mcroft, my fellow fan of all things topless, Saturn is going to make a convertible roadster in 2007!! It's a pretty, pretty car. I didn't get to sit in it but it looks faboo and seems pretty damned powerful. Claimed 0 to 60 was nothing to sneeze at, though I imagine my power-snob brother would sneer at it. Starting MSRP? ~$23K. Yeah, you read that right. Cheap! Hope it's a good car. I'd love to see Saturn have some success.

( Random impressions: )

Thanks to msjudi for alerting me to Ford's decision to promise the AFA that they won't spend any advertising dollars in GLBT publications. Here's the original article in the Detroit News. My protest letter is snug in its envelope.

Before I wrote it, I decided to get to know the AFA. Their target list is a veritable who's who of miscreants (not!), including Reader's Digest (wtf?) and Kraft. Kraft is my new hero; I will be writing them a support letter tomorrow. Specifically, Kraft told the AFA:

"Diversity is more than a word many people like to say. At Kraft we truly respect all kinds of differences. And diversity is not a selective concept. By definition, it’s nothing if not inclusive. We respect diversity of ethnicity, gender, experience, background, personal style and yes, sexual orientation and gender identity. Recognizing, respecting and valuing these differences helps us be a more successful business and a workplace where all employees can realize their full potential."

Holy cow - a company with balls and a strong moral sense. I'll be looking to see how many Kraft products I can buy in the future.

But...what to my wandering eye should appear?

Could it be that the upstanding [sic] folk of the AFA support theft of intellectual property? With a huge dose of "the lady doth protest too much" about the offensive nature of the pics that are posted for illustrative purposes because the Gay Games are inconceivably awful, the AFA has posted 3 photos marked, "www.ChrisGeary.com" A quick peek at Chris Geary's website shows lots of pics of very pretty men having fun rather than some 'born again' penitent's site.

Shocked, I'm shocked to find moral relativism at the AFA.
