Lesbian judge in Detroit

Judith Levy has been confirmed to be a judge in a US District Court. This notable for three reasons. She is an out lesbian, the Senate confirmation vote was 97-0, and she is appointed to the same courthouse in Detroit that just heard the gay marriage and adoption case.



David Mixner asks us to appreciate the courage of Jack Conway. He is the Attorney General of Kentucky and has declined to defend the ban on same-sex marriage there. This could end Conway's political career, at least in Kentucky. So, yes, a rare breed -- a politician with courage.



Now that lots of photos are uploaded into photo-sharing sites and are tagged (sometimes with the street address) it is possible to create maps of the most photographed locations. The top sites in North America are NYC (most photographed in the world), Niagara, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington DC, Las Vegas, Boston, Montreal, Vancouver, and Ottawa. But Europe as a whole is much more photogenic than America. If you really wanted to you could zoom in on Michigan where Detroit leads the state but is 1059th overall.


The previous post, published just a few moments ago, is post 2500 for this blog. I managed that in 6 and 1/3 years.
