I forwarded a link to my post on Maggie Gallagher’s interview with NPR to the contact e-mail provided on the National Organization for Marriage.  In the e-mail I asked if they had any comment on the apparent disconnect between their mission of keeping civil rights from a minority group and their claims that they are […]

I was listening to the podcast of NPR’s Day to Day from last Friday, just after the gay marriage ban passed.  They brought on several people to talk about the decision, but the most interesting for me was Maggie Gallagher, President of National Organization for Marriage.  This is one of the main groups responsible for […]

There is some most excellent news out of California today for those who believe in equal rights under the law for everyone. The California Supreme Court struck down a law banning gay marriage in the state, meaning that same sex couples are now free to marry as they please with full recognition under the […]

Evidently there is a gentleman running for the Senate in Idaho who has legally changed his name to Pro-Life.  Please take a moment to let the enormity of this man’s idiocy sink in.  Here I thought that the Midwest had the market cornered on fundamentalist nutjobs, and that the Pacific coast would be free of […]

Some third grade students in Georgia were allegedly conspiring to kill or seriously harm their teacher, and the plot was blown open yesterday.  I’d place the blame for an incident like this squarely on the little brats and the parents that raised them as little brats, but Christian media wanks know who the real culprit […]
