Ricky Martin Comes Out As Heterosexual - PSYCHE
Inlander:
Raban's article is here: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/23723. It's not too long, and it's quite an interesting read.
These three paragraphs will give you the gist:
--- Quote ---The drollery vanished as he climbed aboard his old anti-immigration hobby horse. "The revolution has come. It was led by the cult of multiculturalism, aided by leftist liberals all over, who don't have the same ideas about America as we do." Since George H.W. Bush's administration, RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) had been conspiring with Democrats to boil us like frogs in the "cauldron of the nanny state." "Then something really odd happened," Tancredo said, "mostly because, I think, we do not have a civics literacy test before people can vote in this country. People who could not spell the word 'vote,' or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His name is Barack Hussein Obama."
Though a ripple of cheers and applause spread through the ballroom, I was taking my cue from a middle-aged couple sitting immediately in front of me. When they clapped, I clapped. When they rose to their feet, I did too. Now they exchanged a hard-to-read glance and their hands stayed in their laps.
My guess was that few in the room were offended by the association of the "literacy test" with the Jim Crow laws, though some may have been. But everyone I'd met so far was in a position to know immigrants, legal and otherwise; they employed them in their houses and businesses, to look after their children and work on their yards. The idea that Maria and Luis, or Tatyana and Dmitri, had somehow subverted the political system to bring about Obama's election struck them as insulting and absurd.

I'm sorry!
Though to be fair connecting 'Ricky Martin' and 'teabagging' probably isn't much of a stretch

Okay, so there's pretty only one coffeeshop in this county - Elsewhere. It's run by this Polish woman who laughs bitterly at the idea of global warming and holds Tea Party conventions inside of it. One guy keeps showing up who looks like Ian Anderson and keeps advocating getting together guns and going to war with the Democrats
It
drives
me
fucking
crazy.

Not now that we know, anyway.
Before, I was completely and utterly sure he was straight. I also ate pop-tarts and drank Dr Pepper.
