Oh Canada!

You can tell a candidate is in trouble when he says his opponents will damage Canadian-American relations.

That's exactly what happened today when John McCain spoke at Dell in Austin, Texas. Frankly, I'm surprised he could even get an audience in Austin.

McCain said, with a straight face, that if either Hillary or Barack is elected, their support for renegotiating NAFTA will seriously piss off the Canadians, who would likely withdraw their support for America's War On Terror in retaliation.

You've got to be fucking kidding me!! I listen to CBC quite regularly and can assure everyone that the Canadians will be delighted when the Repuglicans fall. And many Canadians feel that NAFTA has led to job losses in the Canadian manufacturing sector. I highly doubt that Canadians will be too terribly upset if either President Clinton or President Obama wants to renegotiate.

Nice try Johnny Boy. Maybe now you can drum up a story of a Democratic victory hurting our relations with Denmark or something.

Loser Of The Week

I swear I'm going to start a "Loser Of The Week" post, because every week I come across some online profile that makes me shake my head and wonder WHY? Why did you post that? This week's is from a guy who is actually quite an attractive daddybear in his online pics, but then you get to read about him:

"Hello, all you BEARS and those who appreciate the good things in life. My name is XXXX. I am disabled, walk with a cane, bilateral hip replacements, titanium in both, am divorced since 2000, married for 10 years with two daughters, 9 and 12 now. I am on SSI and reside with my parents. There isn't much room in the main house and I have a limited amount of privacy. I do get to have my own room in the garage."

I couldn't make this shit up. I feel sorry for the guy, but come on, do you really think guys are going to be lined up to meet you after reading that????

MMMM. Here's a couple of shots of Justin Timberlake showing off his stuff in the new Mike Myers movie, "The Love Guru." Justin stars as a French-Canadian hockey player, Jacques Grande.

I've got to tell you, that 70's gay pornstar look is pretty fucking hot on Justin. And what a great body. YUM.

OK, so I come across the picture from a demonstration about gay marriage in Massachusetts. My question is, which one of these guys is gay? The daddybear with the Vulcan ears could certainly fit right in at the Lone Star. My gaydar is dinging more for him than the cute blond on the left.

The Texas primary is next week. Polls are showing it to be a toss up between Hillary and Barack, but the momentum is definitely on Barack's side.

Like the state, I have been sitting on the fence. Undecided on how to cast my vote. I have been leaning toward Obama, however. That is, until today. I was watching this speech by Hillary from Rhode Island:

Now all the pundits are putting her down for "mocking" Barack Obama. But I have to admit, that it struck a chord with me. It seems that everyone thinks that if Obama gets elected, all will fall into place magically. We've all been caught up in Obama-mania.

But Hillary is right. It will be tough. And we need a tough bitch in office.

I left Palm Springs this morning as I continue my trip to Houston. It was a pretty uneventful stop-over. Took a nap. Got something to eat. Went out to The Barracks last night. The place was absolutely dead. Like Tuesday night kind of dead. Maybe 15 people there tops. On a Saturday night no less. I was thinking about staying today so I could go to the beer bust this afternoon, but decided to pack it up and hit the road.

I don't know what it is about Palm Springs, but I really like the place. I have every reason in the world to not like it, but I can't. For one, I had my car broken into there. Not Palm Springs proper, but more on the outskirts. Nevertheless, it was a dreadful day.

I've never been laid in Palm Springs. Oh, I've been hit on plenty of times, by guys I'm not interested in. The number of hot young chasers there can be counted on one hand. Plenty of daddy bears though. The place is full of them. Great place to go if you're a chaser on the prowl by the way. But if you're a daddy bear who likes hot young chasers, well you have to make an appointment with one several months in advance. Their dance cards are pretty full.

But there is just something about the place. I think it's all the great 50's modern architecture. Everything there just reeks of that fabulous late 50's to early 60's era. Women in fabulous evening dresses. Men in sharp evening attire. Heading off for a night on the town in a 1963 Cadillac. I can just imagine Frank and the rest of the rat pack running around Palm Springs.

There's something about the place. I could see myself retiring there someday. It brings out my gay love of a bygone era, a time of true class and sophistication. And it's about the only place in the world that could inspire me to use the word "fabulous" twice in the same post.

Oh Great. Here Comes Ralph Nader To Try To Fuck It Up Again

What is it with this guy? Is he a complete fucking megalomaniac? Or is he on the Republican payroll? Maybe both?

Nader announced on "Meet The Press" that he's running because all the current candidates are too close to big business, and he wants to "shift the power from the many to the few."

The most laughable line was that Americans are disenchanted with both parties. Oh yeah Ralph. That's why there are record turnouts in the primaries, with lines blocks long to get into polling places.

