White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs got into a heated discussion with April Ryan, of American Urban Radio yesterday. Ryan was questioning Gibbs about those stupid annoying party crashers and the role that the White House social secretary played at the party. He got annoyed and belittled her. She shot back.
He made a good point at the end, stating that they should get back to more important things, "like 98,000 men and women in Afghanistan" True, but I think they use the war as an excuse when they don't want to talk about a subject.
"How did those party crashers get into the White House?!"
"Why are we talking about this, there's a war going on!"
"Why is the President keeping Bernanke on?"
"Why are we talking about this, there's a war going on!"
"Will sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan speed up the completion of our mission there?"
"Why are we talking about this, ther.....oh..."

Campbell elects first gay, Asian-American mayor!
Yes, my sleepy little hometown, Campbell, California has elected a new mayor. The Campbell City Council elected Evan Low to be Campbell's newest mayor in a Tuesday night vote. He is 26, Asian-American, and gay.
Low grew up in San Jose, but moved to Campbell eight years ago. He ran for city council unsuccessfuly in 2004, but won a seat in 2006. He says he never considered moving to a larger, more gay friendly city such as San Francisco. "For me, it's about making a difference in the community I live in." he said in an interview "Campbell is my home".
He's taking a grass roots approach to increasing the tolerance level in this country. Don't get me wrong, it's great that we have Gavin "It's gonna happen, like it or not" Newsom in San Francisco, but IT'S SAN FRANCISCO. Although I appreciate his preaching to the choir, it's time to raise the awareness level in smaller towns such as Campbell. This is a small, quiet step in the right direction.
Congratulations Mr. Mayor!
