The show Sherlock is actually pretty good. The actor playing Sherlock, Benedict Cummerbund, however, seems to be a bit of a thoughtless git, as revealed by an interview with the Daily Beast, in which he claims the USA should elect a women president and then a gay president… not because he could name any outstanding women or gays who would make great presidents … but because Morrissey said so.
Cumberbatch went on to add political advice for the United States saying, “You need to have a female president next, and then after that, a gay president. That’s the full journey from Obama’s legacy onwards.” “There’s a great Morrissey lyric from ‘America Is Not the World’ from You Are the Quarry that goes, ‘In America, the land of the free, they said / And of opportunity, in a just and truthful way / But where the president is never black, female or gay, and until that day / You’ve got nothing to say to me, to help me believe.’ It’s quite an old song from before Obama took office, but you’ve done black, then you need to do female, then the next, gay’,” Cumberbatch insisted.

Note: I have taken back the entry about the sex ed teacher demonstrating strap-ons pending more verification. Liveleak has generally been pretty trustworthy, but doubts have been raised, I will leave it at that.
Cumberbatch is good but Miller is better.
When Presidents are elected on the basis of things that don’t really matter to performing the duties of the office (like race, sex, or choice of partners in the bedroom [so long as that’s not a blackmail=able choice]), the Country gets lousy results.
Why does the public listen to people who’s only claim to fame is pretending to be somebody else.
Huh? I would think that a convicted felon is well ahead of LGBT on the symbolic president list.
(I stipulated convicted felon. Obviously a number of felonious men have already held the job.)
I believe we already have a gay president. During the campaign of 2008 there was a rumor that Barak Obama had a liaison with the choir director of Trinity UCCC. I also believe that he is a closet muslim, which is why he can’t bring himself to put an all out effort to defeat jihadists.
I would like to be done with electing token firsts to the presidency. I thought Obama was unqualified in 2008 and he has proved that opinion right.
I would rather have 50 years of qualified white guys than another unqualified and unprepared token.
As for Obama being a closet Muslim-I think he is a closet atheist perhaps agnostic with an anti Christian bent.
I like Benedict Cumberbatch lots as an actor. He’s awesome as Sherlock and he’s BADASS as Smaug in The Hobbit trilogy (also voices Sauron BTW). He was even in my home town several years ago filming a movie called August: Osage County though it’s not a great film. Though US politics he should try staying away from. We can determine who’ll be the next president and the president after that. Though should note while we’ve yet to elect a woman to the White House, we’ve already got a gay president (at least according to Time Magazine two years ago). Though they also called Bill Clinton the first black president before the first actual black president got elected (well not really black; biracial really).

I think Obama worships Obama.
As for the rumor in 2008 that Obama is gay, I am reminded of a line from the HBO Movie, Barbarians At the Gate, when Henry Kravitz tells his brother, “a rumor is nothing more than an unconfirmed fact.”
Obama had 3 gay ex-lovers killed off before the 2008 election, and their moms even went to the press for help. A gay journalist in Chicago said he took old white penis for money, and was slim because of AIDS. Here it is

The reason given for saying the strap on class didn’t exist is that other news agencies are not covering it. That’s like the 2 Virginia pilot newspaper reporters attacked by 100+ blacks and ignored by their own paper until Drudge made the non reporting a story.
Cumberbatch I could take or leave. But, yes, Miller is better.
But, then there are the two sidekicks – Lucy Liu and Martin Freeman; both are the absolute best. It is good to see them both play the same role, differently, yet, equally enjoyable.
Cumberbatch can open his yap and say anything – it doesn’t matter. He is not that good an actor anyway.
