Another anti-gay urban myth floating through the ether…

[I’d seen a glancing reference to the Rolling Stone article cited elsewhere… it struck me as absurd, and after reading the various reactions, I think I’m right. -Thomas]
Chasing the Bug Chasers by Tim Cavanaugh
How much of an urban legend is Rolling Stone’s controversial “Bug Chasers” story? As you may know if you’ve been following Drudge, […]

The rank smell of right wing politics…

[Note, how, once again, the quotes from people opposing this privatization initiative come from narrowly focused issue groups, or from individuals directly affiliated with the park system, whereas the quotes from the private sector supporters common from the generically right-wing Competitive Enterprise Institute - and they get the last word.
Where is the quote from the […]

Fighting for the soul of the Sierra Club

Growing a Global Justice Movement

Stronger than Ever: Far From Fizzling Out, the Global Justice Movement
is Growing in Numbers and Maturity
by George Monbiot

January 28, 2003 — Mr Bush and Mr Blair might have a tougher fight
than they anticipated. Not from Saddam Hussein perhaps — although it
is still not obvious that they […]

Branciforte Elementary

The school board voted to close Branciforte and Bayview Elementary schools last night. My guess is that, when all is said and done, our kids will wind up attending De Laveaga Elementary, just east of Highway 1. Means they’ll have to drive or bicycle to school, since it isn’t really within practical walking distance (I’ll […]

Saddam I Am

According to the LA Times (1/25/03) Mr Bush is contemplating using nuclear missiles in his upcoming war.
So I think we need some cheering up.

GLBT Caucus in action

[Another step the slow, but steady evolution of legal/regulatory protections for queer folk. We’ll see how far it goes. If the Bible thumpers are counting on Davis’ presidential ambitions holding him back from supporting such a bill, they’re bound to be sorely disappointed - he’s clearly not in the race.

New Bi Pride Flag

Our old Bi Pride flag was worn and faded, so I replaced it with a new one a few days ago. Not sure what to do with the old one… I guess typical policy is to burn worn out American flags, which I guess would extend to old flags of other types. Still thinking about […]

School days…

Went to visit the girls at school today… Lynnaea’s class was playing some kind of tag game. I couldn’t quite figure out what the rules were, but the kids seemed to be having a blast. Their gym teacher said it was inspired by some kind of game he saw while he was in Thailand. Lynessa […]
