On joy, and a changed Facebook relationship status

November 7, 2012Russell Saunders 113 Comments

So I’m engaged. Actually, hold that thought.  Before I launch into full-on exultation, I’d just like to say “thank you.”  As sentimental as this will doubtless sound, I took a lot of comfort in the warm wishes and affection of… Continue Reading →

If you happen to live in Maine (or Washington, Maryland or Minnesota)

A little over a week ago, we went to visit the Better Half’s family.  It was one of our niece’s birthday, and all of the various cousins were assembled.  As is his wont, the Critter tore around like a madman… Continue Reading →

Why we’ll win eventually

September 15, 2012Russell Saunders 26 Comments

Like anyone who enjoys good writing from a sensible person, I am looking forward to reading Tod’s dispatch from the “Values Voters Summit.”  With the possible exception of the late David Foster Wallace, I can’t think of another person whose… Continue Reading →

With gratitude

Like essentially everyone not named Krauthammer, I loved the First Lady’s speech on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention.  I thought that it was warm and personal and effective.  It’s probably no great surprise that I liked it,… Continue Reading →

Chicken sandwich, with a side of stupid

August 2, 2012Russell Saunders 53 Comments

I apologize for how I keep going on and on about Chick-fil-A.  I know the whole ordeal is just another tedious way station in the long slog toward marriage equality in this country, and a particularly silly one at that. … Continue Reading →

Let’s not be stupid, redux

*whamwhamwhamwhamwhamwhamwham* Oh, hello.  I didn’t see you there.  I was too busy pounding my head against a wall.  Excuse me if I sit down?  It’s made me a mite woozy. What’s that, you ask?  Why am I beating my head… Continue Reading →

Scratching some names from the guest list

July 24, 2012Russell Saunders 30 Comments

I really like the New York Times.  Really, I do.  It’s generally the second or third site I visit when I sit down for breakfast every morning (after my own wee blog and the LoOG main page, natch), and it’s… Continue Reading →

Now that’s chutzpah

William Saletan has done everyone a solid and debunked the awful, shoddy new study about same-sex parents by Mark Regnerus.  If you’re unfamiliar with the study and have no idea what I’m talking about, best just to move on and… Continue Reading →

Well played, JCPenney

Gawker: In what appears to be a direct response to the failed boycott campaign of anti-gay group One Million Moms, JCPenney yesterday unveiled a new Father’s Day ad featuring a same-sex couple playing with their children. Well, I like that… Continue Reading →

Thank you, Mr. President

May 9, 2012Russell Saunders 1 Comment

I don’t have much more to say than that right now.  I am immensely grateful for your support, and this is the most public way I have of saying so.
