Greetings from my new toy

It's so late now that it's likely passe, but I snagged myself an iPhone today, perhaps making me an official Mac sucker/Kool-aid-drinker. Just getting my fingers working with the keyboard is a challenge with my big ass fingers. The worst part is that I'll never convince Cavin to let me buy a PS3 now.

Aren't you GLAAD you used bile?

The Game Show Network has a new game show. It's going to make you a better person. It's very progressive. And based on the preview, it looks to be the most skin-crawlingest, didactic, politically correct train wreck on television this summer.

Naturally, GLAAD thinks it's terrific.

To save you the trouble, here is a list of 10 things that would be more fun to do than watch Without Prejudice:

10. Shave your eyeballs.

9. My Dinner with Peter LaBarbera.

8. Co-producing a re-make of To Tell the Truth with Michael Moore.

7. The audiobook of Bill O'Reilly's Culture Warrior, as read by Ann Coulter.

6. A lemon and kosher salt douche.

5. Mop a bathhouse.

4. Take a job as Cindy Sheehan's campaign manager.

3. Be married to Rep. David Vitter.

2. Pull the lever for Cheney/Romney 2008.

1. Guinea-pig for Gitmo torture techniques.

The mock debate club

Many people are currently upset once again with the Human Rights Campaign over the upcoming presidential debate on the gay cable channel Logo. Touted as a first-ever kind of event (a claim that has itself has become a point of contention), it features a slew of Democratic candidates -- minus Mike Gravel, a minor, but very pro-gay candidate, because the former Alaska senator hadn't raised a minimum of campaign cash. Progressives are aghast, and I can't say I rightly blame them. If you can have Kucinich on your stage, you can surely make room for Gravel.

Then again, I can't rightly get myself worked up it. In a world where gays and lesbians are truly everywhere, and work every day as professional broadcast and print journalists, political analysts, bloggers and everything in between, who are the only announced panelists thus far scheduled to ask questions of Clinton, Obama, Edwards, et al? Joe Solmonese -- fair enough, I suppose, since he heads HRC, but open to too many questions about his ties to Clinton to really be taken seriously as a panelist in a debate.

Then there's Melissa Etheridge. What, Ellen was busy? Was Rosie too busy making lame jokes about Elisabeth Hasselbeck?

How can I take something seriously if it's obvious the organizers don't?
