It’s time for straight men to reclaim Kristin Chenoweth
0Alright men – specifically, straight men – listen up. This is Kristin Chenoweth:
She has become an icon in the gay community, and the majority of her fanbase is gay men…and this simply won’t do. Straight men, we are taking back Kristin Chenoweth. The reasons why we need to take action and reclaim her for ourselves are as follows:
- She’s gorgeous. This is kind of a given…otherwise we wouldn’t have to fight the gay men over her.
- She’s crazy talented. In addition to winning a Tony and being a fantastic actress, she’s also a classically trained soprano. You know, the glass-breaking More >

Mother’s day was this past weekend, and if you didn’t know that, you’ve probably already been on the recieving end of a guilt-riddled phone call. However, just like last year, while shopping for cards for those I know that have expunged a human from their loins, I came across some very unusual cards. And, just like last year, I thought I’d share them with the rest of the internets.
Let’s kick things off with a card that seems to completely miss the point.
Did you know that black mothers occasionally need to be reminded of their blackness?

1. Media picks up on unusual disease ravaging rural/poor/3rd world country. 2. Disease sort of comes to US. 3. Medical organization says something quotable and easily taken out of context about disease. Media runs with it. 4. Relentless media coverage creates panic. Surgical mask sales spike. 5. Panic spurs politicians and bureaucrats into saying and doing silly things that further feed panic. 6. Media reports on panic, wondering why everyone is panicky. Media questions if panic is really necessary. 7. Media reports that disease wasn’t as bad as hoped, advises people to stop panicking. 8. More >

Everything’s bigger in Texas, it’s true. But, did you know that sometimes things are a bit more confusing, too? For instance, there are quite a few places in this great state that might give pause to ‘foreigners’ when it comes to pronouncing their names. But don’t fret, ‘pardner’! Just follow this handy pronounciation guide, and you’ll be talkin’ like a Texan in no time!
Dallas – DAL-us (okay, that one was easy!)
Sachse – SAX-ey
Montague – mon-TAYGH
Lewisville – LEWIS-ville (no French allowed)
Bowie – BOO-eee (like Jim & knife, not David)
Fort Worth – COW-town
Coppell – COP-pell

Better off Ted is the best show you’re not watching

in TV
Were it not for a fortuitous trip to the gym a few weeks ago, I may never have watched Better Off Ted, a brilliant and hilarious show that somehow managed to wind up on ABC Wednesday nights. Ted is a workplace sitcom in the vein of 30 Rock and The Office, but with the cartoonish, crazy elements of those two turned up a few notches. Underneath the zany, sweet sitcom antics, however, lies a subversive and dark satire of work politics and the kind of mega-corporations that make everything from food to office chairs.
The action centers around Ted, the head of research at a giant conglomerate More >
