Something not a lot of people watch, but Fallon and I are addicted to Buck's celebrity rants. Today, however, he discussed his expierences on the blog-o-sphere and how unoffensive he finds anti-gay comments. He says the best measure is to just not take them personally.

Hello there, Progressive PRIDE!

In the interest of promoting tolerance towards Gay and Lesbian people, I would like to see us actively blogging about our issues.
