Villainous Company: homosexual marriage equality is only about legally being able to choose a same-sex spouse

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 …

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?

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.

Obama tells gays at HRC dinner he will get DOMA and DADT repealed and ENDA passed when hell freezes over

Obama told homosexuals to go to hell right to their faces tonight at the Human Rights Campaign banquet, and they gave him standing ovations (H/T Memeorandum). Andrew Sullivan stopped trying to find Trig Palin’s real mother long enough to sum up Obama’s flimflammery in his HRC speech: But the sad truth is: he [Obama] is …

A beautiful day with my father

Somehow I didn’t hear about Obama’s being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize yesterday until almost 11 am, right before we had to leave for my father’s check-up at the cardiologist. I didn’t believe it at first and we were 15 minutes late to the doctor because I had to go online to check my newsfeed …
