    Twinkies and Milk

    Until I saw Milk yesterday, the biopic starring Sean Penn as gay activist and San Francisco city supervisor Harvey Milk, I'd forgotten all about the Twinkie Defense.

    Mickey Rourke Campaigns for the Oscar by Calling Sean Penn a Homophobe

    The Daily Beast obtained text messages by our favorite local comeback kid Mickey Rourke trashing Sean Penn's performance in Milk and calling him a homophobe.

    Rourke's Oscar Hopes Take One Step Forward with Globes Win, One Step Back with Steroid Rumors

    Excuse me for covering this Best Actor Oscar race like a political election, but I need some horse race drama in my blogging life, and the 2010 elections are just so far --too far-- away.
