The Good
Judge orders a halt on the enforcement of DADT. Immediately.
The Bad
The Administration plans to appeal. His Rudeness, has this to say about it, and I pretty much agree. (I'm really tempted to Huffington Post this section and leave it there but...I won't.) So, there is the argument that if gay and lesbian soldiers come out then the GOP takes the house and commits their usually douchebagery the soldiers will then be discharged, so really Obama's justice department is protecting the soldiers by appealing the ruling and forcing Congress to repeal the act. Are we conceding or just trying to piss off the base as much as possible?
WTF
Log cabin republicans.

Six Months in the City
It's official (on Monday)! The live-in and I have been in The City for six months! I've decided to commemorate this with, what else, a list! So without further ado or exclamation points I give you:
My Favorite things about Chicago
NO CAR
I hate driving. Paying for parking and gas would only increase said hatred. Public transportation is my dream car!! Only $86/month.
Lincoln Park
Since the arrival of Albus I have been spending even more time at the Park and along the Lakefront. It is the best way to start and end a day: the live-in, our neurotic puppy, and grass underfoot.
Summer
I can't believe it is over. My favorite day of the summer was the 4th of July. Heat, friends, food, drink, hula hoops. That's pretty much my motto.
Winter
Technically I haven't lived in Chicago during winter. But I have commuted during winter, so I know what's coming and I couldn't be more excited. What with the cold and the wind it is like being bitch slapped by God everyday. Cold and refreshing.
Architecture
Best architecture in the United States. My personal favorite is Buckingham fountain. I love the grandeur, it's so French.
Fion
Our neighborhood bar! You can't call somewhere home until they know you at your favorite watering hole. I have had three homes in my life: Naperville (Two Brothers), Eureka (The OP), and Chicago (Fion).
mmm...Food
Hot Doug's. Gaztro Wagon. Chilam Bilam. Smoke Daddy. Sugar Bliss. Flub a Dub Chubs. Green City Market. The Counter. Xoco. Wrigley Field Fries. The Red Rooster. La Creperie. Sunda. India House. E Leaven...It's no mystery I like to eat.
