Marcy Playground’s Flag and Finger.
An anthem for American Independence if there ever was one (who cares if it’s pandering and slightly trite? That is what this holiday is all about!).

As Military Ban Persists, So Does Strain On Gays

[H]e and his partner go to great lengths to stay hidden, even, in his words, “de-gaying the house.”

“We de-gayed it so when his military friends came into the house to pick him up, they wouldn’t see any trace of me,” said Cartwright. “We took my college diploma off the wall — everything.”


Shit like this incenses me. He has to hide his existence in his own home? If that’s not heartbreaking and horrifying, I don’t know the meaning of these words.

“ Today is a good day to just start over. Be wary of saving too much money, because disaster could strike at any time, and I’m pretty sure heaven is just you sitting there wishing you’d bought an XBOX because it turns out you can take it with you, but there’s nothing to buy in the great beyond. Be on the lookout for a new love! Everyone has kisses. Who is going to slip one into your pocket when you aren’t looking? Your lucky numbers this week are: 1,2,3, all the way up to infinity. I am just saying. Shit is going to go good for you. Open your mouth! Get ready!

Syria invites Obama to Damascus »

Interesting, but as Blake points out, not unexpected. I’d like to see what will become of this. And should something come of it, what it will do to relations with other countries in the area (Lebanon esp).
