About Those “GetEQUAL” Comments

I’ve been getting quite a few emails complaining that someone purporting to represent GetEQUAL has been spamming the JMG comments with requests for donations. Last night I’m grumbled about it on Facebook, after which GetEQUAL’s Robin McGehee immediately called to let me know that they are NOT behind these donation requests, which have been appearing across the LGBT blogosphere. As …

JMG Wins Village Voice 2010 Web Award For “Best Political Blog”

Last night I attended the Village Voice 2010 Web Awards where JMG was awarded Best Political Blog! I was asked not to blog about it until after the event and I don’t even know who my competitors were, but whatevs! The downtown Manhattan awards show was a hipster mosh-pit and didn’t feel very gay at all, but lots of folks …

JMG Thanks Reader Dave Evans!

As a very active week on JMG comes to a close (almost 200 posts!), I’d like to take a moment to thank reader Dave Evans of Cleveland, who via his video news clipping work provides us with many breaking items of LGBT interest. Dave scours the cable outlets and chat shows for relevant items and often has them posted to …

Tweet Of The Day II

DISCLAIMER: While my mole in the SF courthouse did allow me to scoop everybody by 20 minutes or so, it was not until at least ten minutes later did I learn that the lift order doesn’t go into effect until Wednesday. I quickly updated my posts here and on Facebook and Twitter, but I must apologize to everybody for my …

Netroots Nation: Friday Recap

I started the day early at a breakfast with openly gay Palm Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet, who is running for Congress against Rep. Mary Bono-Mack. (I’ll post my Q&A with Pougnet a bit later.) Then it was off to the grand hall to catch the tail-end of Van Jones‘ brilliant morning keynote. After that was the “Organizing For Equality in …

#LGBTNN10: Continued….

We continue to be plagued with spotty and slow internet access here at Netroots Nation, much to the anguish of digital activists and writers who came prepared to tweet, Facebook, and live-blog every waking moment. You can still follow the action at the Twitter hashtags #NN10 and #LGBTNN10, where attendees with smartphones are providing minute-by-minute coverage.

Afternoon View – Vegas Strip

I’ve arrived for Netroots Nation 2010, which is being held at the Harrah’s Rio All-Suites, where interestingly, I do not have a suite. I would have been able to check in an hour ago, but the capacity of the airport shuttles were severely restricted by the number of Larks onboard each one. What happens in Vegas…gets blogged.

Major Democratic players tend to show up, …

Daily Kos Denounces Polling Partner

Markos Moulitsas, founder of the progressive blogging powerhouse Daily Kos, has issued a quite scathing denouncement of his site’s longtime polling partner Research 2000, alleging unspecified skullduggery in their methods. Research 2000 polling results were heavily cited across the blogosphere (including here) during the 2008 elections and beyond. We contracted with Research 2000 to conduct polling and to provide us …

Email Of The Day

“I’m really fucking sick of you blogging about Canadian LGBTQ issues when as a NON-Canadian you are usually talking out of your ass. Maybe when Americans get halfway to where we are on gay rights, then you can talk. It’s not like you can’t fill your blog with all the problems queers have in your own country and have to …

Daily Grumble

Seven months later, Miss Ladyfingers USA still dominates the search terms that bring outsiders to JMG. And to think I once complained because the top item was “bacon explosion.” Anyhow, it’s a good list to look at anytime I get feeling all fancy pants.

NYT Takes Over Nate Silver

The New York Times has taken over hosting of FiveThirtyEight, the popular elections prognostication site run by statistics guru Nate Silver. Mr. Silver, a statistical wizard, became a media star during the last presidential election season for his political projections based on dissections of polling data. He retains all rights to FiveThirtyEight and will continue to run it himself, but …
