Regardless of the bigotry towards the transgender community, transsexuals and the Hispanic community and overall misogyny in the content of this show, the audience agreed it was a downright bad show.

Regardless, ABC affiliates (non-O&O) knew what they were getting with this show. Each affiliate has the choice not to carry a network show. Those that did carry this show have abused our public airwaves to promote hatred and put profits over responsibility to their community.

For the past few days, I have been thinking about the proposal by the Japan National Tourism Office (JNTO) about the "10,000 free flights" program. While I feel that the funding for this program could be better spent on rebuilding infrastructure in Tohoku, I would warn the JNTO to be careful on the groups of people who are selected in this program. There are many of us who have been speaking about and writing on Japan for many years through our own channels of communications. I surely hope that people like us are given the first consideration.

Those who have been following me on Facebook may have noticed I have been very quiet on the whole Chaz Bono situation. There is a reason for that.

There are many in the transgender umbrella community as well as those in the transsexual community who I associate myself with who are thinking that Chaz Bono's appearance on Dancing With The Stars is going to be the greatest thing to advance transsexuals and transgender in America. I disagree.

WFTDA, understand that these days, I have been a staunch critic of the organization lately mainly because the direction of derby has turned. As someone who was raised on the T-birds and who has most of her derby experience in Arizona, which you have to admit has been the test bed for the overall development of the sport in its different varieties, it saddens me to see the "strategies" the game is using right now. The pace is no longer there. The excitement is gone in most cases. Yes, I admit when you get two good teams in there, you will have a nailbiter.

Greetings from Tokyo. Those of you who know me know that I am a lover of many aspects of Japan, especially where it comes to popular culture and for several years, I have been advocating the expansion of DIY roller derby into Japan.

With the forfeit of Dutchland against Gotham for "strategical" purposes, the sport of women's roller derby has sunk to a whole new low and has given the middle finger to the fans.

Noticed this today when reading a story about "Third gender" student housing on the University of Georgia's student newspaper. So, AT&T gives 5-figures to GLAAD to buy their support and then dumps a ton more money indirectly into Chik-Fil-A and their sponsorship of a college football game.

Recently a discussion came up in the Roller Derby PR group on Facebook. This discussion was based around how to get sports writers to take today's DIY roller derby seriously. I offered my advice.

Sell the sport, not the sex.. even at your special events and fundraisers.. this is where a lot of leagues have made the mistake and that's why this is a lifestyle story and not a bona fide sports story.

As a victim of sexual, physical and emotional abuse at the hands of different people, it totally offends me on how people have picked up on this story about the trial of Casey Anthony, the mother of 2-year old Caylee Anthony who was found non-guilty by a jury of her peers in the child's death.

I'm no Scarlet O'Hara with that red hair but this lil' southern belle had a lil' run-in with a couple union soldiers from the north. I stood my ground.

I have been a big fan of the London Underground aka "the tube" all of my life. I have always been interested in the many hidden and unused stations, the use of their unique font on signage and publications and Harry Beck's original 1931 design of the Tube map, which is pretty much still used to this day.

For the price of one 450 minute plan from AT&T, you can mail a box containing two binders containing AT&T's opposition to petitions to deny. Click here to see what's in those binders!
