J*** In My Pants

I recently became addicted to Hulu and can't stop watching new episodes of shows I never get to see and some I've never even heard of.

I recently came across this hilarious clip from SNL with Andy Samberg. It aired awhile back but if you haven't seen it yet it's worth it. And as a special treat Justin Timberlake makes a cameo appearance.

Here's a sample of the lyrics:
"It's your fault, you were rubbing my butt. I'm very sensitive, some would say it's a plus."



Richardson Out, Franken In? Here Comes Kaine!

Gov. Bill Richardson has withdrawn his nomination as Obama's Secretary of Commerce amid allegations that a California company that donated to Gov. Richardson's campaign won "lucrative contracts." Apparently rumors of this scandal started back in 2004 but one would have thought that the Obama team would have caught this in their extensive application process.

Though I'm sad to see Gov. Richardson go - without even starting - I'm happy for the bit of good news from Minnesota today that Al Franken has beat Norm Coleman! The Minnesota State Canvassing Board has confirmed that Al Franken has beaten Norm Coleman by roughly 215 votes. Though Norm Coleman and his Republican pals are challenging the results this looks all but in the bag for Franken.

Welcome Sen. Franken - we've been waiting for you!

And it looks like Obama ally Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine will be the new Democratic National Committee chairman. Lets hope he is as successful as Howard Dean for the Democratic Party.


Where My Trannies At?

He started out with a BANG! with Soccer Practice and some of his recent songs have been hit or miss but Johnny "The Gay Pimp" McGovern's newest hit - a cover of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" - is pretty damn humorous. The trannie on his left is probably the highlight from the video.



Topless Tuesdays: Christian Fletcher

Today's TT model has my #1 favorite quality: tattoos! And beyond that I couldn't find out anything about Christian Fletcher. He's represented by Silver Models and even they don't have a bio on this guy. All I can tell you is that he's gorgeous, wears a 12.5 shoe, and is 5'11". Hope you like him!


First Impression: Brooklyn

Over the weekend I made the journey - along with Patrick and Jim - to our new home in Brooklyn. After having an amazing Going Away Party on Friday we woke up early on Saturday and set sail. The weather was terrible. It snowed, rained, snowed again, sleeted (is that a word?), and rained a bit more all the way from Milwaukee to New York.

What should have taken us about 14 hours took us about 23 hours. We arrived in Brooklyn at 7am on Sunday. We slept for a few hours before the movers arrived at 11. The movers - from Shea Moving, Inc. - were amazing. The two guys that showed up unpacked that truck and carried everything up to a third floor walk-up faster than 6 people packed it. They were amazing!

I was a bit nervous to see the apartment since Patrick was the only one to see it before we signed the lease. He told me the neighborhood (Greenpoint) was vibrant, very Polish, near our friends, and most importantly - we could afford it. It turns out my worries were unmerited. The apartment is perfect.

We have slowly been exploring the neighborhood and I will post pictures this afternoon.

I think 2009 will be a very exciting new year!


Topless Tuesdays: Chris Rockaway

Today's model has graced the pages of DyerTimes in the past but hasn't been a featured TT model. Many of you adult film viewers will recognize Chris Rockaway. Since I'm running behind today I had to go with a classic stand-by and there aren't many hotter than Chris!


Al Sharpton blasts church support for Prop 8

In the wake of the passing of Prop 8 in California there were many fingers pointing to communities of color attempting to lay blame for our loss on them. While most of those early critiques have been debunked it was inspiring to see that over the weekend Al Sharpton blasted churches for their support of Prop 8.

He spoke as the keynote speaker of the Human Rights Ecumenical Service at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Atlanta.

From Page One Q:
"There is something immoral and sick about using all of that power to not end brutality and poverty, but to break into people's bedrooms and claim that God sent you," Sharpton told a full house on Sunday.

"It amazes me, when I looked at California and saw churches that had nothing to say about police brutality, nothing to say when a young black boy was shot while he was wearing police handcuffs, nothing to say when they overturned affirmative action, nothing to say when people were being [relegated] into poverty, yet they were organizing and mobilizing to stop consenting adults from choosing their life partners."

That's the type of leadership that we need to see from our national leaders from every community speaking out about injustices faced by everyone. Thanks Al!


Barack Obama VS Vladmir Putin

With all of the trash television and pop culture the United States consumes - it was inevitable that this would happen.

Today in my email I got a random email - from a reader I presume - with a link to a Russian article. The article makes reference to a poll on Drudge Report in December in which readers could vote on: Who's Hotter Shirtless: Obama or Putin?


