Friday Night Video – (Newly Married) Rufus Wainwright, “Zing! Went the Strings of my Heart”

August 24, 2012 by 2 Comments

Rufus Wainwright married boyfriend Jorn Weisbrodt on Thursday in Montauk, with lots of celebrity friends in attendance. (And presumably some plebeians as well.) My favorite song of his remains “Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk,” but it seems more appropriate to post a more uplifting song on this occasion. I’m not sold on the dancing, but I adore that voice, which exudes warmth and melancholy in delicious combination.

National Review to Romney: Chicks Dig Rich Guys

August 24, 2012 by Leave a comment

That’s Rich

The conventional biological wisdom is that men select mates for fertility, while women select for status … From an evolutionary point of view, Mitt Romney should get 100 percent of the female vote.

–Kevin D. Williamson, National Review

Explains Kevin: the gals really go
For the rich guys! A big CEO
Is an absolute smash
Due to power and cash.
And an egghead-professor-type? No.

So the female vote ought to be Mitt’s.
He should blast the incumbent to bits.
On the chick-magnet scale
He’s the big alpha male,
While Obama is clearly the pits.

I have just one addition here, noting
Women don’t have a habit of doting
On political hacks
Who show thinking so lax
They confuse things like mating and voting.
