Three Wise woMen

In Celebration of The Feast of The Epiphany...

Guess which was my favorite gift under the tree this Christmas? Yep! The Bible! Martha Stewart’s Homekeeping Handbook. This is an amazing collection of household hints that truly is indispensable. As annoying as Martha is on TV she is that fantastic in print. No awkward pauses, no straining for warmth, no feeble attempts at appearing human, just the facts! Plain simple advice for more gracious living! BUY IT! You won’t be sorry.

Speaking of wise ladies, my condolences to BETTY FORD. This woman has, without exaggeration, saved thousands of lives. And did so much to advance the national conversation, by taking previously taboo topics i.e. abortion, breast cancer, alcoholism, out of the closet.
I know it is for history’s sake, but must we torture these elderly widows with these week long pageants of mourning? The air travel alone! Back & forth across the country; CA to D.C. to MI to CA in a week! Mrs. Ford like Mrs. Reagan before her looked simply done in. JACKIE was in her early 30s & could take it!

And also my sympathies to MEGAN MULLALLY on the cancellation of her talk show. I really liked her style! (And told her so when we met in Vegas last month) Her whole attitude was that of having friends over for a chat in her living room. Casual, natural & not forced. I know the talented EMMY winner & gay icon will bounce back with something bigger & better. The talk show gig is harder than it looks. But why is Megan off the air when DR. PHIL & CARSON DAILY are still sucking up the airwaves?
Hello! iVILLAGE! If you need a replacement for Megan, TheGayGardener is so ready for his closeup!

Thanks to GAWKER for this headsup about The Gays & The Net

A recent national survey found that more online gay, lesbian and bisexual (GLB) individuals use social networks Friendster and MySpace per week compared to online heterosexuals. Other well-known websites such as YouTube, Craigslist and personal web logs also were found to be more popular among GLB individuals.
Even more significant is that gays and lesbians are online much more than their heterosexual counterparts. Excluding email, nearly twice as many gays and lesbians (32%) say they are online between 24 and 168 hours per week, compared to 18 percent of heterosexuals.

Congratulations to MATT LAUER on his 10th Anniversary on the TODAY Show. Love Mattie but every time he admits that BRYANT GUMBLE is his best friend, I cringe! No wonder Annette is always threatening to leave him!
