If you like George W. Bush, if you are politically conservative, or if you are easily offended stop reading now. Really, I mean it. If you are progressive, if you like our current president, and if you have a good sense of humor keep reading now. If you don’t fit in one of those categories, [...]
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. He [...]
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 so [...]
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!

Barack: “This is better than the White House”
Us: “No, [...]
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 and [...]
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 other people [...]
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 you! [...]
Same-sex couples have been getting married in California for many months now. Over 10,000 couples, in fact. And guess what? The sky didn’t fall, the apocalypse didn’t happen, not even so much as a plague of locusts! It’s harmless! And hey, gay people are people too! In this time filled with so much mistrust and hatred, if [...]
Whether you are a vegetarian or not, most people do not want animals to be mistreated or abused. This measure would help prevent cruelty to animals, improve our health and food safety, support family farmers, protect air and water and safeguard the environment, and is a reasonable and common-sense reform.

Newsweek magazine did a little detective work and found out how many cars John and Cindy McCain have: 13. Yes, you read that right. Some are foreign cars and some are American made, even though he has publicly stated that he only has American vehicles. Barack and Michelle Obama, on the other hand, have just one car, a Ford [...]
Why Obama is better than McCain. Here are some reasons. I’m sure there are plenty more. Stay tuned and remember to Vote for Obama in 08
Obama is pro-choice, like most of the country. McCain is not.
Obama wants a phased withdrawal from our deadly mistake of the Iraq war. McCain is fine with “100 years” in [...]
John McCain (aka McSame, aka Bush 44) thinks you are stupid. That is the only explanation I can figure. He is all over the media with his “Maverick” talk, yapping about how he will bring change to Washington and reform things and shake things up. But NEWS FLASH!!!! It is HIS PARTY that has been running things the [...]
