There’s no better church than the church of the woods. It’s where all the gods live.

I went hiking at Volcanoes National Park last week, and I have to say … hymns and birdsongs sound a lot the same.

Anne Bancroft on meeting Mel Brooks

Well, you know … hope springs eternal in the human heart. But, Mel Brooks sure as hell isn’t a bad consolation prize.

A Milwaukee second-grader recently wrote to Joe Biden with an idea to limit gun violence. “Dear Vice President Biden, I have a great idea to help make our country safer, better and the best,” Myles, a student at Downtown Montessori Academy, proposed. “I think guns should shoot out chocolate bullets. Then no one will get killed and no one will be sad.”

Biden wrote back, endorsing the concept. “I really like your idea,” Biden’s note reads. ”If we had guns that shot chocolate, not only would our country be safer, it would be happier. People love chocolate. You are a good boy.”

Joe Biden: the actual best.

This is why my best friend and I have already decided to be a in a polyamorous relationship with Joe Biden. 

I’m not saying I’d go to that length, but like, I’m pretty passionate about dessert. 

Who is this guy? Why is he so awesome? Why have I not heard of him before? 

I love everything about this, including Aasif Mandvi’s face and the man at the end loving what he does. And that he says, ‘dude or dudette.’ I love everything about this.

From Advocate:

The Minnesota House of Representatives approved a bill legalizing marriage equality Wednesday afternoon by a vote of 75-59, earning “aye” votes from two Republicans. The bill will likely be heard by the full state Senate next week. 

The legislation, House File 1054, provides for marriage between any two adults, but would not require religious institutions or individuals to perform or recognize same-sex marriages.

“In Minnesota, we don’t turn our backs on family,” said out lesbian Rep. and bill sponsor Karen Clark during the three-hour debate, during which supporters and opponents could be heard chanting outside the closed chamber doors. 

Governor Mark Dayton has promised to sign the bill if it reaches his desk

Great news!

Yayayayayayayayayayay!!!

Well, the times - they are a-changing.
