A Modest ProCHOsal

Mary and Heather are gonna have a baby. Next month.

Have you ever had baby on the brain? This is usually not a good thing, as most organisms with ovaries can attest, because the mind can plant seeds as effectively as any sperm-bearing organism can, and I have already done my part in the baby bearing department, but I digress -- which does not change the fact that I have had baby on the brain. Specifically lesbian baby.

Early this morning I had a vision. Veep daughter Mary CHeney and life partner Heather POe should name their baby (due next month) "Cho."

This vision miraculously reappeared in my mind's eye when I opened my e-mail to find that the very excellent Jennifer Chrisler from Family Pride ("national nonprofit organization committed to securing family equality for" GLBT, etc.) had released this statement.

Dick needs to get on the stick and represent. Dick.
