Dan Savage is going to be doing a call-in podcast!
Have you ever wanted to ask me a question but lost your nerve or sobered up before you could send me an e-mail? Well, now you’ll be able to drunk-dial me and record a question from the comfort of that bar, washroom, bedroom, or dungeon. The number: 206-201-2720. Call and ask, I’ll listen and advise. When the podcast launches I’ll announce it in this space.
NYT has an article on FTM transsexuals, pointing out that there are a lot of complicated things going on in society. And that people feel hurt when you announce you’re switching to play for a rival team.
I guess I have a greater understanding of the betrayal the Red Sox fans felt when Johnny Damon moved to the Yankees.
Via Jalopnik, it’s a bitchin Camaro:

Over the past year or so, Bookdwarf and I have been invited to about one wedding every two months. And last night, we began to think that the spurt of weddings was coming to a close.
This morning, we got a “Save the Date” announcement.
My boss Halley and I just had a major disagreement. I sent her an IM with the link to the Huffington Post’s parody of the NYT as seen by right-wingers, and she said she wanted me to email it to her. She wanted to send it to a friend, and she couldn’t copy and paste from IM on a Macintosh. I said, what?
She said, there’s no right-click, so how do you copy and paste?
I said, Command-C. She said, what? I said, select the text you want to copy and press Command-C. I mean, you could hold Control while clicking to get the context menu, and she said no no no, I am not going to learn some keyboard shortcut.
I said, it’s the most commonly known keyboard shortcut: Cmd-A for all, Cmd-C for copy, Cmd-X for cut, and Cmd-V for paste. Everyone knows those. People can argue about the intuitiveness Cmd-Alt-Esc for Force Quit, or Cmd-` for switch-windows-within-an-application, but Cmd-C is the most obvious keyboard shortcut in the world.
She said, I want to do it with one finger on a mouse. If I have to use the keyboard I won’t do it.
What the right wing sees when it reads the New York Times. Just mouse over a headline to see what they think it says.
Which points me to… well… Snakes on Claire Danes:
Bush visits Harley Davidson, extolls free trade, fails to note that H-D is a huge benificiary of protectionist tarrifs.
Just for argument’s sake, let’s pretend that John Kerry and Kerry Healey divorce their spouses, then marry each other. Would Kerry Healey change her name to Kerry Kerry (and then go challenge New Hampshire’s Dudley Dudley to a double-name grudge match – unless, of course, Dudley Dudley then one upped her by marrying former wrestler Dudley Dudley, thus making her Dudley Dudley Dudley)?
Sprinkle Brigade are making neighborhoods look better by decorating poop they find on the street.
Mark Alaimo (Gul Dukat on Deep Space Nine) and Jeffrey Sebelia. Srsly. It’s the neck tattoo on Sebelia that makes his chin recede so he looks like one of the Cardassians from DS9.
