And he's the one candidate that I'm absolutely certain is gay-friendly, regardless of whatever story he may be telling right wing conservatives at the moment.

Also doesn't the fact that he supports torture bother you? Especially since his record in NYC indicates that he means it?

t Edited to make both Brenda and me look crazy.

That was Romney.

YOu are right. Should not post from memory. But he does support torture

Specifically asked about waterboarding, Giuliani said he would allow “every method [interrogators] could think of and I would support them in doing it.” Tancredo later added, “I’m looking for Jack Bauer,” referencing the television character who has used torture techniques such as suffocation and electrocution on prisoners.

Most of the Republican candidates for president support torture.

{{Dana}} Damn, what a tough case to sit on. Makes me grateful my one and only time was a goofy civil case. We don't get called often. Twice in 27 years here. I got a certificate of thanks thing. Still have it.

Ooh, I call bullshit on this L&O: SVU episode I'm watching. Munch is doing a whole monologue about when he was a teenager on the Lower East Side. He's from Baltimore! There was a Homicide ep about a girl he loved in high school! Again, I wonder why I care more about this than the people who work on the show(s).

Hmm. I also remember a L&O crossover where he discovered Jerry Orbach was dating one of his ex-wives, which sort of implies he was in NY at some point. Where's erika?

Well, the ex-wife could have moved, easier than he could have grown up in two places.

I'm not sure why it surprised me, but he was African American. I generally attribute that sort of thing to skinheads for some reason.

Heh. Yeah, no, black people are incredibly not immune. It's...well, it's not common, but I've probably heard more black people talk like that than white--perhaps because the white people in question don't want to converse with me much.

Dana, you did your duty. It sounds wrecking, but needed.

msbelle, I'll check. I figured opened was tainted, but I'm good with giving it to whoever. Since throwing it away patently didn't work.

Called back guy who might want to date me that I don't want to date, although...it sounds like the classic nice guy brushoff, but he is nice. And I have migraines. Went straight to voicemail--I'd say that's good, but it took me forever to return the call, so I am the bad guy.

I have a diatribe about the thoughtlessly privileged welling in me. Understanding of course that I am just that to some people. Mostly I'm just hating the other shoppers in the Westwood WholeFoods--if I'm thinking the Bristol Farms down the street has more down to earth people, something's terribly wrong.

Allyson, I've been talking up your book to two of the instructors who work in TV. One's an executive producer and the other...I'm not sure exactly what he does now, but he's trying to get a gig doing the MTV web site. They think it's mega cool. They don't know about the subtitle, but I think it'll be okay.
