The story about the pseudo American pseudo Family Association is perfect for Halloween as it draws our attention again to the habits of these vampires. And, of course, they rub some of our own public excesses in our face: http://www.afa.net/activism/gaygamesproof1.html

Ummm, holy crap! Is it wrong that my bad day was so redeemed by video of Robbie diddling with his donger?
Posted by: Michael | Oct 24, 2005 7:19:50 PM
I think Robbie is trying to quell all the rumors he has a small dick.
Thank you Robbie, you turned my Monday around.

I would much rather see Andy do a similar video entry into his blog.

Is he out?

I would have loved to have been in on the meeting where someone pitched that to him. "Here's what we're gonna do..."

With that devilish smile, I should have known Robbie playing with his ding-dong while thinking of me. (Fine, fine. Robbie was probably thinking of Andy and not me)
Thank you dear. That was... err... uplifting.

With all of the evidence from her intense investigation, did she go to the police? Did she file an appeal? No, she wrote a book that she wants you to buy. I love how the officer in the article compares seeing two men having anal sex to someone walking down a street holding a head in their hands. Sheesh!

eww, robbie williams is just gross.
his obviously been out of the limelight for a while and is just begging for attention

Ergh... so much to post about! First: Robbie: HOTT. Second: I'm saddened that I live in Texas but really curious to see if the so-called Family groups and coalitions will stand side by side their KKK counterparts... Third: that article in the "WaPo" is one reason I don't "come out" at school (and I go to a university!).

The KKK protesting in texas against gay marriage could be the BEST!!!!!!!!! media campaign for our side........ ever!!!!!!!!
hello........anybody in texas with a camera get out there and record it all and make sure your local newspapers and news shows report on it constantly.
The more we can equate anti-gay marriage people with the face of the KKK...... all the better.
The more america sees anti-gay marriage =KKK the more america will marginalize the fundis and side with us
Everyone going to counter protest.........be on your best behavior!!!!!!!!!!! appear as angels compared to the KKK

RIP Rosa Parks.

It's almost become accepted fact that the individual cannot create earth-shattering change. It takes, some say, a village.
Judged upon those standards, Rosa Parks was a mighty village of one. In truth, given her impact on the lives of us all, she was truly a golden city on the hill.
At the end of her life, slipping away amidst hurricanes, Plamegate and Janet Jackson's secret child, she is sadly forgotten by some, unknown by many.
Strangely, there was a day earlier this week when I boarded a bus, empty except for the older black woman sitting in the front seat. Of course, I thought of the day a 42-year old woman named Rosa Parks just did it.
Breaking News: A person who tossed a stone at the bilious swamp of racism, raising ripples that hit Birmingham and Selma and Detroit and Chicago and the rest of this entire, indifferent country -- all by herself -- has died. We should bow down right now to an awesome power that tonight moved from delicate body to invincible soul.
Bless Rosa Parks.

I hope America doesn't forget Rosa's humility and grace. She was an incredible woman that worked for equality to the very end.

I don't know abt Robbie's tiny wee wee, but that little snippet of tune is nice; wish I could hear more.
Posted by: egdam | Oct 25, 2005 1:57:48 AM
That's possibly the gayest thing I've ever seen...It's like a teaser clip from Tresure Island Media..

Being an Atlantan, I'm going to miss Rosa Parks, not that she was my next door neighbor or anything, but her ripple has touched places that I thought would never be touched.
And, thank you Andy, I'm awake now.. Woo hoo Robbie! :)
Posted by: Darren | Oct 25, 2005 7:35:07 AM
Robbie is a hottie! Thanks!

With the klan protesting gay marriage, perhaps now Fred Phelps can have someone he can related to on the picket lines with him.
I suspect it's more of the realization that, a couple rows of sequins and pearls and any sheet can be turned into a wedding gown. I'm sure that scared the crap out of them. Hell, look at the Pope and this recent war against gays. Ther reality is; it's nothing but guys in a dresses.

What a strange juxtaposition to have Rosa Park's passing and Robbie Williams exhibitionism lumped together. Very odd.
God Rest this brilliant woman. Thank you Mrs. Parks.

All hail Rosa Parks and the eloquent posts here about her. Would that the LGBT movement still had someone with half that courage. Not that some aren't doing some things, the demos by Soulforce against Focus on the Family and the military, for instance [kiss-ins in Santa Cruz do not qualify]. But no one is doing anything as dangerous or defiant as her simple act in the belly of the 50s' racist beast. That we are not as violently oppressed as her people were then is no excuse for our impotence. Would that there were Viagra for the soul.

RE: Palm Springs, trust me this is a non issue. The guy is a joke. You could see that his hotel was an issue months ago, but wouldn't appear until right before the election. His entire purpose has been to draw enough votes away from Ginny Foat, the 'slow-growth' lesbian candidate, as long as it didn't cut into the "campaign completely funded by local developer John Wessman" Christian right candidate Chris Mills. His 'plan' for tourism is simply more of the same for this struggling tourist town....lots of vacant promises to match the vacant storefronts. When Williams was asked about the rampant crystal meth problem and recent raids in the neighborhood of his hotel, he expressed ignorance of the problem. If gays in Palm Springs want to support a man who doesn't know what's going across the street (in a town with a meth epidemic on its hands), but professes to understand the solution to a city that builds a $100 million convention center and forgets to have enough enough hotel rooms, then I guess being gay is good enough to vote for someone. So, before anybody wants to look simply at local homo-hysteria (oh yeah..it's there...and was no doubt part of the strategy from the beginning)..look at the candidate first. Maybe you can explain the $300,000 interest free loan (from a near bankrupt city) to a 'cirque-du-so-lazy' rip off (for those too cheap to see any of the six real shows in Vegas a few hours away?)

Well said BECKS07, well said indeed!

The track that Robbie wiggles his willy to is, appropriately titled, "Advertising Space." I don't think his intentions were for people to take the promo seriously; it only emphasizes his cheeky humor.
