"No Drapes are being measured in her mind's eye..."



Senator Thundercunt's campaign is starting to take on a different tone behind the scenes. She's not saying "when I'm president" anymore, major fund-raisers are distancing themselves from the campaign, and advisers yelling at each other:

...Mrs. Clinton has begun thanking some of her major supporters for helping her run for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“When this is all over, I’m really looking forward to seeing you,” she told one of those supporters by phone the other day.

...Morale is low. After 13 months of dawn-to-dark seven-day weeks, the staff is exhausted. Some have taken to going home early — 9 p.m. — turning off their BlackBerrys, and polishing off bottles of wine, several senior staff members said."


Bill has even been quoted at a rally telling supporters "If she wins Texas and Ohio I think she will be the nominee. If you don't deliver for her, I don't think she can be. It's all on you."

And now she's shouting at Senator Unicorn like a disapproving mother?

I suppose that at some point,after the dust settles, I'll feel sorry for her. For now, she's making it really fucking hard.

Soap Operas Just Not Gay Enough



Fans of As the World Turns think so. They say that the show treats the affection of hetero couples on the show differently than sodomites Luke and Noah:

...And the last straw apparently arrived on Valentine's Day, when every other couple but Nuke shared a kiss. They hugged instead. Online fans began a nationwide media blitz on Feb. 20 to bring attention to the show, which has been twice nominated for an award from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). 'Presenting a gay couple on television only to relegate them to insulting hugs and slaps on the back is the 21st century version of putting African Americans on the back of the bus,' wrote one disgruntled fan named Tony. 'We're simply supposed to be happy that we got the ride at all. This is 2008, and yet CBS and Procter & Gamble are clearly stuck in the past.' GLAAD media spokesman Damon Romine agreed with them that, 'while tremendous strides have been made on soaps, it's clear that we're not at a place where gay and transgender people are treated the same on daytime as they are on prime-time or cable.'"

They even have a Soap Operas Need More of Teh Gayz Seks website.

Next on the agenda: Making sure that there is atleast one punchfucking game per week on the Price is Right.
