Dan The Magic Homo
Since the rest of the Sadly, No! office staff is apparently off on some tequila-lime-meth bender and likely won’t be back for some days, it has devolved upon to me to keep this place open — and without much time during the day to do it. So let’s go looking for easy targets of ridicule. Hmmm. Who first pops to mind? Who else? The Gaytriots, two gay guys whose mission in life seems to be to convince straight Republicans that there are gays who enjoy being wedge issues and second-class citizens as long as they are protected from the evil Mooslims, the Kennedy clan, abortion clinics, and higher taxes.
In his latest post, Dan — the “GayPatriotWest” — engages in major handwringing over the purchase of a $43 DVD player, but, having made the splurge, is now convinced that he has the bestest technology ever to play his old Bette Davis movies. (If I made that up, I’d be accused of perpetrating a bigoted stereotype. In this gay household, we went BluRay in order to watch movies with lots of car chases and explosions in high definition.)
But we hit pay dirt with Dan’s next post: “GayPatriot LA Outing to El Coyote” That’s right. Dan has just torn out his last quarter-ounce of self-respect, beaten it to death with a pair of spiked high heels, and left it out front for pickup in a trash bag already containing his dignity and his last 15 I.Q. points. For those of you who just got back from two months in a cave in Afghanistan, El Coyote is a popular L.A. restaurant where a member of its board of directors made a contribution in support of Proposition 8 which made gay marriage illegal in California. This led to an outcry (and a boycott) from the restaurant’s substantial gay clientele.
We need make clear that all gay people do not completely politicize their lives as have these angry activists.
Please e-mail me to let me know whether you prefer we do this for dinner on New Year’s Day or next Sunday, January 4.
Oh, and to encourage business, once we set the date, I’m buying margaritas for the first five people to show up!
And, hence, the “Magic Homo” reference. Poor Dan is the gay man who shows up to assuage straight guilt, to convince straight people that it’s okay to treat him differently because, after all, he’s always got his collection of Bette Davis movies to fall back on. Every sty has, it seems, the pig that writes a letter of apology to Oscar Mayer for not being quite plump enough.
Oh, and about that trip to El Coyote, it would be wrong, just wrong for anyone from here to go. Instead, just remember to continue ratfucking the Gaytriots’ Très Très Très Très Fabulously Grandissimo blOgress Divinely Delicious Diva 20009 contest by voting for Pam Geller, who seems to be having a meltdown right now that there are still women and children left alive in the Gaza Strip. Pam has almost three thousand votes, effectively stealing the tiara from Tammy Bruce who might well have won but for our efforts. Tammy should really demand that Pam, like Kathy Shaidle, be disqualified because of all the votes she has received from all us gay abortionists.

I’m guessing the “boycott bust” will be a, well, bust. After all, outside the 2700+ votes Pammy the Juggernaut got, the total votes in the Blogress poll are less than 1400 (and Pharyngula must account for some of them). And this is after multiple days of voting so many (most?) of the votes are from the same individuals. So one would be stretching it (so to speak) to say teh Gay Patriots are widely read.
Besides, if one has to wring one’s hands over a $43 DVD player, one’s economic clout is, probably, somewhat limited.
But hey, they’re getting support from self-loathing gays in Philly so maybe I’m all wet.

I keep thinking of the old Star-Kist tuna commercials, where Charlie the Tuna was begging the fisherman to hook him and turn him into a canned meat delight in fresh spring water. He was always sooooo disappointed when they lowered the hook with “Sorry, Charlie” hanging from a sign on it. Except we have to flip the script:
“But Dan, the GOP doesn’t want gays that taste good, they want gays with GOOD TASTE!”
(Good enough taste not to frighten the horses with their limp-wristed mincing and asking for their silly “human rights” and all… What do they think they are? Human?)

I guess the Authoritarian Conservative Wingnut psychology can exist in the same people who are victims of it. Dan realizes that the Repugs don’t really mind Homos or Blacks or Feminists, its just a tool they use to advance their “Righteous Cause” (hey I made a pun!). He knows, or thinks he knows, that when Minority X are rounded up and placed in those concentration camps Haliburton built, HE won’t be one of them.

Hostess: I’m sorry sir but I need to know how many tables to reserve. It’s a very busy night.
GP: Well, I invited anyone who’s gay to show up, so I’m not sure. Couldn’t we just push a few tables together when we show up?
Hostess: …
GP: Hello?
Owner: Hello? This is the owner.
GP: Excellent! My name is Gay Patriot and I want to show my support for your establishment by inviting all my gay friends to show up at your restaurant. We all think your rights to be gay-free are much more important that our rights to be gay.
Owner: Thanks, boy.
GP: So can I reserve a few tables for New Yera’s Eve?
Owner: We don’t like to serve your kind, so no.

