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 [...]

It came to my attention that I never uploaded my various pictures of Diamond to my Flickr page. That oversight has now been corrected with 173 new pictures for your viewing pleasure.

I've never selected a CuteTuber™ for the sole purpose of mocking the person making the video, and that's not necessarily my intention here.

From the Archives: Halloween is a Christian Holiday

October 31st, 2008 · No Comments

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.
