“They threw Kathy Griffin?” hehe
“Would require stroke pf pen.” ouch
Ani and Amy wrote a couple of great stories that touch on Stonewall, and what is (or not) going on in Washington right now wrt gay rights, in case you missed them: Cheney Two, Obama Nothing, Clinton – a Thousand, While I’m At It, Let’s Talk Immigration

("This crazy redhead is on to something. Her pink Rambler story alone is worth the price of the book," writes 
- “Richard Sale’s reportage on Washington, the CIA, the American armed forces, and foreign intrigue has created a perfect background for this account of the steady growth of President Clinton as a master of the game of nations.”--W. Patrick Lang, former head of Middle East Operations, DIA
"Anne C. Heller's stunning biography of Ayn Rand" uses a "plethora of newly unearthed research and fresh insight."
Fun video Sara! Thanks for sharing.
LOL – great video, Sara! Stephen gets it right…
I roared abt the Kathy Griffin line, btw – and, um, we have tickets to see her when she comes to the area!
You know how we gays love our Kathy Griffin!!
And Stephen for stepping up (he’s actually from this neck of the woods).
Too bad Kathy Griffen on The Letterman Show called Palin a moron. But at least she didn’t attack Palin’s kids! She is funny though.
Kathy attacks everyone including herself. At least she’s consistent, she hates everyone.
Except BO, of course.
Is Colbert starting to detox? One can only hope. We’ll see if he is at the big unveiling ceremony in South Dakota on the 4th of July. I’m sure going to try to make it!

heh. do you live in the black hills? i live in rapid city, and i’ve already had the displeasure of seeing that monstrosity. gag me. almost as bad as the billboards near mt. rushmore that say “from George W (george washington) to George W. (bush). gag me again.
Nah–sad to say I’m in NorCal and will not be making the trip to the Black Hills. I guess I’ll have to wait until they chisel his noble visage into the cliffs of Mount Rushmore. I know there isn’t much room up there, so they may just have to modify one of the existing presidents so the face looks like O.
I vote for Lincoln to be chiseled over… he is so much all about the first civil war.
That would be the proper choice, Doc. There’s only room for one Lincolnesque figure on that mountain . . .
I don’t think that the Crazy Horse monument is finished yet. I’m sure that it’s not too late for the sculptors to redesign the work so that it resembles Obama. It should also be renamed the Crazy Ass monument.
I’m not sure he ever really drank the kool-aid. I think he has been treading lightly because of the audience, Jon Stewart and the other entertainers duped by the One.
Colbert has many reasons to not like BO. When Colbert tried to get on the ballot in SC (his home state and the only state he wanted to run in) it was Obama’s people that blocked it. Of course, if Stephan had been born in a Hillary state, the Dims would not have cared.
Also, Colbert is Catholic and BO’s botched abortion stance is not popular with them.
Stephan has been sneaking in jokes here and there, to crickets. He made mention of the bow to the Saudi king and other references that the facts-deprived audience didn’t get (thx MSM!).
It’s so sad that comedian’s “freedom of speech” is altered by the BO hysteria. When I hear comedians say they miss Bush and other presidents because of the funny material they’d inspired, I think of yet another reason this guy sucks! The unwritten rule of comedy, no jokes about BO. Say anthything you want about Hillary, Palin & family, women, but you can’t say boo to BO
I will always remember the balls Colbert had at the WHCD when he blasted Bush and killed his buzz. It was probably the bravest thing I’d ever seen.
I watched Jon the other night and his guest spent his whole 8 minutes dissing Obama (with John) and I about fell off my chair.
The audience was so quiet you could hear a hypocrite fart! NOt an LOL among the bunch. Sadddddd.
When Colbert went to visit the troops, that was the end of it for MOST looney left. Of course imo that was when he GREW a pair and I decided to start watching him again.
You mean I can start watching the Daily Show again? Jon is starting to wake up? I thought when he had to tell the audience it was ok to laugh (about a BO joke), that that would have opened his eyes. I guess he needed a few more clues.
Welcome back to reality, Jon, we missed you. Now stay focused and stay away form the kool-aid.
Still can’t watch Comedy Channel, or any video of The One.
colbert needs to grow some hair. i can’t stand buzz cuts like that. still wouldn’t watch his show, though.
He is growing his hair back after having it shaved in Iraq when he entertained the troops recently.
oh yeah, i remember hearing about that. i thought he was going for that “progressive skinhead” look that some Obots are fond of. he just needed a few tats and a “sarah palin is a cunt” T-shirt. ha ha
That hair cut is un-constitutional.
I figure, while you still can, grow it. There’s plenty of time for the chrome dome look later, when you have you choice in the matter.
when you have NO choice in the matter.
CHANGE? I told you so? Once a politician always a politician?
Woot!
