I started my week-on cycle of HIV meds on Tuesday night, which can be confusing enough as it is. I don't need any help in being confused. But that's what happened when I got up for a bowl of cereal, only to discover that "Clay Aiken is Gay" was a national news story...

Jane Swiftboats Palin
While on the campaign trail in Virginia, Sen. Obama delivered one of his canned lines about the Republican ticket. "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." McCain's newly appointed damage/mind control operative, former Mass. Governor Jane Swift,...
True Blood Work
In all of my blustering about politics, I've realized that I kind of pulled a Bush recently, when I declared I'd finished writing my 2nd book... Mission not accomplished on that front. And there will be no time tables for completion, either. On the plus side, I won't...

Obama Accepts Nomination
In a stunning development, Barack Obama accepted the Democratic party's nomination of him for president last night in Denver. OK, so it wasn't stunning. As he walked out, what was stunning was a producer/event coordinator's decision to wash out the cheers of over...
The Democratic Convention
I'll admit, I'm having a hard time keeping up as of late. International AIDS Conferences, the Olympics, the CAMPUSPORT drama and now the Democratic National Convention. Last night, Hillary delivered her highly anticipated whopper of a speech while Michelle Obama...
McCain’s Cone of Silence
I haven't written about politics in a bit, but I had lunch with my parents this weekend and the topic came up. See, I like Obama. And my parents were/are big "HillCats", as Mom says. Or "HillRaisers", as she screams. They love 'em some Clintons, and I can respect...
