So the media has finally found a member of the LGBT community they feel comfortable criticizing/downplaying: a Republican one. On Wednesday night’s edition of ET, the show led with coverage of Caitlyn Jenner going through the drive-thru at Jack in the Box. I suppose to show all men out there that just because you change the way you “self-identity,” the Sourdough Jacks and Spicy Sriracha burgers need not stop.
There is hope.

Over the past two days, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have completely censored liberal Houston Mayor Annise Parker’s attempt to subpoena sermons of five pastors critical of the mayor, homosexuality, gender identity, or the city’s new “equal rights” ordinance.

The Critics’ Choice Awards are decidedly one of the lesser known of the awards season—first, because they air on a Thursday night on the CW (yes, it still exists), and second, because there are conspicuous A-list absences like J-Law and Christian Bale.

How stupid do you have to be to:
- Attempt to move a hostage to a new location without blindfolding or gagging her? Come on! That’s just lazy storytelling.
- Follow the instructions of a PA announcement at a bus station while you’re running away from people who have already demonstrated their ability to be anywhere and do anything?

This was the pilot. Pilots are weird. There’s usually a lot
