Also sad about Michelle Shocked. I always thought she was a lesbian.
Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I thought Michelle Shocked was some flavor of LGBT herself? Though I suppose that doesn't actually prevent one from becoming a raging anti-gay crusader, so many of the Fervent Republican politicians who later get caught with their hands in the go-go boy's thong seem to be...
My busted up trashcan lid has gone absent. It was there yesterday. I swear, there must be trashcan fetishists in the 'hood.

Yes, v. disappointing about Michelle Shocked.
Dana - your soup sounds delicious.

Michelle Shocked's show in Evanston was canceled thanks to her rant in S.F.
I'm unpleasantly surprised that Michelle Shocked went off on a homophobic rant at all. Doing so in a traditionally LGBT-friendly city adds a shovel full of stupid to the bigotry. If it had to happen at all, I wish it had been someone whose music I liked less.
