Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is dead.
Seriously great news. If you watch the clip, be sure to watch all the way to the end. The ovation for Rep. Murphy is truly astounding. And the closing is one of the most positive and affirming things I’ve heard the president say since the 2004 Red States-Blue States Speech.
In my own life and relationships, there are two things I won’t do: I don’t walk on eggshells, and I don’t lie. In my own small way, I reaffirmed that earlier this very week. And indeed, no one should have to, not to any extent. This, in the immortal words of Vice President Biden, is a Big Fucking Deal.
EDIT: And now the Senate has passed START III. Amazing. Amazing. Incredible. Fantastic. News.
Let’s celebrate our independence, and the return of Common Sense to Washington (however briefly), with a little Prince. ”Could I make you breakfast sometime?” Oh wait.
(Also: TNC is a national treasure.)
…do all the things that only best friends can.
