ezs news: this is promising news, but, as always, it's best to consult a competent physician before making any moves. (In other words, he/she shouldn't get his/her "diploma" from a box of Pop-Tarts!)

http://www.signalscv.com/
ezs note: One-third of homeless are GLBT. Think of that. Then do two things: make a donation to your local GLBT chapter. Second, DEMAND that permanent and temporary housing be built for our homeless friends. You can make a difference!

Elizabeth Warren for POTUS? Hmmmm...
Credit: media.npr.org
In the last election, Barack Obama was my choice. Still is. On the whole, I believe he is a good choice.
But on those times the President gets a little fudgy, someone needs to hold his feet to the fire. Unfortunately, not too many Democratic Senators are willing to do this.
Elizabeth Warren is a refreshing exception.
When Barack Obama nominated people who were just a bit too cozy with Wall Street, she didn't passively let it go by. She said, hey Barack, you gotta do better than this.
Early on, I believe that Elizabeth Warren might be a good president. I know what she must be thinking. Being a senator really isn't all that bad. Despite its trappings, the White House is a place of a million headaches.
I respect that. But before you brush aside the idea, at least give it a second thought. If nothing else, it'll give those outside the commonwealth of Massachusetts a chance to vote for you!

SCOTUS alert
Tomorrow might be a humongous day. The Supreme Court of the United States of America might be deciding, first, whether gays and lesbians are unfairly taxed, and second, whether gays and lesbians should have the right to marry nationwide. (Let's hope they choose "yes" on both!) In any case, I'll be watching carefully. Hope we win!
