L. and I received this in the mail a couple of days ago. It’s the front side of an ad sent out by the DNC to convince us to get out and vote for Barack Be The Change,We Are The Ones We’ve Been Waiting ForCommunity Organizer Obama, and then, apparently, sit back and call it a day.
The final stop? Even hand-wringing state Leftist Progressives used to know that you’re damned lucky if it’s even the first.
As the presidential race winds down, you can feel the Republican desperation.
Now, that’s not to say I think this election is a done deal. I’ve got my phone bank list open in another browser window. So after reading this post — and commenting on it, if you’d like — let’s all get back to work.

I'm starting to feel a little more...in context. This mostly happens because I've chatted with people who understand the difference between being honest about having multiple sexual partners and having intentional, respectful, open relationships with partners.
I was messaged by the primary partner of one man I met on the dating site. Her leadership, friendliness and presence were so refreshing. I appreciated her introducing herself as the partner to this handsome man with black and silver beard.
I've had some odd interactions with people I'm attracted to, as well. But by and large I feel happy.
These videos don't show people who communicate like me or who express their feelings like me or who let their passionate light shine like me but they are articulate, loving and brave to have committed their relationships to video.
I smiled and nodded a lot while watching them describe their relationships and, in some cases, struggle with their relationships.

Ben Affleck, who’s hosting “Saturday Night Live” this week, was rehearsing a skit this afternoon mocking Keith Olbermann when Olbermann himself got past security to watch, according to a source with knowledge of the incident.
A source described the skit as “savage,” in portraying Olbermann as a deranged person living at home with his mother. Affleck, said a source, became uneasy with Olbermann in attendance at the 3 p.m., closed-set rehearsal.
But Olbermann, through a spokesman, was complimentary on his first time being mocked on "SNL" — a position his MSNBC colleague Chris Matthews has been in over the years.
“I’m not Sarah Palin,” Olbermann said. “I know how valuable it is to me. And it’s funny." John McCain is expected to be on tomorrow night, but there’s no word if he’s involved at all in this skit.
Poor Keith can't go 20 minutes without saying Sarah Palin's name. I wonder if SNL will bring up Keith's weird obsession with ambitious women. It used to be that Keith and all the MSNBC boyz were obsessed with hating Hillary, but these days they're all freaking obsessed with Sarah Palin. All day long, all night long, the MSNBC theme is: how many ways can we ridicule and mock and jeer the woman? I went through the transcript of Thursday's Countdown and I counted Sarah Palin's name 17 times! That does not include references to Palin as "her" or "bitch" or "slut" or whatever else Keith feels like calling her.
Here's hoping SNL rises to the challenge of truly "savaging" the King of Misogyny.
Today is Hallowe'en, the day we celebrate the birthday of my big black beautiful boy baby beast. Today Datsa is 16 years old! Here I am giving him a birthday hug, wearing my spidery Hallowe'eny shirt.
Of course, we cannot forget the cute, and Amy brings it as usual:
Hope everyone out there has all treats and no tricks!
Does that look scary? In any case, today's deep thought is about credit cards and the weird flip-flopping the credit card industry has undergone recently, having moved from trying to stop people ever walking away from a bankruptcy to advocating for forgiveness of some percentage of delinquent credit charges.
Well, it's not quite about that, but close. I have a question:
Why aren't those little pieces of plastic called debt cards? That's what they are, you know, and calling them that might remind people about the fact.
