Comic Queers Rejoice!
The new NBC Wonder Woman TV series has found the newest incarnation of the Amazon Princess:
Yeah, she'll do. Though I have to admit, some of the character changes that we've been hearing about in advance of the series sounds worrying.

Facebook Loves The Gays
Recognizing that "It's Complicated" just doesn't cover everything, Facebook added two new options to their "relationship status" section of personal profiles.
"In response to the hodgepodge of relationship legal statuses that exists in America and around the world, Facebook has added two options to describe users’ relationships. Now uses can also choose from 'in a civil union' and 'in a domestic partnership' to add to their profiles in the U.S., Canada, France, the U.K., and Australia, starting today."
OMG! Facebook is destroying traditional marriage!!! So is NOM going to boycott them? No? Weird.

Geek Shit Wednesday Vol. II. On Thursday. STFU.
Ok, I missed Wednesday-- I'm out in the country relying on a satellite internet connection... Which is problematic when my sister's house is just high enough that it's freaking snowing here, crampin' my style. Anyway, here's Geek Shit Wednesday: Thursday Edition.
"Firefly" Returning To TV (Not As Cool As You'd Hope)
I initially screamed and peed my pants when I heard that the popular science fiction western "Firefly" was going to return to TV-- but it's not as awesome as I'd hoped. It's re-airing (not airing new episodes) on Syfy. Sigh. It's cool though, it's the first time in years it's been on a major cable channel, and I'm pretty sure I'll still watch it (I mean, how many times have I said "gorram" on this blog alone? I need hobbies).
In a related story, Nathan Fillion said that if he was ever called to play the show's lead, Mal, again, he totes would. !!! Hottest Canadian Ever!!!

Russia: Put Down The Vodka
Some stunning info came out of Russia today: a third of Russians believe that the Sun revolves around the Earth.
"In a survey released this week, 32 percent of Russians believed the Earth was the center of the Solar system; 55 percent that all radioactivity is man-made; and 29 percent that the first humans lived when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth.
"'It's really quite amazing,' spokeswoman Olga Kamenchuk said of the survey that polled 1,600 people across Russia's regions in January, with a 3.4-percent margin of error."
These obvious scientific fallacies sound insane-- but keep in mind that there are people in OUR country who want to teach in public schools that the Earth was made over a period of 7 days 7,000 years ago. Uh-huh.

Jobsian Cultists/Motorcycle Enthusiasts Rejoice
Because clearly we need the iPhone to attach to EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE FOREVER, I present: GaugeFace!
This fancy dock (for $250) interfaces with your Harley's Engine Control Unit to show you such info including tachometer, engine temperature, turn signal indicators, etc. Seems like a pricey addition to one's bike, but I'm sure some Harley nuts will love it. I hope it grasps the phone securely; I know I always get paranoid when on a motorcycle. I always have these nightmare images of my $500 phone tumbling out and smashing to bits on the freeway.

Arcade Fire? Who?
You'd better figure out who Arcade Fire is, and figure it out fast, or else the hipsters will kill you:
I don't know, I know a lot of hipsters and all of them are too lazy to kill someone. They would sit at home and chainsmoke while whining about you on their blog.
That's totally different from me, guys. Seriously.

Nope, Al Still Doesn't Like You
Al Cardenas, the ACU Chairman and Master of all things CPAC, stated his organization's commitment to keeping pro-gay activism out of the yearly conference.
"Cardenas declared that the American Conservative Union 'will always be inclusive in regards to who comes to CPAC, regardless of your ethnic origin, gender, color of your skin or orientation.' While gay conservatives might take comfort in this comment, Cardenas went on to elaborate that this applies only to individuals, and that the inclusion of groups that actually advocate for pro-LGBT issues is a different story.
"Cardenas clarified that if an organization is not in line with the ACU's principles, then 'your individual members are welcome to come, but not the organization.' Cardenas suggested that among those principles that might not pass the vetting process were the 'gays in the military issue or gay marriage.' He added that groups, gay or straight, that don't support gay issues like Don't Ask Don't Tell's repeal or marriage equality will 'fit within the tent of what we stand for.' GOProud has been an outspoken advocate for Don't Ask Don't Tell's repeal, so barring a major position shift from GOProud, it's safe to assume that they will not be invited as a participating organization at next year's CPAC conference.
Cardenas once again underlined that anyone can be a Republican as long as they hate the gays. Great! GOProud won't have any issues there! They hate themselves as much as I hate happy people. Ha! You could say we both hate "gay" people! Ha!

