That nice Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air, whom I have met and think is a very sensible man on the whole, has some thoughts about a documentary called Outrage that purports to out closeted gay Republicans, which was brought to his attention by the perpetually outraged Rick Moran, who spotted a post about it …

I met my late life partner of over 20 years, Margaret Ardussi, in Fairfield, Iowa, in June 1984 when I came to stay in the house full of lesbians where she was renting a room. I was there to attend a World Peace Assembly of yogic flyers at Maharishi International University, now known as Maharishi …
In this post I propose that conservative organizations and wealthy conservatives put their wallets together and provide Robert Stacy McCain with a VERY prosperous and steady income so he can focus full-time on the conservative networking and mentoring of conservative bloggers he does through his blog, The Other McCain. I wrote it 10 days ago …
