Today Jacob and I schlepped to the Cincinnati Obama rally. It was hot, crowded, a pain in the ass to reach, the sound was bad, the gauntlet of t-shirt and button peddlers were obnoxious, the layout of the venue was terrible, and it was totally worth it. Note to the Obama campaign: please make sure [...]

I couldn’t even finish reading the descriptions of gay porn star Mason Wyler’s vicious rape (warning: site is in and of itself NSFW, and this entry perhaps doubly so). The images posted on Queerclick and Mason’s own site (also very NSFW) tell enough of the story. For those who want to get details but don’t [...]

Liveblogging the second debate from my jerekeys_live twitter account: 20:58 Here we go. No drinking games tonight, just sniffling and moans of sick roommates. #debate08 # 21:03 I’m making eye contact and smiling! See! I’m not just a grumpy old man. # 21:09 Why wouldn’t the first qualification be having solutions rather than a personality? [...]

Here’s the result of my liveblogging tweets from tonight’s vice presidential debate. Sorry for the format change, loudtwitter only captures the last 20, so I had to add the earliest stuff back in. Sarah Palin wins the best hair part of the debate! Quick, add “reform” to your drinking games! No one believes fundamentals=workers in [...]

I’ll be liveblogging the Veep debate on my Twitter account for that purpose, then posting the results here later tonight. We’ll also be playing Palin Bingo to keep it fun and avoid committing suicide after 90 minutes of Sarah the Barricuda. Speaking of the endearing little nickname, I spotted this (which is made of win) [...]

Sarah Palin claims to have a best friend who is also a lesbian, a woman she has been close to for 30 years (since she was 14!!). She also thinks homosexuality is a choice. Not that she’s judging… As you can imagine, this has caused some outrage and concern in queer blogs today. Many people [...]
