And by "croaky" I do mean my lazy ass.

The Emmy nominations came out yesterday.Lots of extremely pleasant surprises! "True Blood" for best drama! Chris Colfer for "Glee"*! Mike O'Malley for "Glee"! Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler (aka THE TAYLORS BOW DOWN BITCHES) for "Friday Night Lights"! John Slattery for "Mad Men"! Christina Hendricks for "Mad Men"!
Also not-so-pleasant issues: January Jones was nominated for being useless on "Mad Men", "Community" didn't get a single nomination (and even I, from the little I saw, knew that there was Emmy-worthy material there), ASkars and Nelsan Ellis weren't nominated (despite the fact they are currently the undisputed MVPs of "True Blood").
And in a fantastic show of "FUCK YOU" to Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien's "Tonight Show" got four nominations, while his got none.
* - Colfer was nominated in the comedy category, which, YIKES. His role was one of the most dramatic supporting roles this season. He'll never win until he gets nominated in the category he should be in.

The Federal District Court of Massachusetts ruled DoMA to be unconstitutional.And not a minute too soon, you guys. Not a minute too soon. Here's hoping Obama won't barter a Justice Department appeal for something.

Fun little article about this golden age of late night comedy and political satire.It makes good points too. Someone has to be the sane polar of Fox News, after all. For me, it goes hand-in-hand with
the AWESOME comeback of 'Even Stepvhen' this week on The Colbert Report. :)
And now, your moment of Zen: Here's what happens when ASkars gets SLOSHED.
