Tip of the Cap to the First Lady

Michelle Obama has launched a proposal for food label overhauls. Instead of giving stats for eating 1/3 or 1/2 the product it will reveal the amount in the total product. This sounds like a simple change, but something my college educated father still misinterprets. It will also force the Grocery Manufacture Association to show how much total fat. saturated fats, and trans fat. Here is an example.



Oh damn you mean there is 75 grams of sugar in a 20OZ bottle of cola?! Maybe Bloomberg was onto something. Oh if you have not seen the Jimmy Fallon skit, worth watching. Thanks Michelle in your relentless pursuit of keeping us healthy.

Uganda Puts Out Top 200 Gays List

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has signed a list of the top 200 gays in the country published by local newspaper Red Pepper. The list includes a gay activist, a hip-hop star, and a Catholic priest (duh). Is this list the most sexually active gays in the country or the 200 most dapper gays likely to swoon a straight person?
This list has spurred the top 20 gays in the U.S. of Gay. God Bless these Innovative Gays.

Ellen DeGeneres


One of the most powerful of her kind. Dominates daytime TV. So much funnier than Oprah.

Rosie O'Donnell


Had a good run in the 90s.. plus look at her squeeze. Thatta girl, Rosie!



Perez Hilton


Has created a job of posting pictures of people doing normal things.

Jessie Tyler Ferguson


1/2 of America's favorite TV couple

Ricky Martin


Oh did not we all "Livin  la Vida  Loca" at one point

Clay Aiken


Oh, American Idol seems so long ago.

Lance Bass



Every 90s teenyboppers crush turned into their gay best friend in the 00s.


Tom Ford



A brilliant fashion designer.  Owes a huge thank you to Jay-Z for rapping about him. Now he has all the homies carrying about his fashion line.

Andy Cohen


A great TV executive/host the women cannot get enough of on Bravo.  Ryan Seacrest better watch out.

Neil Patrick Harris


Went from everyone's favorite child doctor to playing a straight womanizing stud on How I Met Your Mother.

Chris Hughes


Co-founded Facebook and parlayed into Editor in Chief for the New Republic. Married Sean Elridge, who is running for congress in New York. Something tells me we might have the first man of the White House in 30 years.

Frank Ocean



Emerging rapper who broke out with the group, Odd Future. Launched his solo career and became a true groundbreaker by coming out in an industry that is known for its homophobia.

Peter Thiel



Cofounder of PayPal and early investor in Facebook. Will be a presence for a long time to come.

Nate Silver


He appears to be less funny Nick Kroll, but is truly innovational with his ideas. Made his name with baseball Sabremetrics and elections with Psephology.

Anderson Cooper



Great anchor for CNN and does great work for  60 Minutes. Did you see him swimming with Crocodiles?!

Shepherd Smith



Gives Fox a lot of street credit in his recent outing of being gay. A good anchor Fox  desperately needs on their side.

Tammy Baldwin



Became the first openly gay senator in 2012. Cheers for progression, Tammy.

Tim Cook



CEO of Apple and has the tall task of following Steve Jobs.

Rachel Meadow



Sean Hannity's favorite person.

Suze Orman


The ultimate swiss army knife.  Serious 5 tool player. Author, motivational speaker, host,  and financial advisor.


Ryan Secrets




Come On, Ryan, enough of the charade. You are not fooling anyone.

San Francisco Game of Thrones

San Francisco is filled with more neighborhoods than one is able to keep track of. People rely heavily on the stereotypes.  What better way to sum it up than comparing the neighborhoods to the houses in Game of Thrones? My thoughts exactly.

Marina- House Lannister of Casterly Rock

Telling people you live in the Marina is the equivalent of telling them I do not understand the concept of checking my bank account. Absurd wealth, fuck you money, unlimited supply of good looking people, and nothing money cannot buy you out of.

Joffrey Baratheon


The smug King who is only 13, but is somehow ruling the city. Good looking and bratty enough for you to actually despise a child. You might catch Joffrey on Chestnut street with a handful of servants discussing with him his stock portfolio and explaining to him that his offer to buy SnapChat for 5 billion got turned down.

Cersei Lannister


The ridiculously good looking Cougar that has a commanding presence and always has a different guy buying her drinks at Balboa Cafe. She skates around the Marina to maintain her dominance and inform the 20 something yogis her ass is still fantastic.

Jamie Lannister


The really good looking guy that seems to have a great job, phenomenal hair, and his pick for women when he desires to pick up the latest crop from the Tipsy Pig.

Tenderloin- House Bolton

Ramsay Snow


For how beautiful the city can be, you are quickly reminded how evil it can be. Bad enough trying to walk through the piss sewn streets during the day dodging the crackheads, but attempting to walk through there at night you risk dismemberment. Dangerous enough where you cannot just gentrify a few apartments and expect tenants to not be suspicious why their rent is 1/2 the price.

SOMA- House of Greyjoy

Theon Greyjoy


In typical startup fashion, will be deafly loyal till a better opportunity is found. Has no problem sleeping with your girlfriend or his sister for that matter. Completely unpredictable whether will be successful or not.

Asha Greyjoy


Your Lena Durham of her times. Smart and clever enough to use her sexuality to be noticed and pose a threat. You feel that Asha had to be involved in the making of the LuLu app and ultimately brought the demise of her brother.


