A Belated Congrats To Matt Mitcham

He won the gold:

From gay icon, to Olympic champion, Australian, Matthew Mitcham has won his first gold medal. He is the only openly gay male athlete competing in Beijing. There are 9 lesbians and one bisexual woman competing alongside him.

In the last moment he snatched the gold from China's Zhou Luxin, achieving earning four perfect 10s on his last dive, a back two-and-a-half somersault with two-and-a-half twist and a difficulty of 3.8 earning him four perfect tens and a total of 112 from that dive alone. He finished with 537.95 points.

And This Is What The Clintons Are Feeding

Jesus Christ. What Now, Bill?

Guess who's still being a pouty pants? Bill. Now it's about the subject matter of the primetime speech he was given by BO:

As Democrats arrived here Sunday for a convention intended to promote party unity, mistrust and resentments continued to boil among top associates of presumptive nominee Barack Obama and his defeated rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

One flashpoint is the assigned speech topic for former president Bill Clinton, who is scheduled to speak Wednesday night, when the convention theme is “Securing America’s Future.” The night’s speakers will argue that Obama would be a more effective commander in chief than his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.).

The former president is disappointed, associates said, because he is eager to speak about the economy and more broadly about Democratic ideas — emphasizing the contrast between the Bush years and his own record in the 1990s.

The Obama camp quickly denied this, but it's been confirmed by Politico and CNN.

Either way, the Clintons need a big helpin' of SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Also, the above picture is an actual postcard that Bill sent to his grandmammy in 1966.

When he was 19.

And a sophmore at Georgetown University.

Eat It, Cankles

Besides not being chosen as Sen. Unicorn's bottom, Hillary was also slighted by the timing of the text messages sent out this morning. At 3am.

Another explanation for this could be that 3am is dead time and BO really is the Antichrist.

Either way: LOLZ@HILLTARDZBITTERZ&SLUTZ

Bring Your Sticky To Denver

From Reason:

Yesterday drug policy reformer Mason Tvert, who led the campaigns for both initiatives, told a panel charged with implementing the new law that marijuana arrests in Denver, which totaled 1,600 last year, are on pace to hit 1,900 this year, without taking into account a surge that's likely to accompany the Democratic National Convention, which begins on Monday. "After the Democratic National Convention ends, there will be hundreds of marijuana cases all showing up at the same time," Tvert said. That's if police ignore a resolution, approved by the panel yesterday, urging them to refrain from arresting or citing pot smokers during the convention. According to A.P., "city officials say the resolution is not binding."

Barack To The Future: 1995

From Ben Smith:

A pro-Obama blogger turns up this 1995 video which reveals that Obama was...exactly the same 13 years ago.

He tells the story of his grandmother visiting his African-American Chicago world for the first time, and speaks warmly (as he does in Dreams for My Father, which he's promoting) of Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Andrew Sullivan sees the consistency in "his determination to confront racial polarization and his cultural centrism (as well as liberal politics)." There's also, though, an analytical detachment, even when talking about himself, that he's shaken off as this campaign cycle progressed.

Today's Godtube Moment

ElijahJohn888 is back with more wierd shit to say. This time, it's about his vision of the Rapture, which is the date that this Jesus person comes to Earth and takes all the crazies back to Heaven so they no longer kill our buzz.

Elijah, if you want people to take your visions seriously, don't tell us they happened while on a road trip in 1968. And don't post them on Godtube at 12am.

McCain's Record On Gay Stuff

via Obama's Big Gay Website

Mitcham Doesn't Make The Cut

Australia's first openly gay olympian missed the finals:

Gay Australian diver Matthew Mitcham failed to make the finals of the men’s 3m springboard competition at the Beijing Olympics on Tuesday.

Mitcham finished 16th out of the 18 divers in the semi-final, with only the top 12 divers going through to the final round.

His teammate Robert Newbery made the final round with an 11th place finish in the preliminaries.
Mitcham still has a chance at a diving medal on Friday in his strongest event, the men’s 10m platform. The preliminary rounds will be held on Friday night.

Matthew's site here.

Obama's Convention Still All About Hillary

Never Forget.

Never Forget that the 2008 Democratic Primary contestant with lady parts is a stupid hobo that spent all of her money on a bitter loser campaign.

So, donate now. The big red button says so.

If you do, there's a chance to can fly out to Denver with Hillary on BitterForce1 and probably get felt up by a drunken Bill on the way.

Bonus Fun: Read the first and only comment so far.

Today's Paultard Video

The nazi Paultard returns!!!

Here's something about how he can't believe Ron Paul suspended the campaign he was losing and the economies and free gay porn on your internet.

Generalissimo John McCunt Was Never Tortured

Read the whole thing from Sully:

In all the discussion of John McCain's recently recovered memory of a religious epiphany in Vietnam, one thing has been missing. The torture that was deployed against McCain emerges in all the various accounts. It involved sleep deprivation, the withholding of medical treatment, stress positions, long-time standing, and beating. Sound familiar?

According to the Bush administration's definition of torture, McCain was therefore not tortured.

Also, we missed this one by a day. But a good read.

Joe Biden May Or May Not Appear With Clean Articulate Black Man Saturday

Rumors on the internets say that Barry Hussein will appear in Springfield, IL. Saturday astride a magical flaming unicorn with his bottom veep riding bitch.

Meanwhile, Biden says that he's "not the guy." This is because his cat has been threatened by Hillary Clinton.

John McCain's Latest Addition To RACERIOT 2008™

WANTED: Uncut Gay Spies

Notice to all homosexual British people: There's a job for you, besides cutting hair and catering.

You can be a spy person. Just like James Bond. Kinda. Without the whole fucking women part....unless you're a bulldogga:

Britain's domestic spy agency wants gay recruits to know: It's time to come out of the closet.

After shunning them for decades over worries of blackmail, MI5 is now asking gay and lesbian people to consider a career as a spy, promising the chance to fight terrorists, protect their country — and earn a decent salary, plus benefits.

As part of an ongoing recruitment drive, MI5 is already wooing women, minorities and people with language skills. The fact that they're now reaching out to Britain's gay community is long overdue, said Peter Tatchell, a London-based gay rights activist.

Monday Phone In

John McCain copied off of Barry's Bible quiz.

Will Joe Biden call Mittens clean and articulate at the veep debate?

Norm Coleman joins countless other Republicans in being forced to attend the convention.

If that bitch that filled her SUV and then the 5 gas tanks in her trunk at the gas station during Ivan while I waited decides she wants to do the same thing during Faye, there's gonna be some furniture moving.

Roberta McCain has always been a cunt.

That gay republican dude resigned his post at his slutty website.

Ellen got married.
