Another reason to be proud (NOT) of my home state.
A new science curriculum proposed for high school teachers in Georgia was edited to avoid any mention of the word “evolution,” which state school superintendent Kathy Cox described on Thursday as “a buzzword that causes a lot negative reactions.”
The plan also omitted […]
Sam of madlife.net asks:
When did you first know you were gay? And if you’re not gay, when did you first know you were heterosexual?
An easier question would be when did I not know. I have to think back a lot of years. At 34, years old it seems that my coming-out story is a bit […]

It doesn’t surprise me that my home state would do this:
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1.
Article I of the Constitution is amended by adding a new Section IV to read as follows:
“SECTION IV.
MARRIAGE
“Paragraph I. Recognition of marriage. (a) This state shall recognize as marriage only the union […]
George W. Bush, and supporters (including Joe Leiberman) are fond of saying that he world is a safer place now that Saddam Hussein is in custody. But safer for whom? Not for U.S. troops in Iraq, whose deaths have increased since Saddam’s capture.
US combat deaths in Iraq have risen sharply during January despite a […]

I’m just about to head out of the office, to an appointment with my locitician. It’s time for some serious hair maintenance, with all the new growth that’s come in since my last visit. I’m looking forward to the long ride, because I’ll be listening to music on the Nomad Zen on […]
It’s so easy, in the busy world we live in, to forget that behind just about everything we use in our lives - from our computers, to our televisions, to our doorknobs, right down to the streets and sidewalks we walk on - stands at least one living breathing person, whose life, work and existance […]

I nearly spewed coffee all over my monitor this morning when I read that Dean has dismissed his campaign manager, Joe Trippi. Not just that, but apparently his campaign is dealing with a money crunch as well, as he’s asked his campaign workers to make some sacrifices too.
Democrat Howard Dean shook […]
I’ve never written about it on this blog, but I don’t make it any secret that I’m a recovering alcoholic. Nearly 12 years ago, back in the summer of 1992, I stumbled into my first AA meeting, which was being held in the Episcopal church that also ran the boarding house where I was living […]
It looks like Lane at Eat Your Vegetables has pretty much the same reaction I’m having to Kerry’s New Hampshire win and Dean’s second place showing.
If someone doesn’t break through big next week we have our nominee. Not my first choice, not my second choice, not my third choice, probably my fourth choice, but as […]

Not to tweak the noses of any Mac users, but I couldnt’ help getting a little bit of a chuckle out of this.
I got a shiny new Apple G5 for Christmas. I loved the case, but I’m no Mac user. So I….
Get a brand new dual processor G5, then
Rip out everything,

This is intersting, and maybe a smart move on the part of the DNC in the face of what may well be a close presidential election.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced on Monday a program to recruit GLBT voters during Gay Pride events across the country this year.
The effort, called “Pride at the […]
Though it looks like Wesley Clark is likely to finish a distant third in New Hampshire, I still found this interview interesting. It concerns Clark’s use of cluster bombs and targeting of civilians in Yugoslavia.
What with the snow, the delays on the metro, and arriving 30 minutes late for what turned out to be a pretty busy day at work, there wasn’t much time for blogging today. I am, however, working on something related to some reading I’ve been doing today. It’s pretty long, but I want to do […]
