Question Of The Day

Deep metaphysical question here: would a dog wear pants on all four legs (since you wear pants on your legs) or would Fido just wear pants on his back legs since pants should cover the booty?
Or, should dogs simply not wear pants?
I’d love to see your responses in the comment section below.
CNN’s Don Lemon To Kathy Griffin On The Air: “Nice Rack”
During a stroll through Times Square with Anderson Cooper during the CNN coverage of New Year’s Eve, comedian Kathy Griffin dropped her coast to walk sans blouse.
CNN’s Don Lemon remarked from New Orleans to Griffin, “nice rack – didn’t know you had all that going on up there.”
Lemon, who is openly gay, was also sipping from a cup during the evening which his co-host Brooke Baldwin took from him after the comment.
Anderson Cooper (also openly gay) responded to Griffin dropping her coat with “you’ve got a rocking bod, I have to say.”
Thoughts? Was this a bad thing? Was it just New Year’s Eve antics? Does it matter that Lemon or Cooper are gay? If a straight male news anchor told a guest they had a “nice rack” would that fly?
Or are folks just bored and making a mountain out of two nicely “racked” mole hills?
Radio Show: “Goodbye 2015, Hello 2016”
Here’s my latest radio show, which aired last night on BlogTalkRadio, where I share my “Best of 2015” lists of movies, music, pop culture and politics.
Just a sample of my “Best Of:”
Music artists Kelly Clarkson, Mika, Adele, Madonna, Steve Grand and Janet Jackson make my “Top Albums of 2015.”
Top LGBT films include The Danish Girl, Seashore, Carol, Drown and I Am Michael.
Political highlights for the LGBT community including (obviously) the historic ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on marriage equality, County Clerk Kim Davis’ opposition to issuing marriage licenses, and the Boy Scouts lifting (mostly) of it’s ban on gay scouts.
Coming out stories of Olympian Gus Kenworthy, British rugby player Keegan Hirst, actress Holland Taylor and Caitlyn Jenner. And the LGBT inclusive storylines on TV shows Empire, Transparent, The Fosters and How To Get Away With Murder.
Plus, I make my predictions for what’s ahead in 2016 regarding LGBT rights and the race for the White House.

Hillary Was Right – Trump Hate Speech Being Used In Terrorist Recruitment Video
Donald Trump went ballistic last month when Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton said during a debate that ISIS was taking Trump’s hate speech as a recruitment tool.
Clinton said that ISIS was “going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.”
Now, a video has surfaced showing pretty much just that.
From CNN:
An al Qaeda affiliate has apparently released a new recruitment video, telling Muslims in America that the country has a long history of racism and discrimination and will turn on its Muslim community.
The video purportedly by Somali terrorist group al-Shabaab uses historic civil rights era footage of firebrand Malcolm X and audio of 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump to label the United States a racist society.
In the wake of the San Bernardino shootings last month, Trump said he wanted “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.”
The video runs this line, bleeping out the word “hell.”
Before that, Trump had called for surveillance of mosques and said he was open to establishing a database for all Muslims living in the country.
The video also includes recent footage of police shootings and violence against African Americans in Ferguson and Baltimore — and claims that this is what is in store for American Muslims.
Trump’s campaign has not responded to the video.
Deconstructing Donald Trump’s “Hucksters Knack” For Using Language
Really interesting video which looks at the way Donald Trump uses words and language as a presidential contender.
Sounds wonky, but the narrator makes excellent sense as he points out the repetition and construction of the Donald’s speech.
Gus Kenworthy Welcomes The New Year With Boyrfriend Matthew Wilkas
Out Olympian Gus Kenworthy made an appearance during CNN’s lead-up to the New Year with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin last night.
No surprise, Griffin was in her usual “forward” mode during Kenworthy’s time on the air, kissing him whenever she could and giving a definition of what it means to be “pansexual.” The silver medalist did try to evoke a New Year’s kiss from Cooper, but to no avail.
During the drop-in, Kenworthy revealed he is in fact dating actor Matthew Wilkas, sharing this pic via Instagram shortly after the stroke of midnight.