He's a fucking dirty little rat. I blame him personally for George Bush being in the White House today. We all know he siphoned enough votes from Al Gore in 2000 to put Bush in the White House. The Republicans are all smiles about this. They know he won't take votes from them. Even Mike Huckabee admitted that today on CNN. He says "Republicans would welcome his entry into the race" because he pulls from Democrats, not them.

If people are so willing to jump on his bandwagon, why did he only win 2.7% of the vote in 2000 and only .3% of the vote in 2004???? He's fucking delusional. He has no chance in hell of winning. Just the possibility of taking the Democratic candidate down in a close election.

Enough of this guy's clown act. Will someone please lock this idiot up until after the election???

Fred's Top 10 Ways For You To Get Blocked

1. Your second word after "hi" is "cam?"

2. You start talking about me being your boyfriend within one minute after saying "hi."

3. You live in Outer Mongolia and you want me to be your boyfriend.

4. You live in Outer Mongolia.

5. You clearly didn't read my profile. What part of my profile didn't scream "I'm not going to be attracted to you if you're a 500 pound smooth chub?" Other pet peeves along this line are "so where are you from?" DID YOU NOT LOOK AT MY SCREEN NAME???? Or how about "are you a dominant top daddy?" Again, look at the fucking profile. Oh, and I almost forgot, "what are your stats?" Again, all in the profile.

6. Asking me how to get in touch with "the hot bear standing next to me in pic #4."

7. You don't remember talking to me before. How about that 30 minute chat last night? Remember how I was the hottest bear you've ever seen????

8. "I have a big, thick 4 1/2 inch cock with your name on it." No explanation needed.

9. "Do you like to play with Tina?"

10. John McCain looks pretty fucking hot standing next to you.

Here's why I kind of believe there's some kernel of truth to the John McCain lobbyist semi-scandal going on right now.

The lobbyist involved was working for Paxson Communications. That company, which no longer exists, used to own a large number of radio and tv stations. The founder and head of the company, Lowell "Bud" Paxson, is a notorious right wing fundamentalist. He is also a strict moralist, and something like, say, being gay, would get you fired from his company. But, like most right wing fundamentalists who are strict moralists, his morality allegedly only applied to people around him. I knew several people who worked for this now-defunct company, and they all told me stories of sleaziness and slime in Paxson's business dealings and personal life.

Now, I'm not saying John McCain fucked this chick. But, having heard the slimy stories about this company, and "Bud" himself, it would not surprise me at all if there were some kind of shady dealings going on. In fact, I would bet on it.

Never Ever Stay At The Days Inn Glendale, CA. EVER!!!!!

I am going to spend the weekend in the Springs. I had planned to be there Friday night. But, I kind of got fucked up at the Lone Star Thursday night, and got a really late start on Friday. By midnight I was approaching LA with another 2-3 hours in front of me. So I decided to chuck the Springs for the evening and stop in LA for the night.

I called a friend of mine and asked him to go on petswelcome.com to find me a place. My trusty Red Rood and LaQuinta didn't have any hotels in the immediate LA area. So I had to try something new. Not being that familiar with LA is a problem, especially since I'm trying to talk another person through it who is also not familiar with LA.

The only thing he could find that was reasonably priced in anywhere I was remotely familiar with was the Days Inn in Glendale. At 134 and Pacific Avenue. Big mistake.

I've never been a big fan of Days Inn. Stayed at a couple of them years ago, and didn't come away impressed. I should have let my gut be my guide and sing (to the tune of Rehab)...."They want me to go to Days Inn, I said NO NO NO." But my only other choice was a Quality Inn in Pasadena that got terrible reviews. Something about finding a pubic hair on the lampshade and cum stains on the wall. How did they know it was a cum stain I wonder?

My first sign that this would be a misadventure was as my friend was reading about the hotel on the website. "Built in 1972. Last remodeled in 1991."

The hotel has that "I used to be a nice Sheraton years ago but now I'm some cheap Days Inn" look. Those kind of places always make me kind of sad, as I think of their faded glory. This is one of those chain hotels that isn't owned by the chain. And that always can be problematic.

As I was checking in, I was disturbed at the sign that said "hotel does not guarantee a parking space will be available." I inquired about the parking and was told there were three parking lots. One on the side, one across the street, and a third "down the street by the Shell station."

They wouldn't accept my debit card because of a "problem with the system" so I had to whip out a credit card. Then it was off to my room on the creaky elevator.

The room was pretty much what I expected. Outdated. At least it was clean. No pubic hair or cum stains.

The assholes next door were having some kind of wild party. Lots of noise. Screaming. And what sounded like bodies being thrown against the wall. They must have been having fun, because when I stepped out on the balcony I noticed the hookah on their balcony. I kept wondering when the cops would show up or a bullet would fly through my wall.

After I got settled, I checked to see if they had wireless. Thankfully they did. But I didn't have the code. So I called the front desk and was told they couldn't give me the code over the phone, I would have to come down. This is not exactly a place that makes things easy for the customer.

