Sports for Girls: A View from the Couch
The Olympics are officially over and all those perfectly sculpted bodies have gone home with their medals. That just leaves you and me standing in front of the mirror flexing our biceps. That view might be interesting for the girl you shared the bed with last night, but for me at least, it lacks a certain gold medal status. For that reason, I’ve got two words for you personal trainer. Preferably, a hot, sexy lady who will bend and stretch you in all the right ways… Someone perhaps like Queen Latifah’s hottie fitness coach Jeanette Jenkins.
TransNation: Lucky Coyote
Folk singing duo Coyote Grace has big news. Like lightning this summer their luck struck twice. It all started when the Indigo Girls asked trans musician Joe Stevens and his partner in life and music Ingrid Elizabeth (aka Coyote Grace) to open their Seattle concert.

Majority of Fortune 500 Companies Provide Sexual Orientation Nondiscrimination
Major corporations are increasingly saying that discrimination based on sexual orientation will not be tolerated in the workplace. According to a new report out from LGBT civil rights organization Equality Forum, 471 (94.2 percent) of the 2008 list of Fortune 500 companies voluntarily include sexual orientation in their employment nondiscrimination policies.

Hypocrite of the Week: Mitt Romney
Former governor and Republican vice-presidential hopeful Mitt Romney thinks Barack Obama’s attempt to make political hay out of Sen. John McCain and his wife Cindy owning eight homes is just plain off-base. And he may be right.
