Our delightful new Miss California is insisting on continuing her affiliation with the National Organization for Marriage (NOM). This will make me sound catty, but good luck sweetie getting one of my tribe to fix that hair, apply that makeup and pick attractive clothing for you from now on!
North Carolina Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R) had some . . . well, the kindest way to put it is "ill informed" . . . words about the pending federal hate crimes bill (which passed the House today). Read the explanation from Foxx herself and, if you must throw something, make it something soft and safely stow away your fine breakables first.
I just cannot fathom this -- a Representative who chooses to cite skewed news "reports" about the crimes committed against Matthew Shepard instead of just . . . reading . . the . . . freakin' . . COURT TRANSCRIPTS!! She could have found any number of other reputable sources and may have even had a good argument against passing the bill. I have no problem with a solid, well-sourced conservative/right-wing point of view -- it's such a shame that so often the arguments formed by right-wing mouthpieces are no better than a gaggle of hausfraus spinning gossip at the laundromat.

The new "Star Trek" movie had its premiere at Graumann's Chinese Theatre tonight. I snapped a few pics before the festivities begun. Hollywod Blvd was closed down all day today and the photo/interview section plus bleachers were set up right in the middle of the boulevard in front of the Theatre (it's part of the reasons the photos are as close up as they are).
Sadly, I had to make my way home and could not stay long enough to check out the stars. Still, it is not often that a studio hires a DJ to spin vinyl prior to the arrivals. I hope the movie is nearly as good as the hype!
