Find the one's who don't believe, hang them from the trees

If I were exchanging gifts with Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens this Christmas I'd send them this song, the best (and second funniest) on I'm Having Fun Now.

I have never seen a love that was greater, between two men who couldn't be straighter

My main feeling about the DADT vote was sadness that both sides couldn't lose. While all the right people are mad on the losing side, there are more than a few snide twitterati that I feel could use an attitude adjustment.

Anyway, I doubt I'll see much immediate change after the repeal becomes final. The support troops all already about as gay as it's possible to be so it won't be a big deal there, and I doubt too many combat guys are coming out in hostile environment, in those units where it exists, even if they have the legal right.

Here's what's currently my fourth favorite and third funniest song on my album of the year. Apparently Jenny Lewis and her (sigh) boyfriend Johnathan Rice made a porno album called I'm Having Fun Now. Me, too!

And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night.

So this girl called me again. At 2:30 a.m. Yes, that post is dated two and a half years ago. No, I hadn't heard from her since then. No, I hadn't met her more than a half dozen times or seriously spent time with her more than once.

It wasn't until about three hours after she passed out and I hung up that I finally remembered who she was and when/where we'd known each other; her drunken explanations for why she called were highly entertaining and interesting but not very factually useful.
