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.

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.

Aw, they're being generous.

As for banning bikinis, I'm in favor of that.  Who wants to see bikinis?  Skinnydipping is much better.

Speedos for guys? Here's 8-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman in a, er, semi-Speedo. Do you think anyone would complain? What are they gonna do, throw him out? Bwaaahaha...

No need to thank me, ladies.

Excellent National Enquirer Journalism

Siouxcity, it's a column, not a commodities report.

Yes ~JBS~....ICK...couldn't you find one of Rosie's hairy legged pictures smoking a cigar?

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

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.

Some poor slob accidentally married a lesbian once:

I once had a girl,
But she left me all alone.
Now when I come home at night,
It's to an empty home.
She said she hates that house,
And how she'd like to bomb it,
And how the sight of me in bed,
Makes her want to vomit.


Chorus:
She's A Lesbian
(She's A Lesbian)
And she's out there chasin' skirts
She's A Lesbian
(She's A Lesbian)
Wearin' boots and flannel shirts
She don't like men.
She's A Lesbian.


Well my pretty wife's no more.
She now looks like a cowboy on the range.
It was during our honeymoon,
That she made the change.
I should have seen some signs before.
Life now ain't much fun.
You see when she ate hot dogs,
She only ate the bun.
