I’ve read somewhere that you attend church services regularly or at least you're involved in some way with a religious community, and your presence on tbp feels much to me like a den mother (or is it Mr. Rogers?) concerned with and doting on the feelings of the project's bloggers, but use of an expression like "good Lord" makes me wonder if your religious beliefs are more key in the project's endeavors than one might suspect.

Are you on some sort of religious mission that we don't know about, a seminary graduate, perhaps, or just a midwestern hick (like me) with deep religious convictions (ditto) that should be made a little more explicit before getting so deeply ensconced with participation in and reportage of the presidential political process to the world-at-large LGBT community? Inquiring minds want to know about their reporters' private lives, you know.

By the way, given Obama’s rather bland choice for a running mate, it wouldn’t surprise me if republicans best the democrats with a much more cutting edge choice. Perhaps they’ll choose a woman of color to throw some good bellicose attitude in all our faces. Imagine how media and other pundits would compare her to “Shrillary’s” relatively benign displays of emotion. How would that be for a good little reality check?

Hope you all have a great time!!!! This is one for posterity!

welcome to Denver, kids! Should be an exciting few days. I saw this a.m. That Joe Salomese (sp?) is going to be on a panel about how the bad guys are using wedge politics. Given the whole trans-folk-excluded-from-
ENDA thing, he should know...
