Just when you thought that you’ve seen everything:
George Mason University senior Ryan Allen dresses in drag and doesn’t mind being called a queen — homecoming queen, to be exact. Allen, who is gay and performs in drag at nightclubs in the region, said he entered the homecoming contest as a joke, competing as Reann Ballslee, his drag queen persona.
Large portions of the crowd cheered as Allen, wearing a gold-sequined top, accepted the tiara and the Ms. Mason 2009 sash
But he considers the victory one of his happiest moments and proof that the suburban Washington, D.C., school famous for its run to the Final Four a few years back celebrates its diverse student body.
The contest was half talent judging and half voting by the student body. Allen received the most votes but doesn’t know how he scored in the talent competition, in which he performed in zebra-print pants and lip-synched to Britney Spears.
At least Senators McConnell, Alexander, Cornyn, Thune, Inhofe, Graham, Murkowski, Corker, Burr, Representative Boehner and of course Chairman Steele all “want him back in Washington.”
I found this interview rather amusing and a different approach at an attempt to promote abstinence among teenagers.
In an interview with Fox, Bristol Palin and son Tripp and Grandmother Sarah Palin discuss the ups and downs of teen pregnacy. Bristol Palin wants teenagers to take her advice on motherhood. Ms. Palin says, “kids should just wait. It’s — I don’t know. It’s not glamorous at all.”
She also notes that there is no stopping sex, so for all you soon-to-be teenage mothers out there, you should know that for Bristol, telling her parents was harder than labor.
I should also just mention for pure amusement that there were several unreliable claims during the 2008 Presidential campaign that Bristol was the mother of Trig (Sarah Palin’s youngest son and Bristol’s brother – not to be confused with Tripp, Bristol’s son and Sarah Palin’s grandson).

These Lay-Abouts Will Get More Funding When They Get To Work!
Flash forward to 1992. There was an even better reason to cut the military budget. The Soviet beast had been felled without firing a shot. Freedom had won, Germans were kissing each other in the Potsdamer Platz and the Russians were drinking themselves to death within their own borders. Why bother maintaining the Cold War military when we had no enemies to fight?
It is now the glorious year 2009 and we have a new Democratic administration. Barack Obama, on cue, has made it clear he wants the military budget slashed by more than 10%. Nothing new to see here considering, hell, Bubba cut the military by a lot more than that. Of course, for those keeping track, there is a minor difference between the here and now and the halcyon days of pre-Lewinski America; it so happens we are in the midst of a two-front war.
It begs the question, how utterly depraved must you be to cut funding to the military during a war? It is almost unthinkable as it is so obviously stupid. What type of jerk-off cretin would undercut his military in the middle of a fight? I had hoped, against all real logic I suppose, that THIS ONE would have some sense and break ranks with his treacherous, duplicitous and seditious cohorts. Imagine if FDR had decided to spend less on the war effort to build new resort proctology clinics. “Sorry Georgie Patton, can you make do with only two armored divisions instead of four? Don’t feel bad chum, the Germans have it worse! They’re using Soviet POW’s to haul around their artillery and are eating horses!” Who needs to win, we have a stimulus package to pass!
