Thanks, Towleroad, for the best headline of my morning.

I'm from a part of the country where joining the military is a very real opportunity for those who don't wish to be farmhands or make less than 30k a year for the rest of their lives.

Louis Sheldon and Andrea Lafferty make some absurd statements in their arguments to keep the mo's out of the mil. I like that they also are concerned about about Drag Queens joining, and (in the same breath) imply that they're the same as transgender folk. All I can think of is the Eddie Izzard bit about Drag Queen Paratroopers.

Who wants to go see the Nats on Opening Day?

I wouldn't mind a little Obama-proximity, a new hat, and an excuse to enjoy a frosty cold adult beverage and a Hebrew National with kraut.

....mmmm....

I've been thinking of you this morning. I found a delicious-seeming Hot Toddy Pudding Cake recipe that seemed like magic.

Then I found these adorable little cheese-and-carrot bento delights.

They seemed very, very Amy.

I fear for the future of my favorite alternative rag.
