I could use another laundry basket...

Apr 17 Wonker commented on Swan Lake Is So Goddamned Boring.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I saw PNB's Swan Lake a couple of years ago and haven't been back to PNB since. While the dancing was clearly exceptional, I found the show to be boring and about an hour and a half overlong. I knew nothing about ballet, so I assumed that if I didn't like Swan Lake, I wasn't going to like anything. Now perhaps I will go back.

I second TVDinner's sentiments regarding The Death of Artemio Cruz, which I started reading again after my 1-year-old daughter pulled it off the shelf a few days ago.

We would also like to inspect Mr. Sander's Pulitzer because, seriously, that's pretty cool.

Mar 28, 2012 Wonker commented on A Starbucks Boycott Backfires.

Were it not for "news" of the boycott, I probably wouldn't have known that Starbucks is relatively progressive on the issue of marriage equality. So, thank you, NOM. I still won't go out of my way for a cup of burnt coffee, but I'm probably a little less likely to avoid the place now.

Mar 26, 2012 Wonker commented on The U.S. Customs Service Recognizes Gay Families.

You had me with "tax bill." Um... with any luck, marriage equality will be a reality in WA in the near future, so your (then legal) husband will be able to take advantage of the state spousal tax deferral on your estate in excess of $2,000,000. (The first 2 mill isn't even taxed at all, so there's that... chump change, right?). If you're talking about federal taxes, woe is you to be so unlucky as to die with more than $5,000,000 in assets. Of course, I may be a little off on the numbers, but it's certainly not very progressive to whine about a tax that, in any case, only the 1% need to think about.

Sep 21, 2011 Wonker commented on Michele Bachmann Is Totally Fine With You Getting E. Coli.

I would have to curtail my excessive meat-consumption habit if the industry were less regulated, so I guess Bachman's idea would actually benefit me.

Oct 15, 2010 Wonker commented on Gay Federal Employees Can't Purchase—Purchase—Health Coverage For Their Same-Sex Partners Through Their Federal Benefits Program.......

Funny story, but the facts aren't nearly as interesting. The email about pet insurance did not come from a government source. It came from Aetna, who was just trying to sell another product to its customers. The federal government doesn't subsidize pet insurance. Sorry.
