As my boyfriend said last night, “There really is an ABBA song for any situation.” Mamma Mia! was fantastic, and we had incredible front-row orchestra seats, giving us great views of the shirtless boys in the chorus (though perhaps a little too close a view of one of the leading lady’s cellulite, as she straddled […]
With the invocation of “activist judges forcing their arbitrary will upon the people” still dominating his remarks, President Bush tonight issued a statement in response to the Massachusetts ruling on gay marriage calling the ruling “deeply troubled.” He went on to say: “Marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman.

Today’s ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court holding that only marriage for gays and lesbians, and not “Vermont-style” civil unions, will be sufficient to guarantee constitutional guarantees of equal treatment in the Commonwealth, is the latest in the roller-coaster ride that characterizes news stories around queer issues. From the absolutely horrific upholding in Kansas […]
I came home this evening after a particularly dreadful day at work, got onto the computer to blog some quicklinks, and discovered that several of the items on my serendipity quicklinks blog were gone.

I enjoyed it well enough–in fact, I did find it difficult to put down, especially since, moving through it quickly, I realized the end was attainable by weekend’s end–but I […]
Similar to the MyWorld66 meme, by way of Amanita.net. bold the states you’ve been to, underline the states you’ve lived in and italicize the state you’re in now… Alabama / Alaska / Arizona / Arkansas / California / Colorado / Connecticut / Delaware / Florida / Georgia / Hawaii / Idaho / Illinois / Indiana […]
The “Washington Whispers” column in the January 26 issue of U.S. News and World Report notes, in the “Master of His Web: Colin Powell” entry: Hey, State Department Web gang: Think twice before blowing off those E-mails asking what may look like niggling questions. They’re possibly from Secretary of State Colin Powell. The latest proof […]
Yesterday at lunch I finished reading an amazing Irish novel, At Swim Two Boys, written over a ten-year period by openly gay author Jamie O’Neill, whom many critics are calling the successor to James Joyce and Roddy Doyle.
