Hillary Clinton has an iPod. Yeah, and so do Condi, Dubya, and at least half of Washington, based on my observations during the morning and evening commutes. What’s on it is the real interesting question.
“I’ve got everything — a total smorgasbord,” the 58-year-old senator said.
Songs from Clinton’s youth figure heavily in the selection of about […]
I don’t read the Power Line blog that often, because I don’t often read right wing blogs, but when I saw that the Daou Report had linked to their post about Ray Nagin’s election win in New Orleans, I went over to read the whole thing.
The short version is this: Dumb niggers elected the wrong […]
I covered Oklahoma’s anti-gay adoption law — which not only prevented gay adoptions in the state, but also prohibited the state from recognizing adoptions granted in other states to same sex couples — when it was passed by the Oklahoma House and Senate. I wondered then how it could possibly stand. Well, it didn’t.
A federal […]
It’s as I suspected. Yesterday I posted an update on the situation with religious anti-gay death squads in Iraq, after seeing an article describing ongoing attacks despite reports that Iraqi cleric Ali al-Sistani had lifted the fatwa against gay men (though not lesbians) and deleted it from his website.
I suspected that the fatwa might still […]
Kudos to Washington D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams has recommended that minister Alfred Owens apologize for blatantly homophobic remarks made during a sermon.
Mayor Anthony A. Williams threatened yesterday to remove a prominent minister from his interfaith council if the minister does not issue a public apology for derogatory remarks he made about gay men during a […]
I’ll say this for the Bush administration. They can still surprise me. Back in January I posted about how the Bush administration backed an Iranian initiative to block U.N. access to gay human rights groups.
But apparently there’s been an about face, of sorts. As other countries again lined up to deny consultative access to a […]
I don’t know if news is just slow to spread in Iraq. But unless this story is older than I think it is, it looks like gay Iraqis still face religious death squads, despite earlier news that Sistani lifted the fatwa against gay men (not lesbians, though) last week.
THE death threat was delivered to Karazan’s […]
So, can we call them racists yet?
A christian adoption agency that receives government funds won’t let Catholics adopt. Well, you know what they say about “what goes around.”
Somehow it got by me, but the Mad Professah reminded me that today is International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO). Of course, every day is a day against homophobia on this blog, so I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do differently today. Anyway, I’d say head to the nearest IDAHO activity in your area, but […]
Well, this is welcome news. A Georgia judge struck down the state’s ban on gay marriage. And in doing so, she offered these words of sanity.
Judge Constance C. Russell’s order states: "This Court is well aware that Amendment One enjoyed great public support. However, the test of law is not its popularity. Procedural safeguards […]
Oh no he didn’t. It’s amazing what people will say when they think you ain’t in the room.
SNOW: Having said that, I don’t want to hug the tar baby of trying to comment on the program, the alleged program, the existence of which I can neither confirm nor deny.
….
QUESTION: What are your personal goals? What […]
I don’t often to “remainders” posts. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever done one. But there were a lot items on my radar and in my news reader today that were religiously related in one way or another. So many, in fact, that when I tried to tie them all together in a single […]
Did they dodge a bullet or did we? I’m not sure, but I’m a bit relieved when the Supreme Court refuses to rule on a gay adoptions case, thus letting stand a ruling that came down in our favor.
In a Washington state case, the U.S. Supreme Court refused today to block a gay woman from […]
Media Matters notes that Oliver North asked why Dean hadn’t denounced anti-gay protesters at soldiers’ funerals, and implied that the protesters — Fred Phelps and family — may be “liberals” or Democratic supporters. Ollie missed the point. Maybe the reason Dean hasn’t denounced them is because he wants their votes.
