Subscribe to Breaking NewsWithers: 10 random thoughts
I’ve been searching for hours to find something to ruminate about, and nothing is coming to me. So here is a list of 10 unrelated thoughts, some serious others not so much. This could be a semi-regular feature depending on the responses.
1. Is it naive to wonder why folk who hate gays and lesbians, actually take the time to write a comment and post it on a gay web site. I really hate Duke University basketball, but would never think of going to a site that celebrates Coach K to say something nasty.
2. I’m liking Beau Breedlove more and more. There’s the name. His Unzipped cover. Now he is judging a penis size contest. Can’t blame a boy for working it.
3. Someone needs to tell RNC chair Michael Steele to stop giving interviews because every time he opens his mouth something kooky comes out.
4. Saw Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ Fox News interview when I was at the gym. His comments about DADT weren’t that surprising. President Obama is not going to use any political capital, without being prompted, when it comes to gay and lesbian issues.
5. Why doesn’t my fat tummy recognize I go to the gym?
6. At work (blogging for you lovely readers is freelance; the day job is another media behemoth) the boss gave me props for doing something extra. I thanked him but I wanted to say, “Man have you looked at the newspapers. An old hack like me isn’t going to find a job in this economy so I’ll do anything to keep this gig.”
7. I’m not getting the whole West Virginia thing. When did that state become the epicenter for same sex marriage?
8. Christopher Smitherman, the Cincinnati NAACP chapter president, warned gays and lesbians about consequences if people kept giving him grief about picking homophobe Chris Finney to be his group’s legal advisor. Smitherman, you are no Michael Corleone. Keep the empty threats to yourself. Really.
9. There is nothing deadlier than conversations on race. Nothing. Okay maybe High School Musical 3 but it’s close.
10. You want to see this again, or should it be a once in a lifetime thing?
I had to read it twice because I was laughing so hard at the randomness of #5 and the HH3 reference in 9.
Keep ‘em coming
James, I laughed out loud!
Honestly man, this is a keeper!
Again, please!
S’good.
Don’t pump one out to frequently though.
I’m sold; let’s see more (but not too often).
I like. you should make it like maybe a once a week thing. I love your other articles too much too make it an every article thing though.
OK James, I like this. Keep it up
Michigan fan here who HATES Duke and Coach K only a little less than you do. Unfortunately, those East Lansing thugs made to the Four. Let’s hope they don’t start that couch burning like they do in Columbus, OH.
2)I wonder how Smitherman’s gay bro feels about all of Smitherman’s anti-gay rhetoric.
It added a little sunshine to my day!
Please keep them coming. You are a funny old man and I told you 2 days ago in the hallway that you look thinner. Relax, it is okay, I am not his stalker, I am just his neighbor.
Tiger,
I’m no betting man, but I’m willing to gamble the tattered retirement fund that you are NOT the only one wishing for some more skin form Mr. Effron.
Enjoy your day. And no worries. The devil is hanging around for the duration. LOL
James
A vote for random thoughts. Writer’s block can be a bitch when you’re facing a deadline.
“1. Is it naive to wonder why folk who hate gays and lesbians, actually take the time to write a comment and post it on a gay web site.”
These are probably many of the same people who snicker at fart jokes and other toilet humor between remedial classes (not that I don’t enjoy toilet humor on occasion, but I recognize it for what it is – humor of the lowest form). They probably hoot with laughter when the words “penis” and “vagina” are used as well. They do it because in real life they would run the risk of getting the crap beat out of them, but here they can bash with no repercussions.
“5. Why doesn’t my fat tummy recognize I go to the gym?”
From 6-pack abs to one big keg? Welcome to middle age James lol. I’ve resigned myself to the fact I will never star in a 300 sequel.
“8. Christopher Smitherman, the Cincinnati NAACP chapter president, warned gays and lesbians about consequences…”
Smitherman is part of the problem, not a solution. His homophobia is apparent. Exactly the kind of leader the black community doesn’t need. He seems more suited to the Black Panthers.
“9. There is nothing deadlier than conversations on race. Nothing. Okay maybe High School Musical 3 but it’s close.”
While it may be deadly, at least the conversations might lead to something productive. HSM3 can only lead to HSM4. Am I alone in wishing Zac Efron would appear naked in something?
“10. You want to see this again, or should it be a once in a lifetime thing?”
Again is good, but hopefully you still find time to play my devil’s advocate. Keeps people like me on their toes.
I agree: Random thoughts good.
It opens the door for a free for all, which is always fun when the gay brothers and sisters gather. Let it ride, see how it feels. You take enough grief from some when you write on only one topic, so this opens you up to 10 kinds of hell…fun for you? I can see how it could be.
Enjoy your day!
I like
Please make this a repeat performance. Most fun I’ve ever had before the coffee’s brewed.
