i am the laziest person on the planet.

No, seriously. They should study me in a lab or something. It's incredible.

I had a lovely day yesterday with bexatious and leftofcenternyc -- we went to a street fair sponsored by the Tribeca Film Festival, then walked over the Brooklyn Bridge and had yummy pizza and homemade ice cream in Brooklyn. Represent, yo. Weather could not possibly have been better. God, I love May in the city.

Last night I did manage to see Bradley on Real Time with Bill Maher (although kradical, I would still very much love a DVD of it if that's okay). You know, as much as I loved the funny, and the sex talk (especially the butt plug comment which will now live in infamy), I think my favorite part was when he seriously and thoughtfully confronted Republican governor guy about the disconnect between "pro-life" and the death penalty and essentially took over the show. The audience was eating out of his hand and it was like Bill wasn't even there for a minute. Just fantastic. God I love him.

Speaking of Brad, this week he is on the MSNBC It List. If you love me you will go raise his ranking.

Today was supposed to be spent vigorously cleaning my apartment in anticipation of visitors next weekend. Instead, I managed to watch the three most recent Doctor Who episodes (Ten, not Nine). ( Some thoughts here. )

For anyone who hasn't read it yet, the greatest West Wing fic ever can be found here. Republicans accidentally unleash zombies upon the world. Sam pilots a chopper and CJ has a hockey stick. Just take my word for it and go read.

In contrast, the most frightening article ever appeared in today's New York Times: Contra Contraception. Examines how factions of the right are focusing their efforts on contraception in addition to abortion. Includes this gem:

"Sexual union in marriage ought to be a complete giving of each spouse to the other, and when fertility (or potential fertility) is deliberately excluded from that giving I am convinced that something valuable is lost. A husband will sometimes begin to see his wife as an object of sexual pleasure who should always be available for gratification." -- Dr. Joseph B. Stanford, appointed by President Bush in 2002 to the F.D.A.'s Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee [Boy, do I feel sorry for HIS wife!]

and this:

"Meanwhile a government report later found that Dr. Janet Woodcock, deputy commissioner for operations at the F.D.A., had also expressed a fear that making [Plan B] available over the counter could lead to 'extreme promiscuous behaviors such as the medication taking on an 'urban legend' status that would lead adolescents to form sex-based cults centered around the use of Plan B.'"

Our government at work, ladies and gentlemen. God, it just makes me want to go out and have lots of dirty dirty sex. I should do something about that, before they decide that clitoridectomies are the next way to go.

And on that happy note, I should go wash some dishes or something. After all, my place is in the kitchen, right?

Well, that was 100% better, wasn't it?
