Best Line of the Day

Fuller alleges, if voters had known Bruce was a tranny, they’d never have voted for her. In fact, Fuller’s attorney, in a bizarre logical leap, claims that by running as a woman, Bruce was able to curry unfair favor with Riverdale voters.

You Don’t Know Me

You Don’t Know Me

Still Here

Just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here. I know I haven’t posted recently, for the following reasons:

My oh my, you sure know how to arrange things.
You set it up so well, so carefully.
Ain’t it funny how your new life didn’t change things?
You’re still the same old girl you used to be. — Lyin’ Eyes, the Eagles

What Next?

What Next?

Last night I wrote a friend a rant that was full of expletives and frustration. Most of my disgruntlement was from the Wednesday’s passage in the House of Representatives of the sexual orientation only Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
It was a historic day for gays and lesbians (if only symbolically), but it was a setback for the [...]
