It's April 16, which means we can all resume teabagging by putting balls in our mouths instead of protesting taxes or whatever Republican dudes who are not secretly self-hating homosexuals did yesterday.

Political-royalty-turned-blogger Meghan McCain has launched a new campaign to usher gay rights into her hip, young Republican fold—but the gay media is not biting.
