Thanks for the welcomes, guys. It's great to see those names I remember so well. I hope you'll jump back into the fray along with me in 2010.
Best wishes for the holidays -- or what the hell, Merry Xmas!

Ring in Xmas with the Sweeney Sisters
Clang, clang, clang go the Christmas bells! And so it seems like since the holidays last year that I posted here, and I'll say more in upcoming days and weeks about the twists and turns I've taken since my summer break from blogging. The good news (at least I hope you'll see it that way) is ...

MSNBC's Anderson Cooper in drag?
You can get CNN and Fox News in Brazil, but not so MSNBC, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this: Does Rachel Maddow ever acknowledge on-air that she's gay, even when discussing stories about marriage and other gay rights issues? I couldn't help but be struck by Maddow's take last nig...
