Lazy morning in bed with the dogs
Michael sent me this one minute clip of the dogs spending a lazy morning in bed with him.
My favorite part, next to Bruno of course, is Tyler’s face filling the screen at the very end. That’s so much a part of who she is. She doesn’t just “look” at you – she has to be inches from your face when she wants your attention.
Dogs rule.

Minnesota Vikings Chris Kluwe on ELLEN
Marriage equality rock star Chris Kluwe (oh – he’s also punter for the Minnesota Vikings) stopped by to see Ellen DeGeneres today to talk about his letter in defense of Brendon Ayanbadejo, and why there aren’t any out players in the NFL.
Regular readers of The Randy Report know I think Chris is a great, great ally to the LGBT community. He’s a terrific writer and wordsmith; and he has the courage of his convictions to stand up for what he believes. His family must be very, very proud.
If you don’t already, follow Chris on Twitter. Smart, funny, great guy.
Parody ad pokes fun at anti-gay marriage ads
Good As You points up a new parody ad that makes the case for traditional “mammy/daddy marriage”.
“People can do whatever they want. Even weirdos, so long as we agree with them. Unless they’re women. Women always need to be told what to do, even if the issue is medial. And what women should do, is mainly baking. Come on ladies, you can always find an oven in a hospital.”
“Paid for by someone in America who’s never met you but knows what’s best…”
James Franco’s “Interior. Leather Bar.” opens at Sundance
From the YouTube description: The 1980 film Cruising, starring Al Pacino as an undercover cop investigating a murder in the New York City gay, leather, bar scene, was plagued with controversy, and its director was forced by the Motion Picture Association of America to cut 40 minutes of sexually explicit material. Those 40 minutes have never been screened publicly.
Filmmakers James Franco and Travis Mathews set out to reimagine what might have transpired in those lost scenes in this intriguing film about the making of a film.
Opens at Sundance Film Festival this weekend.
Franco is also debuting a new documentary this weekend at Sundance – “Kink” – for which he is the Executive Producer.
Colorado to make another run at civil unions
On Wednesday the Colorado Senate Judiciary Committee will begin hearings on a proposed civil unions bill.
Senate Bill 11 would “authorize any 2 unmarried adults, regardless of gender, to enter into a civil union.”
Last year, the Colorado House failed to vote on a civil union bill before the end of a special session of the legislature.
This legislative session, democrats control the majority in the House and Senate.
House Speaker Mark Ferrandino (D – Denver) says he would like to have a civil unions bill on Governor Hickenlooper’s desk by Valentine’s Day but has acknowledge it may take more time to get the bill through both chambers.
Here’s hoping the majorities in both chambers makes for a smoother run at passing the legislation than last year’s debacle.