Internalised homophobia is a brutal thing. It’s a wonder he even managed to make his way out of the closet. I don’t doubt that he likes to slip back in there from time to time, to smell the comforting mildew and wrap himself in old roll-necks.
Anyway, California’s far too far away for me, even to go to a restaurant that’s awesome. Certainly too far to go to one that’s apparently completely unremarkable.

I can’t find much of anything on the web declaring the boycott over, but the person who donated to Yes on 8 resigned and is no longer with the restaurant. I’m assuming that the boycott is de facto over, and members of the GLBT community will be flocking back to the restaurant in coming days. How does Dan propose to distinguish his patronage of the restaurant as a protest of the boycott from the renewed patronage by people who are returning due to the success of the boycott?

The best solution to the problem of a wife not being in the mood is so simple …,That solution is for a wife who loves her husband — if she doesn’t love him, mood is not the problem — to be guided by her mind, not her mood, in deciding whether to deny her husband sex.
It’s interesting how Prager only fields this issue from the male persepctive, and assumes that the women is completely subservient to his needs.
Actually, not that interesting, come to think of it.

El Coyote is probably the most inexplicably popular restaurant in Los Angeles. The food is mushy and mediocre and the margaritas leave quite a bit to be desired. This town is full of awesome Mexican joints, yet for some reason El Coyote is always packed, so much so that there is often a traffic jam for several blocks west of Beverly and Fuller because of punters waiting to valet park there. I just don’t get it.

Of course, most women never regard it as hypocritical and rightly regard it as admirable when they meet their child’s or parent’s or friend’s needs when they are not in the mood to do so. They do what is right in those cases, rather than what their mood dictates. Why not apply this attitude to sex with one’s husband?

Well, duh! Getting your panties in a twist over “Happy Holidays” is in no way being politically correct!
Just as showing any interest in supporting conservative issues is in no way politicizing your life.
(I don’t begrudge the conservatives their double standards, just as I don’t begrudge them any of their logical fallacies, their sophistries and their oh so tortured rationalizations. After all, take their dishonest tactics away, and look at how little they have left. But I think they should be a little less defensive and snitty when the lefties call them on it. The mainstream media never seem to notice, so what’s the big deal with a tiny bit of legitimate criticism from the lefty blogoshpere? If they were sincere, they could use our critiques to come up with better talking points and – oh. I think I see the problem.)

Now, admittedly, I’m not the most proficient at sexual odds and ends here, but, I’m pretty sure the desire *to* fuck is considered to be a lower, base, feeling. In which case, the desire to *not* fuck is in fact, if we take the fucking standard (read that as a complete phrase) the conservatives yell at us every chance they get, a higher code of living.
In other words, Dennis, not fucking = higher code, fucking = one’s feeling.

Of course not. Dennis knows you wimmins don’t have any desire for any kind of pleasure ever and therefore don’t have any sex drive. Not wanting to be used as a Kleenex for a man to jerk off into is just a sign of laziness. And obviously us Real MenTM have nearly uncontrollable libidos and it takes heroic restraint not to fuck everything with an appropriately gauged hole. Otherwise we wouldn’t be Real MenTM.
Wait, what counts as “defiling”? Does it involve tongues?
Giving a woman pleasure as anything but an unfortunate consequence of impregnating her? Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s defiling.

In Prager’s world, the men protect the wife and make the money and the wives spend it. Therefore the man can never refuse to give his wife money or refuse to protect her. It’s his duty and obligation. So if she tells him to beat up someone who insulted her or hit on her, he would be obligated to do it. If she wanted money he would have to hand it over, even if he didn’t want to. If she decided to sign him up to fight in Iraq he can’t say no becasue it’s his duty.

No, it’s simpler than that. The only people they hate more than leftists are gay leftists, because gay leftists care more about the rights of transsexual Palestinian abortionists than about the imminent invasion of West Hollywood by AK-47-wielding Islamists. Or something.
It’s consistent with the central organizing principle of modern-day right-wing activism: the only measure of an initiative’s worthiness is the extent to which it pisses off Teh Left™. Nothing else matters. At all. Ever.

