CHRISTMAS MUSIC ON THE RADIO

I love Christmas music probably more than most of you ... you should see my collection! But I love it only in a very distinct time window. [See below.]

Dallas' KVIL-FM asked for my input about Christmas Music and I gave it to them:

Playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving worked in 2001 ONLY! There was a very good reason for it THAT YEAR ONLY! Thanks to whoever thought of doing it!
But the last few years KVIL-FM has appeared to enjoy PISSING OFF listeners with early Christmas music. You've even used the same grumpy phone call several times and in years after the original year she called!
How about doing the old-timey thing and gradually increasing the Christmas Music/per hour starting the day after Thanksgiving and ending with the Grand Finale of all Christmas music Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!

Based on a message at the end of the survey they have no intentions to listening to me: Don't be surprised if they start Christmas music 11/14/08. PLUS: that's the day I could win a Christmas Sock Gift for participating in the survey. WHAT!?

Texas State Fair Deep Fried Food and Pickled Quail Eggs

We've heard all about the fried foods at state fairs ... yes, I ate the chicken-fried bacon at this year's Texas State Fair [and my arteries are clogging as we read].
Back in Kansas City I had seen pickled chicken eggs in huge jars back behind the bar ... only in Olathe, KS straight bars, I might add ... but had never eaten them.
Well, Oma's Pickled Quail Eggs caught my eye and since they are lots smaller than chicken eggs I decided to try them. [I ate (raw) Quail Egg Shooters at a sushi restaurant, so why not?]
Instant review: BORING! Those poor little Texas quail are shooting out all those eggs for naught ... in my opinion.

When Men Leave Women For Another Man

NORTH TX WEATHER, MEDIA METEOROLIGISTS AND IKE

Even though I'm a weather geek, I certainly don't envy the local weather men/women here in North Texas.
The impending doom of IKE was certain reason for our friends south of us to evacuate and the damage it did to Houston, Galveston, Beaumont and other cities bears that out.
Now that we've seen IKE pass Dallas by, the non-stop coverage on at least one Dallas TV station [Channel 8] today now seems fruitless! [But, dang it, I would've loved to have been there is the thick of it!]
But there was also some humor to be found. While Houston/Galveston/Beaumont were being told to evacuate or die ... us North Texans were told this: Due to the potential of heavy rain and high winds, local residents should be reminded to secure lawn furniture, potted plants and garbageroll carts.
LOL! I secured my potted plants and went to a birthday party.

What!? A Gay Cardinal? I Thought They Were Just Red

Potential saint's burial site hints at gay pastUpon his death in 1890, Cardinal John Henry Newman asked to be buried next to his longtime friend and housemate, Ambrose St. John, fueling speculation that the two men may have been lovers. Today, Newman is a candidate for sainthood, and some activists are opposing the Vatican's desire to move his remains to a more public venue, according to this article. TIME (8/28)

Gay Rich Dweebs Endorse The Old Guy

Who else would they endorse?

What about Palin's gaydar-pinging husband?
IMHO ... he's not the straightest board in the shed.

McCain gets Log Cabin's nodSaying Sen. John McCain is an "inclusive Republican," Log Cabin Republicans has endorsed his presidential bid. The endorsement comes despite the GOP's official platform, which advocates a constitutional amendment to restrict marriage rights. Log Cabin spokesman Scott Tucker said, "To be honest, the platform was not the hill we were going to die on. We wanted to be here and participate in the conversation." McCain is on record opposing marriage rights for gays and lesbians, but has expressed strong opposition to a federal constitutional ban. CQ Today (9/2) , CNN (9/3)

DO NOT READ THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS TECH BLOG

Apparently nowadays major newspapers including The Dallas Morning News publish information [at least on their blogs] based on unverified information found in blogger-drivel.

Case in point:
Do not buy the 3G iPhone
http://techblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/08/do-not-buy-the-3g-iphone.html

Why This? Because We Can!

When I first read about this on The Dallas Morning News Tech blog [link below] I thought: why would people like you and me need this link http://www.criminalsearches.com/?
School districts, businesses and such should use this, but us?
So I tested it. I put my own name in and found that "there ain't nothin' on me" in the database. (Oh, good. Those school zone speeding tickets from 1986 are no longer there!)
Then I keyed in the name of a former boyfriend and found stuff that ... makes me glad he's out of my life.

MORE "PREG MAN" BULL

Again: Beatie is a FEMALE as long as that person has the internal organs of a female no matter what that person did to alter that person's external appearance!
Again: this LESBIAN couple are nothing more than a "circus freak show" and a huge embarassment to me and all other gay people.
Activists: Trans man's pregnancy did little to help causeThe "media circus" surrounding Thomas Beatie, the pregnant trans man who gave birth to a girl on June 29, has done little to help the transgender community in its effort to gain equal workplace and health care rights, according to an article in Salon. "The best thing that Thomas Beatie can do for the trans community is live his life as honestly as he can, and worry about what his immediate neighbors think of him, and how successful he is in his local community," said transgender policy adviser Jamison Green. "If people go back to accepting him as a man, that would be a big plus." Salon (7/3) , CBC.ca (7/4)

Now That They're Retired ... They Say This

Implementer of "don't ask, don't tell" says policy doesn't work A new study by four retired military officers has concluded that Congress should repeal the military gay ban because out gay and lesbian soldiers pose little or no threat to the nation's preparedness for war. The report from the Michael D. Palm Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara, was co-authored by retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Robert Minter Alexander, a Republican who in 1993 took part in a Defense Department panel that helped implement the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Google/Associated Press (7/7)

Kenny Loggins' VS Kenny Rogers' Face Work

Cheyenne Jackson ... Keep An Eye Out For Him

Of course, he has a website [http://www.cheyennejackson.com/] and this is what I posted there:

Cheyenne, when you appeared during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade "Xanadu" number last November, I thought, "I know that handsome man from somewhere." I don't live in New York City [but I've visited there twice].

Then last night on The Tony's "Xanadu" number, there you were again and I went back through that thought process again.

Plainly said, Cheyenne: of course, I don't know you. However, I'm certain I'm not the only one who wishes I were friends with such a beautifully handsome man.

Greek islanders want to be LesbiansThree natives of the Greek island of Lesbos are suing to prevent the gay-rights group Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece from using the word "lesbian" in their name because, they say, it "insults the identity" of islanders. One plaintiff, Dimitris Lambrou, said, "Our geographical designation has been usurped by certain ladies who have no connection whatsoever with Lesbos." MSNBC/Associated Press (4/30)

Mario Lopez Makes Debut On Broadway in ...

... A CHORUS LINE

There's basically only one role he can play in the spirit of the script: the gay Latino boy two or three from the right in the movie version [and on stage, I think].

Come on out, Mario!
