Cloth-covered humanoids crawling out of vaginas, more dry-humping than a Mad Clams party, dancers with reflective balls, a leatherette on a bicycle... the list goes on.

The unifying factor is that all of them had fine music.

And what a panel it was.

Anyone, regardless of race, who finds it inappropriate will not elicit shame or resentment from me, only pity because their discomfort with me is a sure symptom of the zombie virus.

One of the winners is an LGBT icon.

They've always supported Gay people. But for the first time, WMC 2013 is openly recognizing the LGBT community.

It is the chance to make connections that could pay off down the road.

The right of Christians to bear arms against homosexuals is also under siege.

I hate bullies.

Instead of a majestic ocean of deep thought and noble purpose, Jodie Foster's revelations at the Golden Globe Awards gave us a rain puddle on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Such is the case with DebraLee Hovey's statement criticizing Gabby Gifford's visit to the families of victims in the Newtown massacre.

He said he was not equating homosexuality with murder. Actually, he was and he knew it.
