Please keep your hands inside the car at all time. Put your trays in the upright position, and remember, all links open in new windows.

Didja miss the support group meeting on ABC’s AMC? (All My Children) Yeah, me too.  ABC is nice enough to podcast that episode. And since they rank the top podcasts of all their shows, wouldn’t it be something to see a TG-themed show reach the top? (In other words: go get it.)
Oh, and you can also get the episodes of Ugly Betty with Rebecca Romijn as transsexual. A TVGuide blogger really liked it.
And finally, I don’t want to out anyone, but…um….in the Valerie Plame hearing, try to tear your eyes away from the lovely spy, and watch the background.Â
