Me too. Also, I'd read the piece this morning -- it's kind of funny.

In JJ Speak (read to the last line):

Turns out [the actor] Eric Christian Olsen not only contributed money [to the Obama campaign], he volunteered in Iowa and California and made hundreds of calls. He also sent out a mass e-mail to his friends that contained these lines: "Nothing is more fundamentally powerful than how I felt when I met him. I stood, my hand embraced in his, and ... I felt something ... something that I can only describe as an overpowering sense of Hope." That's the gayest e-mail I've ever read, and I get notes from guys who've seen me on E!