So I got dressed and headed to the front desk. When I got on the elevator there was music. Loud music. Crystal Blue Persuasion was playing. That's when I started wondering if I was in one of those "Final Destination" movies where the strange music comes out of nowhere.

Anyway, I made it through the night. But I hate this place so much I had to post this negative review before I do anything else today. Whatever you do, don't stay in the Days Inn Glendale, California.

Now that Barack Obama is the front runner, it's fun watching the right wing trying to trip him up. So far, they have not been successful.

During the debate with Hillary Clinton, he was asked about his unwillingness to make his earmarks public. His retort was that simply wasn't true. That all his earmarks are posted on his website. A quick check of the website shows that it, indeed, true. By the way, his $91 million in earmarks last year pales in comparison to Hillary's $340 million last year.

Then today, the right wingers have been challenging an anecdote he told about a commander in Iraq who told Obama he was sent to Iraq without the appropriate number of soldiers, and that they didn't have enough weaponry and, indeed, had to scrounge for enemy weapons.

Well, CNN contacted this commander who said the story was basically true, but with some minor errors in the subtle nuances. For instance, he was sent there with the appropriate number of troops, but after arriving in Iraq, a number of troops were reassigned to other units and never replaced. And what about the lack of weapons? He said they were sent with the appropriate amount of weapons, but were not given spare parts to repair broken ones. So, they scrounged through captured enemy weapons to find ones that worked.

So, basically, this guy is saying that Obama didn't get some of the details correct, but his facts were basically correct.

HMMM, I challenge anyone to remember the exact facts of a conversation they had last week, let alone one they had several years ago.

Bottom line is Obama is looking better and better every day. He seems like an honorable guy, who isn't caught up in the regular political bullshit.

Get over it right wing. Your day in the sun is rapidly coming to an end.

This is why I'm not proud of my profession anymore. CNN has broken into regular programming with "BREAKING NEWS." An American Airlines flight from Palm Beach to Chicago had to be diverted to Miami because of mechanical problems. Apparently the nose gear is locked in the down position. At the moment the plane is circling the airport burning off fuel in preparation for the emergency landing.

Emergency landings happen everyday. Almost all without incident. It's usually some light that is not working or something like that. It's not really news unless the landing does not end well.

The airport is considering this the lowest level of emergency. The nose gear is the best one to lose. Even if the gear collapses on landing, the worst that will happen is a lot of sparks will fly and the passengers will shit their pants. So how does this qualify for breaking news on a worldwide network?

I hate the way tv sensationalizes everything, no matter how trivial. Someone drives their car into a house? By God, let's get the chopper on the scene. There's a house fire somewhere? Oh My God it's the end of the world. No wonder Americans are the jittery-est in the world. Every day there's a natural or man-made disaster lurking around every corner. And the media is there to point it out to you.

I've seen a million of these things in the course of my job. I already know this will end without incident. But CNN and the other networks are going to milk it for everything it's worth. I can imagine all the viewers sitting in front of their tv's biting their nails in anticipation of some horrific event.

This is nothing more than the video version of people watching a guy on a ledge, waiting for him to jump.

Changing Of The Guard?

I've never understood the outrage that my government has shown for Cuba over the last half century. I swear, it's almost pathological. You can't get any politician of either party to suggest that maybe we should have diplomatic relations with a country only 90 miles from Florida. Is it possible there is some anti-Castro lobby that has pictures of every government official doing the nasty?

It makes absolutely no sense to me that we can have an embassy in Hanoi, a nation we were at war with for over 10 years, a nation that was going to cause all of Asia to fall to communism, but we refuse to have an embassy in Havana.

Never mind that Castro was pro-American before we shit on him. He wasn't going to be pro-American business. Never mind that Batista was a ruthless dictator who fucked over the Cuban people. That's kind of the way we do things. We'll get into bed with some pretty shady characters as long as we have cheap bananas back home.

On the world stage, Castro is a piss ant. All of his influence is derived from the fact that we hate him so much. He's looked upon as the little kid that stood up to the schoolyard bully in most of Latin America. He's admired because of that.

I've always felt that the Castro regime would fall when the Cuban people got tired of it. Apparently they aren't tired yet. As Castro hobbles off the world stage, my hope is that new leadership will eventually take over that can help assuage the paranoid hatred of their country in Washington.

Communism is so old school. We just need to let the Cubans decide that for themselves instead of trying to force it on them. Hell, even the Chinese have started embracing capitalism. An irony, when you think about it, that the Chinese will be much more of a thorn in our side economically in the future than they ever were as a completely communist state.

OMG I heard the funniest line today. It was on the Larry King show on CNN. His guests included liberal radio talk show host Stephanie Miller.
The panel was discussing George H.W. Bush's endorsement of John McCain, and if it would help or hurt McCain.

Stephanie Miller said that she felt much better about McCain now that's he's been endorsed by the cast of "Cocoon." That was some funny shit!

