Rick Warren News/Daft Punk’s Commemoration of Obama

Unbelievably I just found out today Rev. Warren will be swearing in Mr. Obama next week. I’m reasonably au fait with the minister, including his opposition to same-sex couples; but I’m pleased he will not be making nods to a distinct creed. As Edward Bloom stated, “It’s not polite to talk about religion, because you never know who you’re gonna offend.” Even in America. Even at the presidential inauguration.

Daft Punk vs. Adam Freeland:

The following is a mixed-media stop motion music video and celebration commemorating the election and inauguration of Barack Obama as the forty-fourth president of these United States. Audibly showcasing Adam Freeland’s remix of Daft Punk’s “Aerodynamic”.

Gay but Equal?

A very well-wrought article by Mary Frances Berry in the New York Times canvasses the idea of a new commission that “would address the rights of many groups, including gays.” It’s true that the Commission on Civil Rights has divagated from an independent acumen to a self-appointed presidential agency. I’ve speculated this for years but I’m no political genius. The crux of the matter is that gay and lesbian peoples deserve a nod from President-elect Obama in the forthcoming months or years.

Mrs. Berry, the chairwoman of the Commission on Civil Rights from 1993 to 2004, is the author of “And Justice for All: The United States Commission on Civil Rights and the Continuing Struggle for Freedom in America.”