The Castro- House Tyrell

Loras Tyrell


Gays tend to be real, nice polite people until you kill their lover. Loras is out for blood and this time it will not come from an orficie.

Margaery Tyrol


The only person more conniving than a gay guy is a gay guy's sister. Margaery has strategically wed Joffrey Baratheon, the King of the seven kingdoms. A pure, power move. She is playing chess while her opponent thinks it is a simple game of checkers.

Mission- House Baratheon

Melisandre of Assasi



Red headed mistress that lures in everyone that likes to be different. Has magical abilities and makes you feel she is your drug. Her mystic has a grasp over you that you cannot explain to your East Coast parents.

Stannis Baratheon


Headed to the Mission after too many dead fish encounters in the Marina. Always intrigued by the women of the Mission and is patiently building  his army to regain his rightful throne.

Lower Haight- House Targaryen

Daenerys Targaryen



The new, rising neighborhood which everyone is talking about. The right blend of beauty and badass. A rising starlet that is not going to go quietly. I mean Dragons is all you need to know.

East Bay-  White Walkers



You hear rumors that people live over the Bay Bridge, but you do not really believe it. North of the Wall might as well be Siberia.  I hear they do not even use condoms over there. Steer Clear.

The Dutch should stick to Cheese and Flowers

Dutch speedskating coach Jillert Anema knows how the United States can improve on its Olympic 0-fer on the Sochi ovals -- stop playing sports like football.
"You have a lot of attention for foolish sport, like American football," Anema told CNBC on Friday. "You waste a lot of talent, athletic talent, in a sport where it's meant to kill each other, to injure each other.

AnemaYou have a lot of attention for foolish sport, like American football. You waste a lot of talent, athletic talent, in a sport where it's meant to kill each other, to injure each other.
-- Jillert Anema,
Dutch speedskating coach
"... (The U.S.) is so narrow-minded, and you waste a lot of good talent in a sport that sucks."









Jillert, I will give you credit. The US can be pig headed about its obsession with American Football. I do apologize we are not fascinated by a sport where you continuously make circles on a large track of ice. I would have to disagree with dedicating time to sports  and not succeeding at them. Your beautiful country has spent half a century attempting to play "total football" (soccer) in a stylish manner. Where has it got you? Do you remember 1974 World Cup? Your team scored the first goal against West Germany without the Germans touching the ball. Your hubris, mocking team forgot one thing… to win    the FUCKING game! You lost 2-1. You returned in 1978 to the finals, but only to be without your best player, Johan Cruyff, who was boycotting the games because of the military dictatorship in power in Argentina. You got ever so close last time in South Africa, but seem to lack…what is the word I am looking for… killer instinct. No, the US soccer team will not beat the Netherlands in 2014 or 2018, but I am willing to bet our country built on determination and hard work, will lift the World Cup trophy before yours. Maybe if you are lucky, we will let you suck on our balls.

Nucs & Nuns

Anti-nuclear activists (from left) Gregory Boertje-Obed, Sister Megan Rice and Michael Walli, pictured Feb. 6 in Knoxville, Tenn., were sentenced to prison terms on Tuesday for the 2012 break-in at Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge.


If I have learned two things in life, you do not mess with are nuclear weapons and nuns. Both highly sophisticated and complicated creations. One created by God's work, the other created to prove there is no God. 84 year old Susan Rice received 3 year sentence in prison after breaking into a Nuclear Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. She preceded to sing bible verses and spread blood on the walls. Rice was super bummed out to find out she did not get life. This was her plea to the judge before the final sentence.

"Please have no leniency on me," Rice told the judge. "To remain in prison for the rest of my life would be the greatest honor you could give me."

Some of the most intimidating people I have met in my life were nuns. Always staring right through your soul. I can still remember crying after a playground fight in fear of seeing the Nun principal in elementary school. Those bitches ruled with an Iron Ruler.

What is Behind the Mask?!

Valentina Lizana Wallner is the net minder for Sweden hockey team. I respect Valentina following her passion as a goalie, but it should be illegal to put a mask on such beauty.



















Leave Bode Alone



On Sunday, Bode Miller took home his U.S. record 6th olympic medal getting the Bronze in the Men's Super G.  Miller's teammate, Andrew Weibrecht took home the Silver medal. Miller became the most decorated U.S. alpine skier and the oldest alpine skier to medal. A great story for the papers, but unfortunately not the one told.
Miller was brought to tears post race by an interviewer asking whether this run was for his deceased brother. Miller was choked up and attempted to finish the interview. Christin Cooper, the interviewer did her job in asking more leading questions as Miller displayed emotion. After Miller walked away, the outcry on social media was she was excessive. Nonsense. Miller showed how dedicated and passionate he is about alpine skiing (something that has been continuously questioned in the past). I applaud Miller for being real and honest. I credit Ms. Cooper for doing her job.
To show you how unfair it is to judge Miller for his 3rd place finish, let us take a look at Weibrecht's career. Weibrecht has finished on the podium in his skiing career a grand total of two times. Once in 2010 at the Vancouver Olympics and yesterday in Sochi. He has never been ranked above #50 in the past six years. In the last 11 years (minus 2013 injured), Bode Miller has been ranked in the #20 and ranked in the top #4 seven consecutive years. He has finished on the podium 78 times!
Imagine if you were evaluated once every four years for your job. Would you be comfortable with how it reflects your performance? Of course not. Thank you, Bode for always being true to yourself. Your brash, unedited self will be missed.
