If you are not already out at the Out Youth Prom and are in for the night all snug as a humid li'l bug in a rug, might we recommend a touch of C-Span?
You'd be surprised at how many times that would be my first recommendation for any given night. Can't get enough C-Span! But tonight, especially, the 30 year old public-service live-broadcast politico cable network is worth a watch as Wanda Sykes performs at tonight's White House Correspondence Dinner.
Let's rephrase that: As the first out lesbian performer performs at tonight's White House Correspondence Dinner.
