It had been a rough few weeks. Actually, make that a rough few months. My boss had recently died, which–emotional issues aside (and there were emotional issues)–necessitated closing a Congressional office, attending a funeral and finding new work. In looking for work, through some connections, I found myself in the employ of one of America’s most [...]

The U.S. Small Business Administration filed a court motion last December giving its approval of a bankruptcy filing by Window Media, the company that owned the Washington Blade, resulting in the shutdown of the Blade after a 40-year run as an LGBT newspaper, according to court documents. But in an unexpected turn of events, the dissolution of [...]

Note: OMG, apparently my Ambien eating disorder has morphed into a posting disorder.  I have no recollection of writing this post last night.  Not bad though. The OKC Thunder rolled into Boston Friday night without Kevin Durant.  Game over huh?  Well not exactly.  Now I know a little bit about Russell Westbrook and James Harden, but I [...]

It’s a weak weekend for college football… The top three BCS teams, Oregon, Auburn and TCU, are off and No. 4 Boise State plays tonight. Only two teams that are still somewhat in the BCS title mix play another ranked opponent: N0. 8 Nebraska at No. 19 Texas A&M and No. Ohio State at No. 20 [...]

I guess I’m not the only one that thought having a brick wall immediately adjacent to an end zone was about as smart as Brittany having babies.   But that’s how the field was originally configured for Saturday’s Northwestern-Illinois game at Wrigley. Brick wall in the end zone? Not a good idea. Then again, it’s not a [...]

For the first time in the history of the top 25 college football hotties rankings we’ve got two teammates in the top 10.  That must officially make Nebraska the hottest college football team in the land, or maybe they’re just top heavy.   Get me on the next plane to Lincoln. Wait a minute…the children of [...]

Well boys and girls we began the work week with DADT we may as well end it that way. As news was making it’s way Thursday evening and as reported at the website The Lookout , Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman told reporters today that two Republican senators have pledged they will vote to end the military’s ban on gay [...]

Felix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners picked up the 2010 American League Cy Young award today. While some may argue that a pitcher with only 13 wins isn’t deserving of the award, I would argue only stats that a pitcher can fully command like ERA, batting average and strikeouts, should determine a pitcher’s value. King Felix’s Ridiculous [...]

This from Reuters, “The Kids Are All Right,” a modern take on the comic family drama starring Annette Bening and Julianne Moore, has sparked a lot of talk heading into Hollywood’s awards season and is widely being mentioned as an Oscar contender. The film, which hits DVD shelves this week in the United States and is about to open [...]

Eva Longoria, the really, really bad actress on Desperate Housewives , has filed for divorce from her husband/point guard Tony Parker.  And as so often happens these days, the story as first reported by US Weekly is accurate — Tony Parker was deep dicking his former teammate’s wife. Erin Barry, the wife of former teammate Brent Barry, allegedly was [...]

Same-sex attraction is not inherently sinful, according to a new policy change by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In a new edition of its leadership guidelines, the Mormon Church removed previous language calling for gays to repent of their “homosexual thoughts or feelings.” But LGBT Mormons must remain celibate in order to participate in temple [...]

Stream of unconscious thoughts while home alone on a Wednesday. I finally understand… The feeling I get when Cowboys’ fans argue has to be like the feeling straight guys get when girls fight. Tap the brakes… One game does not a season make, so let’s tap the brakes on the Michael Vick for NFL MVP talk. Some in the knee-jerking media [...]

Nebraska wide receiver Niles Paul has had his shares of ups and downs in Lincoln, but there’s no disputing that through it all, he’s looked damn good. So for all of my followers who say that I got too many whities on my list of the hottest players in college football, this one’s for you. Congratulations [...]

To again bypass the more serious stuff since the GetEqual (or GetEquate as sold at Walmart) posting on Monday, I give you a posting at Pam’s House Blend written by TechBear and his diary posting titled ” My answer to intrusive airport security kilts “. I’ve flown in kilts: when you are a guy and have to sit for several [...]

You know whenever you hear someone utter that disclaimer a lame excuse will follow. So here’s the full quote from Steelers kicker Jeff Reed, who missed his seventh field goal of the season in Pittsburgh’s 39-26 loss to the Patriots Sunday: “I’m not going to make excuses. If you’ve played any kind of sports in your [...]