It's not looking good for poor Hillary as we approach the Texas primary, her "firewall" against Obama-mania.

The polls are inconclusive right now, with some showing an Obama victory and others showing a Clinton victory, and ALL showing it neck and neck. This in a state that was supposed to be a shoe-in for Clinton.

It appears the long-standing Clinton connections and base of support in Texas are unraveling as more and more people jump on the Obama bandwagon. Another nail in the coffin has unfolded in the last couple of days as the Houston Chronicle, the Dallas Morning News, the San Antonio Express-News, the Star-Telegram of Fort Worth, and the Austin American-Statesman, the five largest newspapers in the state, have unanimously endorsed Barack Obama.

These newspapers all said in print what I've been thinking for a long time. On policy matters, there's little difference between the two candidates. But on matters of inspiration and leadership, there's no choice but that Obama's the better candidate. We need a JFK right now, and unfortunately, I don't see any "ask not what your country can do for you" speeches coming from a President Hillary Clinton. Even the most strident Hillary backer I know admits that he feels inspired when he hears Obama speak.

Hillary's an insider, a Washington bureaucrat. Yes, she'll be able to wheel and deal, and, with a lot of compromising, get some of her programs passed. Obama will bypass the Congress and go straight to the people. He'll inspire us to want to see his programs enacted, and we, in turn, will turn the heat up on Congress. And that's the way our democracy is supposed to work.

For the first time in decades, Americans (especially young Americans) are feeling empowered by the political process. I'm not hearing the same old "it doesn't matter who gets elected" apathy anymore. The lines at the polling places, the excitement, the new voters coming out of the woodwork. These are all signs that a huge change is in the wind. And there's no candidate who wears the face of change other than Barack Obama.

I am really conflicted about the race, because I do like Hillary, kind of. But I've realized that my support for Hillary is based on a sense that she deserves it, along with my affection for Bill. But, is that a good enough reason to give someone my vote?

My biggest fear of another Clinton presidency is that we will go back to the days where the president is spending all of her time fighting off the trash being hurled at her. The Clintons inspire such a visceral hatred from the opposition that I have no doubt they will spend millions of dollars trying to dig up the most trivial scandal. I don't want to return to that. It's not likely we'll see that with an Obama presidency. Even Republicans like him. It's very telling that a top McCain staffer has already said that he'll resign from the position if Obama is the nominee because he has too much respect for him to be involved in a campaign against him.

Every generation or so, our political process goes through a revolution that sets the course of this country for decades. The last time it happened was in 1980, when conservatism swept the country. This dried up "let the rich get richer at the expense of the not rich" mentality has had it's day in the sun. And Barack Obama is the best candidate to throw it in the trash where it belongs.

Hip And Sapphic-Chic?

The lesbians I've known celebrate their butchness, just like this dyke on a bike:

But, there is a movement underway in San Francisco to change the way we refer to women who are sexually attracted to other women. This movement doesn't like the word "lesbian." They have come up with a new term: gayelle. They're pretty serious about it. I've heard radio ads on Energy 92.7 trying to convince the public to quit referring to them as lesbians, and start referring to them as gayelle.

Their reasoning is simple: they feel that the word lesbian has negative connotations. Their website, gayelle.org, states that the word lesbian is antiquated. It is not representative of modern times, or of persons with modern views. Lesbian does not sound cheerful and fun, nor does it mean merry, like the word gay does. It sounds like loner, loser, and less. Gayelle, on the other hand is hip and sapphic-chic!

Now, before I proceed, let me preface my tongue-in-cheek commentary by stating that I love ALL my gay brothers and sisters, however you want to refer to yourself.

But, come on, give me a break. There is no word in the universe that sounds more appropriate to describe a woman who likes to eat pussy than LESBIAN. It kind of rolls of the tongue, just like a clitoris (eeew).
I think it's rather progressive to say lesbian, rather than things like carpet muncher or muff diver.

And, let's be honest about it. Virtually every word I can think of about female sexual anatomy is repulsive: vagina, vulva, clitoris, labia, cervix, and, my favorite, uterus. It's a cornucopia of words that sends chills down my spine.

Maybe it's a cultural thing for me. Maybe I'm just ignorant because I honestly haven't been exposed that much to lesbians in my life. Oh, I've had a few lesbian friends. And every one of them looked like this:

I have a hard time thinking of these two bull dykes as anything other than lesbian. They would probably kick your ass if you called them gayelle. From appearances they are neither hip nor sapphic-chic.

OK, now I'm embarrassed.

I have this new tracker on SanFranciscoHuskybear.com. It allows me to see the locations from where all my hits are coming, which is cool. It also allows me to see the referral pages. Most of my hits are direct hits. Google search is #2. And biggercity is #3, if you're curious.

It has a lot of cool features, but one of the coolest features is it will tell me the search words that people are typing in to get to my blog. And that's where the embarrassment comes in.

