We Serve It, Even When It's Hard To Swallow
I think it’s safe to say that I do not like Rick Santorum. To me, he represents the sort of regressive behavior and policy ideas that are preventing this country from evolving and moving into the future. Not only does he represent the backwater, redneck thinking that threatens to slap this country back into the [...]
Another week, another Friday Flashback! This week: 1990 The number one song of 1990 was Hold On by Wilson Phillips, which was enough to make me wanna run away from this year. The number eight song of 1990 was also Hold On, but by a much better group, En Vogue. This week, however, we have [...]
This week’s worst quote comes from a recent broadcast of Christian conservative James Dobson’s “Family Talk,” where Jim Garlow, senior pastor at the evangelical Skyline Church, dished out an extra helping of stupid by claiming that African Americans saved the nation from “the bondage and enslavement” of gay marriage. “They were forced here and they [...]
Former Speaker and potential 2012 GOP candidate Newt Gingrich keeps trying to spin his trio of wives and adulterous behavior with excuses that Jesus has forgiven him and so should the rest of us. Gingrich discussed his extramarital lapses with right-wing extremist Bryan ‘Indians are drunks‘ Fischer.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) who beat Gov. Charlie Christ for Florida’s senate seat last November thanks to support from the Tea Party, is standing firmly with his fellow homophobic and intolerant Republican brothers who want to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, which President Obama has said his administration refuses to enforce and defend.
In a recent poll conducted by the Pew Research Center on gay marriage and abortion, an increase in support was shown on both issues. The poll was conducted February 22-March 1 among 1,504 adults. The first question: should gays and lesbians be allowed to marry legally? 45% said yes, an increase of 8% since 2009 [...]
There are some moments in life and politics that truly make me laugh and bring me great joy, and it’s usually at the expense of a pontificating, holier-than-thou, I’m-right-you’re-wrong, do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do, right-winger knob-head when they get their unexpected come-uppance. For instance, I did a happy dance and laughed for days when Ted Haggard crashed and burned [...]
Earlier this month, the Republican controlled Iowan House of Representatives voted 63 to 27 to approve a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships. This move by GOP controlled state legislatures to roll back the clock on marriage equality is being challenged by the most unlikely sources, including an 80-year-old grandmother who [...]
Fresh off his war of words with Ron Paul supporters at CPAC this past weekend, possible Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made an appearance on Fox News Monday night with Greta Van Susteren and continued to put his foot in his mouth when it comes to personal and political beliefs, including his opposition to gay [...]
An effort led by Bishop Harry Jackson to overturn Washington, D.C.’s same-sex marriage law has been refused by the Supreme Court.

I was so distracted this week by Jon Stewart’s superb interview of President Obama that I failed to take proper notice of a great segment by Stephen Colbert on how the Republicans are taking back control by “talking about gay stuff.” In the ongoing special series “Indecision 2010: Revenge of the Fallen,” Colbert has used [...]
(Riverside, CA) — U.S. district judge Virginia A. Phillips issued a tentative ruling on Monday denying the government’s request for a stay of the injunction against “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT),” and will issue a final ruling on Tuesday.

Steve and Jordan feel it’s time to stop being polite, and get up in those hater’s faces.
