In general, the Oscars look fabulous this year.
Modern glamour, not tragically trendy. Well staged.

Yay Christian Bale!
I fucking love him. But the beard? Oof.
Holy shit
The big news tonight, aside from Kirk Douglas’s ears?
Andrew Sullivan / Tina Brown / Barry Diller!!
I need time to stare at Franco in a dress and digest this.

I’m the type who’d be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn’t going to. I’m the type who’d like to sit home and watch every party that I’m invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.

The case is going to have plenty of challenges, but the basis of the accusations is not wrong. The behavior of the church has been immoral and irresponsible with its response to the global AIDS crisis as well as the child rape problems inside the church.

Question: How many of those people think Obama is a Muslim?
Could we just find and isolate the ~1/5 of the population that is clearly so stupid that they can’t find their way out of a Taco Bell in less than 2 hours, and then go home to watch only FoxNews and old Jeff Foxworthy VHS concerts?
Just stop polling them. They clearly don’t know the answers. To anything....

True story
James Franco launched his Twitter profile 2 days before I did on Friday of last week.
He has 151,617 followers.
I think it will probably take me another week or two to catch up. He is James fucking Franco, after all. Master of all crafts? Adorable couch-napping cat lover? Erotic pillow fetishist?
I mean, who the fuck am I?

Adele’s cover of The Cure’s Love Song. Magnificent.
Her version sounds like a heartbreak song. That’s what an amazing vocal can do to you.
Adele could sing Lonely Island’s “I Just Had Sex” and make it sound like a melancholy love song.
I’m officially on board for all things Adele now.
Here’s a sad tale. I was on a train going into...

Vatican confirms report of sexual abuse and rape... →
The Vatican reports cited countless cases of nuns forced to have sex with priests. Some were obliged to take the pill, others became pregnant and were encouraged to have abortions. In one case in which an African sister was forced to have an abortion, she died during the operation and her aggressor led the funeral mass.
The Vatican is an organized crime syndicate. That thinks they still...

“There’s some overlap between soup kitchens and food pantries, but generally the population served by them varies. The soup kitchens have some families, some children, but mostly are adults, a little more male than female and they tend to be the poorest of the poor.

yesterday The Obama Administration advanced on what’s been an agonizingly slow process of hedging and pivoting on gay marriage, as they no longer plan to defend the DOMA in federal court. The announcement was rejoiced by marriage equality activists, as it showed a shift in the President’s publicly stated views.
