Gaps on so many levels.

Certain things you can count on in Halloween season; orange & black color schemes, revenge scenarios, kids in sugar comas, politics and dancing. Oh, and of course the annual Most-successful Dead Celebrities list. The spiritual tide has turned and a new generation's deadhero has made the here and now comfy for their heirs. Kurt Cobain's new Nirvana has him sitting pretty. Smells like teen spirit, and how.

Top 10 'rich dead' list

1 Kurt Cobain ($50m - £26.3m)

2 Elvis Presley ($42m - £22.1m)

3 Charles Schulz ($35m - £18.4m)

4 John Lennon ($24m - £12.6m)

5 Albert Einstein ($20m - £10.5m)

6 Andy Warhol ($19m - £10m)

7 Dr Seuss/Theodor Geisel ($10ms - £5.3m)

8 Ray Charles ($10m - £5.3m)

9 Marilyn Monroe ($8m - £4.2m)

10 Johnny Cash ($8m - £4.2m)

The list is compiled as a parody on the Forbes 400 and issued same time every year.
Boo!

Amending the constitution, and condemning bad fashion.

XTRA XTRA!!! ROCKIES LOOK STOCKY WITH SCHLOCKY!!!!

(Denver, Colorado) Colorado Republican Marilyn Musgrave says she will support a new GOP bid to pass a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage if she is re-elected to Congress.

If she is not re-elected to Congress, the gay community will send a consolation prize of a stylist armed with Musgrave's colorchart and the stylist's partner to educate this hillbillie on love and yellow.

Douchebaggery, an artform.

I'm so hip to the resurgence of douchebag, no longer an adjective but also a verb. The fine site Gawker is creating a Douchebag Hall of Fame which really should be checked out. It gave me this little darling on an exchange; from which I hit the floor. The atty in question dogged the new employer because well, you can read..........

Dear Attorney Korman,
At this time, I am writing to inform you that I will not be accepting your offer.
After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that the pay you are offering would neither fulfill me nor support the lifestyle I am living in light of the work I would be doing for you. I have decided instead to work for myself, and reap 100% of the benefits that I sow.
Thank you for the interviews.
Dianna L. Abdala, Esq.

Dianna --
Given that you had two interviews, were offered and accepted the job (indeed, you had a definite start date), I am surprised that you chose an e-mail and a 9:30 PM voicemail message to convey this information to me. It smacks of immaturity and is quite unprofessional. Indeed, I did rely upon your acceptance by ordering stationary and business cards with your name, reformatting a computer and setting up both internal and external e-mails for you here at the office. While I do not quarrel with your reasoning, I am extremely disappointed in the way this played out. I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
Will Korman

A real lawyer would have put the contract into writing and not exercised any such reliance until he did so.
Again, thank you.

Thank you for the refresher course on contracts. This is not a bar exam question. You need to realize that this is a very small legal community, especially the criminal defense bar. Do you really want to start pissing off more experienced lawyers at this early stage of your career?

A blur, a slur, a cur.

I've missed you as well. Thanks for the flowers and Don Julio, they are both so important. My space between posts is attributed to a show I'm launching in another timezone. Feel me.

I can't begin to trash the Salem-esque fagwha that's unfolding with Foleygate (you heard it here first) the fruit is so pleniful (three level funny), I dont know which to pick first. I'll be around to it soon.

But I had to get this one up first, it fell into my lap from the man in NYC who has a steady stock GWB toilet paper.

Putting an F in Art.

This isn't even humor. Which stereotype to do you prefer: The light-loafer? The limp-wrist? The cocktail with the umberella? The wallpaper? The Village People? Maybe the HAMSTER CAGE behind McGreevy? Or the sleeping teddybear in the next room with the black dildo. The dildo here is Sean Delonas, the cartoonist for the New York Post. I'd like to reproduce this toon as coasters and sell them at Gay Pride. But maybe I'll just call the nice people who make the GWB toiletpaper. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate.

Mark'd Man.

