss this zany land!

For the few locals who spoke english their one burning question was: Do you know Murray Hill? Apparently, he has many kinfolk here.

I'm in Poland watching CNN International, where the irritating UK correspondent Richard Quest still has his own show and is featured prominently on other shows. I have to applaud CNN on their guts. I have no problem with kink myself, but many networks might frown on one of their employees getting caught by police in Central Park awhile ago with a harness connecting a collar to his testicles and a dildo in his boot! When approached by police, that thing was so off that it offered enthusiastically "I have meth!" and produced a baggie. And we thought Anderson Cooper was gay!

America has never been closer to passing the comprehensive climate and energy legislation we need to help end our addiction to oil and curb global warming.

But even as we continue to see heartbreaking images of damage to the Gulf coast, powerful special interests are spending millions of dollars blocking this legislation and fighting to protect the status quo. Stalling climate and energy legislation would be a big win for oil companies like BP, but a huge loss for the rest of us.

Fortunately, there's one thing we have that big oil doesn't: the support of millions of people. A majority of Americans support clean energy legislation, and millions have been mobilized like never before by the tragedy in the Gulf coast. As we enter the crucial stage of the best chance we've ever had for real climate and energy legislation, we need to make our voices heard.

SHOCKERS FROM HUFFPO

I love how it's not even shocking that this article only deals with "America's deadliest sweetener"--omitting less deadly but still lethal other ones.

America's Deadliest Sweetener Betrays Millions, Then Hoodwinks You With Name Change by Dr. Joesph Mercola

Aspartame is the most controversial food additive in history, and its approval for use in food was the most contested in FDA history. In the end, the artificial sweetener was approved, not on scientific grounds, but rather because of strong political and financial pressure. After all, aspartame was previously listed by the Pentagon as a biochemical warfare agent!

It's hard to believe such a chemical would be allowed into the food supply, but it was, and it has been wreaking silent havoc with people's health for the past 30 years.

The truth is, it should never have been released onto the market, and allowing it to remain in the food chain is seriously hurting people -- no matter how many times you rebrand it under fancy new names.

Gulf Oil Spill: Scientists Beg For A Chance To Take Basic Measurements by Dan Froomkin

A group of independent scientists, frustrated and dumbfounded by the continued lack of the most basic data about the 77-day-old BP oil disaster, has put together a crash project intended to definitively measure how much oil has spilled and where and how it is spreading throughout the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

An all-star team of top oceanographers, chemists, engineers and other scientists could be ready to head out to the well site on two fully-equipped research vessels on about a week's notice. But they need to get the go-ahead -- and about $8.4 million -- from BP or the federal government or both. And that does not appear imminent.

SEXY RUSSIAN AD

THIS 4TH OF JULY SHOULD HAVE BEEN CANCELLED

July 4th is the day we commemorate achieving independence from England. Ironically, our dependence on oil has caused our government to ignore safety regulations applied to BP, a British offshore drilling operation, and as a result we’re facing the worst environmental disaster in our history. BP refused to stop spraying the dispersants on the oil spill after our government told it to. The reason BP wanted to use the dispersant is that by definition, it disperses the oil and makes the amount spilled harder to measure, thereby reducing the corporation's future fines based upon the amount of crude spilled.

How can BP, a foreign corporation, can get away with telling our government to fuck off because they’re going to spray dispersants if they want to? And while Obama claims that he’s ultimately responsible for the disaster, he isn’t prosecuting this criminal corporation for destroying US territory. I don’t see any outrage from the government that clean up crews are getting ill from exposure to the oil. (Kinda like the 9/11 clean up workers who were lied to about their jobs’ safety?) Nor any outrage that an environmental group has donated respirators to minimize the effects of the oil’s toxicity on the crews, but BP fires workers for wearing these FREE respirators. (Presumably, the respirators will prove that the clean up is dangerous, making BP liable to future lawsuits.) I also don’t see Obama dedicating the manpower to make sure that the booms to contain the oil are even used properly.

