Shepard Smith of Fox News asks that age old question:

“How could [McCain] end up with a running mate who doesn’t know that Africa is a continent?”

I dunno, Shep. Maybe they figured Americans wouldn’t notice after 8 years of Dubya.

This morning, I was trying to send words of comfort to a friend of mine who lives in L.A. who happens to be gay. The email was full of words like ‘the day is coming’ and ‘this is just one battle–the war will be won.’ Cliche after stupid, mindless cliche.

It was all bullshit of course. And it’s easy for me to whisper ‘patience’ because it wasn’t my rights that were just shit all over. Rights already granted to the GLBT community earlier this year were just taken away from them.

This isn’t an abstract, political issue. These are people’s lives we’re talking about. Their most basic need for having a sense of security, for having a family, just suffered a public execution.

So get out there and do it.

There’s been a dramatic increase in the number of hits my blog is getting recently. Is it my sparkling wit? My lovely profile pic? Is Waiting For Spring finally bringing me widespread fame?

Nope. It’s that damned hippie sheep.

I started this blog back in January of 2006 as a fun outlet, shortly before I started writing WFS. My first post was not a typical introductory post, but rather a silly commentary about Shrek, the hippie sheep from New Zealand. Looking back, it actually screams “This is me!” in a way a “My name is…I live in…my hair is brown…” affair ever could have done. You can read it here.

For whatever reason, there has been a dramatic increase in interest in this sheep recently, and My Friend Google is leading searchers to my humble blog. It made me curious about the little guy. I wondered if something had happened to him. Another haircut, an accident, maybe a drug arrest. But no. There’s nothing new. I guess some things just have timeless appeal…

Today begins Banned Books week. To celebrate I’m re-reading a frequently banned book, Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck. I chose it because:

1. I like it.
2. I haven’t read it for a long time.
3. It’s short, and will be easy to read in what will be a very busy week for me.
