I’ve been searching for hours to find something to ruminate about, and nothing is coming to me. So here is a list of 10 unrelated thoughts, some serious others not so much. This could be a semi-regular feature depending on the responses.

1. Is it naive to wonder why folk who hate gays and lesbians, actually take the time to write a comment and post it on a gay web site. I really hate Duke University basketball, but would never think of going to a site that celebrates Coach K to say something nasty.

2. I’m liking Beau Breedlove more and more. There’s the name. His Unzipped cover. Now he is judging a penis size contest. Can’t blame a boy for working it.

3. Someone needs to tell RNC chair Michael Steele to stop giving interviews because every time he opens his mouth something kooky comes out.

4. Saw Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ Fox News interview when I was at the gym. His comments about DADT weren’t that surprising. President Obama is not going to use any political capital, without being prompted, when it comes to gay and lesbian issues.

5. Why doesn’t my fat tummy recognize I go to the gym?

6. At work (blogging for you lovely readers is freelance; the day job is another media behemoth) the boss gave me props for doing something extra. I thanked him but I wanted to say, “Man have you looked at the newspapers. An old hack like me isn’t going to find a job in this economy so I’ll do anything to keep this gig.”

7. I’m not getting the whole West Virginia thing. When did that state become the epicenter for same sex marriage?

8. Christopher Smitherman, the Cincinnati NAACP chapter president, warned gays and lesbians about consequences if people kept giving him grief about picking homophobe Chris Finney to be his group’s legal advisor. Smitherman, you are no Michael Corleone. Keep the empty threats to yourself. Really.

9. There is nothing deadlier than conversations on race. Nothing. Okay maybe High School Musical 3 but it’s close.

10. You want to see this again, or should it be a once in a lifetime thing?