JK47 sed: El Coyote is probably the most inexplicably popular restaurant in Los Angeles.
I could never quite figure that one out either. Back in the day, the margies were big & strong, while the food was, as you say, mushy & tasteless. But it was located pretty much between the Fox-TV studios on Sunset & the 101, Universal, Warners, Disney and the proliferation of agencies on Wilshire in BevHills. So it was a good middle ground meeting place, it rambled a bit, so you could get some privacy to hatch plots & scam on D-girls. But the decent Mexican place across the street (useta have the best Oaxacan mole sauces in West L.A.) went under. So they started watering down the margies & cranking up the prices, and people paid it anyway. The fact that it is still popular all these years later is a sad commentary on the truth of all the snickering comments people make about airheaded Angelenos.
Meanwhile, a perfectly acceptable alternative for meeting is Marix’ Tex-Mex, where the margies at least have some flavor and aren’t directly outta bottom-rail tequila & a jug of half-rotted Last Call strawberry-flavored sludge.
Thread hijack: best Meskin in LA? I vote for Paco’s Tacos in Culver City & Westchester. The carnitas are strong enough that, left unattended, they will hang your drywall & affix Raiders decals to your rear windshield.

Similar story here. We’re planning to keep our current setup another year or two and then look into the flatscreens. By then they might cost little enough for us to be willing to get one, and I’m hoping to convince my wife that we should just drop the satellite dish and just use it to watch movies. IMO it would be worth having a 16×9 screen just for that. Even a 40″ HDTV would show the widescreen flicks much larger than our current set with the letterboxing and all.

Is DP a (lapsed) Catholic? Because the one time mr opie_jeanne and I were dragged to a Marriage Encounter (Do Not Ask) the Catholics were the only ones agonizing over the wives saying “no”. There were eight of us from the same Methodist church and a couple of Lutherans at this Catholic retreat (they had a few spaces empty), and we all thought the subject of “I Feel Guilty When I Say No” was very funny, even the couple in their 70s from our group laughed out loud. We all considered sex a mutual sharing, not a duty of one gender to the other. Not that they liked sex less than we did, but their attitude about it was decidedly different. And I discovered a long time ago that sex is a great cure for a headache. Just had our 39th anniversary on the 27th. Yay Us!

Mikey, give this guy your webcam, stat!

I recently bought a $30 DVD-ROM.
My thoughts:
1.) I hope the place is open.
2.) Good. The place is open.
3.) I hope I have enough PATA cables to hook it up.
4.) I should get dinner.
And that’s *it*.

Just a thought, I had it while indulging in recreational botany.
Could GPW be a methodically(perhaps maniacally) dedicated piece of performance art?
? His “I’ll buy margs for the first 5 people to show up” – could he have known the offending BOD member had already hightailed, and thought it would be fun to both support the place post-boycott, AND make a ass out of his character and adherents who show up?
? The thing that made me start thinking along these lines: a contest for “Blogress”. What’s that mean, what’s the derivation? Most made up words have some tenuous connection to actual words, like visioning and proactive.
Blog / Princess?
Then I split up the words, and got:
Bl – Ogress. (No, not Bi-Ogress, it’s a “L”, but little.)
I suppose it could have been accidental.
But there it is, in plain sight – whether it’s hidden there I just don’t know. I’m pretty sure “ogress” isn’t used as a compliment, or as a fond reference. It’s certainly not used to indicate compassion or reasonableness as character traits.
Well, just wanted to mention it, see what other twisted and more intelligent minds thought.
Slow day, back to reading Fun with String monthly.

It’s really much simpler.
Actor/Actress. Blogger/Blogress.
Of course, he spells it “Blogresss” but I chalk that up to having his education funded by Ronald Reagan’s budget.

“best Meskin in LA?”
I vote for The Gardens of Taxco. But (a) I haven’t lived in LA since 1997, and (2) I used to think El Cholo was pretty fine, till some people told me it wasn’t.

Just checked out your blog for the first time after seeing it in a list of “so-called” liberal best blogs. Bullshit! After reading your wingnut comments about Dan and ElCoyote, you sound like just one more knuckle-dragger.

“So-called” liberal or “so-called” best or “so-called” blog?
And “why” the quotes”?”

Oh, that’s right! It’s already the new year in the land of our socialist Yurpeen overlords. Happy New Year to everybody, except people whose year starts on a different day, in which case belated or beearlied Happy New Year.
If only it were the only idiot troll. That one morphbeast will undoubtedly slime its way back in to screech and holler and tell us how unworthy we are of the 22 hours of attention it devotes to this site every day. I think of it the way the audience of a certain TV show was described in William Gibson’s Idoru:
…best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It’s covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, … no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels an a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections.

So let me get this straight: masturbation is the equivalent of rape?
In Prager’s case, this is true.

I useta have to do the “Eye on America” stories where I’d go to said Topeka trailerpark to interview these mutants. Thanks for bringing those memories right back to the surface.
Suggested addendum: “The creature also drops out of high school and impregnates snowbilly VP candidates. And their daughters.”

Phew. It’s “One Time Only”. And it has a strange fondness for “quotation marks”.
Does it also have a “laser” on the moon, I wonder?