But the president has plenty of manpower to deploy to Afghanistan. And Congress just appropriated $30 billion more to the war budget even though the number of Al Quaeda who we went there to fight is now down to “double digits, if any” according to General Petraeus. Let’s use 99 as the highest double digit figure and divide that into $30 billion—that’s $303 million per terrorist who may not even be there! We need to understand that we don’t want to win this war in Afghanistan. Trillions of dollars of precious minerals have been discovered there. We aren’t leaving. I want the soldiers who think that they’re fighting to keep our country safe to know that they’re actually committing suicide so that whoever gets these mineral contracts can get rich.

After voting for the Afghanistan funds, Congress then went on summer recess without extending unemployment benefits. Even though jobless rates are higher than any time since the 1930s! By the time lawmakers return, 2 million Americans’ benefits will simply stop. The president should declare this a national emergency and cancel Congress’s vacation! In the meantime, be on the lookout for a whole lot of new beggars.

I don’t have enough room here to go on about the horrors currently going on. But if you aren’t concerned about the current state of affairs in this country, you’re no patriot. And if your love for this nation is confined to waving a stupid flag one day a year and you aren’t ready to pitch in and help get us back on track, by the next 4th of July you’ll be lucky if you can afford a hot dog. Fortunately, you’ll still be able to enjoy the fireworks even if a foreclosure has rendered you homeless.

BEAT THE HEAT: SAFETY TIPS FOR REPUBLICANS

Step up your exercise regime.

Dressing in heavy layers will cool you by wicking off sweat.
...
If you're off work, today is perfect for catching up on ironing. After doing laundry. Mildew can be such a problem in the summer that running your dryers on high for an extra cycle will eliminate this risk.

A day off from work gives you the perfect opportunity to ensure that your heaters are working properly so that any kinks can be worked out well in advance. And chilly winter temperatures are right around the corner!

Check in on elderly relatives and monitor their heating closely, 90 degrees being the ideal temperature. Though it may seem hot to you, older folks' poor circulation can give them chills even in the warmest weather. Heavy blankets can also help guard against pneumonia.

Under no circumstances should you operate your air conditioners as they'll stress out the power grid.

Hydrate frequently. With plenty of hot beverages.


Eat refrigerated dishes like egg and potato salad which require a lot of
boiling. Of course, these go perfectly with whatever you like to grill.
Indoor grilling is all the rage this summer.

Have left over fireworks? Throw them directly onto the flames after cooking and gather the family around the grill to enjoy. Those silly safety regulations are lies perpetrated by the same liberal commies who want to take your guns away.



Now you have a happy 5th!

TODAY'S CUTENESS AWARD GOES TO...

WOULD YOU CALL THESE MULES?

$30 BILLION MORE GOES TO....AFGHANISTAN!

CONGRESS CAN PASS THIS CRAP, BUT NOT EXTEND UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS?

The Al Quaeda that we are supposedly fighting in Afghanistan have left. According to General Petraeus the # of Al Quaeda in that country are in the double digits if any! We can't win this! What would a win even be--considering that we're fighting a phantom enemy who left?

We're building schools over there as state-fund...ed summer schools HERE don't have enough funding here to operate this year. Huge corporations are getting rich off of this war and taxpayers are paying $30 billion to allow them to do so. How does this not bother you? Do you like paying taxes to build schools in Afghanistan? How many more bad economic years will we endure before we revolt against this crap and realize that the government isn't serving us? They are robbing us!

We sit back and support $30 billion more for this sh(t? Money aside, do we not care anymore about the soldiers who will die for nothing? NOTHING EXCEPT KEEPING THE MILITARY/INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX ALIVE. They'll gladly sacrifice soldiers' lives to keep their profits coming in. I'd rather see the soldiers cleaning up oil in the gulf.

Congress can appropriate $30 billion for this hoax and then leave for summer vacation. By the time they return, 2 million people's unemployment benefits will have expired. I say we're in a crisis so force them to work throughout the summer. And sorry Obama, allotting $30 billion to and appointing a hawk like Petraeus to keep this hollow war going is not change I can believe in. Nor is allowing these unemployment benefits expire. What are these 2 million people supposed to do? Beg in the f#cking streets? America is becoming a very ugly place. Or maybe I'm just realizing how ugly it's always been.

