Did I just see that? Yesterday’s political democratic political debate between Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama was unusually chummy, almost romantic.
Although the two sparred over immigration and “The-Quagmire-In-Iraq” issues, they went so out of their way to praise each other, I thought they were going to make out during the debate.
“I was friends with Hillary Clinton before we started this campaign. I will be friends with Hillary Clinton after this campaign is over,” Obama said as he winked at her.
“We’re having a wonderful time,” Clinton said at one point with bedroom eyes.
When asked if they would consider having each other on the same ticket, they responded by it was too early to discuss, but not out of the question. Will the Carpenters “We’ve Only Just Begun” become the Democratic Campaign 2008 theme song?
Will we see a Clinton-Obama or an Obama-Clinton ticket? Or as I like to say a “Driving Miss Daisy” campaign or a “Jungle Fever” one? Don’t be surprised if we see them teaming up for real.
Meanwhile, be sure to record this years Oscar Awards ceremony, not for the dazzling celebrities and over the top fashion, but because the matriarch of “America’s Most Hated Family” Shirley Phelps and her clan plan on protesting the event because of gay-friendly actor Heath Ledger’s death. Check out our in-depth interview with her and gay writer Josh-Kilmer Purcell done last week.
Marc figured it wouldn’t hurt to directly email Shirley the question- “Who will Shirley Phelps be wearing to protest the red carpet?” Here’s part of her answer:
I will be wearing “Dead of Winter – get out of the cold and into LA warmer weather WBC Picketasourous Rex Extraordinaire”! It will include my lovely red - GOD HATES FAGS.COM front with GOD HATES AMERICA.COM back! If the weather is leaning into the cooler numbers, my ensem[sic] will include a nice black under armor for sleeves! The slacks must be long (as opposed to shorts – since February is NOT good for any good picketers worth their salt tanned look!) and something black.
Stunned by her response, I created a rough mock-up of her concept. I still think she should consider working in Bjorks Swan dress into her look.
Join Marc Felion and me, Fausto Fernós as we talk about rainbow flag stickers being banned in Florida high schools, Irish Catholic’s being torn apart by the clash between St. Patrick’s Day and Easter this year, when enemas go wrong and this year’s up-and-coming Superbowl XLII.
Join us this Sunday, Feb. 3 from 9:30-10:30pm central AFTER the Superbowl to talk about Paula Abdul’s Pre-Show, Tom Petty’s Half-time Show and the bizarre, decadent, overproduced, sexualized commercials that inevitably pop up every year.
Call (646) 595-4857 or listen in LIVE at www.blogtalkradio.com/feastoffools.
Will we be seeing more garage mechanic’s making out over a candy bar? I certainly hope so.
A Feast of Fools a day helps you work, rest and play.

February 1, 2008 at 10:32That would be hilarious if Christian made Shirley Phelps an Oscar gown. Although it may trigger the apocalypse. LOL

DCRyan says:
February 1, 2008 at 13:08Aww now I feel like I don’t comment enough, I need a spanking by both of you hot men…or i’ll just make sure to comment on the celebrity episodes.
Anyhow, I agree with the earlier comment, I love the shows with just you two and I must say you were on point in the podcast today, I had several of my laughing-out-loud-in-public-and-having-people-stare-at-me moments. And I love the Easter Eggs, I’ve been looking out for one for a while.
DCRyan says:
February 1, 2008 at 13:16Oh, and I’ve always loved the term “Fruit Fly.” It’s kinda cute and not as offensive. Though I realize the idea of a fly could be something like an annoying thing that flys around you, which is not exactly positive, but I like to think of it as a cute little fly that is flying around a piece of pretty fruit….OK maybe i’ve thought about this too much, but there’s my input.
Oh can you pleeeeeeeeeease play Baby Teeth - Dream again in an upcoming show. Whenever I hear it start the show, it remeinds me of the first time I listened to the podcast when Baby Teeth was in the regular rotation.

February 1, 2008 at 19:43So, Obama got a MoveOn endorsement today, and one for the LA Times. MAJOR. What a fantastic way to end the week.
Can’t wait for Ssssssssuper Tuesday!
RcktMan says:
February 2, 2008 at 05:21I didn’t think Ari was boring at all. And neither was this show. You guys had me laughing more than a few times.
I’m all for Christian making a dress for Shirley. Could you imagine a dual-guest show with those two? That’d be hysterical. Or creepy. Or both.
Have fun at the Equality IL thing tomorrow. Seems everyone is going but me. Oh well. I have other plans anyway.

February 2, 2008 at 08:36Wow, I thought the PSA by CHI CHI LARUE was funny and hypocritical.
She won’t make a movie of BB Porn, but she will sell all the old BB Porn that is in her library of companies she has bought. Wouldn’t showing the old BB pre-HIV movies be promoting BB sex?
Personally for me the couple of times I have BB with people that said they were clean (even though I or they pulled out before shooting) was never worth the mental anguish caused when the first flu sign or such came around and you are wondering if it is more than just a regular illness.
The rest of the show was fun, since I don’t get to hear you banter back and forth very much.

February 2, 2008 at 14:21I really like this format a lot - the random news and witty commentary. I also like guests, but have missed this type of show recently.
The Phelps family also decided to protest at the funeral of recently deceased Mormon prophet/church president/leader Gordon B. Hinckley because the Mormon church is supposedly too soft on gay issues. HA!
Question. What channel is the superbowl on?
Yagerma says:
February 3, 2008 at 10:33Let’s make this presidential election more interesting… Maybe Shirley Phelps should run as Romney’s VP runningmate. Now THAT would make for a set of interesting debates. That would be better than Quayle and Perot’s runningmate (Stockdale, I think)
merboy says:
February 3, 2008 at 14:15In Spain they have hardcore porn on every night on local as well as satellite channels after midnight, and nobody bats an eyelid. One of the channels even shows gay porn. Spain is also one of the few countries to recognize gay marriage as marriage and not civil union or anything like that, and pretty much told the Vatican to go fuck itself. They also withdrew their troops from Iraq in opposition of the war.
If you let people jerk off, it makes for a happier country

I totally agree!

February 4, 2008 at 21:31As my tagline states — I have two baby girls with my life partner — i know that the podcast is meant to be fun but this edition went a little far around either having a baby or getting aids — which would you choose — we planned and paid dearly for someone to carry our little girls and wouldn’t have it any other way.

February 5, 2008 at 11:09The Christians in the Netherlands (or some of them anyway) God mad because Deep Throat is being aired by one of the government funded broadcasters. So their reasoning was: I am not paying taxes to get porn aired. My response: well I am not paying to give airtime to your evangelical crap, and yet…
That said: Deep Throat is a really, really bad movie, only of vague historical interest. And a bit dubious because the leading ‘lady’ claimed to have been raped.
Chi Chi’s PSA was very effective; I felt like slipping on a condom right away - and the only thing I was riding at the time was my bike!
