Red
Love & War
Love these lyrics:
And I can’t do this by myself
All of these problems, there all in your head
And I can’t be somebody else
You took something perfect and painted it red

It’s cra’y cra’y!
A bar on a Friday night.
A twink to his friend: Oh my God! My apartment number is six-thirty and my coat check thing is … six-thirty! How crazy!

Checks and Balances
Fox News contributor and conservative pundit, Margaret Hoover, makes the case for supporting marriage equality. She also explains why the judicial system is the appropriate setting for righting this wrong.
Some Republicans support gay rights, but prefer progress through legislative action or majority rule at the ballot box, rather than judicial action. But what if a democratic election imposes mandates that violate a citizen’s constitutional freedom? In the event that majority rule insufficiently protects individual liberty, our system of checks and balances puts forth that it is the role of the courts, to guarantee and protect the rights to individual Americans.
That’s why the Supreme Court, in 1967 Loving v. Virginia, legalized interracial marriage –six years after our current president was born to an interracial couple. At that time 73% of the population opposed “miscegenation.” How long would it have taken to change popular opinion, for the minority to democratically win their constitutional rights? As Martin Luther King, Jr. famously asserted, “Justice delayed is justice denied.”

DiMartino Interprets “Bad Romance”
That adorable sign language interpreter who brought us his version of Britney’s “Womanizer” last year is back with his take of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.”
This kid could probably direct some awesome videos if he was given the chance.

No More Manies with George?
George Stephanopoulos has started his new gig at Good Morning America. It’s just a matter of time before he leaves This Week altogether. I guess that means he’ll be leaving DC, too. Damn, I’ve always wanted to chat him up over manicures at the salon we frequent. Imagine the scuttlebutt I could have heard!
