    That was fantastic. I love Helen Thomas, and I particularly loved her reaction to the gay marriage question. "Allow? Why should you have the power to allow or deny anything that has nothing to do with you?"

    It reminded me of how I always get pissed off when people say that women were eventually "granted" the right to vote. I would argue that the right wasn't "granted," but, finally, after a long struggle, "acknowledged."

    Same goes here. The right exists; the question is whether people will continue to refuse to recognize it. Maybe that's a semantic question, and maybe I'm not correct from a legal perspective - but it's a peeve anyway.

    Helen is a bad-ass. I couldn't imagine wanting to keep up with the White House shenanigans for as long as she has. Slightly off-topic: My fav prez so far has been Clinton. Now, this doesn't necessarily speak highly of him or his politics. He wins out just because he was the ham between the Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. sandwich. I'm hoping that Obama will turn out to be a prez that I am proud of. 'Cause if you were born in the 80s, you really don't have many options.
