The Person of the Year should be a tie between Anna Nicole Smith, Britney Spears, Ron Paul, and Hillary Clinton. Then again there were other influencers who made the year grand including Keith Olbermann, Ellen DeGeneris, and then Madonna and Al Gore with making the world a better place.

I do not think I could pick from all these people but Keith Olbermann really did the most presenting his news and poking fun of the pin heads over at Fox News. Bringing us truths that we have not seen for years that could all be seen on the Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

Time Magazine picked Russian President Putin as their Person of the Year. Maybe because of his shirtless fishing pictures while he was moving his pecs with his strangely shaped stomach area. Maybe it was that hes got more power than we know over there after the cold war. Or Maybe hes really a nice guy underneath all the testosterone. I would have picked Britney Spears for the Time Magazineaward because she was the most talked about person of the year over President Bush and Putin. Everyone wanted to know when Britney went to the bathroom, drove her kids to Starbucks, drove to the gas station, and walked in bookstores to get coffee.

We wanted more so she Gimme More. Gimme More. Britney Sprears 2007

Then there were the gay friendly people of 2007 who PlanetOut Voted on earlier this month. The winner went to Hillary Clinton for her consistent words on the gay issues.

The worst persons of the year go to Gov. Mike Huckabee, Gov. Mitt Romney, Bill O’ Reilley, Fox Business Channel, Fox News, The Writers strike, amd the extremetists christians protesting along I-35 saying that the highway belongs to them (the start of our next holy war).

Move over who shot JR this is much more sexier…

I admit I got addicted to this crazy ‘Tequila’ show on accident just by turning channels in my hotel room one night. I was amazed first that my hotel had MTV because most hotels seem to have every boring cable channel but MTV. Not that I watch MTV much but when you are in a hotel as if you are going to get LOGO or MTV Hits or anything exciting that you are not charged extra.

So it lands on some kind of typical re-run-a-thon that MTV loves to do and has done since it quit playing videos back in the 90’s. I think I watched the episodes of ‘A Shot of Tila Tequila’ so many times my head could spin now. They were damn good episodes and I loved them.

Dani is adorable and even the blond huge-boobed amazon girl was interesting to watch when she was kicked off during a after-show. Amanda has a great sense of humor and seems like a fun diva to hang out with but Dani seems more the type to date. One funny thing is that if you click on the video of Amanda and Tila Tequila in the hot tub it asks your age because of viewer discretion. I also kept getting Dani and Bobby mixed up because their names could go back and fourth. I think they are both hotties.

Who did Tila Tequila pick on the dating show on MTV? Did she pick Bobby or Dani? It was kind of a male vs. female and straight vs. bisexual vs. gay tossup which made it more interesting than most dating shows. Girls kissing girls and boys going after hot girls… MTV is sounding much more fun than their gay sister LOGO.

Tila Tequila picked up a huge ratings for MTV networks just under the Hills which was an unstoppable hit.

You can actually watch the season finale here online from MTV’s Video Player. Update: The MTV Player is not working on this site for some reason.

So, it’s that time of year again, you’re looking forward to ‘the big day’, you know where you are going, who you are going to see, you’ve got everything sorted and arranged but… oh Horror! You have forgotten to buy him (or that special lady lover) that special gift! What to do? What do you get the man who has everything?

You really need to spend a few minutes thinking about what kind of guy he is and then a few more minutes searching around for ideas. As we all know the internet is the place to shop these days but there is so much on offer it’s hard to now where to start. A quick search on ‘top ten gay gifts’ should bring up plenty of ideas, if not try some of the things I found:

First of all you’ll need to now what kind of ‘he’ he is. If he is a Technophile then you might like to think along the lines of gadgets and gizmos. I have to admit this isn’t me and looking at what some of these phones and things do boggles my mind but what about a new cell phone? Check out this listing for a top ten of the best looking cell phones or read these CNET reviews for a top rate list. Don’t forget the iPhone that includes iPod features, video screen, internet connection and oh yes, you can even make calls on it too. The accessories for the iPhone will be big this Christmas and even help with some of that dreaded Holiday travel on the way back home if you can purchase noise canceling headphones. And then there are games of course, with xbox.com bringing you all the X-box updates and news and Playstation is doing the same for the Sony side of the market. Buy.com is actually running a great deal on the Sony Playstation 3 and claim to have it in stock.

If your gay loved one is more of an out and about Techie then he may love you for ever if you present him with something for the car, and I don’t mean a pair of furry dice. Check out garmin.com/giftguide for the latest news on what’s to be had in GPS land. They have everything here from sports watches with GPS to things for your boat or plane – the ultimate techie gift.

But what if he’s not a techie person but more a Creative Sort? What are the top rated movies and books for the gay man who appreciates art and literature? Amazon.com has a list of the top rated presents for your gay male friends, at least in their opinion. Number one is ‘Clicking beat on the brink of Nada’ a novel about adolescent love by Keith Hale. Further down the list but of more interest (probably) to your older gay friends who will remember the ‘Tales of the city’ series is ‘Michael Tolliver Lives’ by Armistead Maupin. Also in the Amazon list are your, by now, standard ‘Brokeback Mountain’ and the ‘Spartacus Guide’. I found this Amazon.com gay list for male friends by the way. But to get something very special from the art world you could try fulcrumgallery.com for some original works of art.

Or maybe he is a Lifestyle Guru in which case something for body, soul or home might be more appropriate. How about a Christmas hamper and something for the kitchen from Dean & Deluca at deandeluca.com? A new travel bag, wallet or laptop case from ebags.com or some unusual jewellery from justmetal.com where silver and titanium are the metals of the moment.

