As if we needed any more proof that the State hates women. And of course they go after black women hardest.

I love that video so much. And adore Lil’ Nas. It hadn’t occurred to me to speculate on his preferences... but he’s just SO HOT... and I always fall for the gay dudes, so I might have known. Love him!

Aww, that’s so sweet that your kiddo sings it to go to sleep.

The chaps are a dead giveaway too. You want to see hott cowboys? I recommend the Castro Street Fair and the Folsom Street Fair.

That’s Mr Rogers’ mom speaking. Just for the record. She always told him to look for the people who were helping, because there were always people who were helping.

Olympic POETRY?! My grandfather was a poet, but somehow I have never heard of this! I suppose the Vogons came in and ruined it for everyone.

I’mma have to dock a point or two here for underpants over leggings. But, OK.

TBH, I’m kinda shocked that Oregon didn’t make the cut. Or Iowa!
