OMG Obama poked me!!!
OMG!!! Did you see us on TV Monday?!? Obama spoke to us and I swear he looked right at me!!! And he mentioned gay stuff and assured us we'll be protected!!!
Yeah but no laws yet, no repeal of DADT and DOMA, and I still can't get married in DC or Wisconsin. Promises, promises - heard all that before. Monday's event was sort of like getting poked on Facebook: it's a cute gesture but doesn't amount to much. Uruguay lifted their ban on gays serving in their military and they have gay marriage too for chrissake. It's time to change things here too.
So sorry hun, I'm not gonna get off on a hat tip or a smile in my direction again, anymore. Nice words are not laws. I need some laws removed, and some laws in my favor. Otherwise it's just a whole lotta gas comin' out of the White House and Captiol Hill as usual. We've seen this act before from Smilin' Wille, remember? Do you think we have the memory of a gnat? (Obvious Answer: "yes") No more gAyTM until we get laws in the books! UPDATE: here's a brilliant response to Monday's cocktail party in a letter to Salon.
Anyway, on to woofy things. My agents and I suspect the Natural Beer Man may be Battlestar Galactica veteran actor Ty Olsson. It's hard to be sure with the low quality of video imagery that we have available. I'll appreciate any additional intel or even a personal visit from Natural Beer Man if possible.
Another beard:personality type test. My favorite is the Chinstrap - "The name's Bag. Douche Bag."
Me and the D&D gaming geeks are featured in a Butt Magazine interview. The direct link is pretty tame but the site isn't the best one to be viewed at work.
From my favorite naturalist blog Bug Girl, learn how to seduce fireflies in your backyard. And did you know it's National Pollinator Week?
What to do over the 3-day holiday weekend? Personally, I want to go to a crab feast somewhere. I'm told there are good places over on Kent Island. Anyone have any suggestions? I want that picnic-table with brown paper on it, Old Bay sort of Maryland experience. I haven't done that in a while, but it's what I must do in lieu of a lutefisk boil.
Other than that, those different kind of homos at The New Gay have planned some down-home Taint on Thursday 7/2, Homo/Sonic at the Black Cat on Friday the 3rd, and Mixtape on Saturday 7/4.

I always liked it when Ty showed up in the BSG episodes.
For your crab feast, I remember having a good (brown paper table) experience at Captain Billy's in Maryland. http://www.captbillys.com/
The most amusing response to Obama's Monday event I've seen is this: http://letters.salon.com/news/feature/2009/06/30/obama_lgbt/permalink/a26fdddd11b0a90c314b281053694979.html

Poke.
Everyone placed Obama on a pedestal and assumed that everything was going to magically change once he got into office.
Rob and I got alot of flack for saying that he would play the same tune as other so called "Friends of the Gays" once he got into office.
Now that folks are seeing the same old stuff being done again. They are getting pissed. Well.. I told ya so.
I never trusted politicians, and I never will. Until One of us gets into a level of power like the Presidency, we will be still treated as 3rd class citizens.
