Probably better, like cats and Cher..you love them or hate them. At the end of the day we have more money. Let's get along. I believe that she is like many others by not having the savey and advice about complex state tax issues. She is not a tax scammer. She will need to cough up to our detriment. Leave her alone. About Claire,

It's striking me as personality conflicts that people are wrapping in the cloak of bigger issues. I don't know any of these people, and I live close to 5000 miles from DC. I obviously don't know the inside story ... but based on political groups I've been involved with in the past this seems like the same old story that's repeated ad nauseam in every organization.

When did "Bitch Boy" from the Blade get the promotion to start writing the "heavy" stuff? While he may have moved on - he still entertains us with that dry, comic wit!

I don't think that it's any mystery that lots of gay people are intent on gay marriage even to the exclusion of other political issues. Not all people believe that gay "marriage" as such is the most intelligent solution to the issues relevant to partnership or family. Conservatives like Sullivan have done a great job of convincing people that gays should be best off in bougeoise heteronormative guise.That outside of that issue nothing matters as far a gay rights. WE queers need to wise up and realise that we have been misslead into believing that THAT is necessarily a substantive issue, and that we need to develope a much more responsible and rich gay platfom. I seriously doubt that a letter from Hitchcocks partner , buy itself would have any affect on a firing decision. That seems silly.

This is the way the Big Boys (and Girls) play. I'm missing the deeper significance of the story. Nice story … but it all just seems politics as usual to me.

Cuz, if he ain't me and my pal Mike Huckabee might want to give 'em a good spit fuck. Is Dean going to have sex with those cows?
