Bloviators
From the excrement comments at Will Bunch’s Attytood blog:
Islamic extremism or global warming? Which is the fundamemtal struggle of our time?
To me, neither. Abortion hands down. Since I see a living breathing baby and not just a fetus, I see two million of the most innocent being murdered in America alone every year. Nothing else [...]
Only a Mom Knows
Twice in the same “Phables” strip (warning, PDF), Brad Guigar writes, “Only a mom knows how sometimes the fear of one’s own death has nothing to do with one’s own life.”
Right, “only a mom” has any sense of responsibility or devotion to the family. “Only a mom” knows what it’s like to have children who [...]
Today is Sam’s Birthday.
Here are some photos from his past visit.

Sam has been visiting this past week, and with Thanksgiving on top, it was a weekend of light blogging. It’s amazing how much he’s developed in the past two months, and a long two months it’s been: although I didn’t blog about it at the time, sometime in October, I had a really bad [...]

I have a long piece brewing about Sam’s most recent visit: that shoudl be published later today (or tonight if I’m not too shitfaced after Drinking Liberally).
In the meantime, here are some photos to tide you over.
That’s the lovely Christina behind him, as well as my brother’s youngest son Elliott, with his mom Dreya.
Sam was [...]

Hmmm…. Remind You of Anything?
Savage Love
My 34-year-old sister, call her “Carrie,” came out to the family a week ago and is looking for us all to support the decisions she’s making surrounding her coming out.
Background: My sister has been somewhat happily married for 14 years and has four children, all under the age of 12. She wants to move [...]
