C’mon, I had to! Look at him! I’ve had this week’s exact cover in mind since March. Luckily, Kris is a good sport. We’ll just have to wait and see if a copy of this issue makes its way to the Obama camp. Here’s hoping we elect a president with a sense of humor (and a killer smile) !

And if you don’t vote this year, don’t ever, EVER talk to me again. You don’t deserve my carbon dioxide.

Night of 100 Drag Queens… and $18,000! Yes, that’s how much money Sidetrack raised for Equality IL with the 16th annual Night of 100 Drag Queens – Around the World In 100 Drag Queens. Teri Yaki claims to have toned it down for this high-tone show, but you know every word out of that skanky hole was ‘fuck’ and ‘bitch’ and ‘shit.’ Hey, it helped bring in $18,000 bucks, so methinks it wasn’t a problem.

Un applauso to all the folks who worked very hard donating their time and efforts for this great cause!

As if ABC’s The View didn’t provide enough comedy on its own steam, now we have The Spew, playing every Sunday through November 16 at Comedy Sportz, 929 W. Belmont Ave. (in the old Ann Sather’s building).

The girls (and yes, they are all women-born-women playing the roles) stay timely and still manage to snatch a wig or two in the process. You’ll spew your reasonably priced beer, I guarantee.

Check out the antics of Babette, Whoopsi, Gay and What’s-Her-Name at The Spew. To bring The Spew to you, contact Liz Cloud at 847-421-5173 or liz@grosshandler.com
