MAIN STREET

Okay, I admit I don't quite understand this bailout thing - but I do understand that if Wall Street fails, so does Main Street USA.

I know many Americans want the Fat Cats of Wall Street to suffer their own fate, but if they fall, so will the rest of us - and hard.

Suze Orman - who I love even though she ignored me when I said hello to her on 13th street last year - said on CNN that no matter what happens, the USA economy will not get back on track until 2015.

I guess I will have to keep painting pusses until I keel over.

SEEING IS BELIEVING

Darlings, this is too scary to be true - but it is.

PALIN IN '08

DODGE THAT BULLET

WAY TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT

The race is close.

I am begging all undecided voters to really look at what a vote for old daddy McCain would mean. My degree is in journalism, which means I have numerous schoolmates working the media beat in DC, and word on the street is that old daddy McCain has one foot in the grave.

What does that mean besides a state funeral?

Sarah - "I shoot wolves from helicopters" - Palin as President of the United States - that's what it means!

This is a woman who believes that looking at Russia from her front door qualifies her as a foreign policy expert. 

This is a woman who named her kids Track and Trig - I'm sure the next one will be named Budweiser. 

Even Laura - "My glazed look is from huge amounts of Valium" - Bush has told reporters that Palin lacks foreign policy experience - "but she's a quick learn."

Is this who we really want for president?

Let's all dodge a bullet and vote for Obama.

COFFEE TIME IN IBIZA

Why is it so hard to find a decent cup of coffee in America?

Every time I return from Europe I ask myself the same question.

In Europe, there is no such thing as a "pot" of coffee - it simply doesn't exist in Europe. If you want a coffee, the beans are ground, brewed and served for each individual customer - and it's heaven. I mean, I love a yummy Cafe Con Leche - and you can get it for the price of a single cup of Starbucks "pot" coffee.

Why can't America get it's caffeine this way?

2000 FAGS ON A BOAT 2008

Enough politics for this week.

I recently returned from my big gay cruise 2008. Yes, 2000 fags sailed from London to Barcelona with stops in Paris, Bilbao, Spain, Lisbon, Portugal, La Coruna, Spain, Cadiz, Spain and the party island of Ibiza.

The boat departed from Harwich, England - about two hours up the coast from London. We stayed in London for a few days at the urban lodge Hoxon Hotel - www.hoxtonhotels.com - in London's new hip area Shoreditch, which is often compared to my East Village neighborhood in NYC - bars, restaurants and art galleries on every corner.

Late one night we went to a club called Pop Stars, which was packed with skinny trendy gay boys in skinny trousers and skinny ties- and I do mean boys, because I don't think anyone was over the age of 17. I mean, I have never felt so old or so fat in my life, but the music was loud and Kylie-oriented....I drank way too much alcohol infused apple cider and danced until 5 AM. We left dripping with sweat and soon stuffed our faces with greasy fish and chip platters. Since the Underground (subway) closes at 12 AM, and cabs were nowhere to be found, we had to hike to Trafalgar Square to catch a night bus. Believe me, sitting on top of a big red double-decker bus with the streets pretty much deserted made for a wonderful and magical ride back to the hotel.

Other highlights included a visit to the V&A museum to see the Diana Ross and the Supremes Gowns exhibit, which was fabulous as well as fagulous. Also, the bizarre Harrods’s tribute to Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed is a must see. Located next to the escalators - his father owns Harrods’s - the tribute is both morbid and camp.

PALIN THE NAZI BOOK BANNER

THE DEVIL IN A BEE HIVE

Does anyone else thinks Sarah Palin looks like a serial killer?

CHANGE

This is what the Gallop Poll found out about old daddy McCain's supporters:

For Obama’s Voters, It’s Change; for McCain’s, Experience
September 16, 2008
Despite John McCain’s recent efforts to adopt a “change” positioning, only 3% of his supporters volunteer that they are voting for the Republican nominee because of his ability to bring about change, compared to 37% of Obama supporters.

I guess old daddy McCain's supporters love that the economy is in the worst recession/depression since 1931 - and they don't want a change. God, I hate Republicans - stupid fools every one of them.

The biggest fool of them all is grease bucket Donald Trump who endorsed old daddy McCain last night on Larry King. Of course, he was spouting all the lies of the McCain campaign that Obama will raise taxes...Larry King stopped him cold and said Obama would only raise taxes for the rich. Trump went on to say that the rich deserved the tax cuts because they produce jobs...hmmm, if that's true, then with the Bush tax cuts for the rich intact, why are we in a recession? Honey, the trickle down theory never worked for Reagan and it's not working for Bush.

CHILDREN

Everyone knows I don't like children.

And I really don't like children that scream and have meltdowns in public areas - no, I'm sorry Mr. and Mrs. Parent, I don't find your child's screams and tantrums funny or cute, nor do I think your child is the smartest thing since Albert Einstein.

Funny thing is, I just got back from three weeks in Europe where I didn't witness a single child scream or have a meltdown.

Why is that?

The children in Europe are well-behaved -and the parents seem to genuinely love and enjoy them, which in my opinion, makes for a child who doesn't scream or have meltdowns. So many parents in America seem to have children out of boredom or out of loneliness or out of laziness - not good reasons to have a child. Also, parents in America seem to be on a never ending circle of play dates, hockey practice, ballet recitals... so much activity that the kids are not only exhausted, but feel deprived of their parent's attention and love.

Just my opinion.

DEPEND ON OLD DADDY McCAIN

I just can't believe that old daddy McCain is now ahead in the polls. I mean, who the hell wants four more years of Bush and Republican rule? It baffles the mind.

OFF THE BOAT

I am off the big fag love boat and sightseeing and clubbing in Barcelona. It is sad to leave the boat and fend for myself. We sailed from London to Paris to Lisbon and many ports in Spain - check back for more stories.

A NOTE FROM SPAIN

I am in Cadiz, Spain, but I have to weigh in on old daddy McCain´s choice of running mate.

Is he crazy? Is he senile?

Miss Sarah has been on the city council of a tiny town, a mayor of a dinky town and the Governor of a small state - and now she is capable of running the greatest nation on earth if old daddy McCain kicks the bucket?

I don´t think so. I mean, Helen Keller could do a better job.

Furthermore, don´t you love that she protested and vetoed school sex education with the claim that it should be taught at home...and she ends up with a teenage pregnant bimbo daughter. Uh, Sarah, you ain´t doing a very good job at home teaching your kids about sex.

Once again, Republican hypocrisy in action.
