Simply speaking, private profiteering and public security are a dangerous mix.
First explained by President Eisenhower in 1961, (view video below) he noted the rise of the armament industry of vast proportions and the danger of unwarranted influence by the military industrial complex.
“The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals.”
Cindy McCain’s outfit at the RNC cost about $300,000.00 — Yes, $300k.
Also, at around $4,000.00 for her suit, Laura Bush is doing pretty well for a librarian.
You know, they’re down-to-earth middle-class people.
We wouldn’t expect anyone headlining at EITHER the DNC or RNC to wear off-the-rack clothes, but don’t pretend to be “of the people” when you live so high-and-mighty above them.
This is really the ONLY thing you need to watch to make up your mind about who to vote for. The other news networks simply don’t/can’t have the cojones to tell things as they really are.
Harvey Milk was the first openly gay man to serve in public office of any meaning. His life, and tragic death, spurred the initiative for gay rights in a way unseen since the Stonewall riots nearly 10 years prior.
Here is the film’s trailer, directed by Gus Van Sant (of Good Will Hunting, and My Own Private Idaho), starring Sean Pean as Harvey Milk (a performance sure to garner him yet another Oscar nomination), and James Franco as his lover.
And to answer everyone’s question, the answer is yes: Penn and Franco do have nude love scenes, and it’s quite unabashed in its depiction of the rainbow that is GLBT life.

We’re not quite ‘back’ yet, as our podcast administrator still has a lot to do before she gets settled in and back to business…but she could post this, so here it is: Ms. Erika Andrews, cinema verité comedy.

The Drag Queen Posse is in the middle of moving cross-country. Well, some are already there, but some others are hauling ass over there too…namely the bitch who keeps the podcast site up for you all!
We might have the time to blog with interesting tidbits here and there, but we simply do not have the time (nor the space left for this month) to keep posting new stuff. If you’d like to see more every month, we either need to start charging, which we don’t want to do, or please be generous and donate to our tip jar — even just $1 goes a long way to keep this podcast going.
We’ll be back THE FIRST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER WITH TONS MORE GREAT VIDEOS! We have more pageant footage, and San Diego Pride 2008 with even more naughtiness with the Helix Studios bois that we just can’t post on YouTube! Plus, tons more video of us roaming around and causing all sorts of disorderly conduct! So stay tuned, bitches, and don’t change that dial!
Once we’re settled in our new digs, we’ll be bringing you some more outrageous raunchy fierceness from San Diego and Las Vegas — you won’t wanna’ miss it!
Lastly, thank you to all of you who have kept mentioning us to your friends and so on…we’ve seen astronomical hits on our videos and we couldn’t be happier to entertain you. Our website counter doesn’t show all the people who download our videos, but through the magic of the Internets we see all (and grateful for your comments and emails!) — and we’re very happy that people quite literally around the world (even in places like Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Japan, China, Thailand, Taiwan, etc.) are getting a kick out of all this. We promise to keep bringing you fun stuff to watch, and with our new pals at Improv Everywhere, well…it’s bound to be interesting! Overall, over 100,000 unique video hits and counting — help us to make it to one MILLION by next year!
Don’t crucify us, we’ll be back in just a little over a week!
The work just keeps getting better. Check out this video of “Emily.” Emily is not real. She is wholly created in a computer. She is the next-generation of digital visual effects (stunt persons, “youth” versions of older actors and vice-versa, et al.) and other applications. These are sometimes referred to as SynThespians (Synthetic Thespians). Pretty cool stuff…porn is the next frontier we’d imagine…how could it not?
Expect to see a LOT more of things like this in the upcoming James Cameron sci-fi epic (coming in 3D, no less), titled: Avatar.
The craziness continues as The Drag Queen Posse walks through San Diego Pride 2008 to find first: The Helix Studios Tent where all the porn bois are! What do we encounter on the way? Whom do we encounter in the throngs of people?
