Finally . . .

. . . a gay and lesbian advocacy group who's not going to just rollover and take a chainsaw up the ass (*cough-cough-HRC-cough*). The Los Angelas Gay & Lesbian Center, the world's largest gay and lesbian organization with a budget of $35 million, is demanding that Microsoft return the Corporate Vision Award presented to it at the 30th Anniversary Gala in 2001. Not only has the L. A. G&L Center rescinded the award, they are also demanding that Microsoft cease promoting on their corporate website that they received it. Read more details about it here, here, and take action here.

Thank you AMERICAblog for covering this story better than the salivating GOP 4th Reich, propagandist lap-dogs also known as the Mainstream Media, ever would.

Aha! A New Nine Inch Nails Video . . .

OK, I know I complained about the blog videos in the past, but I got curious and clicked over to check out the website that hosts them . . . you know, to see what was there.

Anyway, enjoy! (Video No Longer Available) Cheers-Thanksalot!

I've been having a lot of dreams about death the past few nights. Not violent or murderous dreams; I haven't killed anyone nor has anyone been "killed," per se. No, just dying. They've been emotionally intense dreams to say the least. Maybe it's just my mind's way of trying to deal with my grandmother's sudden death and all the death and destruction inundating us every night on the television since Katrina busted the levees and Potemkin-President Bush murdered all those thousands of people through his wonton and arrogant negligence. Hmm . . . Think I could be feeling some anger, too. Since I wrote Tuesday's post, I have to admit my optimism has jaded a bit. The red sun rising over the horizon of my morning drive now seems ...
