Cheney is "The Iago of the past eight years"

So, I was going to write a mini-primer with a title something like, "How To Read Dean/Castiel for People Who Aren't Up on SPN Canon and Don't Want to Be, or: I Read a Really Long Ship Manifesto So You Don't Have To". Yeah, but then I got distracted and I haven't written it yet. I still want to, not because I think it's a service that the world really needs so much as because it should be kind of funny. But for now, you can just have this link.

rosaparksofblog, the lj feed of The Rosa Parks of Blogs, a blog whose entire purpose is to collect silly constructions of the form "The X of Y". This was linked yesterday on languagelog and I fell in love. Observe:

• The Keith Richards of the cat world


• The Barry White of the apocalypse


• The Spice Girls of the ancient world


• The Britney Spears of the planets


• The Ozzy Osbourne of the banking world


• The Courtney Love of yards


• The Chuck Berry of nationalism


• The Johnny Cash of Communism


• The Johnny Rotten of Chinatown food courts

Eva Longoria hates girlkissing THIS MUCH

Apparently Teri Hatcher drunk-kissed Eva Longoria and someone else on Desperate Housewives for like, a millisecond that you'd barely notice (on its own, it didn't even make AfterEllen)... unless you were Eva Longoria, who is so loudly homophobic about it that it kind of appears that she doth protest too much. Apparently she's gone on tv twice to complain about it.

I still hate it, it’s really intimate. Even if it is Teri Hatcher, I hate it! It doesn’t matter who, it’s just such a personal invasion, so I find it really difficult.

Yeah, it's really inhumane that actors in a soap opera are asked to pretend to kiss. I'm sure they'd never try to write in any intimacy for her with a guy.

What a revolting bitch.

eta: kessie says that E.L. hates all kissing, not just gay kissing, or at least said she did at one of the interviews.
