Ann Barnett: "Bureaucratic weenie"
Calling our county clerk a "bureaucratic weenie," columnist Patt Morrison writes that Bakersfield has an opportunity to become a real "gay mecca." Read her column, "Aisle Denial in Bakersfield" here. She references lots of our stories which is nice. We're kind of like that Utah town which banned bikinis at its public swimming pool. All of a sudden everyone's interested. 15 comments from 8 users

On the other hand, when I sent Patt my suggestion for promoting the idea of turning the Padre Hotel into a world-class brothel she was strangely silent; this despite the fact the Bodfish Philosophical Society was strongly in favor of the idea. posted by

Aw, they're being generous. . As for banning bikinis, I'm in favor of that. Who wants to see bikinis? Skinnydipping is much better. posted by

Hmmm guess your right again RF...commodities report..interesting...Gotta GO! The National Enquirer (also commonly known as the Enquirer) is an American supermarket tabloid now published by American Media Inc (AMI). Founded in 1936, the tabloid has gone through a variety of changes over the years, and is currently well-known for its articles focusing on celebrity news, gossip, and crime. While it briefly sought a reputation for reliable journalism and had some success scooping other media with angles on the O.J. Simpson and Monica Lewinsky stories, notable erroneous reports such as those concerning the Elizabeth Smart case have not supported that effort and the focus has been alleged to have returned to celebrity gossip. Allegations have been made that various false stories ("Trojan Horses") have been sold to the Enquirer in order to compromise its credibility. The Enquirer makes no secret of the fact that it will pay sources for tips, a practice officially frowned upon by the mainstream press; in the Smart case, a large payment encouraged the reporting of false information. In recent years the tabloid has struggled with declining circulation figures due to competition from glossy tabloid publications including American Media's posted by

We agree with Pat's premise, but Bakersfield will NEVER be West Hollywood. This is a Lesbian Town and Lesbians who enjoy country music and line dancing at that. No self-respecting Gay Guy from West Hollywood would ever set foot here. No? We kick it with the Girls. posted by
