Here’s a happy singalong for your festive Friday! Even I know the tune to this one. Now, everybody! Follow the bouncing crack pipe!SUPERTELEVANGELISTIC SEX-AND-DRUGS PSYCHOSIS (Lyrics by M. Spaff Sumsion)I used to be a master of the anti-gay crusadeUntil a butch disaster blew my pastor masqueradeBut if it’s true I’m pounding more than pulpits, don’t blame meIt’s ’cause I caught …

Last night on Larry King, Bill Maher outed Republican National Chairman Ken Mehlman (pictured, singing along to the cast album of Gypsy, in his closet). Yawn. Old news, Bill. But King professed to have never heard about Mehlman. King: I never heard that. I’m walking around in a fog. I never…Ken Mehlman? I never heard that. But the question is… …

It’s all whole new ball game. Go ahead. Celebrate..

I don’t think my heart can take any more good news, I really don’t. Seriously, nobody has to get me anything for xmas this year, I’m good. Maybe for next xmas, too. If somebody would just out Karl Rove today, there would be a small explosion in Manhattan, which would be my head. UPDATE: As contrast to today’s jubilation, consider …

Florida Homo-Elect Charlie Crist, celebrates. The closeted Repub guv-to-be said, “Tonight we all came together as one, just like like that time at the Folsom after-party!” Executive offices are quickly being redecorated in Tallahassee as local paint stores report a run on aubergine, eggshell and seafoam. Crist has already begun cruising for Florida’s Director of Homeland Security. “No fats, no …

Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), my Congresswoman when I lived in San Francisco, is expected to become our first female Speaker of the House. Two heartbeats away from the presidency, a San Francisco liberal Democrat will be running Congress. We could be looking at an entirely female-led government, cum 2008. And I for one, welcome our new overlord.

Garsh, Mr. Santorum, I’m so sorry to post this picture of your family at this terrible time, but I was fucking my dog just now and I sorta lost my head. (Photo via Chris Glass.)

Who’s a happy country then? Yes, you are! Yes, you are! Biscuits for everybody. Montana, Virginia, your biscuits are pending. Arizona, you get all the biscuits you want. UPDATE: Montana, Virgina: Your biscuit buffet is now open.

It sure ain’t Santorum!!! CBS News just called it. Santorum has lost. (Begins happy dance.)

I think I may just make myself sick from worrying about this damn election. I can’t remember when I have stressed and plotzed like this. It sure ain’t helping my aching back, that’s for sure. And on THAT topic, a little note to the Duane Reade drugstore at 72nd & 1st: Why, oh WHY do you stock the back pain …

While in Maine last month, I met artist Joel Seah, part of whose work Yankee Queer (above) recasts the images and messages sent to him by men on Manhunt.net. Seah’s man-moths, complete with lurid species names directly taken from their emails to him (Partyan Dplay, Whiteon Lyplease), are fascinating. Joel is an Assistant Professor of Art, Printmaking and Drawing at …

After seeing last week’s post about the late Marlin Beach Hotel, a reader sent me this scan of one of the hotel’s postcards, circa 1960’s, before the place turned gay. (Embiggen makey pretty.) You can see the windows into the pool that I mentioned. The text on the back of the postcard reads: “The Marlin Beach Hotel – This is …

This morning I voted for the third year in a row at the Jewish senior center on the end of my block. As usual, the place was a confusing madhouse of directional signs and vigorously waving old ladies. They get quite anxious if you slow the process or walk aimlessly once you get your booth assignment. “This way! This way! …

From last night’s Simpsons episode, Treehouse Of Horror, 2006. Another typically Simpsonian dig on the Bush regime.

I got this shot last week on my lunch hour, which I occasionally spend in Bryant Park across from this, the W.R. Grace Building on 42nd Street. Designed by Gordon Bunshaft, the 50-story Grace is a virtual double of the Solow Building on 57th Street, another Bunshaft creation. It may be a bit difficult to detect at this front-on angle, …

“If Haggard’s unblinking congregation could sit and listen to such a liturgical Liberace week after week and not realize they were in the presence of someone who makes Barry Manilow in a full-length mink look butch, they really need to recalibrate their ability to detect prescription-strength doses of flamboyance.” – Betty Bowers, “America’s Best Christian”. Read the rest of Betty’s …

9:00 AM – Reads New Testament. Focuses on parts about redemption. Tries not to think about sweaty mansex. 9:15 AM – Does huge bump of tina. Alphabetizes CD collection .

According to today’s NYTimes graphic, tomorrow’s election is still impossible to call, regarding the possible return of the Senate to Democratic control. The House of Representatives appears to be securely moving to the Democratic side. Visit the Times site for a neat navigable-by-state assessment of all the races.

I’ve had to put comment moderation on, for the moment, as I’m getting slammed with a couple of hundred spam comments a day for the last few days. Their number has been steadily increasing for the last few weeks. I can’t figure out their purpose, as all of the multiple links in each spam comment appear to be nonworking. Additionally, …

Bah. Nothing like an entire weekend spent curled into a fetal position. I threw my back out at noon on Saturday while leaning across my desk to clean my computer screen. I never wreck my back doing normal back-wrecking things like moving furniture. No, I throw my back out by kicking my neighbor’s Sunday Times out of the way on …
