Here’s a slideshow of the anti-gay graffitti at Michigan Tech.
I haven’t said much yet about the whole Cheney shooting incident. After all, there are plenty of people working ovetime to flog that one for all it’s worth. (And well they should.) I have my own questions. Was Cheney drinking? It’s well known the man has heart problems (possibly a lack of one). Was he […]
If police officers get paid to have sex, in order to in order to bust prostitutes (who also exchange sexual services for money) doesn’t that make the cops prostitutes too?

Let’s summarize: Cops mistakenly break down the door of a sleeping man, late at night, as part of […]
I’m writing this at about 10:30 pm Monday night, for posting Tuesday morning. By the time this is posted, Tookie Williams — co-founder of the street gang known as the Crips — will have been executed by the state of California. I’ve written before about my opposition to the death penalty, but I haven’t blogged […]
Over a week ago, I posted about the story of Lucas Dawson, the Philadelphia black gay man who defended himself with a knife against seven gay bashers, stabbing one of them who later died of his wounds. The story appears to be spreading. There’s an interview with Dawson available online. Keith has a post […]
In the same week that Silvia Johnson’s 30 year sentence for giving drugs and alcohol to teenage boys and having sex with them makes news, we now have the story of a 37 year old “cool mom” and her involvement with a 15-year-old. However, Lisa Lynette Clark does Silvia Johnson one better. She married her […]

Nothing yet, but the Washington Post reports that White House aides are bracing themselves.
Also, not to rain on anyone’s parade, but TalkLeft has posted an interesting scenario in which Rove could slip the noose.
I’m beginning to think it possible that Karl Rove either is not going to be charged in the Valerie Plame Leak investigation, […]
Today might be the day. When it happens, I’m sure it’ll be all over the internet. In the meantime, we have the arrest warrant!
Pretty, ain’t it?
