:: Veterans Day

I'm a little tired of conservatives thinking they're the only ones who have something to say about veterans...

I was also disappointed at how few liberal blogs and outlets were making some space for a weighty tribute to our vets.

Plus, as progressives, we're supposed to be thinking outside the box. So over at Huffington, I asked my fellow liberals for more ways they could think of to support our troops.

And also, learned of this really neat organization and their new PSA. Check it out, in honor of our vets:

:: I Believe Marriage is Love

I'm totally in awe of Keith Olbermann's comments on Prop 8 in California. He's usually a bit crass and loud, but this is heartfelt, honest, and apt.

He points out that if we'd not previously "redefined marriage", our President Elect Barack Obama's parents could not have married in about one third of the states in the US at the time they did.

And guess who were the ones yelling the loudest (i.e. "each with their own kind" ~the bible) and protesting the right of blacks to marry whites as late as 1967? Do I really need to tell you?

"Spread happiness -- this tiny, symbolic symantical grain of happiness."
~Keith Olbermann
