Best. Invitation. Ever.

“Strap on your highest heels and bring your game to our first annual “So You Think You Can Pole Dance” blowout.”

No idea how I got on that particular invite list, but damn, that is all kinds of awesome.

The Notorious B.I.G., Hypnotize

There are few things I like more than the first fifteen seconds of this song.  Happy Friday.

It's official: WA voters pass expanded gay rights bill

Lost in the disappointment that happened in Maine is what happened in Washington state. In May of this year, our state legislature passed a bill that gave gay couples ALL of the rights of heterosexual married couples. Some out of state fuckwits sought to overturn the new state law and gathered enough signatures to put a measure on the ballot, repealing the law.

Washington voters upheld our legislators’ “everything but calling it marriage” bill. So there is at least one state where, when a goddamn civil rights measure was put to a popular vote, the voters did the right thing.

Bear with me here. Imagine "Ghostbusters" is based on a true story. Imagine the Dude from "The Big Lebowski" as a real-life U.S. Army general. All factual, right? That's what "The Men Who Stare at Goats" sort of wants us to believe. I think I sort of do -- to a small degree, sort of.

Roger Ebert liked Men Who Stare at Goats.

The Who, Eminence Front

I checked the audio parser and it has been nearly six months since I last posted this. Still the cure for what ails you, and one of those kickass songs that sounds 180% better really loud.