But Al, who will spackle your face next year? All that pancake mix/makeup ain't gonna apply itself!

OneAngryCultist: Calling Cardinal Bullshit
In an article released Monday on Irish Central, Archbishop Cardinal Francis George shot back against LGBTQ activists who had recently picketed Chicago's Holy Name Cathedral, protesting the Church's attempts to block equality and civil unions in that state:
Umm... alright. So, you feel you're being persecuted after spending so much time and MONEY trying to ensure that others don't get the same rights that you enjoy? FUCK YOU!
Does anti-Catholicism exist in America? Yes. Is it terrible? Yes. Do Catholics as a whole deserve the bad-wrap by association? No - some of the sweetest, kindest, and sexiest people I know are Catholic. Does the institution of the Church deserve a bad rap? Not entirely - although I will rally against the against the INSTITUTIONAL exclusion and discrimination that DOES exists. Is it fair that they use the "victim card" when being faced by groups they routinely discriminate against? Absolutely not! Therefore, loudly and proudly I say: FUCK YOU! Cardinal Francis and get back to doing the good shit your god on a stick demands.
Some members of the Gay Liberation Network demonstrated in front of Holy Name Cathedral on Sunday, February 13, protesting against Catholic Church teaching on the immorality of homosexual genital relations and opposition to so called 'gay marriage.' These are deeply felt issues, because they speak to the personal identity of some and to the religious beliefs of others. No matter the issue, Catholics should be able to worship in peace, without fear of harassment. An open display of prejudice against the Catholic Church because of resentment of Church teachings prejudices civil discourse in our society.

The Immortals, Or, As I like To Call It, "Softcore Gay Porn"
We've already seen Henry Cavill's promo shot for The Immortals (he plays Theseus).
Ok, he's hot. But I must admit, the just-released image of Kellan Lutz as Poseidon kind of made me wet (get it? Cuz he's Poseidon? Nyuk). Yeah. Meow.
Shhh! You'd better leave Kellan and I alone now. We're going to try on fancy capes and make out.

Gimme A Break!
Listen! I got stuck in a miniature snowpocalypse at my sister's house in the country the past two days. Regular programming will resume later today. So quit with sending me the nasty emails, already! Geez...

Ian Awesome Is Busy Having VD
So I got me a hot piece hangin' out with me today and we're traveling from Portland to Eugene, then I'm showin' him the sights. What does this mean? The blog can fuck off for a day. In the meantime, look at this picture that I found when I searched the words "hot mamma jamma." Enjoy!
Happy Oregon Day!
Are you alone on Valentine's Day? Or disillusioned with the corporate nature of American holidays? Perhaps you just like being a freakjob who goes against the grain? This year, celebrate.... Oregon day!
Little known fact: Oregon became a state of the Union on February 14th, 1859.
While I was in the Army, I was frequently single or apart from my loved one on Valentine's Day (the trials of being gay in the Army). Deployments and training exercises often got in the way of my friends being able to be with their husbands/wives/slave girls. So! To distract them, I invented Oregon Day!
How do you celebrate? Make your own Oregon Day cards, put little-known facts of this gem of the Northwest in them, and give them to your single and/or heartbroken friends!
For instance, did you know:
1. Oregon has the least number of churches per capita in the United States?
2. Portland has the highest number of strippers per capita in the United States?
3. It is illegal to use canned corn as fish bait?
Come! Celebrate the home of Prefontaine and Ken Kesey! Celebrate Oregon Day!

SC: Nutjob Legislator Wants To Have A Separate Currency
Completely ignoring the fact that they have no resource (such as gold or silver) to back such a venture, some asshat in South Carolina is proposing that the state form its own currency.
"State Sen. Lee Bright (R-Roebuck) says that federal spending and increased monetary intervention by the Fed have placed the entire US Federal Reserve system on a path to monetary collapse. And when the crash comes, state residents will need to rely on the stable South Carolina currency to weather the storm.
"'If folks lose faith in the dollar, we need to have some kind of backup,' Bright told Stephen Largen of the Spartanburg Herald-Journal on Friday."
The stable South Carolina currency? That state is currently deep in debt to the federal government. This political grandstanding (I mean, who really thinks this is going to pass) is a waste of time and resources. Plus: I'm pretty sure the good Sen. Bright is high on quaaludes. I mean, look at him!
