Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

White supremacy is terrorism.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

It’s a doggy dog world.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

In my day, never was longer.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

    Not as hot as Jim Sturgess, in my opinion. But as I don’t have The Gay, I’m not sure how much my opinion counts for. ;)

    (Although I just started browsing his IMDB photos, and it seems he’s not quite as hot outside Across the Universe.)

    Well, ok Michael, whatever floats your boat. I’m a Bradley Whitford fan myself, but of course I’m a girl and so it doesn’t count.

    Michael, you know how I know you’re gay?

    You have a bumper sticker that says “I like balls in my face” on your car?

    I guess this is a good time to come out of the closet and admit that I am a flaming heterosexual.

    I hope you librulfascists won’t persecute me for being straight.

    I’ve never commented here before. But on this matter I feel compelled to register my complete agreement. SO hot.

    I’m pretty sure this thread endangers my marriage so I won’t join in on the gaiety.

    I’m not married but even though it’s Christmas I ain’t donning any gay apparel.

    Is this place turning into “Queer eye for the straight guy?” It’s okay just as long as you understand I’m not switching teams.

    Seriously though Mikey, your posts this weekend ain’t eggzactly stimulating any discussions.

    Yeah, Rudd’s hot, but he’s also smart and funny and picks his projects well, so fuck that guy.

    About Doogie Howser … an unexpected benefit to Neal Patrick Harris coming out was that “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle” suddenly became that much funnier.

    Just sayin’.

    The 50s were the gold standard for the Form of hot-iness. No woman was ever prettier than Marilyn Monroe, and no man was ever more devastatingly handsome than Marlon Brando, circa “Streetcar Named Desire.” The magazine, “Gay Times,” had a feature once–30 sexiest men ever. The guy on the cover? Marlon, of course.

    Paul Rudd is indeed tasty. Hugh Laurie — never got the appeal. But then again, taste is very subjective. I’m sure some women would go “Eewwww!” when finding out about my unrequited lust for Alan Rickman.

    “Inject a little homosexuality?” Now, that’s just tacky (and, Michael, no worries, not everyone is a size queen.)

    Still, tangential to the subject: Hoover Planned Mass Jailing in 1950. Yay!

    Fifty years on, Dick Chainey Cheney in a red frock isn’t so awfully incredible after all (esp. considering his enthusiastic, public championing of anal autoeroticism – “go fuck yourself” for the slower folks in the audience), and Karl Rove always manages a passable Roy Cohn.

    His King Philip in King of the Hill “Joust Like A Woman” was quite wonderful.

    As long as this is getting so gay, can someone answer a few of my fashion questions? My main one is this: is the current acceptable tie width of today the same as it was before the wide-tie ear of the late nineties/early oughties or should they be even narrower now? I need to know if I can just wearing my old ties again or if I need to get new ones.

    Got some shoes and pants questions too.

    ThymeZone

    is the current acceptable tie width of today the same as it was

    That depends on where you live. If you are in NYC or Chicago, maybe not.

    But if you are in … well, you know …. then nobody is going to care.

    Probably the only way you can raise an eyebrow would be by wearing a bolo tie.

    Probably the only way you can raise an eyebrow would be by wearing a bolo tie.

    Because bolos are only worn with ass chaps, which should answer Doug’s question about pants.

    Stilettos are generally okay unless you’re drag-racing, because it’s hard to run in heels.

    Oh no, out here you can wear them with shorts or just about anything. Or if you’re gay, with a bathing suit.

    Rudd does nothing for me, though he is a decent actor. I’m female, by the way.
    Agreed with the other wimmins on Alan Rickman and Hugh Laurie. Adrien Brody, anyone? Mmmmmmmmm. And, of course, Viggo.

    Interesting discussion. So who wants to share their hetero girl-crushes?

    Billie Piper tops my current list. Kate Winslet. Lauren Ambrose. Yowza.

    Ok. Time to inject a little homosexuality into this blog.

    John took care of that a long time ago with the Hola Fruit and box wine.

    an unexpected benefit to Neal Patrick Harris coming out was that “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle” suddenly became that much funnier.

    So true.

    …no man was ever more devastatingly handsome than Marlon Brando, circa “Streetcar Named Desire.”

    Clark Gable in the prison scene in GWTW is on a par with Brando. Something about that white shirt…

    Krista, I cannot believe that you do not get the hotness that is Hugh Laurie. I actually shed a tear.

    I am deeply relieved, however, that you get Alan Rickman. Rowwr!

    mrmobi

    Krista and Mary, you are in luck. Alan Rickman plays Judge Turpin in the new “Sweeney Todd.” I did not know he could sing, but, since anything Sondheim is gold to me, I’m going to see it on Christmas Eve, because nothing says Christmas Spirit like a musical about cannibalism.

    Alan Rickman plays Judge Turpin in the new “Sweeney Todd.”

    I once saw Sweeney Todd performed in community theatre.

    Is the movie anywhere as boring as the play?

    Is the movie anywhere as boring as the play?

    Yup. Brilliant music, stunningly satiric content, funny dialog, revenge, tragedy, and well motivated violence. It’s every bit as boring as the original musical.

    That kinds depends on the community theater, doesn’t it?

    Paul Rudd, so very hot. Ben Affleck, not at all, the opposite. Alan Rickman yes, hot, Hugh Laurie you can keep, but much hotter than Ben Affleck, still. Viggo of course hot, and I say to you also hot is Gordon Brown. Who’s with me?

  46. 46.

    Phoebe

    Also hot is Michael Cera, which makes me a chicken hawk, but not as much as if I said Jim Sturgess. That’s just creepy.

  47. 47.

    james_boston

    Paul Rudd is hot. If you find ugly hot. That Jim Sturgess guy is kinda hot…if you like the homeless rent-boy look. Which Michael D. apparently does. If you want hot, it’s still Brad Pitt, wrinkles and all.

    Wonder how many of us lurkers here were finally motivated to post by this gayest of gay topics.

    Christian Bale.
    Yummy.
    I’ve crushed on him since he was 12 (he is older than I am so that’s not icky) and starred in Empire of the Sun.

    Oh…Starship Troopers? Amazing movie…one of my favs of all time! Anyone who loves politics and hasn’t seen it is a douche. Doogie Howser playing a fascist storm trooper type…need I say more? (However, despite the hot fascist uniform he wears, Michael is wrong. Doogie is just not hot. I mean he still looks like Doogie Howser…lots of other hot male and female flesh though.)

    I would have rather seen Denise’s funbags than Dina’s.
