Liberace and Edward R. Murrow

Tacit defense of gay marriage, notice how very deftly Liberace chooses his words: Edward R. Murrow: Have you given much thought to getting married and eventually settling down? Liberace: Well, actually I have. Ed. I've given a lot of thought to marriage, but I don't believe in getting married just for the sake of getting married. I want to someday find the perfect mate and settle down to what I hope will be a marriage that will be blessed by faith and will be a lasting union.

Yesterday she launched her blog, Boulder Crecian , so we're both off and running. Check it out! * * * My thinking hasn't been very cohesive the last several days, so my blog has been all photos and background music. Too many distractions, an attention span too short. I meant to file a lawsuit against the United States Congress for abdicating their power to declare war and ceding it to a clearly incompetent president, such a glaring violation of the Constitution. The case is a slam dunk, really...but I had laundry and dishes to do. And since Clinton Proposes Vote to Reverse Authorizing War , I hope there's some progress on the issue without my help. The article says: Mostly, Mrs. Clinton appeared to be trying to claim a new leadership position among the Democratic presidenti
