In which we go to L.A. for a long weekend, and I have to pry friends and family off the lil’ brudder with a spatula and a can of DW-40.

    That look is to die for.

    And she’s all pretty and dressed up and pink.

    But it’s baby baby baby.

    Fortunately she’s at the age when hitting the bottle is still an acceptable response, I guess.

    So adorable — and I am a big fan of the guitar pants!

    Nothing beats the blues like a slug of yogurt-juice drink.

    And Liza: you’re tellin’ me. We are firmly positioned downstream from these people for the hand-me-downs. The monkey’s shirt, though — a toddler version of Code Pink: Women for Peace — was a gift from my Sister in Struggle in NOLA, who also gave us a “Future Feminist” t-shirt (from the Nat’l Women’s Studies Ass’n), and another fabu message T. My advice to all: wait to spawn until your friends and family have done so first, then sit back and wait for the bounty to flow your way. If the guitar pants haven’t been spoken for, I’ll see if I can’t snag ‘em for Noah!

    Ellen DeGeneres: "My Political Point... And I Do Have One," on 24 Sept., 2008 at her site.
    The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It’s like if someone asked you, “You don’t want dessert, right?” But you do want dessert so you say, “Yes,” which really means you don’t want dessert. And if you say, “No,” which means you do want dessert -- it sounds like you don’t. Either way, you don’t get what you want. See -- confusing. Just like Prop. 8.



    So, in case I haven’t made myself clear, I’m FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right -- please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you’re informed, spread the word. I’m begging you. I can’t return the wedding gifts -- I love my new toaster.
    For those that missed it, here Ellen is chatting with McCain (2 Sept., 2008) on the topic of gay marriage.
