    Lobby Flag

    May 3, 2011 - By 

    Normally our building doesn’t display a flag in the lobby. Only at patriotic holidays and the anniversary of the attacks, until now that is. I suppose May Day will take on a new significance and maybe a new name next year. Via: Flickr Title: Lobby Flag By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 3 May ’11, 6.53am CDT

Calling it "The Obamacare" makes you sound uneducated. # Melissa Bean was a tool of the insurance companies, so in her place we got @RepJoeWalsh and this is better how? We trade a Blue Dog for? # Good morning @nprmonkeysee ! You might enjoy reading @Anniemole and her excellent Going Underground blog. PS are you having TAR flashbacks? # Jet lag can be fun.

    Notoriously Ignored Blog Pfalz Prophets Goes After Bigot Maggie Gallagher

    April 28, 2011 - By 

    My friend Pfalz Prophets has been blogging a bit lately on human rights issues for GLTB persons, and this post does not deserve to be notoriously ignored. Disclaimer: I have sung in church with PP, and attest to his musicianship and scholarly chops. I discovered a new hate group the other day, the National Organization for Marriage, thanks to my signing up with the Southern Poverty Law Center. Maggie Gallagher, the chairman of the group, issued a standard press release, to which I responded with this e-mail:”It has come to my attention that you are conducting a nationwide campaign opposing…

    The Dearth of Blogging

    April 23, 2011 - By 

    Who has time to blog? Not me, apparently. I think about potential blog posts all the time, but never at a time when I am both connected to the Internet and able to use it (two very different things, especially given my office’s policies). On the weekends, for months now, I’ve been shirking. Well, ya basta. I’m constantly reading news and blog posts about politics, and shaking my head with dismay at the sheer… blind arrogance exhibited by many Big Name Pundits on both sides. Truth be told, the folks on the conservative side, with a few shining exceptions, all…
