Sputnik photo 2009
In Bangkok, the gay hangout Q Bar is closed Tuesday for Vesak, a national holiday in Thailand and much of the Eastern world. More than Buddha’s Birthday, as it is sometimes known, Vesak commemorates not only the birth, but also the enlightenment and passing of Gautama Buddha. Other names for the commemorative day include Vesākha, Wesak, Visakah Puja, Vaishaka, Buddha Purnima, Visakha Bucha, Saga Dawa, 佛誕 (fó dàn), Phật Đản วิสาขบูชา and Araw Ni Buddha.

Tickle your Fancy at the World Beard and Mustache Championships
via Accidental Bear, who writes: “Just imagine the upkeep and maintenance on these beards. I want to give them a two-snaps-in-circle, via In Living Color days for the commitment. How many pretzels or peanut M&M’s have they lost in these beards, only for them to drop out at the most awkward of times. The back stage area must be busier that a toddler beauty pageant. I am all about a fuzzy man with a beard, but my next question I want to ask one of these ‘mountain man’ is, “During sex, do you tie it back or like a drag queen tucking the naughty bits, do you tuck it somewhere?” For more on the World Beard and Mustache Championships, click here.

Peep Veep? Obama’s Bizarre Choice of Running Mate for 2012.
It is not like there is no precedent. President Reagan? Governor Schwarzenegger? Why not the Easter Bunny for Vice President? This country could use a little pop culture irony in the war room. No?
