Yes, Peter Pace is his real name, and no, he’s not a porn star. General Peter Pace is President Bush Jr’s top advisor to the American invasion of Iraq. You know how popular that is, […]
Fausto Fernós is the host of iTunes’ #1 LGBT talk show, the Feast of Fun podcast, which he produces and hosts with his partner, Marc Felion.
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Fausto Fernós created the Feast of Fools in 1998 as wacky artists variety show in Chicago, Illinois. Feast of Fun grew out of an audio blog to promote the live show into the world’s most downloaded talk show aimed for gay people.
When he’s not blogging, recording or sleeping, Fausto can be found at the gym or appreciating the beauty found in nature.

Great show Marc and Fausto. I really like to identify as queer… I think its a really fun word, something about q words. anyways peter pace sux and so do harris bank and UoC for supporting this murderer… who is scarier… peter pace or brian sloan….
I just signed the petition. There are only a little over 1,300 signatures. Come on. It’s simple. Just a few clicks.
Queer! That’s perfect. It’s all inclusive… like ‘Gringos’ for English-speaking people trying to learn Spanish. I like it better than gay- which really refers to the men. Pace, W., et al, are just pushing the US into being an ex-empire a little faster. And in a dark way, that might be a good thing – so start learning Mandarin or Hindi, people! Tighten up your belts, folks – the US empire is imploding and its people and leaders are supporting its demise! AND the best thing about cicadas is they put you to sleep with their buzzing, IF you have no A/C…
And yes! Sign the petition and participate in the protest if you’re in Chicago!
err… you do know that internet petitions never ever work? >_>;
i haven’t listened to the show yet but it sounds good.
and bees aren’t messing with us. we are messing with bees, and killing them off by using cellphones and other electronic devices that transmits..stuff…like cellphones do. and no bees=no pollination which = no plants which = no lots of other things. i mean bees aren’t the only providers but it would be bad if we killed too many of them off. by using cellphones.

Online petitions work best when they are directed at a specific target that can do something about a specific situation, IF they depend on public opinion for their own welfare. In this case it might have an impact, since its two public institutions invovled here (the University of Chicago and the U.S. Military) and the target is specific (the petition asks the school to withdraw their invitation of Gen. Peter).
From Snopes:
Since transgender is not about sexual orientation, yet gay, lesbian, bi, and possibly queer (GLBTQ), the encompassing word should not be about sexual orientation, but about us being different from the heteros or those who never had a gender dysphoria or problem in gender identification. I propose “Difr” in keeping with Fausto’s line of Flickr, Frappr, Crappr, etc.
I love “DIFR” I’m going to Ikea right now to get one!
Hmmmm. Now how do you spell it?
Diffr? DIFFUR? DARFOUR?
I signed. What can it hurt? Number 1,369, baby!
As someone who appreciates the same-sex partner benefits provided by the U of C, AND participates in the school’s LGBTQ mentoring program, AND enjoys the company of some very delightful G and L coworkers, I am really dismayed to hear about this…
grumble.
DIFR pride!
(Did you notice, that’s the first four letters of DiFranco… coincidence?)
I remember hearing this southern Black minister on the radio, who referred to a lesbian acquaintance as “same-gender-loving.” Very genteel sounding. Kind of takes all the fun out of it.
I second the diffr
The cicadas came in 2004. I think we are safe. 🙂
Excellent show guys!
I’ve been hearing on the news that the cicadas are coming.
I like diffr but can anyone else come up with something?
In a fit of political activism i think i got at least 15 people to sign up. After the first time it was like my own special little OCD compulsion. AFter # 1371-1387…this requires a Frank Caliendo: “YAY ME!”
Glad to hear more about anti-war activism and also more about anti-DADT. News about Anna Nicole Smith just doesn’t drive me to the plaza in the same way that news about Peter Pace can! And by the way… Is Peter a little too hott for his own damn good?
Mega-dittoes to Patricia’s comments on ex-empire.
I signed the petition, too, even tho’ I’m in the penumbra of the prestigious U of Chicago.

Ex- Empire is not a bad idea at all and not something to fear. It doesn’t have to be doom and gloom.
As any bottom will tell you, being on top is not always the best position. If we can just cooperate
and respect each other, we’ll be fine. We don’t need to be an empire to happy and have a good life.
Hold on – does anybody have a good sense of what benefits we get from imperialism? How much of our current standard of living do we owe to our size and power on the world stage? How much are you willing to give up to be ex-empire?
Right now, I’m thinking of two things in particular. First, do you think other countries would be as willing to invest in the US, were it not for our strength? Second, would we see the influx of skilled immigrants in fields like engineering and medicine if we were second-rate?
ok I found no cicadas recipies but there is a book by David George Gordon called ‘the eat a bug cookbook’ and that cicadas are from the order Homoptera. Just a foolish thought on my part but mabe the Bees are dying off from I B S caused by all the franken crops that have been growing here in the last few years?
hmm. this podcast informed me very little (since I’m a reader of things not celeb based), but it also annoyed me. and not in a good way, it was a fun podcast but I have some questions for the gentlemen you interviewed. then again I may just be a bitch…lol.
