For the second time in two months, my hard drive has crashed, leaving me to restart my desktop from before.  I backup regularly, so this never really affects me. Except in one area:  Online IDs and Passwords. Launching an Internet browser again after a hard reset is an endless torture for the online person. [...]

  If there’s one thing I hate doing, it’s hunting for a news organization to say one thing (JUST ONE!) about this upcoming 2012 election. I mean, come on, the election is in 8 1/2 months, don’t you think you guys started talking about “who’s it gonna be?”  Just kidding.  I know you know that [...]

“Sheriff, when two events happen simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention.” — Agent Cooper, TWIN PEAKS Sometimes news just intersects.  The two events: 1) The New Jersey marriage bill, which was just approved by the Senate and Assembly, is now on the desk of Governor Chris Christie. [...]

Marylanders are next to bat for their marriage equality bill.  Governor O’Malley will sign the bill should it pass, and he’s actively lobbying members of his legislature to pass the bill immediately.  Amendments were bandied about this morning.  It looks like the only amendment that passed was one that complies with Maryland law (lore?), which [...]

*You know who’s not gonna like a President Santorum? WOMEN. Well, as I said yesterday, women aren’t going to fare very well under a Santorum presidency.  That theory was pushed forward today, ever so slightly, when Santorum Super PAC donor Foster Freiss, who coincidentally made his money off of assets and investments and not delicious [...]

Rick Santorum is totally splooging in the polls, after having won caucuses in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado and gaining in others.  Constant frontrunner (for now) Mitt Romney is having a hard time deconstructing an opponent in Santorum because, unlike the affairs-plus-corruption-scandal of Gingrich, there isn’t a bad thing to say about the son of a [...]

  That’s right!  They’re a bunch of actors, and they’re walking towards ya.  But I’m not talking about the NBC show Smash, which is a huge hit, according to its title.  I believe that show went through workshops previously known as Water Cooler, Pilot Pick-Up and More Huston, Less Everyone Else. No, no, the theater-y gays [...]

  In May 2008, the California State Supreme Court ruled that gays in California must be able to legally marry, or it would violate the state’s laws.  18,000 couples were married before the very public Prop 8 vote took that right from us.  It was ruled that those 18,000 couples would be allowed to keep [...]

  Washington will get its gays married, by Joe!  And Starbucks, one of the longest supporters of gay rights, publicly announced last month that they supported this bill (along with other Washington-based corp giants like Microsoft, Nike and Google).  As well they should!  The company knows to keep its one trillion sassy gay baristas happy, [...]

*New Hampshire gays get the right to mind their own business until next January. New Hampshire has had gay marriage for over two years now, and for the foreseeable future, it isn’t going anywhere.  The efforts by some to repeal the toddler-aged marriage law, and make the states that have gay marriage 5 going on [...]

My brother is getting married next month in Lexington, Kentucky, which is just over the riverbed from Cincinnati, Ohio, where he lives with his future wife.  My boyfriend and I visited them for Christmas this year, and their lawn looks a lot like these guys’ lawn:   When you watched that video, what did you [...]

  *One Million Moms makes a national fool of themselves for the second time this year, and it’s not even Valentine’s Day. One Million Moms stepped up their campaign this year to be America’s Jar Jar Binks, obnoxious, harmless, bumbling and tartly offensive. The one similarity they don’t share with the Binks is they aren’t [...]

  My grandfather passed away Saturday, January 28th.  The news was sudden, but his death wasn’t.  He was 85, and for the past few years, he had collected illnesses and maladies that led him to this point.  His condition had deteriorated steadily for at least three years.  It’s been a long time since I remember [...]
