If Mama Grizzly Bear Ain't Happy, Ain't Noooobody Happy

Okay, I think I understand where Sarah Palin was coming from on the whole Mama Grizzly thing. But for me, what that phrase really conjures is the image of a weird hybrid of gay "bears" and a drag queen. Like a really big, hairy dude in a tiara and kitten heels. Or a drag queen who goes for "butch lesbian realness"with flannel shirts layered for a 1997 Lillith Fair t-shirt.

And then, of course, there's the whole thing where this could all be a clever ruse on Sarah's part to flush a bunch of mama grizzlies out of the woods. Cause, ya know, she hunts stuff. From a helicopter.

Okay, get this - even better: they're drag queen bears who are in a Gypsy tribute band where each member portrays a different great Mama Rose: Merman, Patty Lupone, Tyne Daly, the Divine Miss M. Mama's getting loud, Mama's gettin' proud!

Okay, we need one bear to be in that awful metal "cone bra" from the SVHS production of Gypsy.

Oh, Miss Mazzeppa. I still giggle when I think of it.
