"I was raised to believe..."
When public figures are chastised for homophobia, they often use their upbringing as an excuse.
It's a great tactic - it evokes a nice sympathetic image of the public figure as a wee child, sitting on grandpa's knee, learning about the wide world.
I support gay rights; it's not so much what I was raised to believe as what I believed when I sprang, fully formed as an adult from the fiery depths of hell.
Though, as those of you who have seen the Shane/Alice video know, I'm arguably not really fully-formed.

violent pandas, prudent Chinese governance, human semi-compassion
BEIJING - China has issued a "Most Wanted" list of 21 rioters shown in grainy photos waving knives and fighting during last week's violence over Chinese rule in Tibet.
That list does sound as though the Chinese government is just trying to maintain law and order, but keep in mind that they’ve also posted lists of "Most Wanted Meditators" and "Most Wanted Journalists".
WASHINGTON (AP) — The 170-pound giant panda cub at the National Zoo grabbed a worker while trying to play, sending her to the hospital with a small leg laceration, zoo officials said Wednesday.
Encouraging, really - after decades of habitat destruction, those wussy pandas are finally cluing in and starting to fight back.
Offers of help are pouring in to animal authorities after more than 100 dogs were found in horrifying conditions at a Middlesex County farm described as a "dog gulag" by police.
The offers are proof, once again, of human compassion for animals, which appears, once again, to exceed human compassion for humans.

murder, swan love, drunk cowboys and massive lobsters
An eight-kilo, 50-year-old lobster is at a Montreal aquarium after a New England woman rescued him from the boiling pot at a Super Bowl party.
Big deal! Every year thousands of women have to rescue oversized fifty-year-old males from Super Bowl parties, because they are married to them.
Sheriffs in Virginia City Nevada, where volunteers dress up as cowboys and pose for photos with tourists, say they're more strictly enforcing a county ordinance that prohibits alcohol consumption by historical re-enactors wearing guns.
So if you want great family fun head on out to Virginia City, where people in period costumes who hopefully don't have live ammunition and aren't supposed to be drunk, will hound you for money.
Petra, a black swan in Berlin who became attached to a swan-shaped boat, has finally left it in favor of a live swan.
A swan in love with a boat? By German standards, that’s really pretty vanilla.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two elderly women stand accused of killing two transient men with a car so they could collect nearly $3 million in insurance money.
And I know what you’re thinking but it would actually not be a cool Pepsi commercial.

Male problems and censorship
Common male genital disorders, low sperm count and testicular cancer could all be linked to hormone levels early in pregnancy, research from the University of Edinburgh suggests.
Well, here we go again: yet another study confirming that men are inherently flawed. I was *this close* to giving dudes a go, but sheesh, who knows what kind of freak show a guy is packing down there?
Access to YouTube.com, usually readily available in China, was blocked after videos of Tibet protests appeared on the site.
In a related story, everyone is really surprised that Youtube is usually readily available in China.

Curve Magazine's Poll
Yes, Curve Magazine's website is currently running a poll to determine who is America's Funniest Lesbian. And I am in the running.
Wicked.
Wicked.
Is your movie's title a slogan? You have a bad movie.
Rule of thumb: if a movie's title is actually a slogan, it's probably a bad movie. That's why I don't need to read reviews to know that Never Back Down (from the people who brought you Step Up!") is a bad movie, from the people who brought you a different bad movie.