As I said before you could search around for ever as there is so much out there and these are just a few ideas I happened along. But remember that if all else fails there are always the good old adult sites to give you some inspiration. Gayemart.com comes up with a good list of ideas from DVDs to toys and if you are in Europe then clonezonedirect.co.uk will do you just as well. But if all else fails and you find yourself there on Christmas morning with nothing to give him then just strip naked and tie a bow around yourself. After all, you are all he should need.

Gay Couples and Credit / Fun Gag Gift Ideas

Be the life of the party with these great gag gifts!

The mission here is to find a Christmas present that is fun or one you can use for the best Dirty Santa gift. Sounds simple doesn’t it? But I have a strange feeling that it’s not going to be that easy, particularly as we are finding it on line and there is bound to be a whole host of things out there to give your friends that are fun, sexy and a little bit gay.

So, I start with an internet search ‘gay gag gifts’ and come up with… several sites that are not what I am looking for as usual, followed by a couple that might start us on the road to seasonal mirth. Here we go:

There was a glass on sale on eBay on which was written ‘warning the contents of this glass will cause your penis to grow one inch’ but, by the time you read this it will be gone as I bought it. Ha, ha – just kidding. Next up was another eBay item, this time several packets of Jamaican Cock Soup Mix. I kid you not. You can actually buy packets of Cock soup and not just from eBay either, check the soup aisles next time you go to a superstore and if there isn’t any there then insist they get some in for you. There were several other gag gift ideas for sale on eBay so that could well be a place to check out for more quirky and unusual items.

Meanwhile, back to my search list: Everyone likes novelty soap don’t they? No? Well, shame as gaysoaps.com has a great mix of them. There are romantic soaps, rainbow coloured ones and humorous ones with naughty and personalised soaps on offer too. I then moved on and found some great political ideas that aren’t necessarily gay but… Like Hilary Clinton nutcrackers and the Larry Craig action doll that takes a macho stance and has a voice that says ‘I am not gay’. Here is the page for your novelty American political gag dolls.

I changed my search from ‘gag’ to ‘funny’ as I wanted to get away from politics and found myself in T-Shirt world, or rather T-Shirt heaven as loads of sites came up all with T-Shirts sporting funny slogans. Prankplace.com had a nice selection of retro style shirts some of which were camp if not gay in nature. If you enter the word ‘gay’ in their search box you’ll get the full list. There are also slogans on T-Shirts at Cafepress.com a site that carries more styles of shirt but less in the way of gay humour.

Prankroom.com came up next with something different: magnetic bumper gags. There were various slogans available here, ‘proud to be gay’, ‘Closet queen’ and ‘man whore’ for example, plus many others that are too rude to mention. It’s worth searching around this site as they have other categories too, like presents for the bathroom that are again, not necessarily gay but very camp. For example, how about a Psycho shower curtain that’s white with a silhouette of a mad mother with a knife on it?

Maybe it’s time to leave the searching there… What was clear from my trawl around these sites, and others I didn’t mention because they weren’t that gay, was that there are many products out there which will do as a humorous gay gift for Christmas. But I have to say that you will have to search for a while to find something just right. The thing about finding a gag gift for a friend or partner is that it should be appropriate to that person. Just because a T-Shirt says something funny doesn’t mean it’s going to be funny when someone puts it on. So think what would be funny for that person and personalize your gag gift.

How about a tee shirt with a nude image of Mike Huckabee with another guy making out? With superimposed hard steel ab bodies of course. This would make the bible thumpers fall over while they are protesting along I-35 gay bars.

Other Dirty Santa or gag gift ideas for the Holiday season include stripping games and even a Better Sex Video which will surely put a blush on someones face. Stripping games can be fun because if someone opens it up it can add more fun to a Holiday party where everyone starts drinking more and getting more wild. Nothing is wrong wtih spicing things up with some erotic toys and even a surpise stripper or entertainment. Have fun and enjoy!

When it comes to the Republican presidential candidates I normally watch their debates as often as the Dems.  I find it interesting their views on things such as taxes, social security, gay rights, and of course the endless war in Iraq.

Mike Huckabee seemed like a nice guy when I watched him appear on the Bill Maher HBO show a few times and I even had a new love for Ron Paul once I saw him appear on Bill Maher’s Real Time. 

Then reality set in after watching a few debates and finding out this ex-Baptist preacher from Arkansas is really a hate-filled jerk.  This GOP contender that is leading many polls in Iowa and early primary states has not even taken back the mean words he has said towards gays or anyone with HIV.

Mike Huckabee brags to Christian Conservatives that he has the toughest position against gay marriage than any of the other GOP candidates.  Even Ryan Whites mother was sickened when she heard of Huckabee’s statement isolating infected people with HIV.

This man has no brains to lead our country.  AIDS cannot even be spread by casual contact and he is stating that gays with AIDS should be isolated.  He also commented that gays lived an “unnatural, sinful lifestyle”.   Ok, You Hitler jerk are you going to tattoo pink triangles on us as well.  Maybe make us your slaves?

Not only is Mike Huckabee uneducated but he has said many irrational things in his campaign this year and in previous years.  I certainly do not have anything against Arkansas because I have family there and love the Clintons but this moron is making Noahs-ArK-ansas look pretty bad.

The best thing to do in this situation is to donate time or money to the Ron Paul or Giuliani campaigns to fight against Huckabeast.  Even if you intend to donate Democratic we do not need this guy in any high ranking position.
