Another fine photoshop and post from Lulu Maude. Check out her blog here.
You have to admire Michael Mukasey’s academic integrity on the question of whether waterboarding can be defined as a form of torture.
Mukasey has dodged the questions of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the practice, saying that he doesn’t have the security clearance for [...]

I just had a time-lurch while reading Liquid Daddy. He was talking about the 80s and T.J. Hooker, which he’d initially assumed was a parody of a cop show, and his realization that it was dead serious, that TV programming was social programming, etc. etc., and suddenly, there I was, back in Laguna Beach, watering [...]

The story occupied the front page of the Sunday Times, along with a photo and an elaborate diagram. The photo was of an adorable woman cuddling her granddaughter. The diagram, which looked like a free market version of Dante’s Circles of Hell, described the intricate corporate relationships that held all parties responsible for her [...]

A funny thing happened on the way to writing this blog.
 
I went to an auction.
 
I have a friend, a fairly new but solid friend, who has leukemia. This is heartbreaking. What an incredible person she is–a theologian who turned me on to Jesus of the Week, a woman who can glimpse the wink in the [...]

 
Having entered his request for the withdrawal of his guilty plea in Minneapolis, Senator Larry Craig unveiled evidence of his commitment to stay out of harm’s way in his flying future.
“I have taken steps to steer clear of police stings by purchasing a bit of technology which will, I think, keep me out of hot [...]

I’m just a little girl, three and a half.
The man came over to my mommy and me. He shook my mommy’s hand and told her he wanted her vote. She turned to sand.
Then he stooped down to talk to me. Whoops. Brrrmp. He made a stinky-wind. I wanted to laugh, but I was afraid.
“What’s your [...]

Oh dear oh dear oh dear… Now Larry Craig is looking into restoring his glorious Senate career, hoping to slime his way out of the potty-naughty he was headed into, and these estimable people on his right are attempting to guard that august legislative and deliberative body from his presence.
I am sure that Larry conducted [...]

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) shouldn’t expect to quiz former White House Counsel Harriet Miers at the Senate Judiciary Committee anytime soon.
The spunky lass, who once referred to President George W. Bush as “the most brilliant man I have ever known” has been seen riding air drafts over Texas hill country, home of the convent which [...]

By now Sen. Larry Craig must have announced his resignation. What a hellish education he’s received this week. The party to which he’s given his allegiance for his entire career has tossed him ought like so much rotten fruit. (Puns be damned!) The gay blogosphere has had lots of jokes at his expense. He’s persona [...]

I’m feeling sorry for Alberto Gonzales’s mama, of all people.
She must have been so proud to see ‘Berto rise to the top of his profession, to be seen chumming it up with the President of the United States.
Now he’s served up, little cherry that he is, on the top of a big, fluffy White House [...]

When I was a 14-year old twit, my best friend and I began to mimic the affectations of the stuffed shirts who regularly got As on their Latin tests as we hunched in the back, hoping not to be called on.
“Ah, books!” Doug would exclaim, imitating Dennis Ryan’s owlish stare of superiority.
“Ah, [...]

My heart is heavy today. It’s bad enough to have lost Molly Ivins earlier this year. Now Grace Paley has departed the planet, or rejoined it, depending on your point of view. I can only hope a child’s being born to carry on.
If you have never read a short story (or twenty) by Grace Paley, [...]

His boxers soiled, his romance in tatters, his office promised to a really dumb intern, Karl ponders his future and polishes his past with two sympathetic suitors.
KARL: He’s so much smarter than you guys even know. He’s really well read. And he can play the organ.
LIEBERMAN: Yes, we have sat and discussed the fine points [...]

Gee–it’s just like they say at the Oscars… there’s no more meaningful praise than that from one’s peers. I am simply overcome by the kind words and support from Pursey, Woody, Bobby, and Lola. It’s inspiring, to say the least.
As you may know, I’m not a screenwriter… just a humble blogger and maybe-novelista. I’m sure [...]

As I mentioned in my recent schmooze-post, I have become very fond of Pursey Tutweiler, over at Live at the Gay Agenda. I am also fond of her fellow bloggers and am a real fan of them all, so this “artwork” raises real conflict in me.
Lola, of course, can’t bear to see this done to [...]
