...when every single person used at least one of the following words: activist, conserve, screenwriter, progress, environment, producer or filmmaker. Then I figured we'd be asked to give money for something or hold hands across America, but instead it turned into a weird kind of show-and-tell. A few people gave long presentations, but everyone was given one-minute slots to talk about projects they're working on. Watching liberals try to explain something in one minute might be the best game show I've ever seen. I asked Wyatt Closs, from the Service Employees International Union...

Nunn has never repudiated his tactics, and although he recently said that the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy should be reevaluated, he has not said whether he personally opposes it. (Which is why activists have told the Obama campaign that picking Nunn would cause problems with gay fund raising.) For his part, Obama has long said he would repeal the policy, but he has not said how or when he would do so. Because the law gives the Secretary of Defense the sole power to devise the "procedures" under which homosexual conduct or statements are discovered, a President...