I was checking the search words tonight. And some one typed in "size queen blog." So I went to google and typed in "size queen blog" myself and guess what popped up?

I guess google knows me pretty well. LOL

I'm Officially An Alamedean. Alamedan? Alamedaite? Alamedite?

However you refer to a resident of Alameda, that's me. I took the plunge today and signed the paperwork for my new cottage there. It will be ready on March 8. That's it above. One of the four rectangular things in the middle. Not going to tell you which one. Don't want to get any chasers hanging out in my yard chasing my milkshake.

I like Alameda. Yeah, it's in the East Bay, and the East Bay is pretty skanky (at least the close in parts like Oakland and Hayward (yuck) and Richmond (more yuck). But Alameda is this pleasant little island (literally) of cuteness and quiet in the middle of it all.

I feel very comfortable there. It's kind of like Berkeley without the trashiness. Lots of old hippies who are now middle class to upper middle class live there. Lots of cute old victorians in funky colors. And virtually every big ol' dyke in the Bay Area.

It's funny how this apartment search was all about Buster and not me. I wanted a place with a little yard so I could let him out to pee. Didn't want to walk him 3 or 4 times a day, especially when I just wake up in the morning. Had I been looking just for myself, I probably would have just grabbed a high rise in the city.

But this works out nice for me. I've been spoiled the last 15 years or so being a homeowner. Hated the thought of sharing walls and ceilings and floor with somebody. With this cottage, I get the best of a house and an apartment.

So, after March 8, if you see Buster and me in the Alameda Dog Park be sure to say hi!

I'm starting to feel bad for Hillary, as I watch the wheels coming off her campaign. Who would have thought, a year ago, that we would referring to her as the underdog?

It seems that she receives a new blow on a daily basis. Today, an important union endorsement, normally Hillary territory, went to Barack. The 1.9 million member Service Employees International Union
is throwing its weight behind the junior Senator from Illinois.

Some of the super delegates are changing their support from Hillary to Barack. While they are free to vote for whomever they chose, they're seeing the writing on the wall. Those super delegates who are also elected officials don't want to go against their constituency and vote for Hillary.

In Texas, popular progressive writer Jim Hightower has endorsed Barack. That's not good news for Hillary as we approach the Texas primary.

I can't imagine what must be going through her head these days. She has the Clinton name, the prominence, the connections, etc., and yet, her clock is apparently being cleaned by an upstart freshman Senator.

I was looking forward to a history-making ticket. I felt that Hillary would win the presidential nomination and Barack would accept the VP spot. If Barack wins the nomination, I don't see Hillary taking the second spot. It's a sad irony of history that the the first time we have a viable candidate that is not a white male, we have to choose between a female and an african american.

Oh well, as I said on an earlier post, the fat lady hasn't even warmed up yet. Who knows how this will end? Texas has an open primary and I wouldn't be surprised if Repuglicans, who are scared shitless of Obama, will turn out in droves and vote for Hillary just to help her win the nomination.

Oh, This Is Choice

CNN is reporting the FDA is allowing an un-inspected lab to manufacture drugs bound for America. Apparently this drug has caused a potentially-lethal allergic reaction in hundreds of American patients.

So, let me get this straight. The FDA, in their infinite wisdom, doesn't want Americans to buy drugs in Canada, where they are cheaper, because quality and safety cannot be assured out of that filthy, dirty sub-standard country. BUT, it's perfectly OK for American pharmaceutical companies to import drugs from un-inspected Chinese labs?

What the fuck is up with that???? Oh, I know. The Canadian drugs are cheaper for the consumer, while the Chinese drugs are cheaper for the pharmaceutical companies. Bigger profits for them YAY!.

By the way, it's also being reported today that lollipops contaminated with metal chippings have made their way into the American food supply. Where did they come from? C-H-I-N-A! If the Chinese can't make a fucking lollipop that doesn't kill our kids, how the fuck can we trust them to make our drugs?

Lez be friends......

Oh My God! This is so fucking funny!

From cracked.com, it's the "Top 25 men who look like old lesbians" list. My favorite is this Ricky Gervais guy from "The Office"......

....who truly does look like an old lesbian. He would fit right in at the dog park in Alameda.

So anyway here's the link. Enjoy

FUCK YOU CRAIGSLIST!!!!!!!

So I'm looking for a new apartment in the Bay Area, and naturally, I turned to Craigslist.

I have heard about certain con games regarding apartment listings on Craigslist, but hadn't run into any until yesterday. I saw an apartment listed downtown, about 4 blocks from my building. The price was $1500 a month. From the description and pictures, it seemed to be a very nice apartment. $1500 seemed awfully cheap. Too good to be true.

I thought, "what the fuck", and I answered the ad. I received a response from a person who "had to move to London suddenly for my job." She allegedly owned the apartment and was "desperate to find a good renter for it." Of course, she had the keys with her in London, so we would have to make arrangements for me to get them.

