in minority lady news...

today is the first day of the senate confirmation hearings for supreme court nominee sonia sotomayor. her mom was there, and she is super-cute. there was also some crazed anti-choicer hollerin' about abortion while senator dianne feinstein was trying to TALK. he got arrested, don't worry.

ALSO, barack has picked us out a brand new surgeon general. her name is dr. regina benjamin, and she's from alabama!

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama turned to the Deep South for the next surgeon general, choosing a rural Alabama family physician who made headlines with fierce determination to rebuild her nonprofit medical clinic in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Dr. Regina Benjamin is known along Alabama's impoverished Gulf Coast as a country doctor who makes house calls and doesn't turn away patients who can't pay _ even as she's had to find the money to rebuild a clinic repeatedly destroyed by hurricanes and once even fire. (via)

what a day!

ykwgmg: denny's

let me just say one thing; i didn't get the status of resident bitch for having a thick skin and letting things go easily. ok? and the things i could complain about could fill a damn book. but i can't help but point out that denny's usual desperation is glowing red hot in their newest ploy to trick drunk suburbanites into eating their shitty food late at night.

are you tired of boring old regular menus? well how about a RoCkStAr MeNu!!! featuring rock institutions like good charlotte, sum 41, rascal flatts, hoobastank and some other trash you've never heard of because TRL was cancelled.

oh? you don't really remember these bands? that's funny, because according to denny's, they're
RoCkStArS!!! what's that? you think they're music is shitty? no...if there was ever an authority on quality music, it's denny's. i'm sure they're quite talented.

so run on down to denny's for a "hooburrito" or "the sumwich" you mindless consumer whores.



hi!

i dislike race mixin' and spiders.

lately i've been hearing news reports about a proliferation of white supremacists and neo-nazi websites and social networking profiles. but this one struck me as more humorous than disgusting:


jic you can't read the tiny text, i've reproduced it here:

about me: proud white man, twenty six years old and tired of the destruction of our clean white culture and heritage, the poison of the black culture in our society, and the illegal invasion of mexico into our sovereign nation.

interests: tattoos, exercise and racial pride.

dislikes: race traitors, mixing of the races, liberals, and faggots.

hobbies: reading, cooking, going to movies [...and of course] firearms.

cooking? going to movies? why don't you just throw shopping and sewing in there you faggoty dumb queer.

btw, this guy is in the military, so say goodbye to your tax doll hairs. (via)

homewrecking bitch penguin



SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- The San Francisco Zoo’s popular same-sex penguin couple has broken up.

Male Magellan penguins Harry and Pepper have been together since 2003. The pair nested together and even incubated an egg laid by another penguin in 2008, but their relationship hit the rocks earlier this year when a female penguin, Linda, befriended Harry after her long-time companion died.

This did not go over well with Pepper, who became violent. The three penguins were separated for some time following the fight. (link)

thx g.

what ever happened to...

this weekend kylie and starla and i were enjoying some beers and sun and tunes on the roof in brooklyn. this song came on kylie's itunes genius playlist....




...and made me wonder, whatever happened to babyface, the r&b / pop producing powerhouse from the 90s who seems to have disappeared from collective consciousness.


turns out babyface is on tour right now, in support of a solo album released this year that no one cares about. tour dates are mostly scattered about europe and japan (where presumably he is still wildly popular) and some museums and casinos in the states. Biloxi, Atlanta, Oakland, Grand Prairie, Texas... ctm

rock on babyface!

green lantern movie

UPDATE: they picked ryan reynolds. i guess no one cares that deadpool and the green lantern cant be the same person. geez louise.


there are rumors flying all over the internet about who warner bros has short listed to star in their upcoming super hero movie about the green lantern. at first i was real confused because i thought seth rogen was already confirmed for that movie, then i looked into it a little further and realized that he is supposed to be in a green hornet movie (directed by michel gondry!!).
so that leaves me with the question, who is the green lantern? also, who do you want to play him? justin timberlake, ryan reynolds, bradley cooper? reynolds is supposed to be making a deadpool movie based on his character from wolverine, and bradley cooper is so hot right now after the hangover, so i would guess its going to come down to him and justintime.
