The conversation about marriage and it’s place in a society that includes gay people moves on…
The lady speaking Spanish steals this by the way… The rest of them are a bit insincere, if you ask me. (But that’s just because I am racist!)
The Girls are Back in Town. It’s been a while since we had a full complement of sassy showgirls of dubious gender identity on the show… But this week we do! Plus there is a snowball of €800 as well as other prizes to be won. See you there!
Can you smell the grease from there?!
I’ve known Una Gibney for years (since we were both six or something) and she’s performed at the George a bunch of times. She’s always great fun but she also gives everything she’s got to every performance – no matter how small. She’s looking for your support to get her to a pretty BIG performance. One in front of all of Europe representing Ireland at this year’s Eurovision. Alongside Jedward, Donna McCaul and two other hopefuls (who I can’t think of right now, Meryl Streep style), Una (duetting with David Shannon) has an Ireland Eurovision 2012 song entry and she’ll be performing it at Bingo on Sunday. Here‘s the song:
A mother, who is also a politician – and a Republican at that! – tells her Legislature why she believes gay marriage must be introduced… It’s kinda American and cheesy but there are some funny moments. I could be cynical about Republican politicians and point out that it’s prolly only cuz her daughter is a lesbian that she’s made the “shift in conscience” to support gay marriage. But that wouldn’t be fair. Even though, personal experience of a minority is the fastest way to remove prejudice, it doesn’t always happen. Former US Vice President – and major toad- Dick Cheney didn’t shift his bad attitude towards the gays & lesbians even though his genes produced one!
Sadly, most republicans talk more like this (Joan Crawford slapping has been added to prevent loss of braincells during viewing):

Work on the new World Trade Center in New York is sprinting along. The official Twitter account (@WTCProgress) just announced that the steel frame for the building has already reached the 92nd floor. The new tower will have 104 floors, making it smaller than the original Twin Towers but taller than I am when I wear the inserts that Tom Cruise wears to make him look the same size as Katie Holmes. This is what the new World Trade Center will look like (in context – and with Photoshop weather). What are your thoughts?
I think it’s ok but nothing special. And it’s dull compared to Asian skyscrapers. For me, the real star of the New York skyline has always been the Chrysler Building…
