jfbIt's Gay Day at the Times! Three different sections have front-page pieces about gay marriage and/or TV. Elisabeth Bumiller in "Week in Review" gives an overview of changing attitudes toward gay people, sex, and marriage. Frank Rich in "Arts & Leisure" notes that "entertainment featuring gays often reveals more confidence in the idealistic notion of marriage than the straight counterparts have," citing an episode of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" where a straight man is instructed on how to propose. And John Weir in "Sunday Styles," reacting to the same show, proudly proclaims that he and all his gay friends are slobs.
Arnold "Commando" Schwarzenegger is too pro-gun-control for his Republican base. He "has expressed support for" abortion rights and gay rights, and, an immigrant himself, may be "soft on immigration". He sponsored California's Proposition 49, which increased public funding for education. And, unlike the leading Democrat, he hasn't endorsed Lieberman. Don't make me vote for this man.
I guess there's always Ariana Huffington, the independent progressive candidate who "is engaging in a stalking campaign" against Arnold.
John Ashcroft wants federal prosecutors to keep tabs on judges who impose sentences more lenient than the Department of Justice requested. You may recall that Ashcroft's idea of an appropriate sentence is usually death.
