About this chicken sandwich business...

Image
It's not that the CEO of a company has a personal opinion that I don't agree with. For real, going down that road, Dan Cathy insulted not only the GLBT community, but anyone else who isn't married to their first wives. Remember, he boasted about that as the centerpiece of his nefarious self-righteous quote that grew this meme. But that just means that a great amount of people in line today for a fried sandwich are oblivious that he basically thinks you're trash. But whatever. Lots of people who run business are self-righteous loons. Hell, look at the crazy dolt who runs Whole Foods, John Mackey . He's been much more vocal about his opposition to healthcare reform, unions, and all that other Libertarian bullshit, and tons of gay people still sashay around that organomart. What's got me and a ton of others' panties in a knot is the blatant use of company profits and resources to campaign, promote, and insert themselves into the equality debate . Organizat...

Cee U Next Tuesday Award Winner of the Week: Loop de Looper....

Image
This week's Cee U Next Tuesday award for female excellence in the normally male-dominated field of douchebaggery is a two-fer this time. Double your crazy! Marsha Looper (the mulletness to the above left) is a state rep in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She's been pretty much a career-type Repub rep in the house, basing her platform on eminent domain issues and government seizing of property. Pretty innocuous stuff, even bucking the Tancredo-based nuts in her state's party by working with Democrats over worker visa legislation. But it's 2012, and nothing spells you're out of ideas than a good old gaybashing. Colorado attempted to pass civil union legislation - mind you not marriage but O'Doul's-style unions, supported by the current governor John Hickenlooper, but voted down by being trapped in legislative purgatory. Looper, who voted against the bill, is in a primary battle with another state rep , since Colorado's gone under reapportionment of ...

The Tops of 2010: The Pop Side (Part 2)...

Image
Now that I got the ball rolling, here's the second part of my recap of the best of last year's biggest pop hits in the US. #11: B.o.B featuring Bruno Mars - Nothin' On You (from the CD The Adventures Of Bobby Ray ) Hot 100 peak: #1 Money quote: "Beautiful girls all over the world, I could be chasin' but my time would be wastin'" "Nothin' On You" was a double introduction, more so to singer Bruno Mars than to rapper B.o.B. A classic soul chorus and a pleasant romantic rap flow that LL Cool J would kill for today. #12: Enrique Iglesias featuring Pitbull: "I Like It" (from the CD Euphoria ) Hot 100 peak: #4 Money quote: "My girlfriend's downtown and I'm all alone, your boyfriend's on vacation and he doesn't have to know" Who knew it would take the Jersey Shore to reignite Enrique's career? This ode to screwing being your partner's back somehow became a fist-pumping anthem. Pitbull's assist as well...

Story Of The Day...Just Askin'....

Image
Over the past year I've been critical over the Obama administration's neglect over advancement of equal rights for gays and lesbians, whether it be towards marriage equality or protection of GLBT armed forces servcemembers. Last week's State Of The Union address was (perhaps over-) heralded about a turning point, with the statement stuffed in about repealing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that has resulted in thousands of dismissals from all branches of the military. At that time, the Congress (well, the Democratic ones) roared approval, while the Joint Chiefs there sat stoically. I wasn't feeling it. Well, today's hearing with the Senate Armed Services Committee gave reason for hope. While Secretary Robert Gates explained the proposal for a year-long study, which I think has been overstudied, though at least employing top-level brains like General Ham who heads Europe's Army forces. Even better was Admiral Mike Mullen, who gave a heartfel...

Cee U Next Tuesday winner of the week....One Life To Leave...

Image
This week's Cee U Next Tuesday, the woman who excels in the male-dominated field of douchebaggery, is One Life To Live actress (well, former ) Patricia Mauceri. Mauceri was replaced on the soap opera because of her refusal to act or compromise with writers regarding a storyline involving her fictional son coming out of the closet. Her objection? That the mother was portrayed as too sympathetic to her son's condition. Not that she would have to kiss a girl, or do nude scenes, or whatever - just being positive was too much for her , as it would go against her "religious" views. Mauceri says it was those objections that got her fired -- she says her character would not have been accepting. "I did not object to being in a gay story line,” Mauceri said in a statement. “I objected to speaking the truth of what that person, how that person would live and breathe and act in that story line," she said. "And this goes against everything I am, my belief system,...

Cee U Next Tuesday for the week...Mean Girls, grown up...

Today's C-U-N-T, for women's progress in douchebaggery, is Susan "self-righteous pussy" Ruse, for enjoying for Kate Gosselin-esque 15 minutes of fame on CNN to gloat about the killing of Dr. Tiller, with the smug Scarlet-letter face as she pretends to slip with the "Dr. Killer" jab. Lord forbid she offer up any facts. To be clear, even Contessa Brewer sounds reasonable. Keep it up, Susan Fucktard, oh, I mean Ruse , excuse me, and karma may have your daughter (or son's girlfriend) seeking an appointment with a sicko hack with a coat hanger. That wouldn't be right, but that's the world you're pushing these desperate women in. If people like her would expend as much energy trying to help the children that are already born in poverty, this world would be just a little better, eh?
