People Who Need (Hot) People
Not sure if I agree with People's choice for sexiest man alive -- the second Adam Levine pic helps, but he's the type who has become less sexy the more you get to "know" him -- but Henry Cavill, Zac Efron and Scott Eastwood are definitely heading in the right direction.

Travail Itinerary
What a difference a few weeks make. From the government shutdown to the Obamacare rollout, Mnahattan Mini Storage may need to alter this campaign a bit. It's certainly true that the always-transparent Republicans are suspiciously concerned and passionate about the 2 percent of Americans whose health insurance premiums will go up as a result of the Affordable Care Act -- as will their level of coverage! -- when they never gave a rat's ass about the 30 million Americans who didn't have health insurance at all , never mind the fact that these people were sticking us with their ER bill. (So much for personal responsibility when it's the president's "idea"!)
What I think is the bigger and less-obvious takeaway here now is something airlines have known forever. When a flight is canceled, you never kick the passengers off the next flight to make room for these displaced travelers. They're already pissed, so you're better off keeping this contained group of angry people waiting -- what's the difference? They're already livid! -- rather than upsetting a new group, and another one after that. Obamacare has probably already helped far more people than it's hurt -- and has the potential to improve the lives of millions and millions more after that, as well as lowering health-care costs for everyone -- yet by breaking the Airline Rule No. 1, all we are hearng about is the new bunch of pissed-off people instead of any of the happy ones.

NYT: Landmark Senate Vote Limits Filibusters
Harry Reid has let Republicans rewrite the Constitution for far too long, but at least he finally did something about it.
NYT reports:
The Senate voted on Thursday to eliminate the use of the filibuster against most presidential nominees, a move that will break the Republican blockade of President Obama’s picks to cabinet posts and the federal judiciary. The change is the most fundamental shift in the way the Senate functions in more than a generation. he vote was one that members of both parties had threatened for the better part of a decade, but had always stopped short of carrying out. This time, with little left of the bipartisan spirit that helped seal compromises on filibuster rule changes in the past, there was no last-minute deal to be struck. The vote was 52 to 48.

Mike Signorile Signs for New Book on Homophobia
Via AP:
Michaelangelo Signorile, the activist, SiriusXM host and popular author, sees many battles ahead for gay rights. Signorile is working on a book for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt that contends homophobia remains as strong as ever despite such recent victories as the Supreme Court striking down a 1996 federal law that banned recognition of same-sex marriages. The publisher announced Thursday that Signorile's new book has the working title "Beyond Tolerance" and is scheduled to be published in 2015. Signorile's previous books include "Queer in America," a best-seller published in 1993. He is considered a pioneer of the movement to out celebrities and other public figures believed to be gay.
