Glee Spoiler: Bullies & Burnett

Stay out out OUT of the comments if you haven’t seen tonight’s surprise and tear-laden episode. Otherwise dive in and dish the many unexpected developments. Yes, Glee is corny, over the top, and often unbelievable. But I believe it is changing the minds of millions of American teenagers. I don’t see how it can’t be. Now hand me another tissue.

As a follow-up to yesterday’s subway flasher post, go read what Jezebel has dug up about an entire subculture of repulsive men who share their “flashing exploits” online. I have to wonder how much the advent of cellphone cameras is thwarting these bozos. A lot, we hope.

Italy’s Garbage Crisis Worsens

Garbage hasn’t been collected for weeks in Naples and blame is being directed towards Italy’s prime minister.

HomoConQuotable – Kevin DuJan

“Today’s going to be the last day of revving them all up…and then the fun is really going to begin because all of these people are on record howling about how unfair it is that Bristol Palin had an army dialing and voting for her…but none of these people say boo about Democrats having an army of ACORN, SEIU, Black …

GOProud’s presence at this year’s CPAC conference ruffled a few feathers among the teabaggers, who as we saw yesterday largely regard GOProud as an “inauthentic” Tea Party group.

PhoboQuotable – Cardinal Francis George

“Everyone has a right to marry, but no one has the right to change the nature of marriage.
