A LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
President Obama,
I must admit that lately I am disappointed with the direction your administration seems to be taking. Your recent stance on issues such as Don't Ask Don't Tell, not prosecuting those who authorized the use of torture and your now awkward plans regarding the closing of Guantanamo Bay is troubling. What began as a spectacular start to your presidency is quickly morphing into slick political maneuvering for what I see as either calculated approaches to policy to ensure either another term in office, or delivery of more seats in Congress to the Democratic Party in next year’s mid-term elections.
With regards to social issues – instead of channeling the strengths of notable leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi or Marcus Garvey, you seem to be embracing the weaknesses of the George W. Bush administration.
I am absolutely horrified by your speech yesterday that put forth the notion of ‘prolonged detention’ whereas persons deemed - even remotely - as possible threats to national security without actual cause, grievances or previous actions may be detained indefinitely. To me that translates to mean that if someone in authority doesn’t agree with my views or something I say - that they can put me behind bars for an unlimited time under the ruse of being a ‘possible threat’.
UNACCEPTABLE.
Where is the “Change We Need” that you promised?
I think you need to re-read your own book ‘The Audacity of Hope’ to remind yourself of your previously untainted thoughts prior to your appointment to the White House.
Because lately it seems that your administration is touting ‘The Audacity of Hype”.
PLEASE NOTE: members of the GLBT community are NOT second class citizens and should be afforded equal rights – if you can not repeal ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ at least issue an executive order to halt enforcement of that insidious law.
My faith in you is rapidly diminishing – can you make me a believer again?

MY SECRET OBSESSION - "GREEK" ON ABC FAMILY
I caught this show one day while flipping through channels last year and was intrigued - because it featured a gay character in it's storyline. However, I am sooooo over that and have fallen in love with the cast, the storyline, EVERYTHING about this show!Synopsis: "GREEK is tells the story of freshman Rusty who arrives at his sister's college and decides he no longer wants to be the boring geek from high school. Now he must deal with his sister, sorority girl Casey, who denies his existence, Evan, his sister's boyfriend who denied him a bid to his fraternity because he told Casey about his infidelity, Dale his uptight roommate who thinks Greeks are only about drinking and fornication, and Calvin and his new friend who is in Evan's fraternity and having trouble dealing with his homosexuality."
The show also stars Spencer Grammer, daughter of Emmy winning actor Kelsey Grammer.
Don't miss GREEK airing Monday nights on ABC Family - a NEW kind of family!
TONIGHT I MAY BE WATCHING AMERICAN IDOL FOR THE FIRST TIME .......
.....only because of all the hoopla surrounding the sexuality of Idol finalist Adam Lambert. Normally I do not watch such drivel (although I love music from past contestant Kelly Clarkson), but curiosity is over-riding my high viewing standards.This had better be effing worth it.........
HEARD ON THE STREET
“Honey, a pregnancy test?” “Yeah, I bought it while I was buying the vodka.”
She’s attracted to white guys that look Mexican.
“I went and did some ’ludes.” “Do they even make ’ludes anymore?”
Because I’m a motherfucking lady.
I wrestled that stroller like it was a sand shark.
So your hat is your personality.
My mom e-mailed me from the same room.
I’m usually smoked-out way before 4:20.
A bag wouldn’t help; I’d still know what she looked like.
I saw peach-fuzz, and there was no peach.
Why are you harshin’ my mellow?
I fucking hate my life. The only good thing is that my dick is huge.
I’m not running for the bus; I ran to get to this country.
Snort it all.
I’m more interested in the length than the color.
You think he’d be flattered to be called “hotcakes.”

BEAUTY WITH A PRICE?
Yesterday I caught Jason Mesnick of ABC's 'The Bachelor' fame being interviewed by Access Hollywood on location at the latest jewel in the Sandals crown - Breezes Italian Village in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Mesnick just stood there grinning idiotically at his last-minute-change-of-mind girlfriend Molly Malaney during the interview.
Mark you - the guy is soooooo easy on the eyes (YOWSA!) but.............oh well! I guess when someone looks that good you're not really dating them for conversation - are you?
(Retract your claws now bitch....)
ET TU PRESIDENT OBAMA?
Although President Obama has been disappointing in his lack of action on GLBT and other issues(Gitmo tribunals, repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell, and not prosecuting those who authorized the use of torture), methinks he is waiting until after the mid-term elections next year to take action on those controversial issues. However, if he doesn't act on these matters after next year's mid-term election Obama will NOT win a second term in office.
It's all politics folks......but why do the American people ALWAYS have to pay the price?
With regards to DODT, Obama's presidency is beginning to look a lot like Clinton's; is the GLBT community going to get shafted AGAIN?!

WE'RE LOSING OUR '70s ICONS
You know you're getting old when family and friends - along with icons of your youth - pass away in succession.Today I read that pin-up sensation Farrah Fawcett is in her last days after losing her battle with cancer. I remember watching 'Charlie's Angels' and being fascinated with Farrah's hair and Jaclyn's Smith's make-up.
I also remember the disco days in the '70s, especially the release of 'Rock the Boat' and 'Freak Out' by Le Chic.
I also remember the disco version of the song 'If You Could Read My Mind' sung by Viola Wills. A major hit during the reign of disco the song briefly hit the pop charts once again after the biopic movie '54' was released in 1998.
Sadly, Viola passed away on May 6th after a long illness. Here's remembering her like we all did in the days of disco:

Drew Peterson FINALLY arrested!!!!
Drew Peterson, the former police sergeant who authorities call the prime suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, has been indicted on murder charges related to his third wife, the Illinois state attorney's office said.Drew Peterson was arrested Thursday on murder charges relating to his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
Illinois state police said Peterson was taken into custody at about 5:30 p.m. Thursday after a traffic stop near his home. Police had staked out his home all day, said police Capt. Carl Dobrich, but waited for Peterson to leave to arrest him out of concern for his three children, who were inside the house.
Wills County State's Attorney James Glasgow said he believes the case is strong and said Peterson is being held on $20 million bond.
"This is an extremely grave and serious matter and it is reflected in the bond," Glasgow said.
Drew Peterson has been an embarrassment for Chicagoans. For most of us who live in Chicagoland that is convinced that Peterson is as guilty as all hell and have been forced to watch him parade around as a free man and a media oddity, tonight's arrest of the son-of-a-bitch comes as welcome news and a source of jubilation.
We will be watching developments on this case VERY CLOSELY.
HEARD ON THE STREET
That dude has better tits than me.
Is this blackout going to effect the status of our dessert?
If chillin’ with Diana makes me a buster, what are you? You’re just a trick and a ho.
Why are all sci-fi villains wickedly gay?
Fuck earplugs. You need to stick some toilet paper in them shits.
What do we know about exceptions? They don’t prove rules.
You look like a Mexican Seth Rogen.
Where’d they get all these oversize vegetables?
Sometimes your lap is your best table.
“Doesn’t HIV come before AIDS?” “Duh.” “Shut up, Dr. Phil!”
Extended Family—that would be a great porn title.
You should only speak Spanish in secret.
I wish I didn’t have to remind my friends not to shoplift all the time.
