Bill O'Reilly Jumps the Shark on Gay Marriage

by japhy grant on May 30, 2008

Asked for a reason he actually opposes gay marriage, anti-gay marriage lawyer Dan Schweitzer flounders before Bill O’Reilly, comparing gay and straight relationships as being as different as winter and summer. Bill-O, after trying to give the guy as many opportunities to come up with a reason as possible concedes that all the justifications are lame and bigoted. I know this has been up for a bit, but if you haven’t seen it, you should.

"Everyone Nose" There'd be a Remix with Kanye

by japhy grant on May 29, 2008

Now, I love me some Kanye. He’s the guy who made it okay for suburbanites with overachiever complexes to own hip-hop, after all. But dude, it seems like you can’t buy an album these days without finding Kanye guesting a track. Being the self-proclaimed king of hip-hop, isn’t enough, he’s got to absorb the careers of Madonna, Janet, Daft Punk and now N.E.R.D. That little teddy bear is actually the Borg, I tell you. Anyway, here’s the remix, which also features Lupe Fiasco, and Pusha T. It’s awesome. N.E.R.D.’s new album, Seeing Sounds is out June 10.

Everyone Nose (Remix feat. Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, and Pusha T) – N.E.R.D.

Which should be enough for me to dismiss them forever, but c’mon! It’s Weezer. It’s the You Tube-eriffic “Pork & Beans”, the first single from the Red album, out June 3rd. I hope Rivers deloused after giving Crocker a hug. That kid doesn’t need a hug. He needs a nice long stay in a sanitarium. Think I’m being mean? Here’s what the kid’s been up to lately.

New Flaming Politics

by japhy grant on May 28, 2008

Check out the latest installment of Flaming Politics at After Elton. This week on Flaming Politics, I put Hillary-talk to rest (at least in my own mind) as I conduct a post-mortem on what worked and what didn’t work in her campaign, no character assassination needed. Also, gay victims of the Nazi Holocaust are honored, a Birmingham, AL Mayor puts the kebosh on a pride parade and what you can do to start getting involved in the fight for equal marriage.

Flaming Politics: Wedding Bells for California

May 22, 2008

Japhy eschews the usual cavalcade of sing-alongs, cartoons, and game show parodies to give you a firsthand, heartfelt, on-the-ground account of the historic marriage decision in his adopted home state of California. You know he’s serious, because he’s wearing a suit; though it’s possible he’s just trying to nab wedding invites. Does this decision really [...]

Energy, You Make the World Go Round.

May 20, 2008

So, I’ve been racing to finish my screenplay. It’s a sci-fi movie and one of the big plot elements has to do with, well– energy. And I’ve been sort of tearing at myself at how to handle it in a way that’s not “evil corporation”. Then I came across this video for the old pre-show [...]
