Breaking News of the Day: Obama Backs Gay Marriage: [UPDATED] President Obama has publicly announced his support for gay marriage in an interview today with Robin Roberts.
I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or Marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.
Obama, who is the first U.S. president to openly back gay marriage, had come under fire this week for remaining mum on the subject after Joe Biden and Arne Duncan publicly declared their support. The president’s announcement comes a day after North Carolina voted in favor of a constitutional amendment that bans marriage equality.
Obama’s interview will appear on ABC’s Good Morning America on Thursday. Excerpts will air tonight on ABC’s World News with Diane Sawyer.

Flashmob of the Day: A flashmob invaded a Copenhagen, Denmark Metro train last month, but in this case, the flashmob was the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra.
They treated unsuspecting commuters to a performance of Grieg’s “Peer Gynt,” and creative agency Makropol captured the whole thing on video.
Right about now, a few people on that train are probably wishing they had taken their earbuds out.

damn, look at the time
So after seeing this picture on Reddit, I’ve decided that, other than George Clooney, the only man over fifty that I’d make love to is Alec Baldwin. I know he’s young here, but he’s pretty attractive now, too. Granted you have to be “into that” to some extent to appreciate what I’m saying. But let’s look at the facts. Break it down!
- Fantastic AND versatile actor! Think he’s a one trick pony? Wrong! 30 Rock! The Good Sheperd! It’s Complicated! More examples!
- He’s hosted SNL, SIXTEEN TIMES. Although I don’t really know what weight that has anymore, SNL kind of sucks. Sorry guys. I know it hurts more coming from me.
- A full head of hair. Come on.
- Those piercing blue eyes!
- Six feet! Tall. Not feet like pediatrists, feet like the measurement. He has two foots.
There it is. Why, when you get the opportunity, you should have sex with Alec Baldwin. He’s still in great shape, I’m sure. The only downside is his daughter, who’s like sixteen, and I’d feel weird. I don’t think George Clooney has a daughter. He doesn’t! No kids! A girlfriend though… whatever, the chances are already so small that his being in a relationship probably doesn’t hurt me significantly. Oh George. This started about Alec Baldwin, but in the end, it always comes back to you. I’ll be here waiting.

African Stereotype of the Day: Gabriel, Benard, Brian, and Derrik, who live in Kenya, were inspired to poke fun at the way African men are portrayed by Hollywood: “If people believed only what they saw in movies,” they said, “they would think we are all warlords who love violence.” Mama Hope — an organization that partners with African organizations to help transform their communities — was more than happy to hand them a mic as part of a video campaign to “Stop the Pity, Unlock the Potential.”
Good stuff.
