Sometimes the Truth Hurts – Unless You're Too Stooopid to See The Truth

August 31, 2010September 29, 2018 B. John 398 Views 0 Comments Bigots, Gay Marriage, Nom, National Organization for Marriage, Maggie Gallagher, Brian Brown, hate

Perhaps one of the biggest loons in the anti-equality campaign if former Executive Director (now Board Chairperson) of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), Maggie Gallagher. Maggie had a child out-of-wedlock, has been married twice, and despite basically making herself the self-proclaimed world champion of traditional marriage, has never been seen at any event with an actual husband or any of her children. What a sad and small person she is. It would be easy to feel sorry for her, but she’s made it her mission in life to foment hate against loving, committed gay couples, so she gets what she deserves. In this case, a well deserved cartooning is in order. Poor Maggie, hate and bigotry, even against Gay people, just becomes harder and harder to justify, but at least she makes a good living at it.

Work has been hectic, and I had to work all last weekend. I was traveling this week to Washington, D.C., and had an interesting meeting there at the Pentagon. But now, here’s something to watch that is just plain fun.

Dame Judy Dench – Send in the Clowns

August 6, 2010August 10, 2015 B. John 308 Views 0 Comments BBC, Dame Judy Dench, Stephen Sondheim

Sunday evening the BBC, on their Proms show, celebrated the 80th birthday of Stephen Sondheim. There are several good videos of performances from the show, and while Send in The Clowns isn’t one of my favorite Sondheim songs, it is Judy Dench, and I just don’t know anyone with more class. And below is the very funny take on Everybody Ought To Have A Maid.

Tim Curtis Gets My Vote for U.S. House

August 4, 2010 B. John 359 Views 1 Comment Cathy Castor, Tim Curtis, 11th congressional district

OK, I admit I’d not given much thought to the Democratic Primary for 11th Congressional District. I’m not overly impressed with Cathy Castor, but she’s generally socially progressive, so I expected to vote for her. I frankly didn’t even know she had an opponent. That changed tonight, and Tim Curtis has earned my vote.

The Kids are All Right – A Movie Review

August 1, 2010 B. John 375 Views 0 Comments Drama, Mark Ruffalo, Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, LGBT, Annette Bening, Josh Hutchersonkn, Lisa Cholodenko

Two teenaged children conceived by artificial insemination get the notion to seek out their birth father and introduce him into the family life that their two mothers have built for them. Once the donor is found, the household will never be the same, as family ties are defined, re-defined, and then re-re-defined. This was an excellent movie which I highly recommend with some caveats.
