So, now that it looks like Marty Meehan is definitely gone, what does that mean for "Don't Ask, Don't Tell?" As many readers probably know, Marty Meehan is spearheading the efforts to repeal one of the most vagrant violations of human equality left in the military - the right to serve regardless of sexual orientation. For the first time in a long time, it looked like "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was on its way out. Yet, if this nation loses one of its most important leaders on the effort, I really have no idea what will happen. Anyone care to haphazard a guess?
Let's hope Marty Meehan leaves no left overs when he becomes the Chancellor of UMASS Lowell. As important as that University is - and as admirably I'm sure Meehan will serve there - Don't Ask, Don't Tell is almost as important as marriage rights in terms of glbt equality. Literally over a million gay people have served in the army, yet they were forced to remain in the closet in permanent fear of being dishonorably discharged (or worse). Marty Meehan needs to get the job done before he goes home.

Who is in line to be next chair of the subcommittee? Any hope there?
What you should really blog about is the wheels coming off BMG. Look at the sparks fly!
I think it's more like a one car accident. Talk about Hubris.

It's telling that you spend your time over at BMG and not your own pathetic RMG. RMG doesn't have two sticks to rub together, let alone enough kindling for sparks. LOL!
RMG serves a vital public service -- providing a place for PP, EaBo and the others to whine about how awful liberals are. Now if they would only stay there.
Do either of them have jobs, BTW? They seem to spend all day, every day, cruising the net for liberals to bash (or in PP's case, slights against Mitt).
