Straight-leg pride? Wearing certain clothes does not make you a specific sex! We discussed this just yesterday in the ā€œFacebook friends iconā€ topic. Obviously, Putin’s people haven’t read it. They really should try to keep up.

As a straight man, I was concerned when my temperature was a little high this morning. The thermometer said 99.8. Fortunately, Dr. Putin’s Almanack reassured me that as long as it stayed under 101, I didn’t have the Gay Fever.
