\nIt’s a full moon! Let’s go crazy!<\/p>\n

I don’t know where to start–celebrating idiocy or celebrating Ricky Martin. Oh heck, let’s go Ricky! I saw El Vez, the Mexican Elvis<\/a> do a great slow creepy version of Living’ La Vida Loca<\/em>, and it was then I realized how utterly dark the lyrics are for this huge hit.<\/p>\n

Anyway, thank you Ricky Martin for coming out and giving hope and inspiration to lots of your fans and their families. Hopefully your honesty will help other LGBT kids, especially in Hispanic families. And hopefully there will be a time when sexuality will be accepted simply with love, grace and ease.<\/p>\n

Now on to the crazies: White supremacist Glenn Miller is running for U.S. Senator as a write-in candidate from Missouri <\/a>and bought ad time<\/a> on KMBZ-AM in Kansas City and on other stations in other Missouri media markets. Under Federal Communications Commission rules and federal law, a \u201clegally qualified candidate\u201d must be given reasonable, uncensored access to broadcast airtime if he or she can pay the cost, and since Miller qualified and has the cash, the ads<\/a> are running, but with a disclaimer. KMBZ program director Neil Larrimore told the Kansas City Star:<\/p>\n

\n

The company is required by federal law to run these spots and to do so without any edits. Our hands are tied.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you have the stomach, you can click the links to hear the ads. They are repugnant. Ugh.<\/p>\n

And then today Glenn Beck’s even less witty stand-in Doc Tompson tried to be like all satirical and funny by saying the tanning bed tax included in the health care reform bill is racist because “dark skinned people” don’t use tanning beds.<\/p>\n

Yup, full moon.<\/p>\n
