It's been a while...

But here I am again!

I just got back from a mini-vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks with one of my best friends and some family and friends, and it was AMAZING! Granted, my liver has again suffered irreparable damage, but you will have that on occasion!

I did a lot of fun things, saw some things I NEVER thought I'd see and had what was quite simply one of the best times of my life. Certainly the best vacation of my adult life!

The last month-and-a-half or so have been interesting. Several doors apparently have closed in my life, but Providence has opened many windows in their place.

Work certainly is becoming more interesting as I move back into the night news side. At first, I was pissed about that, but I am becoming much more excited. I know it will work out well.

In all, life is pretty good, and I am doing my best to enjoy it!

Anyhow, back to cleaning and watching some CSPAN coverage of the Democrat convention!

New respect for Hillary!

I am an Obama supporter, no doubt about it. However, I saw this on CNN today, and it gave me new respect for Hillary Clinton. Get it, girl!

Shocking news

Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt today announced that he will not be seeking a second term in office this fall. That comes as quite a surprise to many people, not the least of which is the Republican establishment in the state.

What's Blunt up to? No one seems to know for sure, but if a Republican wins the White House this fall, I'd put good money on the fact that it's either done with Blunt on the ticket as a vice presidential candidate or that Blunt ends up with a prime Cabinet post.

With love, from Arkansas

So Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor turned viable president candidate, has taken up the mantle of those who believe we should amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gay marriage. Only this nutjob now is equating gay marriage to bestiality.

Yes, I am gay, and yes, I believe I should be afforded the same legal rights as anyone else in this country. Do I believe it has to be called marriage? No. Do I believe churches should be forced to recognize it? Hell no.

But I do think it's time that we stop talking about homosexuality as if it is an illness. I think it's time we stop letting liberal be a dirty word. I think it's time we are able to say that we are religious, god-fearing people, too, and I certainly think it's time that we stand up and not let idiots like Huckabee control the conversation in this country.
