There will always be an England.....

Cousins

Czar Nicholas ll of the Russian Empire 

and 

King George V or the British.....

This photo has nothing at all to do with this story, other than being a freaking hot couple. I have just ALWAYS loved this picture.. all hail the power of 

Queen Victoria's genes!

Let's say you are poor little David Furnish, dealing all day long with the new baby and , let's face it, the biggest diva on the planet... DON'T you deserve just a little bit of an accolade of your own?

From our VERY old pal , The Sydney Morning Herald [ or was it the Sydney Tribune...] :

Title Plan for Partners of Gay Knights.

LONDON: The partners of gay knights and peers could be given titles like those for wives of heterosexual men under plans before the British Parliament. Under the honours system, wives of men made sirs or lords becomes ladies. But there is no equivalent for partners of gay men given titles, such as Sir Elton John's partner, David Furnish. Neither can husbands of women made dames use a prefix.
The Conservative MP Oliver Colville will this week unveil a bill aimed at bringing equality to the system, amid reports the government is preparing to investigate reform. His Honours (Equality of Titles for Partners) Bill will be launched in the Commons today, asking ''that leave be given to bring in a bill to make provision for husbands and civil partners of those receiving honours to be allowed to use equivalent honorary titles to those available to women''. He told The Sunday Times: ''The current system is uneven and rather outdated. If you are made a peer or a knight, your wife automatically gets the title lady, but if you are gay or are a woman and become a dame your partner gets nothing.''

and for no reason what so ever:

ALTHOUGH, I bet it was played at least once WHILE calling the Sydney Morning Herald.......

and the TOASTER goes to :

Our own ANDREW SULLIVAN!

Here is the deal people, know one gave a fuzzy rats ass when you came out - you are not on TV like 5 hours a day trying your best to right the sinking behemoth that is CNN. ALSO, and this is the part that everyone will miss : You did not grow up with your mother being like the most famous person in the world. Seriously, FAME has done a number on this family that the casual reader will never understand. Gloria Vanderbilt was MUCH more famous than the mistake jeans - and had been her entire life.
 That and that whole waspy Whitney side of things, name in the paper three times birth, marriage and death, so Mr. Cooper, who has been through a lot himself  - gets all the slack in the world.

NOW, get married to your HOT Cuban or what ever he is adopt her some non Polish grandbabies!

lazy blogger

I was a bad Summertime blogger yesterday, things happened, trees fell in the forest, and I did not report them.

The Newsroom Season 1: Episode 1 - Full Episode

Praise HBO for showing this for free 

Yeah, the whole thing - for free on the you-tubes.

But there is something you need to know... and understand..

Your world won't be the same afterwards. 

Yeah, you will pretend it is.. things will seem the same.

But just like, no matter HOW MUCH, you love Barack or Hillary,[ and dear G_d in Heaven, we do love them ] deep down in your heart of hearts, you know that they will never ever be as good as Josiah Bartlet - and yet, you - we all, make that day to day decision to keep passing the open window.

It is that good.
