I guess I shouldn't be surprised in RuPaul's stunning "two-fer": his Christmas card where he portrays both Michele and Barak Obama. I've known Ru for just about twenty years and for nearly all of them he always had a vision of the road he was on.

CNBC's financial gurus left me with a knot in my stomach when they said today that--with the Federal Reserve lending money now at nearly 0%--the government has thrown everything they have into the mess. "There's nothing left they can do", one said. "If things don't pick up, it will be the end of history." With swindles and corruption mounting on a daily basis, one has to wonder just how kind history will be to us. The best idea around is that the dreaded Y2K had a hidden effect; it didn't stop the machines, it made us crazy with greed in an eight-year binge on bounty. It seemed all too simpler twenty years ago when it was just a binge on booty--Star Booty, to be exact.
