Update: Nevada passes DP law

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Just heard that both houses of the Nevada legislature have voted to override Governor Gibbons’ veto. Seriously, congrats to all my friends in Nevada, and especially to Senator David Parks, who I had the privilege of working with in Equal Rights Nevada back in 2000-2003. I know this has been a long, difficult fight since [...]

Things I Thought You Should Know

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

News Bullets Round-up One of the nation’s most famous abortion doctors, George Tiller, was shot dead this morning at his church in Wichita, Kansas. The 63-year-old doctor has been the target of two decades of persecution and Christian terrorism from the anti-choice crowd. Disgusting. Congratulations to my friends in Nevada. The Nevada Senate voted to [...]

Workout Playlist

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

I could post a review of the movie we went to see for my birthday or a diatribe about something in the news that’s upsetting me, but I thought I’d go for the complete waste of internet bandwidth and share my current gym playlist. Harder Better Faster Daft Punk Major Tom Shiny Toy Guns Good [...]

It’s My Day

Friday, May 29th, 2009

The blogger as an infant. Note the always classic “Jere with no hair” look I was pioneering even as a baby. My diapers tend to fit better these days, though. It’s that time of year. The third anniversary of my twenty-ninth birthday. You may leave your offerings in celebration of my ability to be birthed [...]

The Mormon-Grinch Video

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Since everyone and their 3rd sister-wife is sending me this today… More Gay & Lesbian Videos At LogoOnline.com You know, I actually find the outdated stereotypes about Mormon polygamy so distracting, I can’t really enjoy the video. Polygamy simply isn’t a part of most Mormons’ lives, and hasn’t been for a century. If the point [...]

Marry, F*ck or Kill

Take 2. Apparently last week’s game was too easy and everyone more or less just agreed with my picks. Let’s try it again with a harder choice to make. This week our theme is hateful beauty queens, in honor of California’s Supreme Court upholding Prop 8. Choice 1 Choice 2 Choice 3 Carrie Prejean“Marriage is [...]

Wild and Wet Memorial Day

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Since my gym was closed, I decided to get my day’s exercise by visiting the Cincinnati Zoo. It’s about a 3 mile walk each direction, plus I spent the whole day on my feet. Despite a bit of rain and some very humid air (which made the rain forest section seem especially realistic), it was [...]

A Crack in the Floodgates?

Monday, May 25th, 2009

I have a theory (it could be bunnies) about the current foot-dragging of the federal government around LGBT rights. Why has Obama forsaken us on the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell? Why is the Senate considering stalling the Matthew Shepard Act by tying it once again into a defense spending bill? Why hasn’t the [...]

Branding Fail

I’m not sure if I’m comfortable shopping at this store, which is just down the street: Altar Frosty Boy: Often Licked – Never Beaten

Fuck off Liberty University

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

Despite my repeated attempts to get removed from their spam database, I still get shit like this EVERY MONTH from Liberty University: Today, I read that Liberty University has banned the student Democratic club from campus, stating in an email: Even though this club may not support the more radical planks of the democratic party, [...]