Well, of course I immediately knew this was a fucking con game. How someone can actually fall for that shit, I don't know. But apparently a lot of people do, because the con men wouldn't be posting the ads otherwise.

The pissed off at Craigslist part didn't come until later. I was looking for apartments again this morning and saw a strangely familiar ad for an apartment in Emeryville. Same ad as the San Francisco apartment. Different city. Different price. Only $1000 a month. Well, there's no way in hell you're going to rent a nice apartment in Emeryville for $1000 a month.

So, I decided to do my civic duty, and I posted my own ad on Craigslist. I basically alerted readers that this was a con job. That they would hear from someone out of the country. And that they shouldn't fall for it.

What did I get for my trouble? My post was flagged and deleted!!!!!! The con game ad is still there, but not my warning about it.

That's why I saw again, FUCK YOU CRAIGSLIST!

I can't stand Paris Hilton. That skank is nothing but a worthless piece of human garbage, who happens to come from a wealthy family. She is the perfect example of what is wrong with America today. The rich get richer, and never suffer the consequences of their actions.

In the news today, I see that a new Hilton sibling is making the news. Barron Hilton, Paris' 18 year old little brother, was arrested in Malibu for DUI. His blood alcohol level was reportedly two times the legal level.

I have no idea who this kid is. He's probably cut from the same cloth as his skank sister. But, I can forgive that, because this guy is fucking gorgeous!!!!!

This hottie can put his shoes under my bed anytime. LOL

WOW! This election cycle continues to be the most exciting in, well, forever, for both parties.

John McCain got his groove back and won all three primaries: Maryland, Virginia, and DC. He has the nomination pretty well locked up. Even if Huckabee wins all the remaining primaries, he'll reach barely half the number of delegates that McCain has right now. It will be interesting to see if Huckabee continues his quixotic campaign for much longer. While he has no chance in hell of getting the nomination, he could wield a lot of power in St. Paul. He could theoretically prevent McCain from winning the 1,191 delegates needed to win.

On the Democratic side, Barack Obama continues his winning streak, taking all three primaries tonight. This time, he defeated Hillary by impressive margins. He received 75% of the vote in DC, 60% in Maryland, and 64% in Virginia, not the slim margins we've seen in the past. Hillary has so much as written off Wisconsin, and is devoting all her attention to Texas and Ohio, which she says she "must win."

While it's not looking good for Hillary right now, the truth is it's not likely either candidate will get the required delegates to win the nomination, even if he/she wins every single remaining primary. So, that means a lot of back room maneuvering to settle the nomination.

In the old days, the political conventions were filled with drama. Many times, it wasn't certain who would get the nomination when the convention opened. There was plenty of arm twisting and politicking in the "smoke filled rooms." That all ended with the rise in influence of the primary system in the last 30 years. The conventions became boring over-produced extravaganzas, kind of like a bad Super Bowl halftime show. Nothing more than a glitzy coronation for a nominee who is known well in advance.

I'm looking forward to following both conventions this year. It's virtually guaranteed that both will be filled with lots of drama and intrigue.

You Know You're Getting Old When....

I have a handful of friends whom I've known for over 20 years. We now live in disparate areas of the country. We don't talk to each other a lot. Usually just a few times a year. But when we talk, it's like we saw each other just yesterday.

Lately, I've become concerned at how the topics of conversations have shifted to health issues. We used to talk about our jobs, politics, whatever. Now, we seem to spend most of our time talking about what ails us.

One friend is suffering from gout. And he has some kind of neurological thing going on. Another one recently had a bout with skin cancer, which has been treated successfully. Another one just had cataract surgery. And my friend Bob informed me today he has been suffering from an enlarged prostate, and he has to go to the bathroom every 20 minutes.

I have been having prostate issues of my own in the last year. Plus, my diverticulitis resulted in having surgery to remove a part of my colon back in December.

What the fuck? Twenty years ago we would have been sitting around talking about getting laid the previous night. We were young lions. Masters of all we surveyed. Prepared to conquer the world. Now, we're talking about prostate shit?

I love my prostate. Since puberty, my prostate has been the center of my universe. It provides the most wonderful pleasure. But now, it's turned on me. Oh, I still have the pleasure, but there's a price to pay where age and prostate mix.

I sense my AARP letter is being prepared as I write this.

One Of Those Silly Videos From A Water Park In Europe

Oh Yeah! I Want Some Of That!

It always amazes me when I run across a profile online that, by its very nature, should have guys running. Every now and then I'll come across one that I feel I must comment on.

