This question comes at an opportune time in my life, as my life’s completely up in the air at this point, and I can honestly write where I want to be. In 10 years I will be 37.

Thanks, Ellen Last night Ellen DeGeneres won another Emmy for her upbeat talk show "Ellen," and there next to her when the win was announced was her partner Portia deRossi. You can see their reaction in this photo. I am so glad we have Ellen representing us lesbians in the world today. She's sweet, funny, kind, cute and she (finally) has great taste in women.

House Falls Down on the Job - Via EFF.org Updates: The House of Representatives today has fallen down on the job. By passing the FISA Amendments Act (293-129, with 105 Democrats in favor), they voted to give this lame duck President an undeserved parting gift by passing immunity for telcoms that helped the President violate the Constitution by participating in the NSA's massive and illegal spying program. While Speaker Pelosi and President Bush describe it as a "balanced bill" with "bipartis“Nothing’s Changed”
by paradox When the FISA scandal first broke in 2005 I had an embarrassing evolution of crestfallen naiveté, for some basic searching of Bush video archives soon turned up a 2004 clip of Bush babbling a series of FISA rationalizations, followed by a total 100% screaming lie by Bush that in regards to American government surveillance on its citizens since 9/11, why, “nothing’s changed.” For an earnest Democrat beaten silly with the clip I did not have sex with that woman my heart soared withGadget:

For as long as I’ve been following baseball, I’ve always appreciated pitchers who come in and blow hitters away. Going to see Dwight Gooden pitch as a 19-year old with the Mets in 1984 was something I’ll always remember—not because he was so dominant, but because it was awesome just watching him blow the ball past hitters. And there have been a lot of closers in history that have done the same—Randy Myers, Rob Dibble, Lee Smith, John Wetteland to name a few, in addition to the ones below.
