I'll believe it when I see it. I can't see any of this being near the top of his agenda, and to act on any of it soon would be the same boondoggle that affected Clinton's early term ... a playbook which Obama seems to be wisely avoiding quite carefully.


So ... yawn for now. Hope for the future. :iSm:

Obama does not get a free pass from me because he's a Democrat. I plan to be watching this guy as much as Bush when it comes to everything but especially GLBT rights. I hope he keeps his word. But who knows? In the end, he's a politician.

Yes, Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Never Forget.

That said, I am still filled with hope.

Well, I disagree with the first bullet.

And if the ultimate goal at the federal level is gay marriage and not "separate but equal" domestic partnerships I'm not sure that getting DPs is a good thing because then it will probably be harder to get that last bit. Except maybe insofar as it pushes the Supreme Court to say it is a difference without meaning and therefore needs to be removed.

Otherwise, here's hoping.

Anybody that wants to give the Obama-Biden administration their input on Energy and the Environment can do so on change.gov right now.

Maybe his use of complete sentences will help reverse the dumbing down of the English language.

Borowitz is a humor columnist, not unlike Dave Barry. He's in one of our area's semi-underground newspapers, so I'm very familiar with his writing and read him regularly. He's actually pretty good.

If you're a Guitar Hero/Rock Band fan, this video is unfathomably astounding.
