Politics as usual makes ‘08 look like ‘68
By ANTHONY PAGLINO | Sep. 25, 2008Since 1966, the Republican Party has been held together by a tripod of issues and standpoints: foreign policy, economic and fiscal conservatism and the creation of cultural resentment. Today, its case for the presidency has been whittled down to one argument.

Gay men make good girlfriends, cock–blockers
By STEPHANIE DUNN | Sep. 24, 2008Let me introduce myself. I'm Stephanie, and I'm a fag hag. But let me make a few things clear before your mind conjures up the image of that outspoken MAC makeup artist who so perfectly embodies the stereotype of the textbook fruit fly. I'm not a pudgy hanger-on, and my self-esteem is nowhere near lacking. I don't cling to gay men because otherwise, I'd never get within three feet of a penis. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who thinks that she alone can turn any Britney-squealing, homosexual man into a burly football fanatic. I don't brandish my gay friends like accessories, nor do I harbor any "Sex and the City" fantasies of being a cosmopolitan surrounded by sophisticated sodomites. Somehow, I just always found myself surrounded by gay guys and never thought much of it until everybody started asking me why.
