Margaret Cho isn't just a comedienne, and a damn funny one, but she's also an activist -- for progressive politics, for equality under the law for all Americans....I admire Margaret, more than anything, for her unwillingness to step down. To keep fighting even despite all efforts by the Right to shut her down. To use humor to point out the absurdities of the Right Wing and their attempts to impose their "morality" on the rest of the country.

[My new dog] Gudrun is named after the infamous Gudrun Ensslin who was the female leader of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, an art terrorist group from the 70s. Terrorism was different then. It had a chicness to it, which made it seem less like a dangerous menace and more like food fashion.
