Forget what Michelle Obama was wearing... Let's talk about Aretha's hat for a minute. I personally would have preferred to hear Chain of Fools but somehow I feel that would have been considered inappropriate.




Today, my sociology class was canceled so we could experience some history. I wish I could have been there like Dean Elmore. I'm happy he shared his experience through Twitter.

Don't forget to grab a quart of Legal Sea Food's New England Clam Chowder for $4.44 by January 23! (one quart usually $16.95. Gotta love all these inauguration goodies.)

I am looking forward to four years of some quality blogging by President Obama.

This collection of celebration and reaction around the world is heartwarming.

Straight but supportive: Protesting Proposition 8

On Saturday, November 15th, roughly 7,000 people gathered ouside Boston's City Hall to protest Proposition 8 and support civil rights. I am proud to say that my roommate, Tara, and I were in the crowd.

We were overwhelmed by the amount of people who showed up, despite the threat of bad weather. The protest lasted about three hours. Though we didn't stay for the entire thing, we saw many passionate speakers. Politicians including US Representatives Mike Capuano, Nikki Tsongas and Edward Markey were greeted by deafening cheers and pumping fists.

Protest Proposition 8 in Boston and Nationwide

YOU ARE INVITED

Saturday, November 15th you will find me at City Hall and the Boston Commons protesting for what should be common sense but is sadly difficult for some people to comprehend. They'll be getting a lot of help on Saturday; this protest is nationwide.

Find out where your city is protesting and do something to benefit this world instead of staying in bed until 3 PM eating Pringles and watching re-runs because of your terribly hung over. Grab your sunglasses, make a sign and let's get down to business!

BOSTON INFO

Why: Because it's bad enough only two states legally permit same-sex marriage.
Why else: Because history didn't stop when Obama was elected president.

Where: 1 City Hall Plaza
