Tube Watch for this Weekend

I was looking to see if there was anything of interest on the telly this weekend.

Friday night has a new episode of Real Time with Bill Maher. I was worried, because his seasons are short and last week was a rerun, but tonight's episode is new and live. I DVR this show and sometimes it is good and sometimes, ehhh?

I just started watching a new series on Starz called Party Down. It is about a group of cater waitiers in LA. One of the stars of the show is Jane Lynch, who you might know from Best in Show and the 40-Year-Old Virgin. I love her. She is on the far right of the photo. You can watch some full episodes at the Starz web site by clicking here.

Also on this weekend, is a Barbra Streisand live concert on CBS. It is a 2006 concert airing to promote a DVD release she has coming out. First the bad news: Her special guest is Il Divo. The good news is she will be singing "The Way We Were," "Somewhere," "Evergreen" and a Broadway version reprise of "Don't Rain On My Parade."

Also on Saturday night, Animal Planet is airing another episode of Groomer Has It. This is their version of Project Runway with dog groomers. It was surprisingly entertaining. It is hosted by former Queer Eye regular Jai Rodriguez. Episodes of this can also be found online here.

Pulpit Power Pipes in on DC Marriage Equality Vote

There was an article in today's Washington Post by Michelle Boorstein on Washington DC-area pastors' effort to influence the upcoming vote on DC recognizing same-sex marriage and civil unions performed elsewhere.

The article states, "D.C.-area clergy who oppose same-sex unions are forming a coalition, but only time will tell how influential they will be on the vote. Politics-watchers in the District have noted in recent years that local clergy don't have as much political clout on politics in the city as they did in previous years."

The article goes on to say, "In a letter sent to clergy, the coalition says, "If we fail to act now, history will ask - 'Where were the pastors?'" I am thinking that history more likely will ask why are these idiots worrying about who gets married when there are people in the District that are homeless and starving! This is their priority? Did I miss the story where all the other problems in the world went away and homos getting married is the worst thing going on?

The anti-gay coalition of the men of God is having a rally in DC on Wednesday, April 28 at "Freedom Plaza." How's that for irony?

Favorite Running Song -- "Found Out About You" by the Gin Blossoms

I LOVE running to this song.
