How the dream of going to the prom transformed a teen girl's life

Two themes came together for me in a post I just read by Afrocity celebrating the first birthday of her blog yesterday, April 8. One is the power of a dream to transform one’s life — the dream of going to the prom, the dream of marriage. I’ve been too emotional about the story of …

Welcome, Rush-lanche! Thank you, Mark Steyn!

Welcome, new gentle readers who just heard me on “The Rush Limbaugh” show with Mark Steyn. Also, thank you, conservative gay Newsreal blogger, Mark Koenig (see DaTechGuy’s YouTube video of him from CPAC last month), for giving me the heads-up that Mark Steyn mentioned today he was inviting calls from conservative lesbians and gays.

My darling HillBuzz boyz, don't just leave the Democrats, JOIN the Republicans

I am up way past my bedtime, but I just got quite the shot of adrenaline from seeing in my newsfeed the following headline from HillBuzz: “We are very close to no longer being Democrats.” My darlings — I love you with all my heart — as Ronald Reagan said — you are not leaving …

Kathy Griffin, fiscal conservative unaware

Kathy Griffin made my late life partner, Margaret Ardussi, laugh when she was in pain and dying, as much as I’d ever heard her laugh in our 20+ years together. We watched her first HBO special, “My Life on the D-list,” again and again in the fall of 2004 in the weeks before Margaret died. …

Best Fisking of the 'Inherited Deficits' assertion

Punksmacking for Gay Patriot, bitchslapping for Peggy Noonan

Gay Patriot fell into bad company yesterday, by which I mean Peggy Noonan, who is too elitist and envious to understand the miracle that is Sarah Palin, and Noonan persuaded him that our nation’s ills are due to us pampered, spoiled Baby Boomers. Here is Noonan’s central problem: Obama is deliberately bringing down this country, …

UPDATED — Eleven buses and counting from Bel Air to the 9/12 Tea Party in D.C.

I set the DVR just before Obama’s Hail Mary healthcare reform speech to Congress was going to start and took a short drive to Tony Passaro’s house. I had to give him my check for $30 to reserve a seat on the bus caravan Tony is organizing to attend the 9/12 Tea Party in Washington, …
