Wow. So much to talk about in last night’s episode of “Glee.” You know I watch it all for you guys. Well, also because it’s wildly entertaining, and any time I can turn something interesting or fun into part of my job, I’m in.

Since the beginning of the season, there have been two election stories going on: the one for a congressional seat, and the one for senior class president of McKinley High.

The congressional race between evil cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, an unnamed pizza magnate, and gay guy Kurt’s dad Burt came to an end last night when Burt won the seat. But that’s not what I want to talk about.

The high school election came to an end as well, and I do want to talk a little bit about that. The main contenders were the aforementioned Kurt and the stereotypically blonde Brittany. Brittany was the frontrunner since she kept passing out pixie sticks and empty promises to the electorate.

The high schoolers spoke; they wanted pixie sticks – just like so many people in 2008! The people spoke, and they wanted pixie sticks and unicorn dust. That’s why Barack Obama is our president. I really hope that the people watching “Glee” understand that candidates that promise magical powers are never able to deliver. (more…)

Didja miss me? I missed you. But I’m totally back this week! You know why? Because Glee is back! After taking a quick way too long break, the show we all love to hate was back last night, and oh, it did not disappoint.

Before the first commercial break, we got our first glimpse of liberal snark when cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) went on the air to expose the exorbitant amount of taxpayer money that the glee club wastes, like, teaching kids to sing and have self-confidence and crap. Thankfully, Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) pointed out in a subsequent scene that the cheerleading squad gets $4,000 a month for pompoms.

I guess teenage boob jobs are on the rise.

Here’s the thing:  Sue is running for congress, and she’s apparently running on the Tea Party ticket. No, they’ve never mentioned it on the show, but Jane Lynch has mentioned that her character channels Tea Party Patriot Michele Bachmann. And because Michele Bachmann and other Republicans hate children, puppies, and rainbows, Sue has managed to cut the funding for the school’s musical.

Then YAY capitalism! A group of parents come together with local business owners to fund the musical for the high school kids, which is really how kids’ programs should be funded … by the parents. (more…)

As usual, Dick Cheney is right and Barack Obama is wrong.

It’s time to wave the pink flag and drop opposition to gay marriage.

I’ve changed my thinking on this one. Personally, I admit my opposition to gay marriage has always been on the same level as my opposition to the death penalty: I understand and appreciate the arguments against both intellectually – but in actual practice, I simply don’t lose any sleep over either. With the death penalty, I sympathize with moral opposition – but when a Ted Bundy takes that final ride on “Old Sparky” (or that final big sleep on “Old Lethal Injectiony”), my only real objection is that it isn’t televised.
