Perpetual Gawkstar Choire Sicha better watch his blogger back, 'cause an irate Queerty reader's out for blood. The gay drama when Sicha wrote the following:

Advertising and marketing people spent $223.3 million in 2006 to convince the gays to go various places. God, it was so much cheaper 65 years ago when they used to just load them into boxcars.

To the point and, we think, subversively hilarious.

The aforementioned reader didn't think so, 'cause he wrote to us asking why we hadn't launched a war against Sicha: "Why are you not up in arms about this? We all would if some republican had said the same thing!"

We disagreed…

There's no doubt Perez Hilton's left an indelible - and, at times, irritating - mark on popular culture. In addition to his staggeringly successful blog, the shit-stirrer recently landed a VH1 reality show, appeared on The View and received a "surprise" visit from Victoria Beckham. So, how does Hilton, born Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr, stay humble? He doesn't.

Blogger Jon Swift just sent us an email with a link to an article he claims a reader had sent him in response to his piece, the explosively entitled, "Tim Hardaway Makes Homophobia Look Bad". Obviously we read that piece before checking out the aforementioned link, so let's take a few seconds to work it over.

First and foremost, it's worth mentioning that Swift describes himself as "reasonable conservative" whose only news comes from Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Jay Leno. He must have gotten his lines crossed, though, because in this particular piece, he references CNN's Wolf Blitzer. While covering the Tim Hardaway scandal, Wolfe apparently likened queers in the locker room to queers in the military. Like any good conservative sports fan, Swift took the ball and ran.

A day after Amanda Marcotte announced her departure from the John Edwards campaign, Melissa McEwan's offered her resignation. The girls, of course, came under fire after Catholic League President and onion dip hater Bill Donohue called them "foul-mouthed bigots" for comments on their personal blogs.

Apparently McEwan worried about all the negative attention being lobbed at her and her family. She wrote on her personal blog, Shakespeare's Sister:

I would like to make very clear that the campaign did not push me out, nor was my resignation the back-end of some arrangement made last week. This was a decision I made, with the campaign's reluctant support, because my remaining the focus of sustained ideological attacks was inevitably making me a liability to the campaign, and making me increasingly uncomfortable with my and my family's level of exposure.

She goes on to insist that this is a "win for no one" and that right-wingers like Donohue and Bill O'Reilly need not claim victory. The pressure came from people who unleashed "ugly" threats against her.

McEwan also says she was a technical advisor on the campaign, not a blogger, as people

Eeks! We almost missed these pictures from our friend over at Petulant Rumblings. In case you can't tell, yes, that's the wee PR in a bread truck. He apparently grew up in the schticks (North Carolina) and had limited entertainment, parental guidance. Although, we must agree with the accompanying note:

Who can't love a child playing in a truckload of bread with a donut in his hands? Good times!!

Yeah, the kid's pretty cute, but doesn't that donut look even more delicious?

If you look to the right, you'll notice cleanliness apparently he's been a filthy bugger since day one. Figures…

(PS: If you kids sent in your pics and we missed them, our most sincere apologies. Our next issue will involve some pictures, as well - so tune in Monday to see what we're looking for…)

Cutie-patootie Jeremy Hooper over at Good as You just sent us this link and we thought we'd pass it along. Apparently he's made an appearance on gay news show, In The Life and caused quite a stir. Though most people write to congratulate him, he got a not-so-love note from a Pennsylvania man reading thus:

I just saw your clip on T.V… You CAN'T just expect everyone to be okay with you, and your life. Your (sic) a fag, and that fine, but keep it to yourself. Trust me, if I ever walk by you on the street with my kids and I see you kissing or holding hands with some dude, I'll brake (sic) every bone in your gay little body. Keep your shit behind closed doors, so children can't see you.

In a bit of an ironic twist, this nearly incoherent message came from a dude calling himself "beefman".

A regular Nancy Drew, Hooper connected the dots and found that the man works for Philadelphia-based, Enterprise Steaks. Now, Hoopers's asking his readers to take matters into their own hands by sending some love notes of their own. So, if you're down to stir some shit, head on over and join the fun. Bring us back a steak. We're famished..

Heeding our call for your Youthful pictures, fellow blogger Jeremy Hooper of Good As You sent us this comparative study. On the left, you see Hooper circa 1985. Looks like a sweet kid. Then, on the right, you see a shot snapped last year. Notice the difference? Well, there's not much of one: still looks pretty sweet to us. Which makes us wonder, of course, what he's hiding? No doubt some deep dark dementia lies behind those pretty little eyes.

While Mike Rogers busies himself attacking Ken Mehlman, a mysterious blogger has his or her claws out for a fight with Perez Hilton.

Given the celeb-obsessed bloggers biting comments an uncanny ability to piss people off, it's no surprise to hear that a Fuck Perez Hilton blog's stepped up to fire back.

We've never had a problem with Perez Hilton (although, a reader did recently ask us why we're always trashing him, an accusation that caught us off guard considering that we rarely utter his name), but we're inclined to say that he had this coming.

You can't make a career of being a meanie without a little backlash. What surprises us, however, is the severity of the remarks. For example, the writer had this to say about "Pig-face's" physical appearance:

I wish I could say that a little "Dr. 90210" would do him good, but there's no hope for this thing. I mean, he's even gotten nasty, pudgy little girly-hands.

Yikes. That's some cold shit. We're scared even posting this, lest we get targeted next.