Yes, it's true. While I couldn't find the story on Drudge the poll on the Russia Today site has a healthy lead for Barack. I honestly can't tell if I love this new trend or loathe it. I guess only time will tell...


OBAMA INAUGURAL CONCERT: Washington DC Gay Men's Choir, Queen Latifah, Josh Groban & Heather Headley

Yesterday started the Obama Inauguration festivities with the Inaugural Concert. There were many amazing performers and speakers. The following clip includes the Washington DC Gay Men's Chorus singing with Josh Groban and Heather Headley singing My Country, Tis of Thee with an introduction from Queen Latifah.

The clip might not be up for long since HBO seems to be challenging many of the clips on YouTube based on copyright infringement.



Topless Tuesdays: Marco Dapper

Remember that guy from Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds? Yea me either. In truth I didn't see Eating Out 1 or 2. Reminded me too much of Ponderosa buffet.

But, if you did than it would be impossible to forget Marco Dapper.

Born in the San Francisco Bay area on July 9, 1983 this 25 year old model and actor splashed onto the scene with his role in Eating Out 2. He's been featured on the cover of Men's Health at least 8 times and also has graced the covers of Out. And for those you that want more, you can get in contact with Marco through his MySpace page.


Oops, He Did It Again

Got fat that is.
Again.

Season 3 Biggest Loser winner, Erik Chopin, went back to eating and regained 122 pounds! He started the show weighing 407 pounds and finished the season at 193. An incredible loss of weight! But it didn't last.

When the attention was off of him he went back to his bad habits and now weighs over 300 pounds. He talked with Oprah this week about the whole ordeal:

"This time I am not going to get involved with a number. I want to be healthy and fit. I just got back from the gym. I feel psyched. This is awesome."

What if there was a show for everyone that wins these reality tv shows and the downward spiral they go on after all the attention and temporary fame? Would it be totally tragic or hysterical?


Caroline Withdraws from NY Senate Race

Rumors were awhirl yesterday that Caroline Kennedy was withdrawing her name from the running for the open New York Senate seat that Hillary Clinton had filled. Last night - just after midnight - she released a statement confirming her intentions to withdraw.

"I informed Gov. Paterson today that, for personal reasons, I am withdrawing my name from consideration for the United States Senate," she said.

Kennedy was always slightly below Attorney General Andrew Cuomo in polls but had the backing of Mayor Bloomberg, President Barack Obama, and her uncle Sen. Ted Kennedy. With the field re-shuffled who knows who Gov. Paterson will choose to replace Clinton.

My guess is AG Andrew Cuomo, though.


OMG How Lazy!

I've seen some pretty crazy stuff in my days on this earth but this has to be right up towards the top of the "What The Hell Were They Thinking?" list. I thought the Slanket was bad but how in the world could you really buy this and use it? Really? The dog scooter!

How lazy! Study after study is published in America to figure out why we Americans are obese. Here's your answer: the damn dog scooter! Walk your friggin' dog, dude!

Ok, I do have a slight interest in seeing someone try to walk one of my dogs on this dog scooter. They'd probably be killed since my dogs would start chasing whatever they saw and rush into traffic. Good luck stopping Pork Chop with that petty hand brake. You'd be toast.


Local Radio Personality Wes McKane

I've got a bit of a guilty pleasure. Ok, maybe I have many guilty pleasures but one of them is listening to Wes, Rahny and Alley in the morning. There is rarely a morning that goes by without them saying something that cracks me up. With all the gay innuendo that goes on you'd be sure that Rahny and Wes are shackin' but supposedly that is not the case.

Anyways, Wes McKane has always been a pseudo crush of mine. (Don't ask me how these things happen - they just do.) You'd feel the same way if you listened each morning and realized that's he's actually not bad looking either. I just stumbled upon this hilarious Rick Roll'd Wes video and had to share it.

Now tell me that you don't think this guy is adorable.



Topless Tuesdays: SCOTT HERMAN from Real World Brooklyn

For those of you that have been watching MTV's latest season of The Real World, you should immediately recognize Scott Herman from this season's Brooklyn cast. Scott - who is just 24 - is one of the gay members of the household and is originally from Salem, New Hampshire.

He has been a personal fitness model for several years before his entry into reality television. Scott and his "award-winning abs", which were featured in Men’s Health magazine, can be seen on MTV every Wednesday at 10 PM EST.

If you need more of this hottie check out Queerty for more revealing shots.

For those of you readers that arrived earlier this morning I apologize if the Flickr slideshow wasn't working properly. I was hoping to experiment with a different way to present Topless Tuesdays but it seems that option doesn't always work. Enjoy!
