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.)

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! …
