UPDATED — Rachel Maddow springs to the defense of ACORN
Because election fraud doesn’t just commit itself: Rachel Maddow is joined by Occidental College politics professor Peter Dreier, who authored a study on how myths about ACORN were manufactured and how easily the mainstream media–not just the right wing media –was led into reporting falsehoods. (I can’t get the video to embed properly here — …

Like Reagan said, boys: you haven't left the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left you
My heart goes out to the dear young gay men in Chicago at HillBuzz as they watch in horror the transformation of the Democratic Party: What does it mean to be a Democrat today? This is a question we’re asking ourselves more and more lately, upon witnessing the utter travesty that’s taking place in Washington …
UPDATED — Kathy Shaidle, Boyzone's Stephen Gately may have died of obstructive sleep apnea
I respect Kathy Shaidle’s war against creeping Sharia and Islamofascism and her war in support of free speech. However, I’m not a fan of her war against homosexual equality, which she prosecutes by stigmatizing homosexuals at every possible opportunity. She is very much against punishing thought crimes and speech crimes, but has no qualm about …

Cassandra, at Villainous Company, opposes marriage equality for homosexuals, but has been kind enough to visit here from time-to-time and quote me a couple of times recently. She quoted me from my post on the National Equality March a couple of days ago — the quote follows her comment that she is “not sure how …
Jon Stewart shellacks CNN's factcheck of SNL's Obama skit
I still have not forgiven Jon Stewart for his deranged rant against Gov. Sarah Palin last year. I definitely will never let him live it down. But this helps: The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c
No one laughs at God in a hospital
Dad’s OK, I’m OK, Cuban Diva BFF’s OK, all the cats are OK. But I spent the day working on a post that required me to re-live aspects of caring for Margaret while she was dying. Dear Jennie, The Bloggess, linked this song, “Laughing With,” by Regina Spektor in a tweet awhile back and it …
Obama has finally found a war he is determined to win and a foe for whom he has preconditions before he will negotiate — Fox News
You know how Gov. Sarah Palin keeps pointing out that Obama is allergic to the words “victory” and “win” when it comes to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Or any conflict where democracy and capitalism are threatened? And you remember how Obama has declared he will negotiate with terrorist and totalitarian regimes without pre-conditions? …
Obama chooses negotiating with raging wildfires instead of raging queens
Obama enraged homosexuals on Saturday when he failed to set a deadline, or state any kind of timetable, to keep his campaign promises of enacting legislation that would bring homosexuals closer to first-class citizenship: repealing the Defense of Marriage Act and “don’t ask, don’t tell,” and enacting the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. When presented with the …
