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.

I think my comment was unclear. I think his writing is funny, but I also think some people will find a well spoken person an elitist simply because he speaks well. So though I enjoyed the humor of the writing, the little truth within depresses me.

Is that really a Palin quote, or was that made up? If not, OMFrellingG ... even for her.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was a joke.

Tom Daschle as Health Secretary... hey, I remember that guy...

I would think so, too. But with Palin ... well, I can never be sure.

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.

Obama is vacationing in Kailua, HI for Christmas. This is the same city I am in. I think he should come visit me, don't you? He needs to get rid of DOMA. I need to tell him that.
