Miss Romney regrets

As if! (graphic: Mike Tidmus. Here’s the real cover … boring) So hey, San Diego! Come on out meet and greet presidential aspirant Mitt Romney on Monday at 6:00 in La Jollies. The Mittster will be signing copies of his new book (that kinda looks like the one above) at the Deseret Bookstore in the [...]

Carrie’s ‘Dirty Pillows’ out Monday

As long as Carrie Prejean and Maggie Gallagher get to make shit up, … (graphic: Mike Tidmus, here’s the original) Margaret White: I can see your dirty pillows. Everyone will. Carrie White: Breasts, Mama. They’re called breasts, and every woman has them. (dialogue: Carrie, a 1976 film by Brian De Palma)

Newswank gets all virtuous

The undeniably stimulating new Queen Esther (graphic: mine, source photo: from a B!isss Magazine centerfold) Maggie Gallagher of the National Organization for Marriage recently said of beauty queen and pin-up Carrie Prejean: Her example resonates, especially to many young Americans, because she chose to stand for truth rather than surrender her core values. Right. And, with an [...]

Their obsession with man-dog-love

Mocking the man-dog-love-obsessed ex-Senator Rick Santorum (graphic: mine, from the Tidmus archives) In a comment, Carrie Prejean supporter F Sanders asks:  OH, one last thought…why don’t we let people marry and have sex with their dogs next…why not?? Oh, jeez, is this already going on and do the gay people have it on the ballet for [...]

Theocracy slimed

Wake up Maggie, I think I have something to say to you (graphic: mine) Last October, the entire staff of Slime magazine attended the wedding of our much-loved Claude the Copy Editor to his charming husband Javier the Freelance Editorial Cartoonist, in beautiful Cardiff-by-the-Sea — just north of sunny, formerly conservative San Diego. It was, [...]

Papa Ratzi slimed

A plot to embarrass the Pope? As ridiculous and deplorable as trying to screw in an imaginary light bulb (Graphic: mine) Threatened with yet another round of lay-offs, Slime magazine’s already over-worked editorial staff, one beleaguered art director and Mila the faithful coffee girl worked into the wee hours of the morning to produce what is being [...]

Meet the Blagos!

Just in time for his farewell tour (Graphic: Mine) He says hello, and we say good-bye.

Their mutual misery

(Graphic: mine) Looks like the professional homo-haters are up in arms over a little article called Our Mutual Joy, which was recently published in a second-rate parody of Newswank magazine called (and isn’t this ever so clever?): Newsweek. Sheesh! In her article, Newsweek’s Religion Editor Lisa Miller maintains the Bible gives no reason why gays and [...]

Linda Harvey slimed

Slime magazine cover girl Linda Harvey (Graphic: mine, photo: Americans for Truth about Homosexuality) Linda Harvey, of Missionary-Position America, and her homo-sex-obsessed soul mate Peter LaBarbera, of Americans for Truthiness about Homosexuality, might well end up in the unemployment line if everything they, and their Christianist comrades among the extremist religious right, fear might happen [...]

Ann Coulter: silent … at last

Cod-freak Coulter silenced at last (Graphic: from the Tidmus archive) I don’t normally touch celebrity gossip, but for those of you who were thinking you had little to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, be of good cheer. Page Six is reporting that radical right-wing comedienne and (Klaus) Barbie Doll Ann Coulter has had her jaw wired [...]

TheCrawl slimed

Invasion of the plastic bobble-heads (Graphic: mine) The latest issue of Slime magazine features a cover story on the planned invasion of San Diego by thousands of anti-gay Christianists who are Hellbent on eliminating marriage equality in California. This prey-away-the-gay-rights-a-thon at Qualcomm Stadium was organized by a cabal of the nastiest of the nasties behind [...]

Those meddling Mormons

(Graphic: mine) Newswank magazine hits store shelves this week with an entire issue all but hopelessly-devoted to the meddlesome Mormons of Salt Lake City, Utah and their mob-like efforts to manipulate a California Constitutional issue into compliance with official Mormon doctrine.  In Newswank’s cover story, journalist Moe Ubett pens a hard-hitting piece on the California [...]

Sarah Palin slimed

(Graphic: mine) The current issue of Slime magazine features a cover story on Republican candidate for Vice President, Sarah Palin, who this week broke with running mate Senator John McCain on the issue of same-sex marriage. Down in the polls, but looking absolutely resplendent in her spanking new $150,000.00 wardrobe, Mrs Palin sat down with [...]

Newswank apology issued

Sarah Palin on the campaign trail in the state of Kansas (Cover: mine) In other non-essential news, the editors of Newswank magazine, responding to complaints from the McCain-Palin presidential campaign, have issued a lukewarm apology for publishing a cover story featuring an un-retouched photograph of Alaska governor and self-avowed hockey-mom, Sarah Palin. Republican campaign officials, [...]

The bright side

(Cover: mine) Who says there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Now, I’ll be humming that Eric Idle tune all day.
