I just can’t get the image of Lauren Bacall or Patricia Neil out of my mind.

In case you missed the wonderful vintage commercials that John Q Sanchez put up on the website earlier this week, go watch them now. Marc and I love to imitate the gravelly voices of Hollywood’s leading ladies shilling de-CAFF-inated coffee and aspirin in television commercials of yesteryear.

Today is Valentine’s Day and if you’re in love, single, slutty or celibate, we’ve got you covered.

Roses are overpriced and full of pesticides, diamonds fund wars and chocolate just promotes child slavery in Africa, so what is THE socially responsible present to give to someone you love this Valentine’s Day?

A firecracker RED Feast of Fools t-shirt and mug of course! The t-shirts are made on sweat-shop free labor by American Apparel and printed in our own back yard by Sharprint in the U.S. of Ayyyyyy! A portion of the proceeds go to support the Trevor Project, the nations premier suicide 24-hour hotline for GLBT youth. 1-866-4-U-TREVOR. Click here to get your mug and t-shirt now.

I believe that any day is a good day to celebrate passion and love. But some folks are just party poopers. A New Zeland florist is refusing to sell red roses on Valentine’s Day because she thinks they are a rip off. Flowers.com is charging almost $100 for a dozen! The Saudi Arabian government is cracking down on people sending each other roses, or gifts for the holiday, saying it’s un-Islamic and promotes extra-marital sex.

Don’t get any ideas City of San Francisco! After all, last year they canceled Halloween, vegans that overrun the city try to kill Thanksgiving and a loose killer Tiger spoiled Christmas.

I can easily imagine people wanting to shut down Valentine’s Day arguing that the day spreads sexually transmitted diseases. You can hear them say “Valentines Day stands for V.D. does it not?”

Somebody who’s getting a spanking this V.D. is Ida-ho Senator Larry Craig, now world famous for getting arrested last summer while he was cruising for sex in a men’s bathroom at the Minneapolis airport.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the Senate Ethics Committee released a “Public Letter of Admonition” shaking their finger at Craig for trying to use his political stature as a Senator to weasel out of getting arrested for public indecency.

Does the irony escape this man? After all, Larry Craig was one of the most vocal politicians to attack President Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades. He’s stood in the way of laws protecting GLBT folks and by these actions has fostered a sexually intolerant atmosphere.

I wonder what he’s getting for Valentine’s Day this year?

The deep brewed podcast with the rich, bold aroma- Feast of Fools.
