Aw dudes, it's Christmas...

Looks like my brother Steve at a wedding

Chad Vader, Episode IV

...the last Chad left us hanging...

Et tu, Shepard?

Oh for Pete's sake. You know, "not that there's anything wrong with it," but why do all my favorite broadcasters wind up being gay?

Surfing this morning, I came across a whisper here and a rumor there, and it all pointed to this--"From Out, out damn celebs!" by Kevin Naff, editor Washington Blade, Oct. 21, 2005:

"[Anderson] Cooper isn’t the only well-known TV personality hiding his sexual orientation. Shepard Smith, who hosts a popular program on Fox News and received widespread praise for his work covering Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath, also dodges questions about his sexual orientation.

Smith once chatted me up in a New York City gay piano bar, bought me drinks, and invited me back to his place. When I declined, he asked me to dinner the next night, another invitation I politely refused.

We sat at the bar chatting and drinking martinis until 3 a.m., our conversation interrupted only when he paused to belt out the lyrics to whatever showtune was being performed. "

I knew nothing about this when I was calling for a Coop/Shep jello wrestle!

Okay, okay, I can handle this. I love showtunes, and besides, what do I expect? Newcasters are kind of effete, anyhow. No need to hyperventilate. In the immortal words of Billy Joel, "It's just a fantasy. Wo oh oh oh. It's not the real thing."

But listen up, Alton Brown of the Food Network-- you're my last hope. In terms you can understand: skip the sausage, bucko.

Enfranchise HalfCent

Genuine Guy's-Guy HalfCent came over for a good old American Budweiser Friday night, and took me to task for all my recent drooling over dapper newscasters. He's not into Coop or Cavuto, but he did, however, approve of the recent Ron Paul post.

So, for you HalfCent, and for all the silent, suffering masses-- I give you The Ron Paul Girl:





Update Update Update--

Ohmigosh. I've watched some more, and this girl is awesome. (Does this mean I'm switching teams?) I give you Exhibit B:
