Taking a Month Off…

August 19, 2009 by BearsLeft

Is kind of cool.  Thankfully I don’t draw any income from this blog, otherwise the month off would have probably been ruinous, but it was a nice break.

That being said, I am hopefully back to the more regular updates, writing, snarkiness, etc.

We will open with Rep. Barney Frank who demonstrates what a spine looks like.

December 18, 2008 by PamsHouseBlend

I was very surprised to hear the news that my friend Diego Sanchez is going to by Rep. Barney Frank's (D-MA) new Legislative Assistant -- a senior policy advisor to the congressman. Mr. Sanchez is going to be taking over for Joe Racalto at Rep. Frank's Washington DC Congressional office -- Sanchez's new workplace is going to be a congressional office in Washington DC's Labor Building.

As Rep. Frank's Legislative Assistant, Sanchez will be responsible for tracking LGBT, healthcare, veterans, and labor issues, as well as issues regarding the 2010 census.

PageOneQ: Michelle Obama appears alongside Frank, Baldwin at LGBT DNCC event

September 1, 2008 by BlueGrassRoots

During the convention, I had the pleasure of meeting Nick Langewis of Front Page Q. Here is some of his coverage:

After speaking in front of a crowd on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, Michelle Obama, wife of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and Illinois Senator Barack Obama, appeared in front of an audience of over 600 at an LGBT caucus meeting, including delegates and members of the media alongside Reps. Barney Frank (D-MA) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), at a delegate luncheon Tuesday.

"I am honored and thrilled," Obama opened to applause. "I could stay here all afternoon."

"I'm particularly glad to be here on a week that commemorates some of the great strides our nation has made towards equality and justice," she said. "It's been five years since Lawrence v. Texas and 39 years since Stonewall, but still, we've got work to do before we achieve equality in the LGBT community. And although we know that we've got a lot of work to do, this week we're going to celebrate how far we've come, and how deep our shared capacity is to break through any barriers that stand in our way to the progress of this nation."
