Hurricane Katrina has blazed a trail of destruction throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Thousands of homes have been […]
For someone on the right to say it’s all our fault. Katrina, that is. Queers, I mean.
An evangelical Christian group that regularly demonstrates at LGBT events is blaming gays for hurricane Katrina.
Repent America says that God "destroyed" New Orleans because of Southern Decadence, the gay festival that was […]
I finally had to invoke Nancy Pearl’s "rule of 50" on a book. It goes something like this.
If you still don’t like a book after slogging through the first 50 pages, set it aside. If you’re more than 50 years old, subtract your age from 100 and only grant it that many pages.
The […]
I’ve written here before about the connection between oil (and our consumption of it) and the war in Iraq, and how generally people stop listening when anyone suggests a relationship between the two. But will that be the reaction now that Bush has said oil is yet another reason for the war in Iraq?
President Bush […]
Cuteness from this weekend.
Because some things must be seen to be believed.

Not long ago, I said that Democrats should be willing to get as down and dirty as Republicans in order to win. I may have to take some of that back, after seeing this.
As far as things to put on a t-shirt go, it’s about as funny as this.
And, frankly, that’s just not […]
Katharine asked a few posts back why I wasn’t blogging much about Katrina and the devestation it’s caused. It’s mainly because so many bloggers have been covering it so well that I haven’t been able to think of much to add.
But I will say this. If you haven’t already done so, consider giving to […]
I’ve been doing some substitue blogging over at the Rock the Vote blog, where I’ve met up with the rather conservative social security privatization crowd, who seem to congregate there for some reason.
And they don’t like me. They really, really don’t like me.
I guess I’m not conservative enough for ‘em. Big surprise, huh?
Anyway, […]

I haven’t blogged about Kristina, because it’s being well covered by plenty other blogs. But this was just too much not to at least pass on.
Know how the right is always getting on the left about "politicizing" things like this?
Well. From an email already being circulated by an anti-choice organization:
The image of the hurricane […]
Wow.
The survey also found that Sheehan, who has been protesting the war outside Bush’s ranch near Crawford, Tex., has become the most visible symbol of the anti-war movement. Fully three in four Americans have heard or read about her.
Sheehan met last year with Bush at an event for military families and has been seeking […]
Yeah, I’m mentioning them in the same breath. And why not? They’ve got a few things in common; specifically that both of them have said some rather nasty things about gays & lesbians in the past. Falwell blamed gays & lesbians, among others, for the attacks on 9/11. Farrakhan once advocated the death penalty for […]
