Singing For Health Care Reform
(Full disclosure: The group that organized the protest is one I work with on my job.) This is something I wish I’d been a part of, and I hope they call me if they need an extra baritone next time. (It’s rare that my vocal training and my politics intersect.) Plus, the guy who got “punk’d” was none other than Bill McInturff , the guy who gave us Harry and Louise . (Not to mention killing health care reform and giving us another decade of pre-existing conditions, recissions, etc.) R
This whole episode should count as community service and as another example of why I shouldn’t be allowed to mix with famous people.
The day before yesterday I got invited as a “member of the media” to go to a Planned Parenthood thingie. I think it was a fund-raiser or a plan to picket them or something. I don’t know. I wasn’t really paying attention to that part because all I really wanted to do was meet Joan Walsh , Editor-in-Chief of Salon.com , and they said if I showed up I could go to a special blogger/media chat afterward with her.

Old enough to ask for it, and other things I really didn’t know about myself
The whole co-sleeping family thing really used to freak me out. Seriously, sometimes I barely know myself. Like breastfeeding, for instance.
