The Next President Of The United States

A girl can dream, right? Can anyone deny he's the only Democrat who can actually give a speech? I'm so proud this man is My Senator, and he's got my vote for POTUS. I LOVE YOU BARACK!

Sexiest Man Alive

I have a new hero. Warren Buffet gives it all away. What a fucking rockstar. I Love You Warren Buffet - more than Angelina and Tammy Faye put together. Capitalism Forever!

Pride

I love Pride weekend, but I'm glad it's over. The first half of the day was too wet, and the second half was too hot, and the whole day I was too drunk. Hallelujah, survived another year. On to Market Days - where the real fun is...

Two Weeks Till Curtain

Finally, the official poster is done. Happy Pride Weekend everyone! Hope to see everyone Sunday on the streets - the weather is shaping up to be sublime! Here we go...!

Holy God Cuisine

If you're in Chicago, and want to be totally blown away by a restaurant, try one of these two places: moto, or Alinea. Look out Charlie Trotter, this food is other-worldly. What are your favorite restaurants?

What is Moral?

Morality appears highly subjective. How do you determine what is right and wrong? Is there an objective morality? Are there universal morals? I still haven't escaped the gravity of J.S. Mill. My moral construct is based in largest part on Classical Utilitarianism, and is as free from religious influence as possible (and yes, I'm a hedonist). This sparks all night debates with my religious friends, and I realize Utilitarianism has its faults. Andy inspired this question: How do you decide what is moral?

Moral? You Decide. Natural? Case Closed.

Okay, I've fallen in love with the sagacious blogger Beep Beep from Beep! Beep! It's Me - because of the comment she left on my last post. And I am grateful to her for inspiring this post regarding a must-read book that I've been dreadfully remiss in not hitherto vociferously flacking. Reading Biological Exuberance was the equivalent of lightning striking in my brain. This scholarly zoological tome adheres to precepts of scientific writing as it describes homosexual behavior in almost 200 different animal species. Bruce Bagemihl obliterates any notions that homosexuality is not "natural". Order your copy ASAP, and take a magnificent ride through 768 pages of same-sex activity throughout the animal kingdom. And more props to Kept Woman for being so fucking right about everything. If only the rest of the straight world were as bright as she. Kept, do your kids have any clue how fanfuckingtastic their mom is? Get the book everyone. The morality of homosexuality can and will be argued ad nauseum by the small minded, but the case is closed on the fact it's NATURAL.

Gay Couples Can Legally Marry In Illinois!

The gruesome truth about gay marriage is that any two men who want to marry - can marry, but first, one of them must cut off his penis. American society is basically saying: "Sure you two can have all the legal benefits of marriage, as long as one of you surgically mutilates yourself so that your genitals look like ours." There are thousands of same-genetic-sex couples in this country, one of whom has undergone sexual reassignment surgery. What kind of a sick fucking twisted barbaric society requires members of a minority to surgically mutilate themselves in order to claim a right available to the majority? The truth about gay marriage is that it IS legal, and it IS happening - in many states... as long as a penis is surgically added to or subtracted from the equation. Sick.

Goodbye Old Friend

I first met Ralph about 16 years ago when I moved to Chicago. He has been a pillar of our community for over 30 years. Sunday night Ralph died peacefully in his home of lung cancer. He paved our way girls. I love you Ralph, you changed the face of this city, and your enormous family will miss you terribly. Visitation will be from 3 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, June 7, at Drake & Sons Funeral Home, 5303 N. Western Avenue, and funeral services, 1p.m. on Thursday, June 8. I fucking hate death.

They're Saying You're a Spic-Lover, Remind Them You Hate Homos

First Fuckwad calls for Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage. Meanwhile, in Iraq, the mainstream media are finally covering what I mentioned in this post almost two months ago - some of our trigger-happy good 'ol boy United States Marines are garden variety mass murderers. Burn In Hell Bush.

Transperfection

There are only a handful of perfect American films. There are tons of good ones, and a few hundred excellent ones, but only a handful of perfect ones. Transamerica is perfect. Every frame, every line, every scene. And not just because the protagonist, played by Kevin Zegers, is drop-dead gorgeous. The script is breathtaking, and writer/director Duncan Tucker is a first rate genius. Wow.
