Over the weekend, a guy took a shot at the White House. They hunted him down and arrested him. He said, “I thought I had a better shot at it than those Republican candidates.” – David Letterman

Subject: What was your first experience with…
Lisa,
You support alternative lifestyles on your site, or as the GOP would state it, “The Gays” .
I am curious to know why you feel this way and what was your first experience with a gay?
Charles
Interesting question, Charles.
My first experience with “The Gay” lifestyle was when I was in college and walked in on my professor and his graduate assistant embraced in his office. My prof was just brought over from the west coast to liven up the art dept with the California influence by Gulnar Bosch, who was my mentor and the world’s authority on Chinese Art who headed the Fine Arts Dept at Florida State University at that time long ago in 1973. I often wonder if all the Asian influence in my home contributed to my son who is now fluent in Mandarin.
Well, back to “The Gay” embrace….I immediately apologized and acted as if I walked in on a man and a woman embraced. It was natural. I just saw two people embraced in attraction for one another. No big deal.
My prof gave me an A for the course. I don’t think it was for the acceptance I had towards him, I think it was because he really liked my 18foot, 36 inch diameter clear plastic tube stuffed with blue toilet paper. I named it SOCIETY.
This is why I’m a Democrat, I don’t want to CONTROL anyone’s sex life, which is about as intrusive and CREEPY as government can get.

In case you missed it, disgrace-to-boozy-bar-room-skanks everywhere Annie Coulter has a new book out. Apparently, she was plugging it on some San Francisco radio embarrassment yesterday.

Hillary versus Obama?
President Obama should abandon his run for a second term and turn over the reins of the Democratic Party to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, two one-time Democratic pollsters wrote in Monday’s Wall Street Journal, which appeared online Sunday.

Yep: The Poor Are Getting Poorer
Income and wealth disparities become even more absurd if we look at the top 0.1% of the nation’s earners– rather than the more common 1%. The top 0.1%– about 315,000 individuals out of 315 million– are making about half of all capital gains on the sale of shares or property after 1 year; and these capital gains make up 60% of the income made by the Forbes 400.

The Occupy Wall Streeters. The 1% dismiss the Occupiers due to questionable hygiene. Just because you smell odd doesn’t mean your message is any less true. The fact they can’t afford Chanel No. 5 may be part of the point. – Will Durst
