kissing jessica stein. like more straight women should be encouraged to use lesbians to raise their low self-esteem.

i feel like in the 90's, it was much more common to sit backwards on your chair. i guess doing anything backwards was bigger in the 90's.

I think that acting is our society's way of keeping very charming people from becoming dictators.

I love Lady Gaga to death, but I just want to point out that whenever she is asked about a career decision/fashion decision, she says "we decided" etc etc. Just goes to prove my suspicion that her career is tightly counseled by a panel of brilliant gay men. Her videos, her clothes, her production are just too good, there's no way that one 20-something woman could be responsible for it. And that's no judgment on her, besides to say that she is making some really smart decisions. But I am inclined to say that the genius is a team effort.

Is it just me? I mean, perhaps I am kind of a prude. But do friends really kiss each other on the lips? Is that something people are doing and no one told me? I need to get out more.

OMFG, I think this is really exciting. It's exactly what I've just been saying, that if there was something like a kindle, but that is somewhere between an iphone and a computer....

The Briefing Room

12:45pm EDT

Q: Larry, does the President have any reaction to the announcement ­ the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, that AIDS is now an epidemic and have over 600 cases?

MR. SPEAKES: What's AIDS?

Q: Over a third of them have died. It's known as "gay plague." (Laughter.) No, it is. I mean it's a pretty serious thing that one in every three people that get this have died. And I wondered if the President is aware of it?

MR. SPEAKES: I don't have it. Do you? (Laughter.)

Q: No, I don't.

MR. SPEAKES: You didn't answer my question.

Q: Well, I just wondered, does the President ­

MR. SPEAKES: How do you know? (Laughter.)

Q: In other words, the White House looks on this as a great joke?

MR. SPEAKES: No, I don't know anything about it, Lester.

Q: Does the President, does anyone in the White House know about this epidemic, Larry?

MR. SPEAKES: I don't think so. I don't think there's been any ­

Q: Nobody knows?

MR. SPEAKES: There has been no personal experience here, Lester.

Q: No, I mean, I thought you were keeping ­

MR. SPEAKES: I checked thoroughly with Dr. Ruge this morning and he's had no ­ (laughter) ­ no patients suffering from AIDS or whatever it is.

Q: The President doesn't have gay plague, is that what you're saying or what?

MR. SPEAKES: No, I didn't say that.

Q: Didn't say that?

MR. SPEAKES: I thought I heard you on the State Department over there. Why didn't you stay there? (Laughter.)

Q: Because I love you Larry, that's why (Laughter.)

MR. SPEAKES: Oh I see. Just don't put it in those terms, Lester. (Laughter.)

Q: Oh, I retract that.

MR. SPEAKES: I hope so.

Q: It's too late.
