Patrick Lanzo is an Asshole

A bar owner in Georgia, who tag line boast about being the original Klan bar, placed a "wonderful" sign outside saying, “Obama’s plan for health care – [n-word]rig it"

Patrick quickly received criticism and when Alan Colmes interviewed him, he defended his actions saying it was free speech and he's not racist. He even noted that he was a member of NAACP and marched for Gay rights in Cobb county.

But, please take a look at some of things he said.

COLMES: No one’s questioning that you have the first amendment right to do it. That’s not the issue.

LANZO: You’re saying it’s not politically correct.

COLMES: It’s not a matter of being politically correct. It’s downright offensive, it’s downright insulting, it’s downright nasty and meanspirited towards a group of people who have been spending fighting for equality. Finally we get an African American president and you’re busy using the n-word to describe something he wants to do in terms of fixing health care.

LANZO: Well, see that would offend me, because I don’t look at Obama bein’ an African American. What’s wrong with him being a Black American? And he’s even a half-breed, he’s not a full black person.

COLMES: Well, again, the word half-breed is rather an insulting term.

He has many signs in his bar. A mix of Martin Luther King to Whites Only swimming sign. He thinks it cool to also have KKK items there as well.
Patrick, you are an asshole.

Searching for bars in Southern California

Last night, my friend and I was chillin' in Denny's after another disastrous night out on the town.

Yes, believe it our not, Los Angeles ain't all that when it comes to the nightlife. WeHo is too much to deal with and some bear clubs like Faultline are not cute at times. So after being bored and smothered in smoke, we traveled to Long Beach only to be completely disappointed again.

They have more social bars, but nobody was there. In the Crest, Pistons and some other place I can't remember the name... nobody was out. There were almost 20 folks in each bar, but seriously, nobody was shaking up and putting it out.

What's really going on in Cali? In NYC, I always had a good time going out. In Cali, not so much. My poor friend was also shocked. He just moved here from Ohio, so anything is an improvement.

After ranting about this over our chicken strips and fattening shakes, we realized we won't give up. Somewhere, there's a place for us. Where? I don't know, but there has to be a bar that has fun people, good music and no smoking.

The smoke gets in my hair and ruins the vanilla-cinnamon scented vibe I have all over me.

We will continue the bar journey next week, hopefully with better luck.

Let's go to the Zombie Bar

We have gay bars, women only bars... and now we a Zombie bar!

In the Twin Cities, Donny Dirk's Zombie Den lives. This hot spot in getting much buzz about it's look and stiff drinks.

The stunning new interior comes straight out of a 1950s Las Vegas lounge (the classic part). The zombie stuff (i.e. the kitsch) is hilarious, and more nuanced than you'd expect from a bar named Donny Dirk's Zombie Den. In the corner, a small chainsaw sits inside a glass case that reads "In case of zombie attack, break glass." The bartenders all dress like Simon Pegg in "Shaun of the Dead" -- white button-up, red tie and blood stains. The friendly female servers wear long black gowns. Again: This is a classy zombie joint.

It looks fun and a bit daring. I wish we had this is L.A.
