McCain does the decent thing

McCain was booed by his own supporters today when he described the Barack Obamat as a "decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of."

The boo's became even madder with shouts of at "traitor," "terrorist," "treason," "liar," and even "off with his head"

"If you want a fight, we will fight," McCain said. "But we will be respectful. I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments."

Again they boo'd

"I don't mean that has to reduce your ferocity," he said. "I just mean to say you have to be respectful."

Here's a typical exchange

"I don't trust Obama," a woman said. "I have read about him. He's an Arab."

McCain shook his head and replied:

"No, ma'am. He's a decent, family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with (him) on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign is all about."

Perhaps the old stoat does have a sense of honor left - even if his #1 objective is to get the Whitehouse moved to Boca Raton

My Day

There have been those recently who've said to me "Hey, it's all well and good you talking about politics in a naiive and slightly stupid fashion but what about the details of your 'life after certain death'"

So for those people and those people alone here are the last 24 hrs or so of my life.

Drove home from work at a steady 75mph, avoiding the speed traps and feeling a little blinded by the unseasonable Michigan sun. The weather is gorgeous at the moment and the Mustang seems to be responding. I've replaced 70s driving tunes with acoustic strumming and yesterday found the windows down and the lyrics to 'Wicked Way' drifting out on to the balmy Michigan night.

Get in and Jude needs a ride to the airport. Take her. About 1hr 20 mins round trip and more acoustic strumming. Get in go shopping for more underwear (hence the pic) then talk to some people on Facebook while trying to come up with some lines for a gay celebrity spotlight website ("All the news that's fit to spit" my favorite)

Around midnight I watch Tabatha's Salon Takeover. Then head to bed.

4.5 hrs later the alarm goes off and I head for the gym. Work out. Get home. Shower and head to work for a 7.45 am meeting. follow that with a 10.00am and then to lunch at a Mexican place in the middle of a strip mall full of strip clubs. Eat warm vegetables as everyone else tucks into sizzling meat dishes that look vastly superior. Back to the ofice - big presentation in a darkened room to magazine people. I'm quite good, if a spotlight whore.

Decided I've had enough of work and head home. More computer stuff then take the dog for a two hour walk, call the local massage place (6.30 appointment) and try to find someone to come to Daniel Tosh (comedian) tonight. Everyone is busy so I decide to go it alone - and sell the other ticket.

Head for massage. Head for Tosh. Catch up with busy people who have been getting drunk in front of baseball. Cocktail or two. Home. Then to bed. Brunch with a new friend tomorrow then off to Dallas to present at a toy fair. All fun and games. Still my new "Obvious secrets" line of T-Shirts is coming along nicely. Today is "I shower naked"...

Two teenagers stopped me in the street today, ostensibly to talk to me about my dog. What they really wanted of course was some weed.

"Do you smoke?" they asked

"I don't" I said

"Not even weed? Or whatever your generation called it" the asked

My generation? Ouch.


Anyway I was very glad to get home and find a request from a friend to help him come up with an endline for his new website - an endeavor that specializes in 'fun gay celebrity news'

This is as much as I've managed in 5 mins

The queerest thing since We Know Who

Nothing could seal our lips

The site they can't gag

Spilling more than just beans

The site that lives in a celebrity wet spot

All the news too good to swallow

All the news that's fit to spit


Like the last one...
Anyone got any for me?

Obama v. McCain Debate

Obama v. McCain Debate

So the results are in and here they are (according to CNN - who do seem the most impartial source; trying to find a neutral and representative sample)

54% said that Obama did the best job in the debate,
30% said Sen. John McCain performed better.

64% had a favorable opinion of Obama after the debate, up 4 points from before the event.

51% had a favorable opinion of McCain after the debate, unchanged from before its start.

A majority said Obama seemed to be the stronger leader during the debate, 54 percent to 43 percent,

65 percent to 28 percent thought Obama was more likable during the debate.


"McCain's advantage on leadership shrunk from 19 points in September to just 5 points this weekend, if Obama can use this debate to convince Americans that he is a stronger leader than McCain, he may be difficult to defeat."


Advantage Obama then... but as Chris Rock said " It's like boxing. It's not enough for the black guy to beat the white guy; the only way he can be certain of winning is to knock him out."

And with so many 'rigged' electric voting machines out there that's never been truer

Another day - another debate

It's debate time (again) and this is one the John McCain intends to win. It's in the Town Hall style - which means that you can take questions from the floor and address people directly. McCain's good at these. he wanted more of them. Obama said no. That's the way with these shifty black folks - they just won't take on the straight talk express.

Meanwhile Palin has been out and about, stringing together words into what resemble sentences and banging on about how she likes neither Osama, ooops I mean Obama', terrorist pals or his vicar. It's gotten that low. The black guy is a secrey Muslim who has terrorist friends who are waiting to jack off on the Whitehouse lawn.

Not that Sarah is racist. No she had a witch doctor perform an exorcism on her in her own church. And he was African and everything. (WINK)

Obama is trying to shrug off the whole "He's black. He has black friends. He's going to blow you up" thing with the occasional one liner.... "We're looking at the economy and looking to change America, John's looking to change the subject." we'll see.

A lot of people only pay attention in the last 4 weeks. So expect it to get uglier than an orgy at the Hefty Hideaway.

Politics, huh?

Run, Obama, Run!

Run, Obama, Run!

I'm feeling dull
And flabby
And as though I've settled

Life in A2 is pleasant
It's nice
There are things to do
And people I like

But I miss the electric buzz of the New York City
The pent up sexuality of Singapore
The endless alleys to explore in Thailand

I'm feeling as though experience is being sucked out of me
And that there's very little being soaked up

And being dry is my biggest fear

I want to do 'new'
Try 'new'

To be afraid
To be nervous
To be energized

I want to feel naive
Unworldly

I want to not understand

I want unease
And uncertainty
And experimentation

In a controlled way

I want it as a possibility
Not as a certainty

As an option

Which makes me greedy

But also means I have a criteria for what's next.

I'm excited for the next move.
Impatient for it.
But I'm hanging in.
And I'm doing okay.

Which is why I came here
And why, for now, A2 is enough.

But I can hear the clock ticking
And my 'feed me' drive spooling up.
