A Cry for Help

Hey everyone! Miss us? We’re back, getting in around 2am last night. The trip was a rain delay away from almost perfect. We took about 300 pictures and there’ll be plenty of Cry for Helps this week, once we get settled. I had 360 emails waiting which I am sorting through now (we only had [...]

Greetings from St. Louis! Or should I say the wet, baseball-less Gateway to the West. After a nasty nasty storm swept across the area this afternoon, the Cardinals game we were due to see was rained out, to be played in August or something. So that sucks big time. We’re due in Cincinnati tomorrow night [...]

Starting tomorrow:

Monday - Tuesday: St Louis
Wednesday - Thursday: Cincinnati
Friday: Detroit
Saturday - Sunday: Cleveland
Now you can follow along at home!!

Where has Bil been lately, you ask? Over the past few days, many, including myself have made the journey down to the hot & humid city of New Orleans for his long-awaited and glorious Tulane graduation ceremony! Since Bil is definitely leaving New Orleans this time, his family decided to come down one [...]

Not the Iraq war front (it’s probably to the benefit of my mental health that I don’t personally know anyone fighting this time around), but the same-sex marriage culture war front. The news is good.
Fellow Rhode Islander David Grenier made the trip to Cambridge Sunday night/Monday morning in a beautiful, if logistically ill-conceived, gesture that [...]

Since I don’t have one of those “Recent Comments” lists on this site (damnable design rigidity!), new comments on old entries never get seen by anyone except me, because I get an email when a comment is left.
I’ve gotten a few lately, so I wanted to point them out to the rest of you guys. [...]

Ready for some mind-blowing conspiracy theorizing? kuro5hin.org has a post with 50 Fishy Circumstances, Contradictory Claims, and Videotape Anomalies in Nick Berg’s Killing. There’s some weird stuff going on with this story, so take a look at the list (and the debunkings in the comments).
The “wag the dog” idea is especially intriguing. However, you [...]

…along with Massachusetts.
Says the ProJo: Rhode Island Attorney General Patrick Lynch said today that he sees nothing preventing Rhode Island from recognizing same-sex marriages performed in Massachusetts but suggested that lawmakers and the courts would ultimately decide that question.
Awesome.
Does this officially make us the second state in the union where gays and lesbians can be [...]

Has anyone seen this? what do you think?

Tomorrow’s the day gay couples in Massachusetts can legally obtain marriage licenses. Some couples from the original Goodridge case that opened the door to issuing the licenses plan on getting married tomorrow, but most will have to wait at least three days. Same-sex marriage opponents will have to wait a lot longer before a vote [...]

Well, as often happens near the end of a semester, I’ve lost another weekend to an awful hangover. I still feel like crap, but I don’t like to abandon A Cry for Help for more than a couple days (even though I am notoriously bad with weekend posting), so here’s a couple links I have [...]

I don’t usually like two sentence blog entries with a link and a joke, but I really had to post this one, just to use what will surely be the most overused punchline by anyone who reads this story:
Can you hear me NOW MOTHERFUCKER!?!
