Wailin' For Palin.
Reading these comments all I could think of was the youtube video of the drugged out kid: "WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!!?"

Keep up the good work, fuck the haters.
Maybe you should consider farming out some reviews ala Mr. Constant and his Slog book reviews or Mr. Whomever and the happy hour reviews. Besides, it sounds like there are plenty of people out there that would make sooo much better film critics than you and are just dying to rush out and watch the most recent indie/arty/foreign film.

Sullivan: Cut Off the DNC's Money.
Dan:
Writing is involvement? Right, because the first thing the President does every morning is check to see what Dan Savage posted on his fucking blog.
He might, however, pay attention when you got your gay ass arrested out in front of his house. You brought this on yourself. You don't get to say "Hey, lets all get arrested!" in an earnest, honest tone and then retreat to "I'm just a writer" when somebody calls you out on it.
I'm here, in DC, right now. I'd meet you there tomorrow, or the next day, or the next. Only trouble is I'm not gay so I don't think it would have the same effect. If you have something else in mind I could do, let me know.
Your all talk Dan. You traffic in useless (self)righteous indignation flung into cyber space where it dissipates in a matter of hours.
Your a fucking pussy.

Dan:
Put up or shut up. Angrily tapping away on your laptop ain't doing shit. People only take from you what you allow them to take. You do understand that typing the words "civil disobedience" doesn't mean you actually participated in the act, right?
GO. NOW.

Obama Reaches For Low-Hanging Fruit.
Hey Dan, you take all that rage to Washington yet? To Obama's doorstep? Or is that something you were only willing to talk about? As I remember, a whole lot of sloggers were willing to follow you - willing to go to jail even.
Maybe its time to stop bitching and actually fucking act. LEAD even.

Obama Reaches For Low-Hanging Fruit.
With nearly 2 million employees the federal government is far and away the single largest employer in the United States. This rule change will affect people in domestic partenerships in every corner of this country, and some parts in the middle. IT FUCKING MATTERS.
Obama has been in office less than six months and he has already put into place the highest ranking gay official in US history, and now this. That is exactly a fuckload more than ANY OTHER PRESIDENT has EVER done for the LGBT community. EVER.
Like I said before, keep the pressure on. Stay mad. Stay impatient. But take half a second, take a breath and be thankful that this man is in office. Because he may be imperfect and things may not be changing to the degree or at the speed that you'd like but the fact remains that they ARE CHANGING.

Obama Reaches For Some Low-Hanging Fruit.
This is not mollification. This is REAL, TANGIBLE progress. Its historic, it matters.
Impatience is not only understandable, its necessary. But lets not let that stop us from celebrating legitimate progress, no matter how incremental.
