We’re so rooting for Zach Anner, a comedian from Austin, Texas who does a regular travel video blog on YouTube and describes his physical condition as the “sexiest form of cerebral palsy.”

Zach wins over just about everyone with his incredible charm as he pokes gentle fun at them from his motorized wheelchair.

Although he was for a while the favorite in Oprah’s “Your OWN Show” contest, he was suddenly overtaken by other contestants including, Dr. Phyllis, who got more than 300,000 votes in less than 20 minutes and 600,000 within an hour, prompting many to question whether the network, or even Winfrey herself, had played a part in goosing the contest’s numbers.

Never mind that such internet celebrity making online news communities like 4chan, Reddit and Digg have all rooted for their millions of users to vote for him. Why won’t Oprah let Zach win?

It doesn’t matter if Zach has “The Secret” or not, since he’s obviously won the hearts and minds of millions of people online and will probably get a career out of all this regardless if he wins or loses.

America’s Lesbian Sweetheart, Cameron Esposito is back from Africa and the U.K!

Cameron cool comedy stylings endear her to audiences everywhere- here and abroad and to broads as well.

Cameron was lauded by one reviewer in London as a “zesty delight.” I bet he thought she would taste real good!

She’s in the home studio, talking about her adventures in Africa, from petting a dangerous pussycat and eating a roasted warthog.

Plus she’s taking questions from you via Feast of Fun Facebook page. You can be a fan of Cameron on Facebook too, its a great way to directly keep in contact with her.

Homeowners in Florida are literally going green by spray painting their water staved lawns with water resistant, eco-friendly green paint instead of watering them.

Meanwhile the U.S. Border Patrol agency plans to poison plant life along a mile stretch of the border to get rid of some of the hiding places used by illegal immigrants. Agencies are ignoring the dangers of the poison to people, the water supply and its long-term consequences.

Chinese use birth control pills to help reduce the gerbil population. Will religious fundamentalists protest that too? What will Richard Gere do?

Willie, the Quaker parrot saves a baby’s life.

A couple was thrown out of a comedy club for laughing too much.

History was made as Barack Hussein Obama became the 44th President of the United States, sworn to defend the U.S. Constitution which, at one time, defined blacks as three-fifths of a person.

As our country’s 44th president, does Obama have the Formula 44 to relieve the symptoms that plague this nation?

The very funny Cameron Espositio joins us to reflect on this joyful, momentous occasion as we compare Evangelist Rick Warren’s predictable prayer with Gay Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson’s inclusive invocation.

Celebrities from Bono to Oprah showed up in full force, and divas like Beyonce and Aretha delivered the goods.

Oh that hat! Aretha Franklin, sporting a gray hat with an over the top bedazzled bow sang “My Country ‘Tis of Thee.”

Besides her striking fashion, what everyone’s chatting about on the internet is how Aretha let out a quick “shut up” in the middle of her song, possibly at somebody in the crowd who wouldn’t presumably stop talking. If you listen to this several times, you could swear she’s getting possessed by Dick Cheney. Fight the evil Aretha!

Plus Jim Bennet joins us on the phone from Washington D.C. to share with us what it was like to be there for this moment in history.

We received our Best GLBT podcast award in the mail today. So all the awards from 2006, 2007 and yes 2008 make a happy little family and they look so good together.

Check out the the video to the right for some of Cameron’s Stand up at the Sarcastic Squad. You can totally hear Marc and I laughing in the background.

Listen as we chat about German male convicts getting their prison budget extended for free makeup. Yes, it’s a matter of equal rights, if woman can have an allowance for makeup then so can men.

Condoleeza Rice played the piano for the queen of England, but the queen didn’t hear the whole performance so we have to wonder if she was any good. She’s a trained concert pianist but she’s also the Secretary of State and she’s not very good at that.

Was she as good as Sarah the Saxophone Playing Walrus? Well, the walrus doesn’t actually play the sax but she looks like she’s having fun doing it.

Micro transactions might be a sign of terrible tings to come. If you notice small charges between $.19-.39 on credit card account, scam artists may be testing it to see if the card is good before they go for the big charge once your card proves valid.