For instance, here's one from a 61 year old guy in Arizona:

"Am primarily looking for someone to suck my cock with PROBABLY nothing from me in return. Also have recently enjoyed receiving a lot of anal attention and crave that now--especially rimming and fingering. Am very hesitant about doing anything at all to the other guy, but would probably at least jack you off. Can't guarantee more but would certainly, seriously consider it (though won't do anal to you for sure). Don't get very hard anymore for some reason, but all have said it's a nice mouthful and I always cum. Have been with straight, bi, and gay guys---the only consideration is be D&D free, safe, and super clean (as I am, always). Love to be naked with a guy, and love being held, fondled, licked, sucked, and kissed all over--except on the lips."

Oh yeah! Where do I sign up?? Because there's nothing that gets my juices flowing like a 61 year old married guy who can't get it up and wants a blow job but will do nothing in return.

The sad part is, he probably gets more action than I do.

What a bizarre night at the Lone Star last night. I had a stalker. This guy came up to me and started talking to me on the patio. Can't blame him. I was looking hot LOL. He wasn't ugly or anything. Borderline cute. But, his English was horrible. I only understood about 25% of what he saying. But the one phrase he kept repeating over and over (he must have practiced) was "I like big American man for sex." I felt like I was being hit on by those two "wild and crazy guys" from Saturday Night Live.

So, after a few minutes of that, I decided to disentangle myself from him. But he wouldn't leave me alone. He kept following me around trying to grope me. His aggressiveness and lack of English skills really turned me off. And he certainly didn't help his cause when he cornered me in the restroom and whipped out his hard 4 inch pecker. I guess he hadn't heard that I'm a size queen.

So, some of my friends saw my plight, and they surrounded me like a bunch of Secret Service guys, keeping the stalker at bay. He appeared to leave after awhile, but as the bar was closing, one of my friends checked outside and he was there waiting for me. So they did the Secret Service thing again and rushed me to my car.

I always feel that any attention is flattering, even if it's by someone to whom I'm not particularly attracted. But, this guy was WAY over the top.

Wow! Another exciting day in the world of politics. Obama sweeps all the Democratic primaries/caucuses today. The current delegate count shows less than 100 delegates separating Obama and Hillary. At least for now, it seems that momentum is on his side.

And, on the Repuglican side, Mike Huckabee comes on strong and hands McCain his hat in several states. Of course, Huckabee has no chance in hell of catching up with McCain. But, it's very possible that he could capture enough delegates to stop McCain from getting the nomination.

And, it ain't over yet. We still have to hear from big delegate states like Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. The fat lady isn't even warming up yet.

This has been the most exciting presidential election season since 1968. One thing is sure, both conventions will be very interesting this summer.

The one thing I will miss about Mitt Romney is those smokin' hot boys of his. Yum. Would love to get me some sweet innocent Mormon boy lovin'. But, I want to know something. That blond kid. Where the fuck did he come from? Was Mitt's wife practicing that old time religion one day 20 something years ago?

Mitt Romney continues to piss me off. Even in defeat, as he tucks his tail between his legs and skulks off the national political stage.

What is his reason for "suspending" his campaign? It has nothing to do with the fact that John McCain is kicking his Mormon ass. No, Mitt says that if he stays in the race, it will divide the party and increase the chances of a Democratic win in November. And, we all know, a Democratic president would be disastrous for America. Al Qaeda will soon be storming the White House under a Clinton or Obama presidency.

God, this man just makes me want to vomit. How dare he suggest that America will be less safe under a Democratic president. Didn't the worst terror attack in history occur under the Repuglican watch?

By the way, I will be interested to see where Mitt settles now that he's out of the public eye. I hope he moves to Utah or something, because I can't imagine he'll be too popular in Massachusetts after his right wing conversion.

Having been in the industry for 34 years, I've become disillusioned by the state of radio over the last 10 years or so. Since the deregulation of the industry, we have seen almost all of the radio stations in the country become concentrated in the hands of a handful of big corporations. This had led to a homogenization of radio across the country. In fact, a lot of radio dj's on your local stations are sitting in a studio in San Antonio or elsewhere, recording the shows for several radio stations in several markets. For the most part, radio has turned into Walmart. Bland, uninspiring programming which appeals only to the bottom line.

But not in San Francisco. I love radio here. So much so that I've turned off the satellite. Radio here is more edgy. It has a distinct vibe not heard elsewhere. Oh, you can find the bland, formula style radio stations. You know what I mean. The "light rock, less talk" type stations that could be in Anytown, USA. And, in all honesty, they do well in the ratings. But you do have to look for them. The dial is not monopolized by them.

San Francisco is one of only 2 markets that I know of that has a high energy dance station. The other market is Phoenix, of all places. But Energy 92.7 has a distinctly San Francisco feel to it. It brazenly caters to the gay community. And the dj's can be pretty saucy because of that.

KFOG provides a cool, eclectic feel to the airwaves. You hear a nice mix of mainstream rock, along with the more interesting, less pop-y fare. The Bone transports me to the good old days of Album Oriented Rock. It takes me back to my long hair days, and makes me feel like I'm strolling the Haight smoking a doobie. And Alice is one of the best alternative stations I've ever heard.

