Random Notes

I may bitch about Obama from time to time because he's as human as the rest of us and hasn't waved his magic wand to solve the world's problems. No matter how grouchy I get about his snail's pace on gay rights and his look-the-other-way approach to the systemic torture of U.S. prisoners, he's still better than the Crypt Keeper and Mooseburger Barbie.

Score one for the good guys: The HIV travel ban ended today. I don't believe in hell, so I'm denied the certainty of Jesse Helms eternally drowning in a boiling kettle of shit... but it's still a fun image.
