First, I was watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann last night, and his Special Comment was directed toward those who voted for Prop 8 in California. Yes, Olbermann can come off crazy, pompous, and overworked sometimes (Colbert once described him as: "rants like a guy who saves his own urine,") but I still love him. And his comment here sums up the awfulness that is (well, was) Proposition 8.
Here's something else fun! An article entitled, "Barack Obama: The 50 Facts You Might Not Know." Did you know Obama is a Muslim and a Socialist??? ....Haha kidding, no, these are actual facts, not something my dad would forward around. A few things on the list that make me like the guy even more:
- He collects Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics.
- His favorite meal is wife Michelle's shrimp linguini. (Delicious!)
- He has read every Harry Potter book.
- He drives a Ford Escape Hybrid, having ditched his gas-guzzling Chrysler 300.
- He hates the youth trend for trousers which sag beneath the backside.
- He uses an Apple Mac laptop.
You can tell this was written in the UK. Can't you imagine Buzz Killington saying, "I hate the youths and their trend for wearing their trousers sagging beneath their backside." Man, everything the British do are awesome.

A very powerful video indeed. If nothing else, the losses the gay community have suffered this week has really lit a fire under our asses. It woke up a lot of people from their complacency and made them realize we as a minority have to fight for our unalienable rights, it's not just going to be handed to us.
Yeah Obama using a Mac. He really is the voice of the next generation!
Well, I only have one gay friend out here, Geoff, so I only hear so much about the gay community. But it's good to hear a fire has been lit!
I saw a bunch of people protesting outside the churches (that put out $20 million in a campaign of hate) on Sunday. I hope they do that every Sunday until this is overturned, haha.
