QUESTION: What real, legitimate, actionable good came out of Obama blowing all that money going to India.
I have a friend here in Boystown who is a drag queen. Shocking, I know.
He’s old school drag, meaning he doesn’t call himself a made-up name like Ophelia Goodies, Cyon Flare, Teri Yaki, or other queens in town…but instead is a Laura Branigan impersonator…perhaps the last of his kind.
I have tried to get him gigs with various events I am associated with, but the money is never good enough. For it to be worth his Solitaire and Gloria vamping, Dustin needs $400 just to leave the house in his makeup, wig, and sequines. Authentic “Branigan brows” are apparently expensive, and made from endangered wooly bears, it seems.
The real, actual Laura Branigan did events for less..before she died in 2005.
I just can’t help thinking about how much like a drag queen Obama is.
Taking 3,000 people to India as his entourage? Drag queen.
Demanding every room in the most expensive hotel around? Drag queen.
Bringing 34 ships with him, just “because sailors’ butts are so cute in those tight white pants”? BEYOND drag queen…and precariously into “ghost of Liberace” territory.
I just don’t see how spending a billion dollars for the Obamas to take their egofest on the road netted taxpayers a damn thing.
What was the point of burning all that cash when so many people are making such deep sacrifices just to keep food on the table?
We have a great Secretary of State who loves being as far away from what’s happening in Washington as possible. People love her wherever she goes. She takes one plane, does not demand elaborate things, and does not require 3,000 people as an entourage.
We also have ambassadors, that taxpayers pay for, in almost every country.
There is also video conferencing and telephones in the White House. I have seen pictures of these devices. Whether Obama knows how to operate them or not, they are there.
So, there is a host of alternatives for talking to foreign people wherever they may be, pursuant to whatever needs to be said, that does not involve Lifestyles of the Rich and Deliberately Out of Touch imperial tours of India and wherever else the Obamas want to take thousands of hangers-on, at great taxpayer expense, today.
Why not show some restraint?
Do Reggie Love and other athletic, young, “basketball buddies” really need to go on the next trip abroad? Aren’t there young men who work in the hotels in those countries who can keep Obama entertained at a tenth of the cost of hauling Reggie Love, Kal Penn, Justin Beiber, or other young men around for Obama?
Just because Miss Thang (or Michelle Antoinette) wants to fly somewhere exotic doesn’t mean she should.
Just because Dustin thinks he can’t possibly leave the house for less than $400 to lip synch to a gorgeous-eyebrowed dead woman doesn’t mean any fools should fork that much over for him to do it.
Some basic appreciation of finance, proper spending habits, and restraint during this Depression in the ranks of drag queens would be wonderful.
Whether they live in Boystown…or the neverending party and fantasy world that has become the White House.

I am actually very excited to see how much of a difference the enhanced spam wall will have around here in terms of blocking most spam and keeping the most prolific trolls at bay.
If you are someone who does not like registering for things, just because, or because you want to be rebellious and not play along…I get it. I am like this with registering for things too. I don’t like doing it.
BUT, I honestly have to tell you that the spam we get here just takes up too much to sort out…so something had to give, and that something is kicking in a higher and stronger spam wall.
So, I hope you follow the directions at the link above, register, and continue commenting. It seems to only take a minute according to most people who did it already on the thread.

EW.com tries to make fun of The Governor but instead creates our new favorite game: Sarah Palin Bingo
http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/11/12/sarah-palins-alaska-bingo/
This is an example of when EW.com tries to make fun of Governor Palin in some way, but instead just makes me more excited for the debut of Sarah Palin’s Alaska tomorrow.
I love their Bingo squares game for the show!
And I hope every square gets covered each episode.
Remember, the most effective way to drive the Left nuts is to take an attack of theirs, neuter it, and recycle it for your own purpose.
Here, EW.com went to all the trouble of fabricating a fun Sarah Palin’s Alaska watch party favor, that I am definitely going to use…probably not realizing what they think is a joke at the Governor’s expense is ultimately a great tool for her supporters.
Thanks, EW.com!
Keep it coming, you betcha.
More fun Beatnix holiday windows
The staff at Beatnix makes up names, back stories, and soap opera tinged melodramas for all the mannequins in their window displays.
They are very creative and intricate.
Are there any shops near you with Must-See holiday windows?
This one from Beatnix is pre-Christmas, without all the larger than life razzle dazzle to come in December…but I think it is super sweet.
Makes me think of friends visiting and having a great time during the holidays.
That, or these people are getting a jumpstart on the 2012 door to door canvassing.
RUMOR: Is Michelle Antoinette Obama taking up acting to be "a star"?
There’s a holiday production of “A Klingon Christmas Carol”, told in the original tlhIngon Hol language.
Here in Chicago, could Michelle Antoinette Obama, our fashion icon current first spouse, be gearing up to put the tlhIngon Hol into the holidays with a starring role in this reimagining of the classic?
There has to be an actual reason for all those meaty Klingon war belts (made from the hides of Denebrian slime devils) she’s been sporting since moving into the White House.
They’re hideous and even she must know it – so why wear them so ubiquitously?