THREE TIMES on The OReilly Report last pm, Fox News 'mistakenly' labeled embattled, abused, alcoholic, gay, republican, former congressman, floridian, and alleged satanist Mark Foley as a Democrat. The man can't have enough hyphenates. Everytime we tune in for an update, he has a new revelation out there to claim responsibility/contributor to his alleged crimes. Madonna did the whole reinvention thing well before the GOP or Diddy. And. Better. The GOP can't put enough spin on this fireball, no one wants to touch. GOP leaders are claiming no prior knowledge that Rep. Foley had such behavior (it's also rumored that he goes deep sea fishing in heels) but out of their talking heads are coming every sordid detail that made this man go 'awry'. Are you meaning to tell me that there are no bars in Washington where congressmen meet post-meet? Do they all just go straight to church? The gym? Maybe japanese -inspired pods where they are isolated from reality and each other. It's just insulting to the intelligence/ gaypride of the voter that they cant show ownership of the flawed candidate that was shoulder to shoulder with them for six terms but have to throw the drowning man a flaming, pink anvil as a liferaft. Solid solidarity there, guys. Throw him under his assigned bus to Betty Ford and spit on him as he goes. The republicans resembled Celebrity Fit Club on some Challenge. All these pampered showdogs bolting to a chair as the music stops and Roseanne is looking at them accusingly. I AM NOT EXCUSING WHAT MARK FOLEY HAS DONE, But, the manner in which his party has deserted him is quintessential to what the republicans do best, point the finger. J'Accuse! Let's talk ownership guys, it's a new word.

Pan, Panic, Panned.

It's funny. We can prance all we want, but sometimes all the preening in the world can't help. We inevitably miss the parsley in the teeth at a first introduction, we enter the elevator with our zippers partially complete, we lint brush for days but accidently slide the outside of the black cashmere through a deoderant streak. We mark ourselves accidentally, we are all human. Those who obtain a constant state of perfection are amazing to me, but I know that that state comes with a hefty pricetag or even a heftybag full of neurosis that get you there.

Rabbit, Rabbit. Hello October.

The first of the month has come again and let's welcome it in. With a resounding "Rabbit, rabbit" we'll bring some real good luck our way. This post at the beginning of the month is a resounding celeberation of all that's witty, pretty and gay.

This past month made us look for heroes. We found some on NBC (pun intended). We looked in the tabloids, and properly lined the puppy's pen with them. We had many celebrities in the news announcing their scheduled/sexual orientation. Some were floundering and some will still flounder. Where are the role models? Where are the foundations created and the causes rallied? Is coming out just a right of passage or a creditline increase? Have our newbies (newly out) exhausted stripmining the straight culture that they come home as prodigal children to kiss gay families, cut rainbow ribbons and do victory laps at Pride? Excuse me if I continue to bake cookies for those in need.

Out of darkness came the former governor of New Jersey, and we're so happy for his new life and booktour. Shame he didnt have the cojones to show up to Letterman, did he leave them in the turnpike reststop? I feel for anyone that has to suffer the suffocation of the closet for whatever reason, but if you want to launch some sort of Rainbow Tour (pun intended) please dont expect sainthood after your polictical ambitions were foiled behind an abandoned synagogue. You made your heterosexual bed and (got) laid in it, your role model status will have to come with some 'community' service. Sorry, too many other callers.

Lance Bass. Down. Out. And Proud. He should be, coming out is hard work. It's amazing how one weekend you're dancing at the A-House in P-Town with your shirt off and by monday morning the rumors have already made it to LA. Get your pretties shirt on and face the media. Boom, you're out, call a publicist and your Out. Now what? Again, your role model status will have to come with some'community service. Sorry, too many other callers.

Speaking of too many callers. This one we could have seen coming, or maybe she could have. We dont want the straight world to think that all gay celebrities are tax evaders, we wouldnt want to take away from your preferred impression of us as pedofiles. It's just a coincidence that Richard Hatch and Miss Cleo have this is in their past, nothing more. Welcome Miss Cleo, our ranks include Alexander the Great, Michelangelo, Sappho, and Ellen, can you use your talents to fill in some of the gaps in our history? October is GLBT history month by the bi. Our little charm bracelet of gay icons goes funky.

One role model this month for all to view. Thomas Roberts, midday news anchor for CNN came out this month at a journalist's convention. Roberts also acknowledged the support of his partner in bringing him to this decision. Consequently, CNN has reassigned Roberts to a new project. Could there be any other CNN newscaster that would feel threatened by an out reporter on the rooster/roster? This reassignment spun me 360, I loved the midday with Kathleen Kennedy and Thomas Roberts! They were nice on the eyes, their delivery was comfortable and never moody. The gay thing? Gravy.

Rabbit, rabbit.
