General Colin Powell, the Former Secretary of State under President George W Bush has come out of the closet for Obama, saying the Senator from Illinois is just what the country needs.
V.P. Republican candidate Sarah Palin appears on Saturday Night Live, did she rock or did she bomb? We thought she excelled in her first skit with Lorne Michaels but the second skit at the news desk just fell flat. We almost felt sorry for her as she had to endure Amy Poehler’s rap.
Who is better at imitating Sarah Palin? Tina Fey, La Pequeña or Sarah Palin herself?
Angelina Jolie robs an Italian bank, Republican Voter Fraud, the William Tell musical road gets its groove back and the Iran’s delicious sandwich for mass consumption.
Fresh, funny and fabulous- Feast of Fools.

We are too excited! The special “What Not to Wear” Feast of Fools mashup TV show airs this Friday on TLC and we cant decide what to wear for the viewing party at Hydrate in Chicago from 7-9 PM.
Everybody’s favorite trannie on the internet Tracy Tyler joins us today to share her saucy stories of networking on the highway of love. Yes, Tracy always seems to find herself in the most unusual romantic circumstances. Just how does she do it?
October 11th was National Coming Out Day so we give some advice to a long time listeners who’s struggling to come out while serving as a police officer in NYC. The problem isn’t just coming out for him, but he’s having a hard time figuring out how to recover from the lies he told to keep him in the closet. Listen to the show out what depths some people will go to keep their sexuality a secret.
Princess Sarah Palin? Just weeks away from the election, genealogists have released the lineage of the tyrant from the tundra, Sarah Palin- she’s the tenth cousin of Princess Diana. The sudden release of these type of news sound like desperation to me. If you dig deep enough, everyone is related to somebody important. Did you also know that Barak Obama is distant cousin to Hollywood mega-hunk Brad Pitt?
Plus questions from you our listeners answered via Tracy’s Psychic abilities- Should I date this cute boy in my high school? How do I get my partner to become more adventurous? And why is the 1979 special needs romance movie “Like Normal People,” starring Linda Purl and Shaun Cassidy so important in the fight for gay rights?
Tell your mama to vote for Obama!

Today we bid a tearful goodbye to Don La Fontaine, the King of Voice overs who lent his voice for over three decades to over five thousand movie trailers.
The man popularized the catch phrase “In a world where…” and helped define the industry of professional movie trailer voice overs.
In a world without the king of voiceovers, movie previews will not be as electrifying and thrilling. Don lent his voice to movie trailers like the Simpons Movie, Fatal Attraction, Batman Returns, Terminator and T2. Hasta la vista Don!

Amanda Steinstein joins us once again to share with us life after being “transformed” by Stacy London and Clinton Kelley on the popular TLC realty tv show “What Not to Wear.” It looks like the intervention worked because she doesn’t look bad. In fact, she looks great.
Guess what? We’re announcing the air date for the special episode, and you’re all invited to come watch the show with us that night! Time and location to be announced but we are really looking forward to sharing this fun and exciting experience with you all. Whoop!
Helen Mirren confesses to her love of cocaine in the 80s. It turns out the Oscar winning actress liked to snort a few rails until she found out that the men who sold cocaine were Nazi drug barons.
The 63-year-old, who won an Academy Award for her role in “The Queen,” was quoted by GQ magazine as saying she used to dabble in marijuana and cocaine when she was younger.
“I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a little bit at parties, but what ended it for me was when they caught (Nazi war criminal) Klaus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyon, in the early 80s. He was hiding in South America and living off the proceeds of being a cocaine baron.”
Everyone wants to know who the oh so cute iPhone girl is. The iPhone girl turns out to be a factory worker who tested the photo component on the iPhone. She was suppose to delete the photo but she didn’t on a few of them. Concerned iPhone owners were worried that she would be fired from her job for her error but rest assure that she still has her job churning out your fantastic phones.
Amanda is finally taking our advice and will go for a jump in the lake. On September 20, 2008 she will join people from all around the world to clean up our waters during International Cleanup Day. The Project Aware Foundation spearheads global underwater cleanups and addresses the devastating impact of marine debris on the aquatic environment. We can’t wait to find out what Amanda will find at the bottom of Lake Michigan.
Can we now blame our bad behavior on our genes? Scientists have discovered that men who have certain alleles, or members of a pair or series of different forms of a gene, are less likely to be in happy or monogamous relationship. About 40% of men have one or two of the alleles which puts them at risk for marital discord or divorce. And if you have two of the alleles you are at a greater risk than if you have just one. If you have none of these alleles, then you’re probably already in a relationship. Why is that all the good alleles are already taken?
What the heck is up with Sarah Palin? We are still confused why McCain chose this unlikely running mate. Some people are saying that her daughter being pregnant should be off limits in this campaign. Now, we would agree with them if it weren’t for the fact that she parades her kids around as some testament to why she is a good leader and person. She opened the door to the argument. If she can’t teach her own kids her style of morality then how is she going to be any kind of moral leader to the nation?
In a world without the Feast of Fools, would people still own iPods?

We can’t keep it in any longer. It’s time to release the pressure!
Today we announce the juicy details of our upcoming reality tv show project and Amanda Steinstein is all over it. The producers of TLC’s #1 show “What Not To Wear” starring Stacy London and Clinton Kelly have found what may be the worst dressed woman in North America in our friend Amanda. Eek!
Did you really expect anyone else? Amanda loves to combine black leggings, loud Hawaiian shirts and flip flops and call it evening wear. And like my past obsession with the color blue, Amanda just can’t get enough of the color purple and I’m not talking about the Oscar Nominated film starring Whoopi Goldberg.
We have been having so much fun being a part of this project, breaking into Amanda’s home while she was at work with a camera crew, going through her stuff and saying some really funny, but really mean things about Amanda’s taste in fashion and clothes.
I’m afraid I might have gone too far, but that’s fashion. I just hope people don’t start hating me like they did Jeffrey Sebella when he was (and won) Project Runway. After all, the similarity in our looks is a bit scary.
Amanda will be flown for an all-expenses paid trip to NYC to be torn apart and like the bionic woman, she will be put back together as a better, stronger and more fabulous person! We’ll finally have the Amanda we’ve always wanted. Thank God!
The taping of the show has been so much fun and we’d love to invite ALL of you to Amanda’s unveiling, which I’m hoping will resemble the scene from Rocky Horror Picture Show as Frankfurter unwraps Rocky. We are all cheering Amanda on in her new transformation! Yeah Amanda!
Amanda says that when lots of good things happen to you all at once, it’s like having lollipops raining down on you. At first they hurt when they bonk you over the head, but afterwards you have a bunch of lollipops to enjoy.
Listen as we talk about the brand new iPhone 2.0 and all the new apps that allow you to cruise and bruise wherever you choose, your skin’s ability to make it’s own marijuana chemicals and the new gay Republican sex scandal featuring Alabama Attorney General Troy King.
We know Troy is a good name for a porn star, but this jerk has spent many years fighting against people getting sex toys in Alabama and actively worked against gay rights legislation. Rumors say that he got caught getting jiggy with his male assistant by his wife.
Also, a blackbird in England learns how to sound like a ambulance to the delight of neighbors and the sexy Chilean Subway Goddess.
Always fresh and digitally delicious- Feast of Fools.
