Who would have thought that when the ice broke, the thaw would have proceeded at the rate it has. It is almost like a damn busting: seeming to remain ever fixed it slowly erodes over time until enough small cracks and fissures appear to weaken the structure that lets all the pent up energy behind that dam have its way. The dam has yet to be washed away completely but water is gushing under high pressure blowing bigger and bigger chunks away so that water is significantly unimpeded in its journey to be free. The conservative social establishment is trying its best to plug the holes with their fingers and thumbs in a futile attempt to hold back the onslaught -- too little too late.

yummy! thank you!

Ha! I knew Norquist had to be up to no good. Thank God we have good men like Glenn working to expose these rogues.

I was "out" at a very early age(I was 17 when I publicly came- and this was in the late 70's) I had been out to close friends and family for a few years before that) in a rather small town in NorCal. I was pretty much alone except for a couple of teachers who counseled and consoled me. Today I was in a Starbucks in this town and there were three young Gay boys (this Starbucks is across from the newish High School) were chatting rather campily when this very "straight"appearing Jock entered and joined them-holding the hand of one of the other boys. I had to sit in the car for a moment till the tears of joy dried so I could drive safely. All of the Gay Pride marches and rallies. all of the National Coming Out days, All of the "Visibility" events lead up to this. That two young fellas can feel free to hold hands in a public place in a small town if they feel like dong so. Part of my coming out publicly was a dramatic (SURPRISE!!!! ) reading of this piece by Armistead Maupin in my High School Speech class. http://www.sfgate.com/.../article/LETTER-TO-MAMA-2714157.php

Glenn Beck is on serious drugs. Watching the Tea Party et al. try to take down Norquist for acknowledging at least small bits of realpolitik promises some amusement. Glenn Beck Presents ‘Just the Beginning’ of Why You Need to Pay Attention to Grover Norquist Oct. 21, 2013 8:45pm Erica Ritz theblaze.com Glenn Beck on Monday began what he said is “just the beginning” of his work to reveal the background and motivations of Grover Norquist, the founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform. Beck began by playing recent clips of Norquist calling out Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for his efforts to derail Obamacare, noting that while he used to joke about the left’s portrayal of Norquist as a “big power player,” he’s since revised his dismissive opinion in light of the warnings that you “don’t ever take this guy on unless you’re prepared.” Beck’s show Monday primarily concentrated on Norquist’s alleged connections to Islamists. He invited Frank Gaffney, the president of the Center for Security Policy, and Daniel Greenfield of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, to weigh in.

(Photo: Getty Images) “[Norquist] is the guy responsible for a lot of the Muslim Brotherhood stuff that goes on in the White House, isn’t he?” Beck asked the two. “Glenn, I think most people who know Grover only as a prominent anti-tax guy in the conservative movement would find that statement unbelievable, and to be honest with you I would’ve, but for the fact that I saw it first-hand as a result of sharing office space for what I think of seven biblically long years with Grover Norquist,” Gaffney remarked. “I saw terrorists in his office space. I had colleagues come to me and say, ‘You know there’s a Muslim Brotherhood front operating out of his office suite?’” “It was called the Islamic Free Market Foundation, or Institute,” Gaffney continued, saying it is more commonly known as simply the Islamic Institute. “This was an operation that was created by a man who’s now serving time in federal prison for terrorism by the name Abdurahman Alamoudi.” Gaffney added that at MuslimBrotherhoodInAmerica.com, where viewers can find a ten-part course on the Muslim Brotherhood by the Center for Security Policy, there is a clip of “Norquist at a meeting in Dearborn, Michigan in October 2011 put together between George Soros’ progressives or leftists, radicals, and the Islamists.” “[Norquist] talks very candidly about what amounts to an influence operation that he’s been running against a prominent conservative Republican Senate leader, and you just can’t come away from this with any conclusion other than he knows exactly what he’s doing, and what he’s doing in this case is advancing the agenda of not just Muslims, but Islamists, and I’m afraid that’s the kind of thing that he’s got to be held accountable for,” Gaffney said. Glenn Beck speaks with Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy, and Daniel Greenfield of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, about Grover Norquist. (Photo: TheBlaze TV) When asked why he would have such connections, Greenfield weighed in: “Well the Muslim Brotherhood, like the communists and the Nazis before them, are experts at setting up front groups with innocuous names and finding people who would be useful to them. Norquist was useful to them, and in some ways, they were useful to him.” Greenfield later added: “If you were a freedom guy, then why would he be backing an ideology associated with a complete totalitarian regime? Why would he be backing the…misfortunes of the conservative movement? And why would he be doing everything possible to undermine the possibility that the Republican Party can back a freedom-based agenda?” Beck concluded by saying this is a “complex issue,” but that it is time that somebody takes on the “establishment Republicans” and tell you “exactly who’s who.” “If you’re for the Constitution, I don’t care if you’re a liberal or a Democrat or a Republican and a conservative, I don’t really care, if you’re for the Constitution of the United States of America,” Beck said. “That’s our dividing line, and there are too many in the Republican Party, so let’s clean out our own house first.” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/10/21/glenn-beck-presents-just-the-beginning-of-why-you-need-to-pay-attention-to-grover-norquist/

Thanks! In context, even funnier than I remembered.

Ah! Nothing jogs the memory like flattery. Our CharliePS, long ago in a galaxy far, far away (well, on the Other Site, at least), posed an open question to the forum, to the effect of: What pleasures do you think will take the place of sex for you, once the sex drive wanes? I came up with: Savoring the smooth satin lining and the measured gait of my pallbearers.

OK. My parents dressed me in a lace gown too, and LOOK what happened ! Only NOW I wear my lace gowns with Fabulous stillettos, and BIG hair.

...but, he has been known to rent it out for parties!

The Thursday night street fair is,in my opinion, not at all gay, even though some gays go to it. it's mostly for the tourists. Otherwise, I thought the first guide is just fine. On the gay listing guide, other than quibble if Kaiser grill is a gay place, I don't go to those bars so I don't know how they rank., Some I have never heard of!

the post doesn't say so, but i will assume that the guy in yellow speedos is the owner of the nice dick in the first picture. am i right? i will be in rio in january, and would not object to meet him for a day.... and night. i am looking forward to your report when you meet him, and maybe some contact.

Strange... I would have thought that Penn State would have been the first to stage a tribute to Michael.

All I ever wanted to know about haggis and then some...
