Gay Mafia takes on UOTALF

Ah, good. We needed a sense of humor around here. - Rosi

The rumor mill in Trentonia is swirling in the wake of two powerful statements of non-support from powerful gay rights activists towards the powerful Union of Teachifying and Learnification Folks. Teachifying and Learnification professionals are saying that they are now unable to get decent haircuts and service at their favorite restaurants is suddenly horrible.

Lay Jassiter, the uber-wired activist who knows-all, said the fears were overblown.

"The fears are overblown," said the powerful activist. "There is no such a thing as the gay mafia. I mean, yeah, some of us hang together and do the wake-and-bake thing. And we look fabulous doing it, obviously. But it isn't like we are planning a series of hit-and-run make-overs against members of the legislature."

Jassiter was interrupted by the appearance of Assemblyman Patrick Carrol Mikeals, wearing a dashing russet sarong with matching seven-inch stilletos. "I have no comment," the Assemblyman said, his eyes widening fearfully at Jassiter's powerful menacing presence. "I just feel violated. But pretty. Do you think I get these shoes in judicial black?"

Jassiter's denial was backed up by Pardon Fate Equanimity's Maeve Silverstein.

"I back up Jassiter's denial," said the powerful social entrepreneur. "And I want to take this moment to deny the vicious rumor that I have somehow sold out to Governor Myst Mysty for a backstage pass to meet Barry Manilow. Yes, Barry is a lyrical god and a sexy beast in a speedo. But I would not abandon my life's work and spiritual calling to debase myself for a few seconds of smitten hand-shaking.

"Now, if he wants to whisk me away to Copacabana...well, I'm not exactly Lola material, but I can be packed in ten minutes!"

Teachifying and Learnification professionals seemed reluctant to speak openly about their oppression by the Gay Mafia.

"Look, they are real. They are out there. And they are pissed!" said a Learnificator from Brick on condition of anonymity. "But I'm not going to say anything. You know why? Because I love the theater! And as a heterosexual male, I need help at the store picking out clothes that work together! I can't afford to say anything bad about my homo homies."

State Senate candidate Geff Jardner was more diplomatic.

"I'll be more diplomatic," he said. "There is this close-knit community of people who are attracted to certain individuals and because of that they are subjected to special legal and social scrutiny. For self-protection and support, they have historically banded together. And now they have been sold down the proverbial river by some other group of professionals who now are under attack by the Governor and that group of professionals wants the other group of people to blindly support them even though they went out of their way to piss all over their new leather shoes.

"F--- them!"

When this Intrepid Reporter returned to his car, there was a note taped to the windshield that read:
"Don't mess with the gay mafia. PS - That tie doesn't go with that belt. Accessories, girlfriend!"

Barbara Keshishian makeover (3.00 / 1)
Am I the only one who thinks Barbara Keshishian is badly in need of a makeover, from top to bottom?

That's just nasty. It plays into all the worst male conceits that women in power have to meet some artificial attractiveness standards in order to be legitimate. We've got a governor who looks like a side of beef. And that's not the reason he sucks. Barbara Keshishian doesn't have to look pretty for you; that's not in her job description.  

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

I know that you have given Jay a well-deserved slap on the wrist of late when his snark has crossed the line, but I really wonder if you would have accused him of male conceit if he had said something similar.  That said, I agree with you only insofar as we assume that Ken's comment was made with complete seriousness.  However, considering the nature of the diary on which he was commenting, I would like to believe that there was at least a modicum of snark involved.

In the spirit of such snarkiness, I would like to add that most of the women in Trenton need to be force-fed at least one Johnny Rockets cheeseburger, french fries, and black and white (for diversity's sake) milkshake per week and have all of their high-heeled shoes taken away from them and replaced with flats.

I know that I am not someone who has any business commenting on anyone's fashion choices, but the heels that some of them wear make them look like aging hookers.  Then again, male or female, there is not much in the job description that separates a NJ politician from a prostitute.  While I cannot speak from experience, I can only imagine that with most prostitutes, you get what you pay for.  The same is rarely true for a NJ politician.

Slap? (0.00 / 0)
Is that what you call disagreeing on strategy and tactics?

I don't really follow your question? Would I have objected the same way if Jay said the same thing? That's pretty far into hypothetical, since Jay didn't say it.  

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

I can vouch for Rosi here (0.00 / 0)
Jay was hit for 'fresh faced gal' in his description of Anne Milgram.

(only I'm not sure it was Rosi, but I think it was)

I'm with Rosi on this (4.00 / 1)
Notwithstanding my diary over the weekend taking the NJEA to task, I'm with Rosi - it is sexist to criticize the NJEA's president in the way you did.

I am going to ask the question again (0.00 / 0)
Do we know for a fact that Ken's comment was meant to be serious or snarky?  Considering the nature of the diary in question, I think that we probably should err on the side of giving him the benefit of the doubt since it is more reasonable for someone to comment on a snarky diary in a snarky manner than in a serious manner.  That is, unless Ken thought that the diary was meant to be taken seriously, and if that is the case, then male conceit is probably the least of his problems.

I am also going to go out on a limb, once again, and say that I think that if Jay had made a similar comment, it would have been tolerated as being part and parcel of his sense of humor.  If there are going to be boundaries for snark, please add them to the site's rules, and if there are going to be double standards for some of the site's participants as opposed to others, please let each of us know where we stand, so we know which set of rules we are expected to abide by or not.

Editor Attila T. HunnybearI cannot possibly be guilty of male conceit. Because I have an enormous penis.

Gay Mafia Battlin' Barbie Beshishian needs a makeover? We'll give her the Patrick Carroll Mikeals treatment. Sarongs for everyone!  Ooooh. And a pearl necklace, because it's freaking classy!
