Still smiling over “Boy Culture” author Matthew Rettenmund laying the smackdown on rapper Fabolous for starting last week’s asinine Twitter trend, #uknowhowiknowuregay. Knock that crap off, my misspelled friend, or we’ll start #uknowhowiknowurahasbeen:
Mind you, if we were to play that stupid game, one way to tell would be to see if you’re watching ‘Glee.’ I tried to avoid the new high-school-musical show but its sly and snarky tone from ‘Nip/Tuck’ creator Ryan Murphy is completely irresistible:

But not everyone’s a fan: one British farmer has become so fed up with gay men using his private property as a cruising ground, he’s unleashed his hogs to roam the grounds, making the phrase “sex pig” disturbingly literal.

If there’s one tune I’m really sick of though, it’s the endless and insane health care “debate” from the US — fortunately, this quick video makes short work of it (nicely done!) and, if Michael Stipe decides to stick his nose in, I’m always happy to hear R.E.M.:
And finally, a little something that surprised me — I generally avoid modern country music like the plague (usually because of crap like this) but along comes Brad Paisley with a big heaping slab of American liberalism set to a guitar strum and the delight of having just discovered the synthesizer:
Aww, warm fuzzies all around. Cheers, Brad, I want that little girl to be president too…
