If Kay Bailey Hutchison retires, Rep. Henry Bonilla has said he will run for Senate.

Could Democrats take his seat? I remember he used to have very close races before DeLay jiggered with the maps. Is his district still winnable? Who represented the district before Bonilla? I still can't get those stupid boots of his out of my head. The ones he wore on the Daily Show. What an ass.

I know that we aren't just supposed to post links, but I'm laughing so hard my sides hurt. You just have to read this. It's about the 1 year anniversary of the infamous Super Bowl halftime show.

You can tell that the Onion is good because so many idiots believe that these stories are true. One example is their story from the late 90's about the plans to bring the gay agenda into schools. So many fundies use that article as part of their "proof" of how evil gays are.

Daigle has been mentioned in a few diaries. He was running for a seat in Louisiana's house,he has years of lobbying experience and childrens' health care experience, and he would have been the state's first gay legislator. He came in third, and that means he missed the runoff. Some here said he was probably going to win -- do you know what happened? Do you know anything about Juan LaFonta, the man who got the most votes, or Michael McKenna, who narrowly edged out Daigle? I hope it wasn't because people were against his being gay.

Carolyn Payne Lomax is just beside herself. Why, this grand lady of the South was sitting in her home and heard people "butchering" her trees. Those people had never gone near her shrubbery before without asking her first. She asked them to stop. Those people, those non-white people, they MOCKED her, and not even in English! So she did what any rational Republican would do -- she pulled out her pistol and she fired 3 shots at them! Of course, they weren't injured, so no big deal. She called the cops to report trespassing. Imagine her horror when she was arrested for firing her gun. Why, her lawyer was not even consulted before they indicted her.

Tom DeLay will help her out, I'm sure. He hates those Mexicans just as much as she does.

There's a special election for the Louisiana legislature today and I want to see if Chris Daigle wins. If he does he will be the first homosexual to serve in the legislature and he's very experienced. They could use some new faces. Where would I go to see the returns? What time do the polls close?

Have any of you heard any buzz about this race, or who might win? I know that Human Rights Campaign endorsed Daigle. Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund doesn't seem to be involved.

The College Republicans of course, some of the most homophobic, racist, sexist brownshirts in the Republican Party. They want to have a Straight Pride Week. I hope that OK students just ignore this. This is clearly an attempt to get attention and to encourage the public to jeer, beat and murder even more homosexuals.

Isn't every week Straight Pride Week?

The American Counseling Association rarely expels members, but they recently admitted that they tossed Richard Cohen a few years back. Cohen is a big ex-gay activist and he is president of the vile group PFOX (Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays; Regina Griggs, who also runs the group, has a son who is gay and very happy, she must just pretend that he's going to "go straight" soon). If you want to see his type of vile therapy, go to Ex Gay Watch or here. Ex Gay Watch is an invaluable resource and the fundie groups are always trying to discredit it. I hope you keep the site in mind.

Cordelia died at age 76. Her brother Richard runs the Scaife Mellon Foundation, which funds the most virulently racist, bigoted, homophobic groups around the world. I think they are also behind the current upheaval in the Episcopal Church.

Was Cordelia a winger too? Or was she not involved in social issues? I hope that he isn't going to go even crazier now that she's gone.

You may have seen Smallville, all about Clark Kent being played by an actor 10 years too old for the role who spends time with other teenagers who look 10 years too old for their roles. Tonite's ep was about Clark being brainwashed into getting married. They teased viewers about the 2 having sex but then they never did. Chloe, one of his friends, said she lost her cherry to a bow-tied Daily Planet reporter (Jimmy Olsen's ears are burning) and she regretted it. At the end, Chloe gave a long lecture on the horrors of teen sex. Then they gave a number to a hotline. I didn't get the number but it was a teen pregnancy group, so it may have been theocrats in disguise. Read More

I have way too much spyware on my computer but I don't really seem to have a way to get it off. I thought about downloading Stopzilla, but I don't see anything on their site which tells you they will get rid of the spyware you currently have. Will they do that? Are there any free services which will get rid of the spyware you currently have? Or anything else better than Stopzilla?

I was flipping through the channels tonight and somehow fell on Faux News. Faux News Watch, to be specific. To my surprise, they had 2 liberal/moderate panelists (Neal Gabler and Jane Hall) along with 2 wingers. The two liberal/moderates were slightly inept, but were given equal time and rebutted most of the talking points tossed their way. Gabler (who is adorable -- is he married? Or gay? He's so immaculately groomed in a way most straight pundits aren't) even said flat-out that the media coverage of Bush's inauguration was horribly biased in favor of the GOP.

When was the last time anyone dared to say that on CNN or NBC or MSNBC? And not get shouted down in a Hannity-lite fashion? Even on that horrible Beltway show, Gollum-like Mort Kandracke said that we shouldn't overturn Roe vs. Wade. Can you imagine Chris Matthews saying that?

Have we gotten to the point where the media has become so right-wing that Faux News somehow seems moderate? Or did I just catch them on a good night?

On Friday (and repeated early Sunday morning) CSPAN ran a post-comedy inaugural show which was paid for by The Hotline. Most of the participants were abysmal (that media whore Wonkette stammered, couldn't look the audience in the eye, and could only get laughs when she talked about Kerry's cock -- Marsha Blackburn got 5 times more laughs than she did), but the absolute best was Brian Baird, Washington Congressman (he represents the place Wicked Witch of Washington Linda Smith used to lord over -- at least they have better taste now).
