I don’t know if this guy is serious about it but, the musical theatre needs new blood, I hope this kid takes high school and college drama classes, learns to sing properly (or even just sing!) and goes for it.

Or, as TeddySanFran said in the comments there, move west young man! you have a great future in drag.

Don’t bother about who Jeff Goldstein is. He’s a right wing wanker who is comically unaware of himself and fond of talking about penises, and we tease him he’s got some unresolved issues, which he emphatically does. But beyond that, we like to taunt him sometimes for lazy sport.

None of that has anything to do with you. You’re fabulous. Welcome to FDL.

Park Day School is throwing out gender boundaries.

Teachers at the private Oakland elementary school have stopped asking the children to line up according to sex when walking to and from class. They now let boys play girls and girls play boys in skits. And there’s a unisex bathroom.

Park Day’s gender-neutral metamorphosis happened over the past few years, as applications trickled in for kindergartners who didn’t fit on either side of the gender line. One girl enrolled as a boy, and there were other children who didn’t dress or act in gender-typical ways. Last year the school hired a consultant to help the staff accommodate these new students.

Carson would have blown Bush out of the water. Not to mention what Will Rogers would have done to or with Georgie.

Will Rogers would have made goulash of Bush.
