McBush without Palin
Hmmm...So the McCain campaign moved a rally in Jacksonville, FL to a bigger stadium to accommodate overwhelming interest. The attendance is anything but overwhelming.
People are more interested in your #2. Get the hint, we don't want you.

Come Dream with Me
My dear friends
Sometime before the end of the year, I will be submitting the application to become an American citizen. That’s paperwork. In my heart, I am already an American; after all, this is a land that rewards those who dare to dream. As a young man some ten years ago, I arrived in America with hope and aspirations. I didn’t know then that a little hope and a leap of faith would fuel a journey that was peppered with open doors, friends, loved ones and opportunities that confirmed the belief that I could be anybody I desire to be. Today I continue to dream and I hope you will join me.
I don’t usually discuss my personal life. Today however, I am hoping that those of you who care for me know that as a gay man, it is very important to me that the constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage be defeated in November. There is something very wrong when society decides to legislate against love. I can’t vote yet, so I am asking those of you who can to preserve the American values and vote against bigotry and discrimination.
Vote NO on Prop 8 in the California Ballot this November

Whether you are a Republican, Democrat or an Independent, I think you will agree with me that this current Administration has let us down. We can’t afford to have another right wing conservative judge that rules by his or her own personal biases and beliefs. We need a judge that will uphold the constitution.
Between campaigns of fear and hope, I trust you will choose hope and support Barack Obama.

Thanks for listening to me and thanks for dreaming with me.

I hold no grudge
I hold no grudge
There's no resentment und'neath
I'll extend the laurel wreath and we'll be friends
But right there is where it ends
I hold no grudge
And I'll forgive you your mistake
But forgive me if I take it all to heart
And make sure that it doesn't start again
Yes I'm the kind of people
You can step on for a little while
But when I call it quits
Baby that's it
I'm the kind of people
You can hurt once in a while
But crawling just ain't my style
I hold no grudge
Deep inside me there's no regrets
Angelo Badalamenti, John Clifford for Nina Simone

My Horoscope Today - Interesting...
"Becoming closer to someone else is a very rewarding sensation for you right now, but it could also be negatively affecting your sense of independence. This is a natural dilemma that you should be aware of, not a problem you should run away from. You are going through a wonderful transition in your life, and today is a good day to look for balance between the life you led alone and the life you will lead in partnership with someone else."

2006: Looking Back Moving Forward
2006
It's one of those years where I was kind of on auto-pilot. I spent a lot of time working and didn't travel as much as I would have liked. Two of my very good friends left the Bay Area in search of greener pastures: Trish went to sunny San Diego and Shawn and his partner went further South to Atlanta. It just kind of happened, quite suddenly.
Trish, I still miss our daily milkshakes. I never get tired of seeing you everyday because you made me smile.
There are some significant events which I would like to remember as time goes by. And I would like to share them with you:
New Addition to the Family: Teddy
He is the most affectionate cat. He came to us a sickly kitten. Now he is such a joy, a purrfect companion for us and for Calvin, our other gentle kitty. Teddy, you are a blessing.
New Job
I left Knight Ridder in April. It ceased to exist soon after. It was sad for a great newspaper publishing company. Now I am in a high growth hi-tech company and love it. The environment is fast pace and non-routine and it is nice to be amongst so many talented and intelligent people.
Funny Girl came to Town
On November 13th, the legendary Barbra Streisand came to town. Thanks to Bob who sent me a link to the pre-public ticket sales, I wasted little time buying tickets. It was a dream come true. She was relaxed and appeared to enjoy herself. Her voice was divine. The lady who sat beside me was all verklempt and sobbed throughout the concert.
Barney
You are my rock. You took care of the yard, the roses and the plants. You cooked the most scrumptious meals for us everyday and you took care of me. Thanks for the breath-taking sights in Washington. Those migrating salmons are unreal! There are countless memories that I will cherish for a very long time. Thanks for sharing the year with me.
Victory
Extreme right wing agenda loses steam; corruption and incompetance exposed. Americans have spoken and let's hope the party of intolerance spends some time reflecting on its divisive policies that are so destructive to world peace and the environment.
2007
Now what?
We have decided to move on. I hope we can be friends forever because I care and I worry for you all the time. We still have each other.
Cheers to body, mind and spirit. And to 2007, I quote the Funny Girl:
ON A CLEAR DAY, I CAN SEE FOREVER

A Posting on MSNBC.com
I think if Jesus came back and saw what Republicans do in his name, he'd kick some serious butt.
