I knew Christine Daniels, and considered Christine a friend. She faded out of my life this time last year -- I had no idea why she didn't return my calls or emails.
Well, L.A. Observed is reporting in their piece Mike Penner returns to Los Angeles Times. The gist of the story is that Christine Daniels is retransitioning back to Mike Penner. According to LA Observed's Kevin Roderick, the Los Angeles Times' sports editor Randy Harvey said this:
We're looking forward to Mike's byline appearing in the paper and on the website with increased frequency. He continues to be a valued member of our sports staff.
I expect a lot of reprocussions from this bit of news about Mike -- some headlines I've seen already:
- LA Times Sports Writer Chooses Not to Lop Off Penis; Paper is Thrilled
I already know I'm not going to be thrilled when the conservative "Christian" media gets a hold of this story.
Frankly, I'm overwhelmed...I'm reeling from this news, both from a personal and a professional perspective. I imagine that when my feelings are a bit more settled about this news, I'll write about this from a very personal perspective. I hope Mike won't mind.

And lo and behold, the homo-hate came spilling out. Matt Comer at QNotes:
It's time to put this fossil, who is a member of the House Prayer Caucus, out of his misery elect Larry Kissell, who was narrowly defeated (329 votes) last election cycle. Larry:He said he was trying to draw a distinction on the differences between liberals and conservatives but admitted his comments were not the right way to do it. In addressing his statements at the rally, Hayes attacked LGBT families.
"As a conservative, I fight for lower taxes and policies that strengthen our values," Hayes said in the written statement. "Liberals are advocating higher taxes, which I believe punish success - and they are advocating policies like gay marriage that I feel undermine strong families."
The hard working families of the 8th District and our nation deserve a commitment to education, economic opportunity, civil rights, personal freedoms and the safe, clean environment that we all want for our families.We've had enough of the nonsense from the incumbent aristocracy in DC that has proven they'd rather wedge us apart than bring us together. It's time for an honest debate on Real Family Values.
Via CQ Politics: This is the answer Bible Spice gave to the question of what a Vice President does:
Yesterday, Palin gave an interview to a local news station in Denver in which the anchor, reading a question submitted by a third grader, asked her what the vice president does. Her answer, in this video clip, suggests that she thinks the vice president runs the Senate:
"That's a great question, Brandon. And a vice president has a really great job because not only are they there to support the president's agenda, they're like the team member, the teammate to that president, but also they're in charge of the United State Senate. So if they want to, they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom. And it's a great job, and I look forward to having that job."Talk about expanding the power of the vice presidency. Even Vice President Dick Cheney never claimed to be in charge of the Senate.
It's hard to tell whether Palin just used a poor choice of words to describe what the vice president actually does in the Senate - presiding and breaking tie votes - or whether she really believes the vice president runs the place...
...Palin's comments were a bit puzzling to Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, the man who actually sets the agenda for the Senate.
"Governor Palin needs to re-read - or perhaps read for the first time - the Constitution," said Reid spokesman Jim Manley. "While the Vice President presides over the Senate, he or she is not "in charge of" it. Article I says, 'The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.' The Senate is part of a co-equal branch of the federal government."
Bible Spice doesn't know what the Constitution says what the job of Vice President is -- still? And she's running for this constitutional, national office. By gawd, not only is she not qualified to become President if McCain couldn't complete a four year term, she -- in terms of what most folk learned in Civics or Government classes in middle or high school -- apparently isn't even minimally qualified to hold the job she's running for because she doesn't know what the job is.
But, Bible Spice sure does know how to dress for the job of campaigning for Vice President!
E-f***ing-gads.
