It was with some trepidation that we opened a most interesting card, which announced on a blue-jeaned cowboy's belt buckle something called the "5th Annual VOLPAC '06 Weekend" in Nashville on April 21-23.

Problem was you had to unbuckle the cowboy's pants and look inside to see what this was all about. Seemed a bit too "Brokeback Mountain."

Imagine our relief to find only that we were "cordially invited" to the event honoring Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) and "Mrs. Bill Frist, M.D." This is Frist's political action committee to raise money for other senators, making friends and positioning him nicely for his 2008 presidential bid.

1. ROTFLMAO!!!

"So we checked the GayCityUSA.com's Hanky Codes. Sure enough, there it was in the chart explaining what they mean: red hanky in right pocket. Oh, dear"

2. How very GOP-KINKY!!!!! Fristy, a closeted little dickens!!!!

The back of the card shows the cowboy from behind with a red flowered handkerchief sticking out of his right pocket. Wait a minute -- wasn't there something about how this used to be some kind of code in the gay community years ago? A way to signal each other in crowded, noisy bars?

Did Ken Mehlman or Scottie McTwoChins design that card, I wonder?

10. I live directly across the Bay from SF. Guess what is in my trash...

as of right now.

Ironically, I wear my skinny wallet in my LEFT pocket, so....

Someone spent a lot of time on that one, didn't they?

8. should've been a pop-up card

but in Frist's case it would've been a very small pop-up

9. Is Mrs. Frist a doctor too?

I don't know one way or the other, but if she is she deserves to be called Dr. (first name) Frist, and if she's not it seems a bit chauvanistic to (a) call her "Mrs. Bill Frist" and (b) put his degree initials in her name.
