Seriously? A plane crash...where everyone survives, but the plane is RIPPED apart over a large area, but there's no fire... Good lord.

I would have killed to live in Mary Tyler Moore's and The Riccardo's and third runner up would have been The Jefferson's.

I've gotten into a nasty habit of staying up until 3 am or so, putzing about my house, because I do not want to go to sleep...because then it'd be morning and I'd have to go to work. I want to laze about for as long as I can. Anyway I am averaging about four hours of sleep per night and exhausted, but I want to extend my lazy hours and I dread the thought of going to work each morning, doing the commute, gobbling my cereal, etc. On the weekends I have no trouble tucking into bed at 11. Does anyone else do this?

Obama: "I think it's important to recognize that this issue is not a, quote, distraction -- this is part of the debate that we're going to be having in this election campaign about how do we create an economy that everybody, top to bottom, folks on Wall Street and folks on Main Street, have a chance at success."

I LOVE YOUR SHOW AND EVERYONE ON IT, BUT I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH BOB AND HIS SUPPORT OF OBAMA, AFTER HEARING THE THINGS THIS MAN SAID ON SUNDAY NIGHT ABOUT SARA PALIN WAS AWFUL AND TO BE SO SACRELIGIOUS AS TO SAY HE WILL RUN AS JESUS WAS UNFORGIVABLE. I PRAY THAT BOB WILL SEE THE LIGHT AND SEE WHAT THIS MAN REALLY IS HE HATES AMERICA AND WANTS TO TAKE OUR REPUBLIC DOWN.

Actor Nick Stahl is Missing

Just saw an ad for the new season, starting in June!!

At Winterfell, Theon tries to hold down the fort as he waits for his sister. At Harrenhal, Jaqen is displeased by the way Arya tries to call in her final debt. North of the Wall, Jon Snow is brought to meet Mance Ryder. In Qarth, Dany chooses not to listen to Jorah's advice. Near King's Landing, Stannis and Davos approach their destination, and Davos is offered a reward. In King's Landing itself, Tyrion and Varys find common ground. And wherever the hell the Stark camp is, Robb is betrayed.

Both American icons of style, beauty and grace from the same era. Wonder what they thought of each other? Was there any rivalry between them or were they indifferent to one another? Did they ever even meet?

Was blown away by the guy who creates his own instruments and played the Eartharp. The magician/stripper was so bad.

Since coming out and being more active, socially, with gay men, I''ve discovered that a lot of gay guys are really into comic books and superheroes and villains. \ \ Except for the occasional Archie Comic, I was never really into superhero comics. \ \ Were you a comics gay?

What do we think of her?

A few years ago a good friend sent me a few intriguing articles from this site, and it has changed my perspective on the banking crisis, the wars, the attacks on civil liberties and the Internet, and the profound amount of information "noise" (aka flat out lies) that come out of the mouths of the empty talking heads on TV. The basic premise is that a group of very wealthy, very powerful, and very interconnected families- no more than a few thousand people together via marriage, business deals, and/or shared interests- control the mechanisms of banking (fairly obvious), government (somewhat obvious), big business (obvious if you pay attention) and education and media (far less obvious, unless explicitly pointed out). These families/cabals/whatever can subtly (or not so subtly, as in the case of KONY, or the Tea Party, or OWS, etc.)  shape the public narrative (Hegelian dialectic) in a way that prevents the majority (be they "left" or "right" or "conservative" or "liberal" or "green") from ever focusing on the larger issues. That way they can keep "the little people" fighting over trivial matters while they steal our money, our land, our civil rights and our future. If you're fighting about gay marriage and abortion, then trillion dollar wars and massive bank bailouts are off the radar. I have finally become convinced, after the latest bullshit on Greece, Osama, the TSA/PATRIOT ACT/NDAA debacles that this guy is right. 

Dominant Social Themes...are they real?

My bf and I ate dog sitting indefinitely for a friend who had to go out of state to take care of her grandmother who is in the last stages of a terminal illness.  The dog is a miniature Yorkie. She's a good dog, she never barks, has yet to have an "accident" in the house, and I'm not a dog person, but she seems to be a good little dog. I guess it's maybe part of their make up that they have somewhat oily fur.  This drives my bf crazy and he's been giving her a bath every day, using his shampoo on the dog. I don't know, but I don't think shampoo designed for human hair can be good for a dog on a daily basis. When I brought that up to my bf I think I may have made things worse. Now he wants to take the dog to the groomer's and have them basically shave the dog. I've told him it was a bad idea, she's not our dog, he won't ask the dogs owner if it's ok, I can't imagine how she's going to react to seeing her cute little dog all shaved when she gets home. I don't how to get him to quit thinking this is a good idea. Help me Dataloungers, PLEASE!

It seems like they just grind up the ice cream with pieces of Oreo wafer, not the full cookie with the Oreo frosting. I know the ice cream is supposed to taste like the Oreo cream, but I want pieces of the actual Oreo frosting too.

Anyone catch CNBC this morning? Sean Conner rang the opening bell at the NY Stock Exchange, and he was shaking hands on his way out when the CNBC guy stopped him. Connery thought he was just a guy shaking his hand, but the CNBC guy had a mic on him and you could hear Connery's voice for a few seconds before his handler raced over in a panic and urgently pulled him away. Anyway, his voice seemed very thin and raspy, like he was missing some vocal cord or something. I know he had throat cancer years ago, is it back? Is that why he officially retired?

The Pope has commissioned his own fragrance (lime, verbena, grass - with just a hint of ossified, sanctimonious corruption, no doubt). Now what do you think a suitable name would be? And bottle?

Ezra Miller, the young actor who played gay in "Every Day" (2010), will play gay again in the upcoming "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and most recently appeared as Tilda Swinton's malevolent son in "We Need to Talk About Kevin," answers some revealing questions from the Dallas Voice: Tom Hardy said, when asked about whether he had gay sexual experiences, “Of course, I’m an actor, for fuck’s sake.” Do you, umm, agree with Tom in your own life? Of course! Many! I’ve had many, you know, happy ending sleepovers’in my early youth — my period of exploration. I think that’s essential. Anyone who hasn’t had a gay moment is probably trying to avoid some confrontation with a reality in their life. Do you have some gay moments still to come? Is there any hope for the guys crushing on you? I’m not sure. Perhaps. I keep my options open. My spectrum remains broad. I’ve been in love with a lot of girls lately but that doesn’t necessarily suggest anything definite about the future.

I like that type of skin coloring because it''s so unusual. I''m not referring to sickly people, but just famous white guys who have that natural coloring or skin tone.

She will be performing at the Long Beach Gay and Lesbian Pride Festival later this month. And it is heavily rumored that she will officially come out on the stage. Another positive black role model for the gay and lesbian community. Maybe Whitney's death and being in a new relationship made her take stock. Whatever. I'm just glad she's doing it.

We haven't had a thread about Nancy Kelly punching her womb in a while. Showed it to my husband for the first time this evening. He wondered how Kelly had managed to get an Oscar nomination, and seemed pretty shocked when I told him she'd won a Tony for the same part. But that doesn't surprise me. I can see those giant emotions and gestures playing well on the stage. He actually really liked Evelyn Varden playing the Penmark's land-lady. He thought someone should have made a film about her. Eileen Heckart's performance is broad as well, but works a little better, because of her emotional state. She did deserve the nomination she got. Children can be nasty, don't you think?
