All hail the man in black

I thought Sean Penn was AMAZING in Milk, so I'm delighted he got the oscar and he scores extra kudos for his acceptance speech.



On the subject of gay rights there were a bunch of people on Pat Kenny this morning going over the up and coming lame - ass Civil Partnership Bill which serves if nothing else as an opportunity , to borrow from Penns speech for Irish people to "sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame..." We really are a backward homophobic bunch as a whole. As Sean said, we've got to have equal rights for everyone.
