No Laughing Matter

"Whose picture is on a Susan B. Anthony dollar?"

"I have no idea."

"How much is a Susan B. Anthony dollar worth?"

"I don't know, ten dollars?"

"Is there such a thing as a two dollar bill?"

"Yes, I have a couple, actually. Is that how much that Susan B. Anthony dollar is worth?"

"You said ten dollars ... so how many two dollar bills would it take to equal a Susan B. Anthony dollar?"

"Four, yeah, four."


I paraphrased from having heard it just now without my transcription tablet handy, but that was the gist. Leno and his Jaywalking segments always seem to get quite a laugh. I personally never find riffraff imbecility very amusing, actually rather frightening instead.

  1. I agree, they creep me out. College kids...holy nutcase.

  2. The fact that they even made it to college is what's so scary. Crap. And some of them might even vote, risky that to say the least.

  3. I know. It's scary when Jay goes on the street. Not saying I am a "wisenheimer" myself, but it is shocking at times to see who he bumps into...makes me feel really smart, informed and on top of things. :)

  4. I know they pick the stupidest of the stupid for the laughs, but the fact that there are enough of them out there for a regular segment is even more than a little bit disconcerting.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell - Just Do It

Like most other gay folks, I was gratified the other night to hear President Obama announce at the State of the Union address his intention to put repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell on the agenda for 2010. Of course we were all hyped when we heard it the first time, too. Back when he was pandering the rainbow coalition for votes during his campaign, pledging to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. To start working toward getting rid of DADT during his first year as president was part of that promise. Not that he has totally snubbed us, I guess, but tagging him a "fierce advocate" is probably a stretch . It's really little wonder that much of the queer community reacted approvingly, but also with a fair amount of skepticism, the other night after hearing him vow again to do what he vowed once before with nothing gotten done so far. This DADT thing, I wouldn't think, should be such a big ordeal to get over and done with in short order. Even military p...

Why's There Even You and Me? A Personal Diversion

Obama still ba-rocks and McCain still, um ... is a dick. Okay. That's the extent of my political rumination today. Although I may be totally off on both counts, I wouldn't know. I honestly paid zero attention to realpolitik today so I have no clue what might have happened really. I have other more personal and most disconcerting things on my mind. I'm kind of creeped out. I have a stalker ... don't laugh. I really do. I think his name is Mike but I'm not even sure about that. He was probably lying when I asked, whatever the hell it was he said, but that's what I think I remember. I was drunk at the time. Admittedly my fault. I'm an idiot sometimes, no new tale to tell there. I don't recall exactly how I met the guy in the first place - it was a couple of years ago - but I do know that I willingly gave up my address. With directions, no less. Just in case. Damn the hooch. What was I thinking? Anyway, so here's the deal. I had him over a time or two ea...

Anal Sex How-to (!) is why Gay Marriage is Wrong (?)

I find a lot of things funny, but I don't usually really laugh about them; even my online LOLs are fake more often than not, I'll admit. But honestly, who can possibly resist, at the very least, to giggle here? "We're talking about taking the penis of one man and putting it into the rectum of another man and wiggling it around in excrement. And you have to think, I'm not sure, would I allow that to be done to me?" LOL, and I really do mean it this time, even the "OL" part. I'm not sure it would be quite as funny without the video to go along with that, so I am posting it below just in case. You've probably seen it already. It seems to have gone viral, this video of New Hampshire's state representative Nancy Elliott explaining anal sex to the dimwitted ones in session there with her, arguing for why the state's same-sex marriage law should be repealed, five weeks after its passing . It's hardly worth mentioning that she is Rep...
