C’mon, You Know You Want to Hear About My Stats
It has come to my attention that some of you are less fascinated than I am by discussions of my blog traffic. If that describes you, I suggest scrolling down past this post.

Gay Republicans Make Their Peace With Palin
This article is a response to gay friends who have taken issue, quite civilly, with my support of John McCain for President.
