One of the hurdles that beauty pageant contestants must hurdle effortlessly is proving they have the ability to answer polarizing questions in a way that offends no one.

The nominations for the 2009 Weblog Awards are open
(Yes, I WOULD like to be nominated. The question is, “Which category or categories?” And — so handy — the graphic above is linked to the nomination page.)
Why does Michelle Obama only wear cheerful colors when she's attending memorial services for U.S. soldiers?
Michelle Obama, ever fashion forward in her signature ammo belt and wearing the cheerful colors that always characterize her wardrobe when she is celebrating the deaths of, um, attending the memorial services of U.S. soldiers who have died in the service of their country, watches her husband performing the traditional ceremony of laying a wreath …
The Hammond Song by The Roches

What do straight people have to DO to get thrown out of the military?
Let me see if I have this right. To get thrown out of the military, all a gay or lesbian has to do is say, “I’m gay,” any time, anywhere, and out they go. Why, it’s as easy as a traditional Muslim divorce! Or, an envious rival just has to say someone else is gay …
