Just back from Las Vegas, where I snapped some gorgeous shots of Red Rock Canyon. I also snapped this:

Where to begin? Maybe with: Does this person even KNOW what Obama has been saying before cheerfully offering "a good cup of shut the hell up"? Likely not.

Also, I wasn't aware Obama ran against Romney.

And: I wonder how much this person could tell me about Romney's brilliant plan for charting a yellow brick road out of Recession Land.

Sometimes I have no point to make other than: what a gorgeous country we live in. I'm grateful for the air pollution regulations that allow us to enjoy it (and to stay alive so we CAN enjoy it). And, I offer you respite from our righteous struggle against the insane: you know, Beck-Bachmann-Bohener? Boneher? I can never remember the spelling...

Enjoy. And stay warm! Spring is just around the corner.

Could a single picture better encapsulate so many aspects of this battle?

What's your Mini Cooper's name?

Okay, I'm about to redefine frivolous on a holiday Monday.

I confess, I love my Mini Cooper.

Here he is looking dapper at the Salton Sea.

Ah, the liberal guilt: yes, I'm contributing to BMW's corporate branding just the same as when I use my Macbook in the Starbucks, and yes, I'm ashamed I didn't buy American (Ford is SO kicking ass!) and I do wish Hans were electric, or better yet, if he ran on hydrogen, I might need to refuel him only once a year instead of only once every two weeks. Driving in Southern California sucked 100% until I bought Hans. Now, I daresay it's fun. Sometimes. Most of the time. I love waving at the other Mini drivers. Usually it's another gay man or a confident liberal woman my age or older. So I figure I must be doing something right.

In April 2009 my father, a world-respected freshwater biologist and longtime resident of Montana, brought me up the North Fork of the Flathead, which forms the western border of Glacier National Park, for some early springtime roughin' it.

This photo was taken near Polebridge, looking north.

I posted this diary the day after I snapped the photo, on the morning of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, but when DKOS went live it nuked all my diaries I'd posted on the Beta version, nuked my groups, and kicked me to the untrusted user curb. Such a nice ~~thank-you~~ fuck-you for faithfully testing out the Beta site.

Anyway, I'm always struck when I visit Arizona: its natural beauty contrasts so starkly with the ugliness of the conservative fascists who run the state. Their corrosiveness gives the state such a bad reputation.

As a resident of Colorado during the boycott in 1992-4 after the passage of anti-gay Amendment 2, I can tell you that any boycott will hurt the people we love more than the people we despise.

We're with you, Arizona Democrats!

WARNING: This is not civil. It's profane. It recalls an early 2000s piece that went viral called "F#ck the South."

Rather than addressing a particular region of the country, however, this piece addresses the violent, frothing lunatics whose entire quasi-movement clawed its way out of the womb only in response to the election of a black Democrat to the presidency.

I don't know if this piece going viral will make any difference so late in the 2010 election game, but if so, make it happen, Kossacks. And enjoy.

UPDATED: Some have suggested I mention Bono Mack's opponent, Bornstein. I am impressed with her and have already voted for her. My complaint is with the DCCC. For some reason, or due to some back room dealings, this district isn't seen as competitive, or worth fighting for.

ORIGINAL POST: California: blue state. Very blue. Even Arnold is about as purple any GOPer this side of the Hudson.

My town? Also blue. Palm Springs boasts a gay mayor, gay people on the city council, and gay people on the school board, and none of them (to my knowledge) are of the insane Log Cabin circular firing squad variety. Sometimes it's difficult to tell, because local elections tend to be superficially nonpartisan, allowing closeted Repugs to vote for things like new super Wal-Marts and other municipal misadventures.

Through it all, our darling congresswoman, Mary Bono Mack, remains unscathed. She even proposed a wilderness bill this past winter. Isn't she green??? If I check my color wheel, that would make her brown (red + green). Or Christmassy.