A STONEWALL VETERAN MISSES THE PARADE

NY TIMES:



At noon on Sunday, thousands of marchers filled Fifth Avenue for New York City’s annual gay pride parade. Nearly six miles away, on the sixth floor of a nursing home in Brooklyn, the frail, white-haired woman in beige pajamas and brown slippers in Room 609 sat motionless at the edge of her bed, staring out her window.

She touched the medallion on her necklace — an image of St. Jude, the patron saint of lost causes — and fiddled with one of her rings.

“This one,” she said of the ring on a pinky finger, “I hit a guy so hard I knocked the stone out, and I hadn’t gotten around to put it back yet.”

She had forgotten that the gay pride march was Sunday. Her mind and her memory are not as sharp as her wit and her tongue. She said she had been living there, at the Oxford Nursing Home, for years (she arrived in April). She was not sure how old she was (she will be 90 in December).

The woman in Room 609, Storme DeLarverie, has dementia. She is but one anonymous elderly New Yorker in a city with thousands upon thousands of them. And many of those who marched down Fifth Avenue on Sunday would be hard pressed to realize that this little old lady — once the cross-dressing M.C. of a group of drag-queen performers, once a fiercely protective (and pistol-packing) bouncer in the city’s lesbian bars — was one of the reasons they were marching.

Ms. DeLarverie fought the police in 1969 at the historic riot at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village that kicked off the gay rights movement. The first gay pride parade in 1970 was not a parade at all but a protest marking the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall uprising.

HOLLYWOOD'S 1ST DRAG QUEEN

I'd never heard of this queen until her birthday, which was yesterday. Meet Jean Malin!

SHARRON'S RETARDED ANGLE

After Sarah Palin made her well-received initial speech and was hailed as the savior of the GOP, she was interviewed by journalists who proved to the nation that Sarah was a complete moron by asking her "tough" questions like what newspapers and mags she read. To lessen the sting to Palin's rep and place the blame on t...he media, a new term was created: gotcha media. This refers to reporters who ask questions intending to trick you. In the case of Palin, that wasn't hard to do.

Since quitting political office halfway through her term, Palin has remained an influential political figure by avoiding gotcha media and weighing in directly to her followers via twitter and facebook.



Now a new dunce queen of the republican/tea party (what's the difference?) has emerged: Sharron Angle of Nevada. After initially granting interviews only to Fox and other conservative news outlets, she has finally allowed herself to be challenged by a real reporter. Even before this her views were alarming--she actually wants to bring back prohibition IN NEVADA, HOME OF LAS VEGAS? Dream on, honey.

But now the gotcha media has Sharron on record claiming that the jobless are spoiled, that the separation of church and state is not in the Constitution and that abortion should be legal under no circumstances. Even if a youngster is raped and impregnated by her father, this fool claims that since she's a christian, we should "have a little faith"! Have a little faith that what, you idiot? That god is going to intervene and abort the child himself? That the child forced to carry her dad's baby won't be, a la Precious, scarred for life? That the baby won't develop any of the symptoms associated with
inbreeding, which Sharron looks as if she might be a victim of?

I beg you to watch this clip and observe how truly freaky and dangerous the republican party can be. Of course, every party has it's wacky outer fringes with ideas that would seem cuckoo to mainstream America, but Sharron is a tea-partier republican. She's not that far off from the mainstream republican agenda--she's just too stupid to hide the fact that she, like many other republicans, want to abolish social security.

Perhaps the sickest thing of all is that while this reporter is reducing her arguments to mud, she maintains a twisted smile. Every time they cut to a clip in which she knows good and well she's said something which will seem bizarre to most people, she maintains that demented smile. Unless she is a complete simpleton, which I'm not ruling out, I imagine that she's been coached by her handlers to stay sunny no matter what. To her followers who are unable or don't even care to understand basic issues, her unfailing smile will make it seem like the gotcha media is crucifying this nice, christian woman in a pretty blue jacket. I guess it comforts them that she's not an elite capable of defending her outlandish positions. In the way that Bush's speech impediment comforted morons who couldn't pronounce nuclear themselves.

And for a little perspective, may I remind you that Sharron won the republican primary after the former republican front runner was universally reviled for her suggestion that we barter chickens for health care as in the olden days.
