Gay QVC Proposal; Duck Dynasty & Gay Porn; Slutty Little Xmas
Gay QVC Proposal
I remember when QVC started to gain in popularity about twenty years ago. Once in a while I would hear something or see something and I'd wind up staring at the TV while someone went through more than one hundred ways to use a scarf. And even though we don't watch much TV anymore, to this day I can still sit and watch QVC until Tony screams for me to change the channel. I was, proudly, one of the original Kathy Levine and Jeff Hewson groupies of the 1990's. It states here...

Dylan Sprouse Nude Pics; Beyonce Amazon War; Best Artists of 2013
Dylan Sprouse Nude Pic
Dylan Sprouse, a former Disney star, had a few nude photos "leaked" on twitter recently. The photos were removed, and Sprouse didn't deny they were photos of him. Allegedly, one photo showed him in sheer boxers, the other was nude and he was covering his privates...partially. His statement went something like, "Oops, I guess I messed up." If that doesn't make you smile, nothing will.
This was his other comment, verbatim:
"The reason I’m making light of the situ...

Bristol Palin/Duck Dynasty; Defending Gay Teacher in Catholic High School
Bristol Palin/Duck Dynasty
Update: spelling correction with the word duck...it really wasn't intentional. The u and i are side by side and I type fast. So are the f and d.
Bristol Palin, reality TV personality and daughter of Tea Party radical, Sarah Palin, has a blog on what appears to be a far right web site where she blogs for commercial reasons and hocks her readership with ads that range from those Chicken Soup books to her book. (It's really a messy blog, as blogs go, and...

Duck Dynasty Star & Rosa Parks by Ian Bayne
Duck Dynasty Star & Rosa Parks by Ian Bayne
One of the nicer things about blogging is that I answer to no one other than my readers, I post what I want when I want, and I don't have to worry about what anyone thinks. This blog is also not for profit, so no one can accuse me of sensationalizing on any topic to make money. And yet I still tread with care most of the time to make sure I don't offend people unintentionally. I also know, as a blogger, if I post an opinion there may or may not b...

Short Hills Carjackers Arrested; More Duck Dynasty & Free Speech
(Update to Duck Dynasty Story Below)
Short Hills Carjackers Arrested
I think this has been all over the news by now, but I'm posting about it because I used to shop where this crime happened all the time, at The Mall At Short Hills, and I set my book, Fangsters, in that part of New Jersey. I'm very familiar with that part of New Jersey and I wasn't born too far from there. Short Hills is not only an affluent area, but probably the last place anyone would expect something as horri...

Golden Girl Legos; Fed Judge Utah Gay Marriage; Bob Newhart Cancels at Anti-Gay Event
Golden Girls Legos
In a way, the old sitcom The Golden Girls has become a cult classic within gay male circles, to the point where someone has come up with Golden Girls Legos.
Thanks to LEGO CUUSOO , a site that reviews and makes official versions of user-created Lego sets, one person is trying to make Brick Lady-versions of Blanche, Rose, Dorothy and Sophia. Misterr's proposed set includes the four girls gathered around the kitchen with everything one needs to recreate the sitcom. And who does...

Free Excerpt: Cowboy Christmas Miracle; Brian Boitano is Gay You Say; Boycott Russian Olympics
Free Excerpt: Cowboy Christmas Miracle
This Friday the free excerpt I'm putting up is from the release of my new novel, Cowboy Christmas Miracle, in the Glendora Hill series. It's 70,000 words in length, I set the entire story in a fictional town, Glendora Hill, in Texas Hill Country, and I wanted it to be more emotional than usual because the story involves a life and death issue with one character. It was hard to do because I wrote it in August during a heat wave. But this is the one that ma...

FMLA & Gay Couples; PA Gay Minister Fired
FMLA & Gay Couples
This was something I learned this morning and never knew because it never directly affected me. By the time Tony was hospitalized in 2007 I'd already been in business for myself for years and working as a freelance writer. So I basically had to contact editors, let them know what was happening, and tell them I had to take an extended break from work and couldn't meet all my deadlines. It was summer and things were slower. All the editors I worked with at the time offered...

Duck Dynasty/Free Speech; Bookshops Hang In; PA Gov Supports Gay Rights
Duck Dynasty/Free Speech
This all started yesterday and I waited to post about it to see if anything would happen. Action: reaction. Someone named Phil Robertson, from a reality TV show I've never seen called Duck Dynasty, made hate comments about gay people in GQ Magazine that weren't exactly positive and don't send out the right moral or ethical signals, and as a result a firestorm erupted into what resembles the recent gay slurs by Alec Baldwin. Like Baldwin, Robertson w...
