Biggest Day Ever?

A balmy 34 degrees in beautiful downtown Washington DC, 7:15 am, and folks are already gathering outside of the Dept of Interior auditorium.. what ever the space is, for today's Presidential signing of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal bill.

The joys of xm radio we got a lot of info on the way down, Michael Signorile and msmbc, talk of the many, many ( many ) bloggers and activists that were invited to the event today........ I am just sure the k+b was next on the list. A tiny, nothing of a kerfuffle over the signing ceremony not being held at the White House, but this is wing and a prayer legislation.... the White House at Christmas is booked !

Even as the folks there in DC gather in the cold, the militant Christianists are not giving up! Like some doomed Japanese solider on some tiny atoll, 1948.... Just last night MINORITY leader ( and all around DICK of a human being ) Mitch McConnell tried to stick a poison pill amendment into the still not passed military budget that could have put the repeal on hold. New homo hero Senator Lieberman jumped in to save the day...also leader of a known hate group Tony - big loser - Perkins is all over the internets with the good news of the season: He and John McCain will get DADT put back next Congress.. Good luck with that hates... especially, if you are losing one of your mean girl ranks.....





Since we are staying with our Amish friends , the Spencers, right now, we are with out C-span, so will be watching here on line. I will update on this post through out the day. I think what I might do, later on in the day, is just do some cutting and pasting of blogs and facebook accounts of people that I follow, the real in-the-trenches advocates that have been working non stop for years for this day to happen. I'm sure most of you are not all that involved and will enjoy reading some real first hand opinions. With some bigger picture comments from me.....
