So, my boyfriend Justin’s been avoiding a mysterious caller coming from the number (720) 582-8383 for the last week and this morning I told him to just take the call because it was most likely a political survey and I’d answer it for him. It was a research company in Denver, Colorado hired by Rahm Emanuel to poll Chicagoans about what they think of him. I had an awful lot of fun taking this survey and telling the pollster how bad a job Rahm is doing…and was interested in the amount of emphasis that was given to Rahm’s dealings with the police and the scary rise in crime and murder that’s been happening in Chicago for the last couple of years.

If you don’t answer pollsters when they call you, I wish you’d reconsider that because it’s actually a lot of fun. About midway through the survey, though, I have to admit my eyes did start to glaze over because the guy who called me was not very good at his job and went through it all in a monotone that made me itching to hang up. I bet a lot of people do indeed hang up or get bored as the questions just keep coming. The whole call took about 12 minutes or so to finish. Justin, of course, didn’t want to talk to the man on the phone but was fascinated by my talking to him and camped down on the floor by my desk while I went through the survey.

First the pollster asked to speak to “Justin” and I said that was me (since Justin didn’t want to talk to anyone) and he then asked if I still lived in Chicago, which I did.

Believe it or not, sodomy is not exclusive to gay men. Nor are gay men exclusive to sodomy. And as far as I can tell, private sex acts are not political.

>>I would not be worried sick for 4 years if Party 2 won a national election like I am now. It would be refreshing.

That is how I used to feel when the Democrats won. I’m not sure when they went over the edge. But I started noticing that we had a serious problem in 2004 when Kerry was running.

I agree with you whole-heartedly. It would be nice to go back to the (naive) days when I felt that both sides were mostly decent people who loved our country but had differences of opinion on minor issues.

More consideration of what someone does with what’s between their ears and less of what they do with what’s between their legs seems to me to be the proper response to this guy.

He really is quite brilliant and like the open lesbian Tammy Bruce, Kevin DuJan came from the dark side so his perspective is quite valuable.

He also hits the Barack Obama is gay angle pretty hard and probably can be considered an authority on that.

That’s because Zippy was trying to run on Clinton’s record since he certainly could not run on his own record of dismal failure.
