Fast Five Fix: August 22
Here are the five stories you should be talking about at the water cooler this morning:
- Roise O’Donnell survived a massive heart attack last week, a close call after she ignored the symptoms of a 99% blockage of her left descending artery. Get well soon, Rosie!
- Campus Pride has released its list of the top 25 most LGBT friendly colleges in America — University of Maryland College Park is in the top, as is my Masters alma mater, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign! Now America knows where to send all its little gaybies for schoolin’.
- Calvin Klein’s ex boy toy is penning a tell-all. Shoulda had him sign a non-disclosure, Cal! Or do what I do, and avoid all things interesting so that your tricks don’t have anything to write about.
- The City Council in little Jackson Michigan, birthplace of the Republican party and home to Ted Nugent, is about to vote to take up a non-discrimination ordinance.
- The Advocate’s former marketing director and events planner was found dead earlier this week after an accidental fall, sadly. He was 42.
The birthplace of the Republican Party is Ripon, Wisconsin not Jackson, Michigan.
