Eric wrote this earlier today in reaction to Obama’s speech about race.
I got the sense today that Barack Obama was tired. Tired of the hatred and fear-mongering insanity that has gripped not just Republicans, but Democrats as well. I know I get tired when I have to endure the same types of slurs I saw […]

No comment needed except… 1) Wow! and 2) It will be interesting to see how this story will play out alongside the presidential primary election cycle. Surely there will be a hailstorm of commentary on that over the next few days.

DES MOINES, Iowa - A Polk County judge on Thursday struck down Iowa’s law banning gay marriage and ordered the county recorder to permit gay and lesbian couples to marry.

Less than two hours after word of the ruling was publicized, two Des Moines men applied at the Polk County recorder’s office for a marriage license, and for the first time the application was accepted. The process of granting a license to marry in Iowa takes three days.

When asked about the Larry Craig incident, Mike Huckabee had a pretty good response:
“The American people will forgive us for being sinners. They will not forgive us for being hypocrites.”
But I’d take it a step further by asking: who really cares if Larry Craig is gay?
I certainly don’t. I don’t even care if he […]

From yesterday’s Cinci Enquirer blog:
Two women convicted of falsifying election petitions to meet quotas for bonuses were put on probation and ordered to do 200 hours of community service, but a judge said they were minor players in a much larger “mean-spirited campaign.”
Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman reiterated Monday what he said last […]

I’m not exactly sure what Matt Naugle’s problem is, but he seems unable to resist implying that Ted Strickland is gay, and prefers younger men. Let’s not forget the innuendos about Strickland’s vacation with a staffer, and that his wife may not even live with him. Of course, all of these “allegations” are […]

Ah- TownHall.com.
They have ALL the best wingnut writers like Ken Blackwell and, of course, Rush Limbaugh’s brother David.
With such a wonderful pool of ‘talent’, you’d expect to find writing on a wide range of conservative topics. But, for some reason, the topic du jour is still ‘the gays want to take away […]

You might consider this lazy blogging, but I don’t care. I saw a deleted scene from the movie Knocked Up this morning, and it’s hilarious. Foul, graphic, and potentially disturbing, but hilarious none-the-less.
Oh yeah, it highlights the double-standards between male and female sexuality in popular media.
After the jump, due to it’s vulgarity.

“Russians Know How to Handle ‘Gay’ Parades”
That’s the headline the kooks over at CovenantNews.com ran for the story about the violence at a Gay Pride parade in central Moscow the other day.
The Gulf Times provides a less-homophobic view:
Russian police detain gays as punches and eggs fly
MOSCOW: Russian nationalists shouting “death to homosexuals” punched and kicked […]

I guess since Bizzy takes a shot at me (ostensibly for something I didn’t write), and shuts down comments - I’ll comment here. First off, I asked Brian to blog here and I’m not in the habit of trying to police that. I don’t have to agree with him always or with Joe […]

Ken joins with some “former homosexuals” from Exodus International, “the world’s largest outreach to those dealing with unwanted same-sex attraction“, to protest H.R. 1592, the “Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of
2007″ because it extends the definition of a hate crime to include those motivated by the “sexual orientation” ” or “gender identity” of […]
