I originally planned this post on the unchanging Bible and homosexuality to be about Dr. Laura and her flip from Orthodox Judaism to evangelical Christianity, but the pertinent quote from Eric Hoffer’s The True Believer is too heavy and needs its own post. Also, today I came across a post by dear Stacy McCain railing …

How Stacy McCain became irresistible to women
It was a balmy, sunny day at Rehobeth Beach, Delaware, and Stacy McCain was walking on the sparkling beach when he spied a dark metal handle of something that looked like a gravy boat sticking up out of the sand. He pulled it out for closer examination. As Stacy brushed off the sand and rubbed …

I fell in love at CPAC
I was apprehensive about attending CPAC in Washington, D.C., Feb. 26 to 28, and was thinking about just coming on Saturday on an exhibit hall pass when what should tip the scales to signing up for the whole shebang but an invitation to coffee from Little Miss Attila! My standard for imagining how I would …

'The enemy have us surrounded'
My father told me “Chesty” Puller said this, and it always makes me smile when I’m in a similar situation: Men! The enemy have us surrounded! The poor, dumb bastards! They can’t get away from us now! There are other versions of the quote here, but I like this one best. Wikipedia has his biography …
'They say that lesbians hate men'
Son of a bitch, another celebrity I have to give up as a liberal fool! During the 2008 election campaign it was like a stampede of celebrities to the brink of our last nerve and beyond as Cuban Diva BFF and I commiserated by phone over our losses. So, today I’ve had it with Roseanne …
Affirmation for 3/5/09
All my adult life I have had to work at being optimistic in the face of an assortment of crushing and deadly adversities and I have learned a lot about how to do it. So today I am going to start a category of posts on affirmations because I have been using them for over …
How to turn around blighted neighborhoods for free, the conservative way
As a minority, lesbians and gays have few, if any, friends and allies willing to expend political capital on our behalf — although other minorities accept all the golden eggs we produce for them with endless handfuls of gimme and mouths full of “much obliged.” We also have less family support than any other minority …

Adoption for lesbians and gays doesn't mean what social conservatives think it means
I have the impression, from a very small sample of evangelical families, including one I have known many years, that their religious leaders urge them to adopt children as a way of adding more converts to their flock. I expect, if this is true, that they press this cause in more idealistic terms. But, from …
Michael Steele's Rush Limbaugh gaffe and how to go forward to victory
Little Miss Attila kindly asked me what I thought of this post at her blog, and here is my answer: My concern with Steele’s put-down of Limbaugh is that it makes me question his personality, his judgment and his qualifications for the job of chairman of the Republican National Committee, which Rush correctly pointed out …
