Last night Petra had a meeting to go to, so I contacted a few friends. Karl (friends) and I went to see a movie. Well, first we had some mexican food. Then we went to see Michael Moore‘s new film “Capitalism: A Love Story” (official site). Long-time stevenology readers will know that I love his films. [...]

Earlier this week the struggle for marriage equality lost a battle. Another battle. Proposition 8 was allowed to stand as law. You may remember that about 52% of the voters voted to write discrimination into the state constitution and take away the right for same-sex couples to marry. Now, keep in mind that about 18,000 [...]

We had a double celebration last weekend. First, we have a wonderful new president, Barack Obama. Second, the previous president, George “Dubya” Bush (least popular since Nixon, btw) is finally leaving office! Either of those things would be reason for a party, but both? Be still my beating heart! Yes, yes, yes! So, naturally, we invited 30 or [...]

I never thought I would live to see this day. The first African-American president. That would be amazing enough, but he is a special man apart from that. He is intelligent, thoughtful, and inspirational with a positive vision of hope for America and everyone in it. As I watched the inauguration today I was enormously moved by [...]

President-elect Obama has asked us all to step up to the plate and do something to make this world a better place. He asked us that today, on the Martin Luther King holiday, that we volunteer to do something useful for our community and country. With a mild and appreciated nudge from my wife Petra, [...]

Yeah, baby! It’s the President-Elect. And you all know what big Obama fans we are, having already read this and this. So, really, it’s no big surprise that he showed up at our house to thank us personally for voting for him. Hey, pictures don’t lie! Possible captions for this photo: Barack: “This is better than the White [...]

Yes We Can! The most important thing first: HE WON!! Barack Obama is our next president! News doesn’t get much better than that. After eight years of having a clueless frat-boy and his evil henchman running ruining the country, we finally have an intelligent president who can actually speak well, with real ideas and integrity [...]

Family, friends, and fellow blogaholics – I don’t ask you for a favor very often. But I’m asking for one now. I’m asking you to please vote NO on Proposition 8. Proposition 8 is an unfair ballot proposition that, if passed, will take away the fundamental rights of some personal friends of ours, and lots of [...]

Post-election update: I got most of them right. But Heather Fargo lost to NBA star Kevin Johnson and 52% of the voters wrote discrimination into our constitution by approving Prop 8. That one is very sad. Election day is almost here. Why worry about who or what to vote for? I’ve done the thinking for [...]
