Happy Anniversary, Stevens. You are a wonderful husband, father, and partner.

Edited to add this picture, which is awesome (ht Shakesville, where you should read Liss’s take). Please note, that actually, Sec. Clinton IS wearing some make-up. I love that lipstick.
Can I be Hillary Clinton when I grow up?
All I have to say is, Secretary Clinton, you are my hero.

My favorite books by Maurice Sendak were the Nutshell Library and In the Night Kitchen, but this video of Christopher Walken reading Where the Wild Things Are is a thing of beauty:
Thank you, Mr. Sendak, for illustrating my childhood.

Did you listen to this song when you were a kid? I would laugh so hard watching him play it at concerts, I’d fall out of my chair.
I was at this concert, and thought that Pete Seeger was ancient then, now I think he’s a Spring Chicken.

So I got home the other day to find an envelope addressed to me from Wisconsin Governor Walker, who is up for recall due to the hard work of many of my good friends.
When I opened it I found this:
What was in the envelope. That tri-fold is printed on heavy-weight stiff board.

But I do anyway. I’m waiting for call-backs from ranking Democrats in the HOD to follow-up a rumor that they are recruiting a formerly elected anti-Choice Dem to run against Tag Greason.
My feeling is, if we’re going to have someone who is anti-Choice in that seat, then we might as well keep Tag.
Let me be clear about this, if the rumors are true, I will primary that person and make the election be about Choice. All day, every day. I have had enough of anti-Choice Dems. Puckett and Colgan are just the tip of the iceberg.
I was asked last night why, if I feel this strongly about it, I don’t just run to start with. It’s simple, running is a full-time job and I already have one. I also know for a fact that there are some better qualified pro-Choice Dems who should have the chance first.
But make no mistake. I will not allow a stealth anti-Choicer to get that seat unchallenged. Democratic funds and efforts should be spent on people who will stand up for Choice, for Equality, for the environment, and for the welfare of the citizens of Virginia.

Gone too soon
I heard yesterday that my Cousin Muszka died Monday night. She leaves behind her partner; their 14 year-old daughter; her parents; and a large extended family.
