I have been told by high level Republicans in Indianapolis that the Daniels Administration took the Major Moves Funds, PERF, & Teachers Retirement Fund and combined those funds (billions of dollars together) and then invested them into the stock...

I wanted to be sure HuffPo readers saw my post on The Bilerico Project about the Great Bilerico Soap Drive! One of our readers is a lesbian deployed to Afghanistan. She (and her unit) need some soap!

We've teamed up with Just Bubbly handmade soap to ship the engineering unit...

Wow. Sarah Palin. Hurricane Gustav. Mitt Romney. The Republican convention. Tom Ridge. The plane circling LA with a broken wheel. John McCain.

They're all scary and they've all dominated the news lately. I need a silly break. I need something to giggle at for a minute or two while my...

Let's put Sarah Palin's executive experience in perspective, shall we?

The "Evan Bayh will be Vice-President" meme is running rampant here in Indiana with more and more tips and leaks and rumors spreading like wildfire. Let's catch up on all the latest gossip about the possible nomination.

First there was the phone call I got about an unannounced...

The Obama campaign released a new television ad yesterday that will be playing heavily in Indiana. In my opinion, this is the best ad yet.

Well, you win some and you lose some. I lost. My parents always told me, "If you're going to do it, do it big." I did and I lost. Someone pass me a plate, I've got some crow to eat.

Barack Obama did not choose Evan Bayh as his...

NOTE: I originally published this on my home blog, The Bilerico Project. I'll keep updating the story over there as more tips come in.

I'm going to put my neck out on the line by making a prediction. Barack Obama will...

Since we started Bilerico Project, my icon picture has stayed the same. It's me and my little buddy, Fritz. Fritz is a rat terrier and he's 16 now. Fritz and I have lived together longer than any other relationship in my life - including my parents.

I've been blogging repeatedly about the overwhelming crime problem plaguing my neighborhood. When our car was stolen or when the windows were smashed out, I knew crime was up all across the city. After having a gun stuck in my face on the front porch and a homicide...

I've been around a lot of politicians in my day. Whether City Councilors, County officials, state legislators or Congress members, there are some basic rules that transcend the status of the office when it comes to gay rights.

After spending time at the Indiana Democratic State Convention last weekend hobnobbing...

As reported by Alex Blaze on The Bilerico Project, William Bolthouse, founder and 43% owner of Bolthouse Farms, a farm in California that provides organic juices, lemonades, and smoothies to places like Whole Foods and other organic market places, has just recently given a donation of $100,000 to...

I started to document some of my notes from the Stonewall Democrats caucus at the Indiana State Democratic Convention on Saturday while I was waiting on gubernatorial candidate Jill Long Thompson to arrive, but wasn't able to finish before she arrived and the regular convention started.

Long Thompson arrived...

Sometimes, when you're in the middle of a long task and the end is nowhere in sight, it feels as if you haven't accomplished anything. You want to give up -- or at least slack off -- because there is no feeling of accomplishment. It's the reason good managers set...

I'll just come right out and say it. After all, coming out is good for queers.

I owe Andy Towle an apology.

When I wrote my post about DNC credentials, I used Andy's blog, Towleroad, as my example. I was angry at the DNC for slighting us, but...

The list of credentialed blogs to cover the Democratic National Convention was released this evening and Bilerico Project was denied credentials. Contributor Pam Spaulding's home blog, Pam's House Blend, was one of two gay blogs issued credentials. The other blog? Towleroad.

Towleroad is not known for...

Not everyone celebrating California's marriage equality ruling are gay lovers dying to tie the knot. Even Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says that the ruling will help to boost the state's economy as gays and lesbians flock to California to get hitched.