No matter which station I'm listening to, I never find myself saying "yuck" and frantically reaching for the button to change the station.

KFRC is probably the most mainstream station I listen to. It's a 60's/70's classic hits station, and plays all the great music I grew up with.

Even the country station, The Wolf, has a unique non-country feel to it. Probably because country is sooooo NOT San Francisco. When was the last time you saw a country station doing a remote broadcast from a gay street fair?

All in all, I'm very happy with the airwaves here. San Francisco radio has brought back my love of the industry. It's too bad other stations around the country don't take a cue from Bay Area radio.

OMG! This Is SO HOT!

I've been told this is old news, but last night I ran across these pictures of John Mayer on a boat doing a Borat imitation. I'm loving the thong-y thing, and also the scruffy look. And even the tattoo. This totally blows away my clean-cut sweetness image of him. I hate to admit it, but that's a BIG turn on for me. There's something about a good boy gone bad that just makes me tingle in all the right places. GRRRRR!

I was looking at my earlier post about Mitt Romney, and it brought back a sweet childhood memory. Imagine that.

I'm one of the only people in the world outside of New England who can spell Massachusetts without looking it up. Don't get me started on how I'm one of the only people in the world who can pronounce it. It's MASS-UH-CHOO-SITS. Not MASS-UH-TOO-SITS. The inability to pronounce Massachusetts ranks at the top of the "things that irritate me" list, right along with the inability to pronounce NUCLEAR.

Anyway, back to the story. Captain Kangaroo taught me to spell. And, I particularly thank him for teaching me to spell Massachusetts. The president, JFK, was from Massachusetts, so it was important that we knew how to spell it.

One day they played a little song. Here are the lyrics:

"M A double S A C H U S E double T S. Oh, that's how we spell Massachusetts." There was more but I only remember the first line.

To this day, whenever I spell Massachusetts, that little song goes through my mind.

Thank you Captain Kangaroo.

I love porn. There's nothing like relaxing at home, leaning back in a chair in front of the computer screen watching some porn, and rubbing one out. It's very relaxing. While it doesn't take the place of real sex, it is certainly less complicated. And none of those concerns about safe sex, etc.

Lately, I have been gravitating to X-Tube. I have a paid membership in a porn site, but I haven't accessed that in weeks. The thing I really dig about X-Tube is that you can find videos by real people on there. In fact, I've even seen my own purloined videos on there. There's nothing hotter than watching two hot guys doing the nasty. Knowing that these aren't actors.

There are some bad points, of course. Frequently the video is kind of crappy. And the camera angles can be bad. And you usually can't see the guys' faces, and that's a big deal for me.

And sometimes there's something that's just really stupid. Like the video I saw last night. It was titled "my wife getting pregnant." The video was of a white couple in a three-way with a black guy. The husband was standing off to the side jacking off while the black guy was pounding the wife's pudenda.

Now, who knows if that's true or not. But, fast forward, say, 18 years from now. The kid is jacking off to some X-Tube videos and runs across that one. How the hell would you explain that????

This Looks Pretty Good

I've been spending all evening watching the CNN extravaganza coverage of Super Tuesday, and, I swear, if I hear Mitt Romney claiming to be THE true conservative in the race one more time, I am going to vomit.

This man has completely done a 180 on every position he has ever held, all to pander to the Repuglican right wing base. This is the man who was pro-choice, now he's anti-choice. This is the man who said he would be more pro-gay than Ted Kennedy. Now he's discovered "values voters."

So, my question is, who is the real Mitt Romney? Is he the former LIBERAL Repuglican Governor of Massachusetts? Or is he the current hard line conservative running for president? And if, by some strange twist of fate, he actually wins the presidency, which Mitt Romney will we get then?

Whew! Well I'm Glad They Cleared That UP

Here in California, we are being inundated with political ads. It's kind of fun to watch the Kennedy family being split into Hillary/Obama factions. Ted and Caroline et al are coming out for Obama. And RFK, Jr. is coming out for Hillary.

Both sides are appearing in television ads for their preferred candidates. Both are invoking the spirits of either JFK or RFK. Obama is being compared to JFK and touted as a president who will inspire Americans to bigger and better things. Hillary is bring compared to RFK and being touted as a president who will care about the little guy.

I'm still undecided. I kind of like Hillary, but I think she's all about the political machine. With Hillary, I think we'll get more of the same.

I think Obama is more inspirational. He's young and has vision. He is probably more like a JFK or RFK than Hillary would ever hope to be. But I'm not crazy about the fact that he's running around with some nut-job "ex gay" singer. Yeah right, can't wait to see that guy get caught in an airport restroom.

So the bottom line is there are good points and bad points to both. Here's an idea. How about a Clinton/Obama ticket in November? I think that would be unstoppable.
