There is literally no stranger feeling in the world than sitting at a Pride parade and having your seventh-grade English teacher come up and say hello.

Slideshow: The Obamas' Greatest PDA Moments
Agree with him or not, Barack Obama is clearly a man who knows he hit the jackpot when he married his wife. Their public displays of affection are cute and sincere, the first such displays that I can remember that aren't creepy at best (Al and Tipper making out on stage, or that lovely word with which John McCain referred to his trophy wife?) Also worth noting is this article on why their relationship is an ancillary reason to vote for him.
Carbon Rally!
" a place where many people could discover and commit to small, positive actions over time. People on the site can propose great ideas for reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and the community would choose the best ideas to pursue as a team. We’d track the collective impacts, and show the power of many people getting the job done together."

Umm, I think we have a mutual friend who might beg to differ. I believe he saw one of his STUDENTS at the pride parade a few years ago…

Ryan, if you’re referring to me, then I have to say that, no, seeing my teacher was weirder than seeing a student about whom I had NO DOUBT.
If you’re referring to the person in the post, and the fact that he DATED a mutual friend of ours,
1) How did you know about that?, and
2) Yeah, that’s pretty effing weird, considering the friend in question graduated from the same high school as me, the same year as me.
