    Anyone who makes a big deal about not watching TV - like those two guys who got married do - are douchebags. I'd hate to be that kid living in the house.

    Phyllis, which two lines are you talking about? That whole freaking article destroyed me.

    Except this, which just made me giggle:

    "Science can do what natural selection never would have done," Mr. Busch said. "She never would have dated me."

    Which is more abhorrent, those who aspire to have their nuptials announced in the Times, or reality show whores?

    Well to do society douches versus nouveau-celebs -- sounds like an interesting cage match to me.

    Wonderful job as always, Phyllis. And yes, congratulations to Messrs. Davis and Busch. And yes, screw you, NY Senate, excepting the divine Sen. Diane Savino from the Isle o' Staten, for her heroic and moving speech this week- where we lost the fight for now.

    [www.youtube.com]

    An aside, annoying: The BBC and NPR are atizzy about the appointments of an Episcopal gay bishop today. "Controversial!" But they never come out and say that the reason it's controversial is because a vocal minority just hates gay people. This isn't explained in radio reports, but it would be so helpful if it were put in such plain, stark terms.

    This is why it's news, this is why it's an issue: saying it's a 'controversy' just means a favoring of the bigots' point of view without explanation, or opposing comment, I found deeply annoying today. Tell us EXACTLY why it's a controversy. Just say it. As Lord of the Sith beckons them to Rome..

    @CumaeanSibyl: Is it so wrong to want to shop with the gays? I hate shopping with straight men , either they are rushing me or are into shopping and accessorizing more then me, which makes me question their sexuality. I really only like sex with straight men, or everything else there is a gay.

    @adiam7: I'd never ask any friend of mine to go shopping with me. Even I get impatient with myself.

    Anyway, I was more talking about the movie stereotype of gay men as non-threatening, pep-talking eunuch companions for straight women. The kind who advise the heroine on romantic relationships but never seem to have their own...

    For as ebulliently joyful as the Davis/Busch nuptials seem, I've gotta give my tip of the hat to the old folks getting together more than half a century after they first met. If that doesn't say "eternally hopeful", I don't know what does.

    Aw, what adorable nerds. The "Trek" couple are a refreshing change from the Westminster Kennel Club-like trotting out of lineage and credentials competition (which we enjoy too, obvs.) Those kids are going to make it.

    They should really have a 12-step program for "Say Yes To The Dress" addiction. Once I turn it on, I can't turn it off, even if it's a rerun, which it usually is. I swear I've seen the episode with the mean mother who rushes into the stock room about 12 times.

    @hortense: Phyllis and hortense! Both addicts to this show. I thought I had to hide away my shame. Truth time: I've even shed a few tears.

    The wedding announcements in the NYTimes always make me feel inadequate, which is really their main purpose. Still, I wish I didn't feel like a failure because I didn't go to Princeton AND Yale and still had time to read three daily newspapers. Sigh. I've been busy trying to pay rent, you know.
