What a difference a few days (and a deluge of membership cancellations) made for online hookup site Manhunt and its co-owner Jonathan Crutchley, who resigned from the board in the wake of the revelation that he was in the tank for McCain to the tune of $2300. It's pretty clear that his overnight conversion -- McCain returned the check and Crutchley sent the cash to Obama -- was a business preservation decision, not a political one. Mike Signorile, with more background: So why not continue to back him now if gay issues were never the reason you had backed him before? McCain, after all, is not showing anything different by giving the money back, since he's been courting homophobes all along. Full story...
It looks like whatever murky international ties to the finances of Bill Clinton have been addressed and Barack Obama plans to name Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State.
Paging Tina Fey, we need one more skit from you... it doesn't get any better/worse than this. The failed GOP Veep candidate gabs about the greatness of small business and happy turkeys while the fowl is offed behind her.

By Erin Ferns
Following an historic turnout in the 2008 election comes a flurry of election reform agendas from both sides of the battle over voting rights.
As always, this is a difficult day. I’ve been aware of Transgender Day of Remembrance since its first year, and have always commemorated it in some way each year.
Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. It is a solemn day where our community comes together to remember and honor those lost to anti-transgender hate and violence.
Just pathetic...these folks never sleep. Yes on 8's Ron Prentice brags about the $urplus of cash they have, then makes a pitch for more buxx.
I woke up tired this morning, after a really restless night of sleep. I dreamed I was in a hostage situation, and because I had to go to the restroom, the hostage takers were going to likely discover I was trans -- it was pretty clear to me in the dream that if those folks found out I was trans that I would be considered an spiritual abomination, and would be killed.

I first read the play Hamlet when I was 13 years old. Although I refused to read any assigned books in English class, I secretly read a bunch of unassigned books on the side.
GM, Ford and Chrysler CEOs trotted up to the hill to beg for your tax dollars to bail them out because, well, Big Auto is failing.
