Blooperville: McCain backdrop not Walter Reed Med Center - it's Walter Reed Middle School

Pams House blend  Sep 05 08

I was wondering why John McCain, during his epic boring speech last night, was standing in front of a green screen that made him look pasty. When the camera showed it from another angle, it was actually a large building that looked like a mansion. I thought, man, why would you want to emphasize something like that?

So much for the stagers who put together the whole McCain Project Runway event. The photo was supposed to be of Walter Reed Army Medical Center (!?), as if the audience should instantly recognize it, but that wasn't even right. It turned out to be a shot of in North Hollywood, CA. Full story...

Q Of The Day: How Diverse Should A Call Be For A "Gay Contingent" In The Inaugural Parade?

Pams House blend  23 hours ago

If a group calls for a "gay contingent in President-Elect Obama's 2009 Inaugural Parade," do they have an obligation to call for a diverse contingent of more than just gays and lesbians?

It's a real situation -- In The Parade is calling for "Lesbian/Gay Representation in Barack Obama's Inaugural Parade":

Marching is an important symbolic act, and the symbolic value of a gay contingent in President-Elect Obama's 2009 Inaugural Parade will say a lot about our new president's sincerity and authentic desire to include everyone in his definition of unity.
