I don't like him, but that's another story. However, this act has cost this idiot his ticket to ride on the Mardi Gras parade.
When Orpheus Captain Sonny Borey came aware of Mencia's joke, he was done.
He said "our krewe is very sensitive to the feelings of our community and the way our city is viewed."
And that lead to Carlos being pulled from the parade. That's great news.

Wonder Woman is a Hit at New York Comic Con
I'm so excited to get this movie! And people are raving about the Amazing Amazon's flick.
io9 reported:
Indeed, that is the general secret to Wonder Woman's success – the film always manages to strike with its complex elements, whether it's exploring gender relations without sermonizing or embracing Wonder Woman's mythological origins while avoiding too many stilted explanations from the Amazons. The film is also resolutely accessible, requiring no prior knowledge of the characters in a way that wasn't really true of Superman: Doomsday or Justice League: The New Frontier (although there is a cameo at the end that will have any Wonder Woman fans cheering).
Wonder Woman is a film that boldly pushes the DC animated cosmos into more mature territory without sacrificing the sense of joy and, well, wonder that should accompany the introduction of such an iconic character. I can't imagine anyone making a better Wonder Woman movie, although I'd love to see this cast and crew give it a whirl. Bruce Timm mentioned at the panel that, if sales are good enough, there is the possibility of a sequel. I'd be willing to go one better. If ever there was a project deserving of another Timm-helmed animated series, Wonder Woman is it.
This is great news, hopefully this will get the live-action version up and running again.
Stimulus Update
Straight from HuffPo on Friday Night
The actual price tag on the Senate stimulus package will be north of $800 billion. The deal reached today will be passed as an amendment to the original bill and is roughly $780 billion. But the three amendments that have already passed this week will still be part of the law. One, a housing credit of $15,000 per buyer, is estimated to cost $19 billion. Another, a tax credit for folks who buy energy efficient cars, comes in at around $11 billion. A third, giving $6.5 billion more to the National Institutes of Health, would also be included in the total cost, which takes it to roughly $817 billion, close to the amount of the package passed by the House.
Republicans have been arguing tonight that the higher price tag means that there is, in fact, no deal -- since the deal is for the $780 billion. Democratic senators and Sens. Arlen Specter and Susan Collins said, however, that there is a deal and that the amendments will be worked out in the negotiations between the Senate and House. The NIH piece may have the best chance of survival because it was sponsored by Specter, whose vote will be needed again to pass whatever emerges from House-Senate negotiations. The assumption among Democrats, said aides, is that those amendments will be stripped out during the conference negotiations, because the crux of the compromise deal is the $780 billion package.
Now are we finally moving on?

Question of the Day
Can you name 5 gay magazines that don't use sex, sexy shirtless men, or hot bodies to sell it? I have no problem with that, but it was a question I couldn't answer.
More Sex
Great News for SATC fans
New Line Cinema spokeswoman Candice McDonough confirms that "Sex and the City" starring Sarah Jessica Parker, her three co-stars and writer-director Michael Patrick King are signed for a sequel to last year's hit movie.
The film will reunite Parker and gal pals Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.
In a statement, King says: "I'm very excited to work with these amazing actresses again and would love to give everyone more information about the sequel ... but I'm busy with my `Sex' life."
New Line parent Warner Bros. plans to have the sequel out in summer 2010.
Maybe Skipper will make an appearance.
Todd Palin's GUILTY
Todd Palin and other loyalists to Alaska's first family were found guilty in contempt by the Alaska Senate for not appearing to testify in the infamous Troopergate investigation of Moose Mess during the presidential campaign.
However, this cute bastard must have an angel over him, because the Senate said that no one should be punished. The reason is they all sent some kind statement over to the investigators, meaning the participated in some way.
But I don't think Todd cares, he could easily use his pirate separatist buddies to reign hell upon Alaska if he needed to.
Do You Want To See Candy Land...The Movie?
Lordy Lord...the minds of Hollywood are f**ked. Universal Pictures believes that people will be gracious if Candy Land becomes a movie.
They have asked Etan Cohen to write and Kevin Lima to direct a live-action version of this malarkey. I can't understand the reason for this, but somebody somewhere thinks it's a great idea.
But why Candy Land? Why not Risk or Hungry Hungry Hippos? Or UNO, that could be a Horror movie with the killer saying 'UNO and out' after he/she kills someone.

We need a GAY Nerdcore Calendar
What's a Nerdcore Calendar? From their site:
In geek culture, there are many holy grails – but the genre of science fiction is hard to top, at least for us nerds at Nerdcore®. In our 12-month, 2009 calendar, the greatest sci-fi themes and motifs are explored like never before, from epic space operas to more intimate retro-chic, ala your favorite sexy super spies from the 60s. You’ll find portraits of a fiery redhead being carried off by giant robots (starring geek goddess Justine Joli), a purple-haired vixen presiding over a futuristic metropolis (European sensation Jana Cova), and a topless cyborg adorned in western gear, revolvers and all (starlet Bobbi Starr).
We nerds/geeks would love to have some of our favorite comic book heroes or sexy aliens to drool over for 12 months. Oh, and I mean a GAY calendar with real GAY men. Time for us to celebrate our own men, who are fellow nerd/geeks and gay.
Just a thought...a weird one, but a thought
