Debbie Woodell: This is the final gay and lesbian issues column in the Daily News; apparently, Woodell didn’t speak for the entire GLBT community. Ohh!
Elmer Smith: Oh, more gun laws that won’t pass in Harrisburg.
Michael Smerconish: Oh, Michael Smerconish is also highly offended by this Christian’s preaching as well.

Ronnie Polaneczky: Oh, the guy who got stabbed for supporting Obama “loves Obama because of the hope he inspires.” Really? You can write “hope” and “Obama” in a serious matter?
Debbie Woodell: Hey, gay men still can’t give blood, how about that.

Ronnie Polaneczky: Ahh, yes, there is no column as good as one that relies on anecdotal evidence!
Debbie Woodell: What the hell. It took the Daily News this long to run a column by the lesbian columnist mentioning Alycia Lane? Forget it, too late; I’m not reading this column even if it makes fun of Mike Huckabee.
Michael Smerconish: Smerconish finally weighs in on Hillary’s crying, another hot-button column topic from the past. “And I’m in good company among Republicans. Karl Rove and Rudy Giuliani both told me they accepted Hillary’s show of emotion at face value.” Oh, because Republicans have such a good track record of predicting things.

Okay, I’m going to say nice things about all the Daily News columns today. Really!
Jill Porter: No Hershey’s cracklicious mints this time. Ahh, it’s sort of a defense about the attention paid to the Bonnie half of the Bonnie & Clyde. It’s pretty good.
Chris Brennan: This is another column about the West Philly El construction that is taking forever and destroying businesses. (Nobody has a place to park. Couldn’t they take the Subway? Whatever.) It’s about how the money the government put aside to help those local businesses hasn’t been spent, even at local bars. Can somebody pay me to drink? That would be great. Anyway, this column is pretty good, too.
John Baer: John Baer’s usually a pretty decent columnist, and today’s column is about Pennsylvania’s chief justice, who is… I have no idea. Neither do you. (Maybe ChrissMari does.) So: Good! The stuff about the soon to be chief justice, Ron Castille (Hey! I at least know this name!), is kinda pointless but the stuff about the 2010 governor’s race is interesting. Pretty good.
Stu Bykofsky: Bykofsky admits a mistake in the fourth sentence, which makes the column already good. (Lots of columnists won’t apologize.) And he says he likes humans, so another win. Pretty good.
Debbie Woodell: Woodell, the paper’s columnist on gay issues, says “don’t ask, don’t tell” should be eliminated in the military. Shouldn’t the army take all the soldiers they can get, etc. Also, this column is short. Yay! Again, pretty good.
Deborah Leavy: Essentially a plug for DonorChoose.org, which allows teachers to request books to help, uh, teach children. Good cause, etc. Pretty good.
Man, that was a lot of columns to say nice things about. Honestly, I’m just happy I’m done; I had to enjoy what I was reading for too long there.

Ronnie Polaneczky: Some workers don’t get sick days, and allegedly the union isn’t helping ‘em, either.
Fatimah Ali: Oprah’s vajayjay! Oh, no, I mean her school in South Africa.
Dave Davies: Reasons to vote: “Earn your right to complain when politicians disappoint you. You don’t want somebody saying, just when you get into a good rant, ‘Well, if you didn’t vote, then . . . ‘” Hey, great minds think alike. I do think it’s an argument that’s unlikely to come up, though. I mean, you could always just lie and say you voted. Who would look it up?
Missed this column from yesterday
Debbie Woodell: Is there a gay gene? Will that stop anyone from gay bashing?
Missed this column when I first posted (an Abridged Daily News Columnists tradition)
Elmer Smith: Why can’t people turn people in for murder without rewards? Makes sense to me.

Stu Bykoyfsky: Apparently, Stu has been calling witnesses in criminal cases “snitches” until now.
Ronnie Polaneczky: Hey, how about a skate park in Philadelphia? We can call it LOVE Park.
Michael Smerconish: I voted for Bush twice, and now I think Charlie Manuel should get an extension!
Debbie Woodell: That 700-year-old guy who has no shot at winning the presidency is the guy gays are going to vote for.

Debbie Woodell: “If Barney Frank left Congress tomorrow, gay men and lesbians would have exactly one person representing them on Capitol Hill.” This is kind of a long way to say that there are two gay congressmen.
John Baer: The GOP is attempting to get money from Chelsea Clinton’s future mother-in-law.
Chris Brennan: Dance metaphors!
Stu Bykofsky: Hey, I found somebody more irrelevant than me to bash! Also, here are some Michelle Malkin talking points.

John Baer: The budget won’t be passed in time. OH NO!
Debbie Woodell: Gay retirement communities!

Elmer Smith: Dammit! A Virginia Tech column!
Ronnie Polaneczky: Fuck! Here’s another one!
Rich Hofmann: You, too, Rich Hofmann! Agh!
Debbie Woodell: Phew. Finally, something about an issue I’d like to read about, such as… the gay power list? Eh, it’ll do.
John Baer: Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid is spending $15 million of government money to eradicate the Mormon cricket. I hate America.
