Actually if you bother to read the science, the group that’s most immune to HIV transmission is gay.  That is, gay women.  There’s a stronger correlation between HIV and the number of men in a sexual relationship than between HIV and being gay.  So do you *really* want to have a conversation about HIV risk making relationships more or less legitimate?  Suddenly I bet you don’t, Mr. State Senator.

Stop saying trash about queer men and we won’t send recruiting parties around telling women that sleeping with men is dangerous and they should hook up with ladies.  Deal?

Biggest financial reform bill in decades and what is on the front page of Google News?

White House sees a rat, but scientists say visitor is a vole

San Diego Union Tribune - ‎56 minutes ago‎ By AP AP A vole, a small rodent, runs in front of President Barack Obama as he delivers remarks on Wall Street and Financial reform, Thursday, May 20, 2010, in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington.

Thanks Associated Press, for showing us the type of detailed reporting we can expect from a professional newsroom. The continuing impacts of change on newspapers is going to have a great impact on this type of information.

I think my favorite part is how the article never mentions financial reform except in the context of what the vole was interrupting.

Now that’s an edge case they hadn’t planned on.

I wonder what happens when he eventually takes (took?) the test and gets a question “wrong.”  Do they have to re-write the question?

This was always sweet in Sim City.
