Gay Merit Badges

Gay Merit Badges
On June 28, 2000, the Supreme Court decided against James Dale in his case to remain a Boy Scout leader thus legally allowing the Boy Scouts of America to discriminate and exclude homosexuals. We are denied the chance to earn merit badges, so it is time we have our own. How you earn these is experimental, not a rigid code. Wear them with pride and realize we have one thing the leaders of both the BSA and Supreme Court do not have, a sense of humor.

Six Feet Under Finale

n the series finale of Six Feet Under , David finally embraces a demon; Keith gives "tough love"; Nathaniel talks to his younger son; Brenda delivers early and fights Nate's negativity; Claire gets an exciting phone call; Ted inspires some sexy photos; Margaret is impressed to see Olivier's nurturing side; Rico and Vanessa celebrate an investment; Ruth finds consolation in the truth from Maggie; George's limitations eclipse his intentions; and Claire drives into her future.
The whole season is excellent, but this last episode blew me away. The final montage of Claire driving east was incredibly powerful, I was a blubbering mess by the time it ended. Kudos to HBO for producing yet another revolutionary series!

Magnetic Peace

PEACE: :Bring Our Troops Home" is a Statement of Hope...
I wanted to do something for our troops and our country. This is why we created the “Bring our Troops Home” (B.O.T.H.) magnetic peace sign.
As a former U.S. Navy, Vietnam-era, Submarine Veteran, and current U.S. Navy civil servant, I feel very deeply the personal sacrifice that our men and women in the military give everyday to our country; I see it in their faces, their uniforms and in our flag. We want to honor them by selling these magnetic peace signs as a fund raiser, to help support some web based support groups that stand behind our troops, and their families.
