No musical grand finale or nuthin', just podventing really. It's easier that way sometimes, and also the podcast thing is addictive. Sorry.
Like most other gay folks, I was gratified the other night to hear President Obama announce at the State of the Union address his intention to put repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell on the agenda for 2010. Of course we were all hyped when we heard it the first time, too. Back when he was pandering the rainbow coalition for votes during his campaign, pledging to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. To start working toward getting rid of DADT during his first year as president was part of that promise. Not that he has totally snubbed us, I guess, but tagging him a "fierce advocate" is probably a stretch .

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Mom did hide the hedge clippers, though. :-)

ReplyDeleteI must be honest, I listened for just a bit...the story is just too horrible for me to stomach. But I did listen to a good couple of minutes or so...enough to say DOUG! You are getting good at your Pods! Soooooooooooooooooooo natural and relaxed. Every time you do one, makes me think I gotta do another sometime too...and I will...just too lazy these days.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!
I really hope you do more podcasting, Lumina. You always have an excellent message to share (unlike me, I'm not in denial about that) and your voice is sooooo soothing! Too many s's and o's in that last sentence, but yeah. Wish you might.
