Why I do not look for dates online - part 2
12/22/2008 09:22 PM
More reasons why I don’t look on line for dates.
This is a real-life profile and example of why I
don’t date much.
The Headline: pretty much fierce
The Profile:
Age 21 From Madison, WI -
Man Seeking A Man
my power animal would have to be fierce and sparkly...like a puma, rolled in glitter.
My take on it:
Does it have to be rolled? What about lightly dusted? Or a dash?
When I see descriptions like this all I can see is a self-imposed stereotype, rolled in Splenda.

Obama's Homophobia

Yeah... I still support him, but it is starting to fade
with every day and every op/ed piece that comes out. I
expect my little Obama supporting banner in the
masthead will be down before the inauguration.
From Time Magazine’s John Cloud:
Obama reminds me a little bit of Richard Russell Jr., the longtime Senator from Georgia who — as historian Robert Caro has noted — cultivated a reputation as a thoughtful, tolerant politician even as he defended inequality and segregation for decades. Obama gave a wonderfully Russellian defense of Warren on Thursday at a press conference. Americans, he said, need to "come together" even when they disagree on social issues. "That dialogue is part of what my campaign is all about," he said. Russell would often use the same tactic to deflect criticism of his civil rights record. It was a distraction, Russell said, from the important business of the day uniting all Americans. Obama also said today that he is a "fierce advocate for equality" for gays, which is — given his opposition to equal marriage rights — simply a lie. It recalls the time Russell said, "I'm as interested in the Negro people of my state as anyone in the Senate. I love them."
I really hope this is not the view of change I am going to be seeing for the next 4 years.
