One of the topics at the gay law symposium yesterday (not to mention some of the signs at the various railles around the country) was why gays should have to settle for a "separate but equal" regime of civil unions.
To give an idea of how that debate has evolved, try to guess when this commentary [...]

Still working on a costume for Diamond, but at least her trick-or-treat bag is ready:
I've never been able to conclusively determine whether her obsession with laundry derives from the warmth of the clothes or the drier-sheet scent. Thoughts?

How best to address rising gas prices, global warming and dependence on foreign oil?
Don't ask John McCain. Dont' ask Barack Obama. Don't ask Biden or Palin. Don't even ask Joe the Plumber.
Ask a CuteTuber™:
