Carrie Prejean: In the News Again

legacy/prejean_0.

Carrie, Carrie, Carrie. Why don't you stop your fricking whining about the Miss California title and get the frick over it?  Today, I woke up, read the news, relaxed with a cup of coffee and had to see your stupid face again. For some stupid reason, when you got fired from your "job", I thought you would shut the f- up. How wrong I was.

Now you are suing the Miss California pageant for "libel, public disclosure of private facts, religious discrimination, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress." To quote from her attorney:

"We will make the case that her title was taken from her solely because of her support of traditional marriage."

Homovipers and De-fagification: Who said it?

Can you guess which famous person once referred to a school as “a nest of homovipers,” and urged the "de-fagification" of her profession? If you guessed Julia Child, you would be correct. In anticipation of the Meryl Streep driven bio-pic about Mrs. Childs, several bloggers are today recalling that in 1992 Julia Child was sued for blocking the advancement of a gay chef and that Child was frequently quoted using epithets towards gay men. For a fascinating read about Julia Child's attitutes towards gender roles, homosexuality, masculinity, and marriage, do not miss this excellent piece, replete with several interesting (and offensive) quotes. Bon Appetit!
