Jesus as a gay alienThe Vatican has been huffing a little too much of its own incense. They are saying it’s ok to belive in aliens. You go girl!

This past week their cheif astronomer, the Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes said that the “vastness of the universe means it’s possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.”

Funes said that ruling out the existence of aliens would be like “putting limits” on God’s creative freedom.

So it’s okay to believe in aliens but not faeries.

Its okay for this centuries old cult, who’s had a history of stopping scientific and intellectual progress, even imprisoning astronomers like Galileo, to suddenly embrace the possibility that E.T. might be a Jesus loving freak just like them.

get-onyourknees-jesusAre they dipping their toe in the waters of modernity? Is this large religious body examining the possibility of looking beyond their scripture, maybe even embracing our own sexual diversity as a good thing?

Listener Grizzly put it best in our forum: “Are aliens what God created on that day when he was supposed to rest, but got bored and doodled around a bit in the margins?”

Everybody run, the homecoming queen has got a gun.If you live in New Orleans and love to dress up in drag and look good, stay away from the Burger King. A six-foot, 180 lbs drag queen wearing a necklace that perfectly matcher her dress robbed a Burger King in “The City that Care Forgot” last week, by climbing out the takeout window.

Police speculate that the robber was a “genuine” drag queen and not some guy hiding behind a weird costume because his outfit was so well put together. Her necklace matched her dress.

Oh cabin fever, spring fever. As the city of Chicago gets invaded by thousands of leather men, rubber fetishists and human dogs you can’t help but speculate the origins of all this sexual diversity and intensity.

We think it has something to do with chilly weather.

As T.S. Eliot said in his legendary poem: “April is the cruelest month.” What he means by that phrase is that springtime is not only a time of reawakening, it’s a way to let the sexual being inside you flourish. That is great when you have someone or someplace to flourish with, but if you’re stuck in a bad place, you gotta let that heat out somehow.

We think places where people spend a lot of time indoors may have a factor in nurturing the freak inside. But that really doesn’t explain people in sunny warm California, so go figure.

I do, I do, I do believe in angels, devils, aliens and faeries, I believe in the Feast of Fools, I believe in crystal light because I believe in me!
