Ding ding, Round Two! Barak Obama and John McCain face-off once again in the fight for America's Presidency, stabilizing the economy and our hearts.

What was up with that red carpet? It hurt my eyes!

Wasn't it great when Tom Brockaw told McCain to get out of the way so he could finish the show?

Obama came across once again as eloquent, well informed and level headed. Is America ready to have a competent leader? I think so, Yes we can! Nail McCain to the wall Obama!

What does the sound of a failing political campaign sound like? "TERRORISM!" Last weekend Gov. Palin and Sen. McCain both directly declared their political opponent associated with terrorists and even scoff indifferently when their supporters jokingly threatened to kill Senator Obama. Is this what the election has boiled down to?

One way the Republicans can win this election is to simply lock away Sen. Obama in Guantanamo bay, but as Harold and Kumar showed in their movie, it's way easy to escape.

I went with Michael Lehet to see the Scooty and JoJo's Carpenter's Halloween, a reenactment of Halloween John Carpenter's Halloween set to the music of the Carpenters. It's truly an odd mix of horror and camp. If you are a fan of camp, drag, the movie Halloween or the music of the Carpenters then this is a must see for you.

Get your tickets now if you want good seats. Also, the set is in FULL COLOR an you won't believe how good it looks!

Michael and I also saw Watch Out based on Joseph Suglia's book that features the super sexy Matt Riddlehoover as narcissistic Jonathan Burrows, who is only sexually attracted to himself and even makes love to a blow up doll that looks like himself.

Through Jonathan's journey we encounter many strange characters, all of whom are sexually attracted to the very handsome protagonist but in who he has no interest whatsoever. He delivers a condescending diatribe against them about why he would never find them attractive and even kills some of them. This movie is a totally over the top cross between Strangers with Candy and Jeffrey Dahlmer.

Michael convinced me to go the Improv Everywhere's MP3 Chicago which I initially didn't want to go because it sounded a bit hokey- I was to download an mp3 audio file, be at a specific location and do what ever it told me to do at a precise time. Now, I've seen enough X-Files or Twilight Zone episodes to know how terribly wrong things like this can go. For all I know it could have turned me into a government assassin.

But, after a long night partying with Miss Tracy Tyler we all hopped in the car and experienced what turned out to be a very fun day. Sometimes it is fun to do just let yourself go and let someone else call the shots. And I totally kicked ass in the Epic Battle.

Listen as we talk about the bizarre Anglican Reverend Peter Mullen, who suggests tattooing gay men's butts with health warning signs. How about tattooing priests faces with "Religion can seriously damage your mental health."

What's the secret to the Beckhams beautiful skin? Bird Poop! Yes, they are both getting sh*tfaced for beauty. Its an exotic beauty treatment for Japan.

Nailing the Jell-O to the wall every time- Feast of Fools.

Kids, say hello to your new mommy!

Teri Yaki's been working hard to transform herself into Amanda Steinstein, for our very special What Not to Wear/Feast of Fools viewing party at Hydrate in Chicago on Oct 17.

Watch on a jumbo screen as Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion raid Amanda's closest, try on some of her clothes, stalk her around town and then surprise her with a makeover in this reality TV show.

We spent many days this summer being the concerned friends, stalking Amanda Steinstein even breaking into her apartment while she was gone to ruffle through her wardrobe, costumes and tiaras. Yes, tiaras.

The crew told us that our episode is probably the gayest one ever and that Amanda was the most challenging person (read:worst dressed) they have ever had on the show.

This is a must watch episode- plus, prizes, games, gifts and giveaways! I didn't happen to mention the bar is "hosted" did I? Glug glug!

Look out behind you! Do not go in there! Watch out! You always see it coming, but somehow, the victim in many horror films is always ridiculously unaware that they are about to be bludgeoned to death. Why is that?

On today's show we've got movie maven Peaches Christ talking with us about Horror Movies every gay man must see.

Why are queers so enamored by the horror film genre? Is it the themes of being an outsider seeking revenge on the world or is it the joy of seeing the jocks and cheerleaders hacked into pretty little pieces.

But is this a genre an unsuitable outlet for teen angst after the tragic events at schools like Columbie or Viginia Tech?

Listen as we talk with Peaches about films like Rosemary's Baby, Silence of the Lambs, Nightmare on Elmstreet, Fright Night and Evil Dead.

Is Bruce Campbell a gay icon? Do the two Corrys suffer from Mather's syndrome? And what is the queen of all horror films?

Plus a special surprise- Peaches reveals everything about her upcoming slasher film. Who are the celebrity stars cast in this exciting new move? Listen to the show if you vant to know.

Bullies! Those awful people who abuse and manipulate you. What makes a person want to be like that? What gives them power? What happens when they grow up?

Not only are a lot of young queer people on the receiving end of this type of abuse, but many of them are also the ones who dish it out. Sometimes it seems the closet cases are the ones that are the most abusive.

Could you be a bully and not know it? Or are you on the receiving end? You might be, but how would you know? Well, along with Jason McVicker, Director of Mental Health Services for the Center on Halsted, we'll tell you if you are on today's show.

We've got our gay therapist- Jason McVickers from the center on Halsted in Chicago talking about ways you can spot abusive people in your life, and how to start dealing with them head on.

The Chicago Public school system's proposal of a high school for GLBT teens has everybody up in arms! Should we create a sanctuary for out gay youth or work on educating the entire Chicago Public school district?

Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Republican V.P. Candidate Sarah Palin sure doesn't seem like it. A leaked video of the now infamous interview with Katie Couric reveals that the Alaskan governor and former beauty pageant contestant couldn't pass a high school civics course. She knows nothing about the U.S. Supreme court.

Is Britney's sex tape for real or just a desperate attempt for publicity?

We wish Jason luck as he is leaving the Center next week to work with children at Blue Gargoyle, a mental health facility on in Hyde Park.

Your broken beer bottle in the fight for gay rights- Feast of Fools.

Gay people are the backbone of many of the world's great religions, but sadly under difficult times these Churches scapegoat some of their most beloved members.

High ranking Catholic Church officials blamed the scandalous cover up of child molestation on the church's tolerance of gay men.

On today's Feast of Fools we've got two authors who've written extensively about being gay and Catholic and their experience about speaking out against the institutional homophobia.

Joining us today is Scott Pomfret, Boston resident and author of a hilarious new book Since My Last Confession, a memoir of his experience as a lector in the Catholic Church in Boston and his quest to convince his arch-nemesis, Cardinal O'Malley, to invite him to serve at a weekly mass.

Scott was recently let go from the positions he held at the church because the friars had a problem with how the book was being marketed to the public. They don't seem to have a problem with the book itself but they find the marketing of the book incongruous with their beliefs.

Also joining us is Jim Leija, a filmmaker, performance artist and longtime listener living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. His story "Dance or Die" shares his experience witnessing the aftermath of an outcast high school student's suicide and how he become the first recipient of a scholarship set up by the dead boy's parents.

The short story is also included in the book Queer and Catholic, a collection of powerful stories about how being Catholic permanently influences people's identities.

Listen as we talk about why people tolerate their intolerant religions, the consequences of speaking out and where the Catholic Church’s attitudes will be toward gays in the future.