It’s either a form of noble (prize) self-flatulationflagellation in penance for all the terrible things she has said about America in the past (or listened to, smiling and clapping, while Jeremiah Wright said them in Trinity United Church of Grievance-mongering Christ)…or she’s been getting used to the weight before taking the stage in this Christmas Carol.
Would you come to Chicago to see Michelle Antoinette Obama’s stage debut?
Wonder if we could get an HB group rate.
MISCHIEF: Make a "Damn It, Janet" video spoof of some kind with Obama and crew in undies doing Rocky Horror underwear clad nonsense in airports
Do you know the song, “Damn It, Janet”, from the Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Glee just did a cover of it that plays endlessly here in Boystown.
Whenever I hear it, I picture Janet Napolitano as Frankenfurter, Obama in his stained tightywhities as Brad, Nancy Pelosi in the Susan Saranden role, and Harry Reid as Gladys Kravitz from Bewitched…because he looks just like her.
It would be fun to rework that song into a parody of TSA patdowns…with photoshops of the Obama officials involved as Rocky Horror characters…and sing a long words on the screen for the alternate, new lyrics.
This is kind of what happens at Sidetrack during Showtunes nights…where guys have worked out alternate lines to classic songs to parody one thing or another.
“Downtown” from Little Shop is resung as “Boystown” with references to Nookie’s, the Red Line, Oprah, cross dressing, and all manner of Chicago gay community tidbits.
“Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” became “Don’t Cry for Me I’m A Diva”, a commentary on Madonna’s career through the years.
The “Augie Song” from Best Little Whorehouse, which features bare butted football jocks horsing around full frontal in the lockerroom showers, is mostly just quietly enjoyed drop-jawed just the way it is. No alterations required. And please no talking or interrupting until they all put on their pants. At which point, you can just sigh loudly with everyone else.
Let’s see if we can pull up the “Damn It, Janet” lyrics…look for lines to change about TSA screening…and use something I learned by hanging out at Sidetrack singing along to showtunes with regulars to really ridicule the Obama administration on this.
QUESTION: What would happen to the TSA patdowns if it became the norm for people to make pornographic noises while getting them?
Here in Boystown, sexiness is an element of everything.
Equality Illinois ran an early/absentee voter drive called “Vote Naked”, featuring Chicago strippers and porn stars naked…save for strategically cast ballots…voting from home Lady Gaga-diva style. It was instrumental in GOTV efforts in Boystown, giving Pat Quinn the margin he needed to defeat his GOP challenger (who was inaccurately and unfairly called a bigot repeatedly).
Right now, TPAN – an HIV/AIDS charity – is engaged in the Barlesque fundraiser…where a bartender from almost every club on Halsted had burlesque photos taken of him, sequentially getting down to nothing. The more money people give, the more photos of him get posted on the Barlesque site to encourage the flow of donations.
Sex sells well here, as these initiatives prove.
I wonder what a little Boystown sexiness would do to the TSA in the airports, regarding Janet Napolitano’s bizarre alter ego of “Ophelia Goodies”?
What would happen, just say, if professional actors of all ages started moaning, gasping, and generally re-enacting Herbal Essence commercials while being patted down by Napolitano’s grope squads?
Of course, others in line would film these antics for YouTube.
Just imagine if large groups could be organized to protest these gross gropes by shouting “That feels good!”, “More, more, more!”, and “Don’t stop till I’ve had enough!” as loudly as humanly possible through the pat downs?
What if people immediately left security after a pat down, got back in line, and said “I want to take your mustache ride again!”?
What’s former Senator Larry Craig doing now?
This is the kind of stuff he liked getting up to in airport bathrooms…well, Mary, now you can get your jollies courtesy of Homeland Security Gropenfuhrer Ophelia Goodies.
Hilariously, in pure BizarroWorld fashion, what Larry Craig was arrested FOR doing in that Minneapolis bathroom is what YOU will be arrested for should you NOT allow the TSA to do things to you – or your elderly mother or child – that you slapped Brad Westwick clean across his peach fuzzed face for attempting when he tried to get his mits under your poofy prom dress.
Whenever the government overreaches into absurdity like this, the most effective counter from the governed is to publicly humiliate everyone who is behind these Napolitano Specials…which is what I want to start calling aggressive sexual massages in seedy parlors with happy endings on the menu.
Let’s get perverts and lonely old men to start saying, “Went down to Paradise Sauna and had that little Romanian guy give me a full on Napolitano Special. Wasn’t as good as the one I get for free at the airport, but those guys are government trained professionals, so I get that”.
Humiliate Napolitano.
Sing “Toucha, toucha, toucha” from Rocky Horror while waiting in line.
Ask the TSA screeners if they do private parties.
Do your best Meg Ryan “Sally” whenever you meet a hairy Napolitano Groper headed to your nether regions the next time you’re passing through security en route to Amsterdam.
In Boystown, sexiness is used every day to grab attention and get results.
It could be very effective – and, be honest, FUN – to just let loose in those lines and moan and squeal like you never knew you had that in you.
Next time I fly, if I get patted down, I am going to do this, I swear. If I am not already on some Obama Administration hit list after everything HB has done to ridicule these inept tyrants the last two years, I would be stunned. So it’s not like making this scene could adversely affect me any more.
Bring it.
