According to an article from the Associated Press, the last ABC (Audit Bureau of Circulations) numbers show the average daily circulation at 379 newspapers dropped 10.6 percent during the last audit period of April to September of this year.

I became aware of Two Spirits about a year ago when adding categories to my link blog LGBT Rainbow Links.

Aside from being part of our community, the history of Two Spirits goes back before the first Europeans set foot in The New World.

Artlyn Entertainment's LGBT commentary blog FOCUS broke a story late Friday afternoon about GLAAD's YouTube account being suspended for "Copyright Infringement".

The suspension of the YouTube account affects videos GLAAD has on it's website.

How else can you explain the latest Palin fiasco ?

I mean, lady you can't be like some bored housewife (sorry ladies) who decides to drop one project to start another while the family is starving and the clothes aren't washed.
