upcoming presidential elections... food for thought.

“I have clearly stated my belief that gays and lesbians are our brothers and sisters and should be provided the respect, dignity, and rights of all other citizens. I have consistently spoken directly to African-American religious leaders about the need to overcome the homophobia that persists in some parts our community so that we can confront issues like HIV/AIDS and broaden the reach of equal rights in this country.

I strongly believe that African Americans and the LGBT community must stand together in the fight for equal rights. And so I strongly disagree with Reverend McClurkin’s views and will continue to fight for these rights as President of the United States to ensure that America is a country that spreads tolerance instead of division.”

thrill the world

last night was my friend jk's learn to dance the thriller party. needless to day, he and his fabulous roommate went to town with costumes and decor. literally, the mj jacket reproduction is made out of electrical tape.

it was a blast - and a great work out. here's some fun from the party. and, by the way, this in no way means i endorse the occult. oh, and for the real thriller, click here.

genius.

kevin, the new cosby of parenthood.

this is what a big college campus needs.

outdoor classrooms. or pavilions with comfortable seating, outlets for laptops, and wi-fi. how else is a person to work on a gorgeous day? staying inside can be quite stifling.

so, go forth. lobby. make it happen. it will keep students sane.

see? something like this, but with laptop friendly seats. grand idea if you ask me.

ladies, need a happy thought today?

then click here.

and give a big thank you to brad pitt and wolfgang peterson.

i love a fiesty man.

go president carter.

poetry and truth.

"Pity the Nation," the latest poem by 80-year-old Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who still works at his City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco.

Pity the nation whose people are sheep,
and whose shepherds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced,
and whose bigots haunt the airwaves.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice,
except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully as hero
and aims to rule the world with force and by torture.
Pity the nation that knows no other language but its own
and no other culture but its own.
Pity the nation whose breath is money
and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.
Pity the nation -- oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away.
My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty.
