Republican state senator publicly comes out

04.14.2005 · Posted in In the news

I don’t understand these folks. Republican gay guy who’s FOR the ban on same sex marriage – WTF is that all about?! Paul Koering is publicly outing himself after pictures of himself in a gay bar have surfaced online – apparently people are trying to force him out of the closet. A tactic I’m not ...

Ouch

04.10.2005 · Posted in In the news

I paid $32.01 to fill up my VW Jetta today. I’m not talking a big-honk’n Hummer or Suburban. I’m talking a regular every gay boy on the planet drives one VW JETTA! I only put about 12.5 gallons in the thing! Maybe my next car should be a hybrid? The Prius is cool, but a ...

Rural Minnesota school shooting

03.22.2005 · Posted in In the news

Wow. It’s a sad day. Some kid, 17 years old, shot and killed his grandparents, then went to school in his grandfather’s police squad car, opened fire, killed 7 others (teacher, security guard and students), then killed himself after injuring more than 10 others. Per capita, his rampage was more damaging than the Columbine incident ...

Rosie’s got a blog

03.20.2005 · Posted in In the news

Rosie has a blog. I thought it was a hoax, too, but apparenlty it’s true – she claims it’s her’s as stated in this NYT article. The blog is made up entirely of lyric-like poems about her life. Very odd – almost seems a bit disturbing. Her latest entry is below, dated March 17th. At ...

Gay-bashing cop goes unpunished

12.30.2004 · Posted in In the news

I’m reprinting this article sourced from the StarTribune website. I find it nothing but totally appalling. I faintly recall this story in the news last year, but had since forgotten about it. As I remember, this cop, the chief’s son no less (read: pompous ass on a power-trip) was in a gay bar, where he ...

Major bummer

Joe Mauer won’t be appearing on the small screen for at least another 15 days. More knee problems for the hottie catcher ...
