Okay, so this one's late. We had a SEGABABA going into the weekend so this was moved to avoid distraction, and again to provide an avenue for us to drown our sorrows with each loss. Still, lots of good links and music, with a special contribution by our resident Fish Man, Hipuks, after the jump. Mood Music How about putting something that Tony Parker will be pleased about? Here's from a French music...
Kirstie Alley is the latest star to sign on for her own unscripted reality series. The show will air on A&E and is expected to chronicle her continuing battle to lose weight while raising two teenagers. The untitled docu-series is expected to run sometime in 2010. "Kirstie is exactly the kind of star A&E is drawn to," an A&E executive tells Variety. "Her personal life has...
We lost in Maine. We won in Kalamazoo and Washington state. Openly lesbian Annise Parker is in a run-off for mayor of Houston. So, things could be worse. As in all things political, we won some and we lost some. I think though, that there is room for hope. Despite the fact that Maine voted 53 to 47 to repeal same-sex marriage, on the University of Maine- Orono campus the results are telling: 81% No,...
James Lewis writes of the rush to enact kamikaze legislation. Our “progressives” take the long view. If they get laws enacted and bureaucracy entrenched, which matter that they lose power again? Their opposition will be unable to reverse most of the “reforms,” and when the pendulum of power swings again, they will simply pick up [...]

Some news from the streets of Minneapolis yesterday... The night before the election Councilmember Robert Lilligren's campaign did a lit drop of the entire ward. The next day Mayor Rybak and Councilmember Lilligren went out doorknocking and found that the lit was all gone in some neighborhoods. At this point Minneapolis developer Basim Sabri, recently in the news for getting out of prison after serving...
We can just skip the whole background section, right? To many, Lopez's improvement as a hitter is a sign of things to come. To others, Lopez is a decent but by no means extraordinary bat that is approaching a plateau. Figuring out which it is will be of considerable importance as the Zduriencik front office works to move the team forward. So: is Jose Lopez turning into the guy a lot of people thought...
. "Happy" by Leona Lewis . Someone once told me that you have to choose What you win or lose You can't have everything Don't you take chances You might feel the pain Don't you love in vain Cause love won't set you free I could stand by the side And watch this life pass me by So unhappy But safe as could be . So what if it hurts me? So what if I break down? So what if this world just throws...
Sometimes, if a word is used over and over again in the wrong way, it starts to lose its meaning. Take the word "guys," for example. It's now completely normal to say, "hey guys," to a group of people, even if there isn't a man in sight. It's a verbal tic that feels comfortable and gets an intention across, even if it's technically wrong. Yesterday, the Washington Times added to...
To Win, Avoid Gay Inc Help; Houston's Lesbian Parker Top Vote-Getter We gays suffered another in an endless string of ballot prop losses tonight. The defeat in Maine, which from my San Francisco perch, sure looks like a reply with same idiots on both sides running the same show I saw with Prop 8. For our side, the same Gay Inc orgs were the national partners to Maine's effort. Here's the list of honored...
An interesting slate of runoff races for December 12th. Interesting because it features more At Large races than district races ... not the least of which are the top two offices in the city. Mayor Annise Parker Gene Locke Controller...
Roy Morales gets over 20% of the vote. That is a shocker. The man is clueless. Absolutely clueless and yet 20% of the voters want him as Mayor. Clue-frickin-less. Peter Brown is in third place. After spending $3.2 Million of his wife's money, he is going to have a very long long Christmas season coming in 3rd place. How can you lose after spending $3.2 Million? Or come in 3rd. Kudus to the voters of...
