This quote from the HBO series, Newsroom, perfectly describes the main problem I have with the Republican Party. One might choose to believe that the Republican Party isn’t quite that extreme, but I’d like to remind everyone of the responses from many in the Republican Party after the Supreme Courts’ rulings on the Defense of Marriage Act and California’s shameful Prop 8.
Looking for an excuse to go out tonight? Have you hit up Andy Husbands $2 Taco Tuesday at Tremont 647 and Sister Sorel?
If you’re looking for a fun cheap eats option in Boston, head over to Tremont 647 and Sister Sorel and enjoy some tasty tacos and tell Andy “BosGuy” sent you over. I need me some complementary tacos so I can spend my $ on Planters Punch at the Boat Slip this week.
The Boston Harbor Hotel’s 15th Summer in the City Entertainment Series is in full swing. The 2013 season offers music and movies starting at sunset 5 nights a week, but each night has a different theme:
Mondays – Thursdays: Live band performances run from 6:00 – 10:00pm and on Fridays music begins at 4:30pm and movies start at dusk. You can download the full calendar of events including performing artists and movie calendar here.
Jasun Mark has teamed up with his buddies Justin King and Dario Beck and found a fun way to deal with being stuck in rush hour traffic, while driving from Los Angeles to Palm Springs.
You may recall that earlier this spring my buddy, Dirk Caber, participated in a similar car video, singing along to Kylie’s song, Timebomb.
With many Americans now obsessing about a short work week, this call for a kiki seems timely – enjoy.
I absolutely love this 4 minute video by Filmmaker Sean Collins who said he created this timelapse video to pay tribute to Boston.
If you’ve never been to Boston, this clip will show you all the major sites from the comfort of wherever you happen to be, and if you are a Bostonian now living elsewhere, this will certainly bring a smile to your face and fill you with pride.
You can read the article by Steve Annear that features this clip on Boston Magazine here.
Hmm… I need to start paying way more attention to this sport.

The Fourth of July celebrations have already started in Provincetown, but things really start to heat up over the next few days.
Will I see you at the Andrew Christian fashion show or dancing at night at Paramount? Let me know if you are in Provincetown this week and where you will be going and certainly say hello if you see me out and about. Sergio and I arrive on Wednesday afternoon, July 3rd.
FYI – You can still purchase Crown & Anchor party passes here.
Later this week the Boston Pops and the City of Boston will host one of the country’s largest 4th of July celebrations in the United States. This will also be the first time the national spotlight will be on the city of Boston since the bombings in April so expect tighter than normal security.
Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular Event Schedule
If you are planning to enjoy the celebrations down along the Charles River have a great time. I will be hightailing it out of the city of Boston and heading to Provincetown.
What will you be doing to celebrate Independence Day?
Absolutely loved US Representative and House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi’s, response when she was asked earlier this week about conservative wing nut, Michele Bachmann’s intense denunciation of the US Supreme Court’s historic rulings in favor of gay marriage.
Did you miss Pelosi’s awesome dis? You can check it out here.
Much thanks to David over at WGB for initially posting this photograph a week ago. I thought I’d add a bit of fur to this week’s Scruffy Sunday. Do you like?
For those wondering, the Dad is actually a judge.
Thanks for sharing C.D.
I’m actually quite happy that I’ve not felt compelled to publish a “Dick of the week” post in quite a while but then I read about Dan Cathy. You may recall Dan Cathy. He is the loudmouth, conservative CEO of Chick-fil-A who last July caused a stir with his comments about how the public’s growing acceptance of marriage equality was, “inviting God’s judgement on our nation.”
What a dick, right? Well after the US Supreme Court’s decision this past week, he couldn’t help himself and felt compelled to Tweet about it. Interestingly, the Tweet was quickly deleted – clearly Mr. Cathy doesn’t seem to understand how the Internet works. What a dumb ass.
