BBW, LGBT, DCCC and Tom DeLay, the Cry Baby

This past Saturday evening, my friends and I decided to have a wine and cheese party in our hotel room. How could we forget that days in would be hosting Boo 2! If you must know, Boo 2 is a celebration at the Crazed Inn of, eh hem, larger women and the men who love them - in Halloween costumes. It was really quite frightening. I looked like Mary-Kate Olson on a bad day compared to these women! My friends Josh had quite an interesting experience. He was hanging out outside, smoking a cigar, trying to chill the best way Josh knows how, when suddenly a gigantic figure descended upon him. The woman, wearing at outfit that assumed the shape of putting toothpaste back into the tube, approached Josh. He maintained his outward demeanor of calmness, meanwhile freaking out on the inside. The woman asked "Hey, do you mind if I have a puff on your stogie?" Josh, always being the gentleman said "Uh, ok, sure" as he passed her the cigar. To this, the woman replied, "No, I don't mean that stogie!". Josh was quite traumatized.
We've had a new addition to our group - a wonderful man who shall remain nameless, but he is a Chief of Staff on the Hill. Thanks to his fantastic connections, I have an EXCLUSIVE INSIDE SCOOP! Tom DeLay is suing Gov. Howard dean over an ad that can be viewed on www.retiretomdelay.com. Funny how the asshole is all for tort reform, yet he is suing over a factual ad. The goal is that the ad will be aired for free all over the cable news channels. Wawww, wawww, boo hoo! Can't take your own medicine Tom? Would you like some cheese with your whine? I'm all torn up about it.
Yesterday, our teams attended two rallies on behalf of DCCC. The first was a Stonewall Democrats event (google Stonewall Riots NYC and you'll get 411 on the history of the name). Free food and a day with the gays! You can't really beat that - except if this were in DC, the free food would have entailed more than a cook-out without even cheese for the burgers! The gay and lesbian activists here aren't very hot (no wonder that some of my friends claim 30 is gay death - seemed like some of these guys had been reincarnated more than a few times - although the non-activist lesbians are pretty hot), but the gay area in Dallas is cool - complete with an S&M store for leather daddies, novelty stores, etc. We asked if we could put signs in the various establishment's windows. We're hoping that the owner of the leather store gave into our pleading.... MF is trying to reach all demographics! Fetish people vote too!
For two hours between the LGBT rally, we attended an "interfaith" rally. If interfaith means black protestant churchgoers, then by all means, it was an interfaith event. That was interesting, but much more boring than the LGBT event. The LGBT event was a fantastic change, as everyone in the neighborhood is an MF supporter. And these people didn't think that Kerry was going to teach homosexuality in schools - a refreshing change.
After the rallies, we decided to head over to our favorite part of town - Greenville. I introduced the caipirinha to the bar tender. Of course my group was smitten with the drink. After my group drank about $70.00 worth of caipirinhas, I convinced the bartender to put them on the menu permanently. I asked him to call it "The Kelly". He actually said he would consider it! Anyway, last night quickly, uh, ignited romantic, I mean, political passions, for many of the people who partied. All I'm going to say is call the Nookie Patrol.
Today we attempted to canvass in a Typhoon. We were swimming through the neighborhoods accomplishing NOTHING since the rain was debilitating. Although that is not completely true, we did accomplish something important - our group is back in tact! Rob was sent to another group, which had us all distraught. Thanks to some smooth talking by our newest member, Rob has returned! YAY. We feel whole and complete again.
