“I think that the New York City electorate will always elect the person they feel most connected to and the person they think is most competent and effective.” – Christine Quinn, the openly gay Speaker of the New York City council, when asked if NYC is ready for a gay mayor. Quinn is high on the short list of probable …

I’ll be in recovery from last night’s Body & Soul party for the rest of the week. After a couple of warm-up Manhattans at the Farmboyz’ Upper West Side pied-a-terre, the seven of us cabbed down to Pacha in Hell’s Kitchen to find the Will Call ticket line snaking down 46th Street. Thirty minutes outside, another 30 in the coat …

Above: Condi Rice advising Congress on Bush’s “troop surge”.

During his opening monologue on last night’s SNL, Jake Gyllenhaal nicely skewered his rabid gay following, saying he wanted to send them a “special thank-you.” Then he put on a black bouffant wig, ripped away his suit to reveal a full-length sequined gown and launched into a pretty damn good version of Dreamgirl’s And I Am Telling You.

If you stick a fork into an electrical socket, you get a bit of a buzz. Wasn’t expecting that.

I’ve wrangled a large portion of my posse to attend tomorrow’s Body & Soul party at Pacha. I’ve only been to two Body & Soul parties: the final event and 2004’s Reunion Party.

And this recent hilarity that the tabs are calling “Rosie O’Donald” just reinforces my admiration. But America doesn’t feel the same, apparently. According to today’s Editor & Publisher, Gallup polls show that Rosie has a 63% unfavorable rating from …

If you’ve never had a cigarette, the first one gets you kinda high. Wasn’t expecting that.

A northern Mexican state approved gay unions yesterday. Coahuila, population 2.3 million, borders Texas and hosts hundreds of maquiladoras, factories set up by U.S. companies to exploit the cheap local labor pool. Crazy. It’s just about the last place in this hemisphere that I’d expect to approve gay unions. Today Coahuila, tomorrow Oaxaca!

Yesterday’s open thread made me snap this pic of Miss Lee’s establishment on East 60th Street near Bloomingdales. Somebody told me yesterday that visiting a psychic was just as satisfying and therapeutic as seeing a professional therapist. I’d buy that. Hey, are there any psychic therapists? “I predict that it’s all your mother’s fault.”
