March Madness Indeed

Today, we sit on the verge of passing national health care reform and there is more name-calling, threats, and abuse in Washington than I’ve seen outside of a lesbian break-up. The legislation will come too late to help the vast amount of people whose lives have been ruined or lost because of a devastating illness. Working in HIV prevention and care for more than twenty years, I have seen many, many bankruptcies and financial ruin resulting from lack of access to health insurance. Even worse, I’ve seen those with health insurance come to an early, bitter end because of inadequate care and “cost savings” from health insurance companies. My hope is that in the future we won’t have to base decisions in our life (whether to take a better job, move to another state, etc.) based on whether we will be guaranteed access to health care.

Massa Harina

I gonna miss New York Congressman Eric Massa, now that he is fading from the media spotlight. He had so many entertaining, not-so-subtle, homoerotic comments, there is no way this guy can be straight:

"I am showering, naked as a jaybird, and here comes Rahm Emmanuel, not even with a towel wrapped around his 'tush,' poking his finger in my chest, yelling at me."

That's hot. I have had the same sexual fantasy about Rahm, as well. Get out of my head, Massa!!

"They're saying I groped a male staffer. Yeah, I did. Not only did I grope him, I tickled him until he couldn't breathe."

Rochester, NY, Classified Ads: Older GWM, kinky, abusive and into inappropriate horseplay, ISO young male staffer, must like watching Fox News and obliviously blaming others for your actions.

“I should never have allowed myself to be as familiar with my staff as I was," said Massa, who shared a townhouse with bachelors on his staff. "I never translated from my days in the Navy to being a congressman."

And finally from Larry King Show (3/10/10):

KING: “It may be silly, but I guess we have to ask it, --- are you gay?”

MASSA: “Well, here's that answer, I'm not going to answer that. Why don't you … ask the 10,000 sailors I served with in the Navy?”

*Sigh* I am going to miss you, Eric. You have a promising career writing gay porn.
