I always envision a moment like that, and I see myself saying, smart as you please "Mr. President, when are you going to overturn DOMA and the ban on gays in the military?"

But in reality, I'd be a pool of jelly.

Tom:

Do you think Fox News knew they had another gay guy on? Besides the one
thats an analyst I mean. Think their viewers knew?

Back at you Geoff, sometimes I generalize when I am joking and I shouldn't, I think the republicans have done such a good job making all things "God" theirs, my bitterness shows sometimes when I am trying to make biting humor on certain issues .  I just have to keep repeating "Relax....We won, Relax....we won."

And on the Obama Biden Burger encounter.

OH MY GODDDDD!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GODDDDDDD!!!!! OH MY GODDDDD!!!!! Way cool. Ask Eric if he'll post pics here, I would love to see them. I saw that on the news and thought how cool it would have been to be there.

But so many of their anchors already are!

Anecdote: I wrote a Facebook Status about Eric appearing on FOX news -- only to get a comment back from a FOX news anchor in Texas, DEFENDING FOX! 

I'll get the pics of FB and post them here, Jodi.

Very cool! I'm surprised he was able to get such a close, unobstructed view. But he was close enough to tell that the Vice President likes ketchup with his fries!

Thanks for posting, Tom.

Cool, indeed.  :)

And I saw that FOX defensive debate on your SU, Tom.  Felt way beyond the initial humour for me to even enter the fray.

That I did not know!  I know one of their analysts is -- its a relatively open secret, a little less open than McGreevey was, but he's not "out."

Of all the people the president would get a Burger with he picks Biden?  We have got to introduce him to some new people . . . . .

I'm surprised to find you can get a burger for $6.95 in the D.C. area. Have you ever eaten there, Tom?

I wonder if the restaurant owners knew they were coming. Obviously, the press was tipped off, but did the burger joint know?
