I still believe that President Barack Obama, for his ubiquitous campaign promises of “hope” and “change,” publicly came out for same-sex marriage too late in his presidency — the time to do the right thing is (almost) always right now — and I still believe that Oba… Read full post »
Katherine, Kenneth & Ken: 3 Ks make KKK

Associated Press photo
Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett is a Mormon and a co-chair of fellow Mormon multi-millionaire Mittens Romney’s presidential campaign in Arizona. The Repugnican Tea Party traitor Bennett (photographed above in November with Repugnican Tea Party Arizona Gov.… Read full post »
Jesse Jackson, et. al., seem to have evolved

Um, let’s not call Barack Obama “the first gay president,” but let’s credit him with being influential within the black community where equal human and civil rights for non-heterosexuals and non-gender-conforming individuals are concerned.
Newsweek’s May 21 cover… Read full post »
Obama’s cold calculation on same-sex marriage
President Barack Obama made headlines today by having proclaimed in an interview with ABC News, “...[A]t a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.”
I can tell… Read full post »
Biden’s endorsement is not nearly enough
So Vice President Joe Biden today on “Meet the Press” said that he supports same-sex marriage.
When host David Gregory asked Biden, “You’re comfortable with same-sex marriage now?”, Biden replied: “Look, I am vice president of the United States of America. The pres… Read full post »
I am Barack Obama’s ex, too!
Fire and ice!
You come on like a flame,
Then you turn a cold shoulder!
Fire and ice!
I want to give you my love,
But you’ll just take a little piece of my heart…

Why I don’t blog for the baby boomers

Infanticide suddenly seems like a good thing…
Most people who read blogs probably assume that most bloggers want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible — and therefore, never to (gasp!) offend anybody.
Not me.
I don’t think that I’ve ever come out and said it, b… Read full post »
‘Bully’ flawed but spurs vital conversation
Film review

Alex and Kelby, above, are two of the victims of school bullying who are featured in The Weinstein Company’s documentary “Bully.” Alex, who was born prematurely, in the documentary is portrayed as being called “Fishface” and routinely physicall… Read full post »
Mrs. Mittens is NO feminist

AFP photo
Former first lady of Massachusetts Ann Romney is shown with her multi-millionaire husband last month, above, and in 1969, the year of their marriage, below. Mrs. Mittens and the Mittens campaign would have you believe that she’s been the typical stay-at-home mom, just as Mr. M… Read full post »
Ozzie Guillen guilty of telling the truth
Posted Tuesday, April 10, 2012

In a nation that only claims to value the freedom of speech, Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen was suspended for five games for having made comments to TIME magazine that (gasp!) offended Miami’s right-wing, pro-plutocratic C/… Read full post »
Prick finally takes a hint
Reuters photo
Prick Santorum’s wife Karen cries today as he announces in Pennsylvania that he has dropped his bid for the presidency. This piece is about Prick, not his wife, but I think that this news photo is pretty fucking funny.
So apparently Prick Santorum didn’t want the add… Read full post »
Mittens’ Mormonism matters (and other heresies on Easter)
Ah, Easter Sunday.
No better day (except Christmas, perhaps) to discuss religion.
The Los Angeles Times’ website had two interesting headlines this past week. The first, posted Thursday, was “Sen. Hatch Predicts Obama Campaign to ‘Throw Mormon Church’ at Romney.” It begi… Read full post »
Only Prick Santorum thinks he should continue

Associated Press photo
No, wait — his wife (pictured with him above in Wisconsin on Friday) also thinks that he should keep going because it would be so cool to be first lady! So that’s two people.
Repugnican Tea Party presidential wannabe Prick Santorum won’t stop wailing a… Read full post »
Obama’s ‘Etch-A-Sketch’ moment?
So this exchange between U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev was caught on a live microphone today:
President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this – this can be solved, but it’s important for him [incoming Russian President Vladi… Read full post »

In which I actually defend Team Mittens

Associated Press photo
Prick Santorum (pictured above campaigning in San Antonio, Texas, today) says that while Mittens Romney’s campaign promises are written on an Etch-A-Sketch, his are written in stone. Prick can stick to his “Christo”fascist “principles,” but… Read full post »
There goes the men’s vote

AFP photo
While as president of the United States the “Christo”fascist Prick Santorum would be dangerous, Gallup’s daily tracking polls show that the wingnut doesn’t have even the support of a full one-third of the Repugnican Tea Party — thank God. (Prick is show… Read full post »
Time to reel in our stormtroopers and shrink the Death Star
There comes a time when you

Free from my innocence, there is no circumstance too

Only the need for us, for us to believe again
There is a time, temptation’s on the run
Dreamer, you’ve had your way
Soldier, you’ve had your day in the
sun

Gallup polling: Prick Santorum remains in free fall

Except perhaps for the crying, it’s all over for Repugnican Tea Party presidential wannabe Prick Santorum (shown above feasting on ribs in Memphis, Tenn., today). His peak has passed and it’s all downhill f… Read full post »
Andrew Breitbart goes to hell

Associated Press photo
Wingnut Andrew Breitbart died today, and I celebrated the news. (The racist, right-wing fascist is shown above in October 2009.) Breitbart and I had some things in common – he was a white man with blue eyes, and so am I, and he keeled over at age… Read full post »

Prick Santorum is being crucified in the polls

Reuters photo
Butt Juice Boy apparently could be reacting to his latest national poll numbers, but this photo was taken on February 14, when he still had a significant lead over perma-presidential candidate Mittens. That lead since has evaporated, thank (the non-existent, Zeus-like, Judeo-Chr/… Read full post »
Mittens finally jumps on ‘war on religion’ bandwagon

Associated Press photo
Mitt Romney obviously is running scared, with Prick Santorum running ahead of him as much as 10 percentage points in recent nationwide Repugnican Tea Party presidential preference polls.
Mittens hasn’t spoken much about religion thus far, I surmise, because he doe… Read full post »
Insantorum: Global warming is ‘political science’

Reuters photo
No, it would take courage to stand up to the fossil fuels industry, not to kowtow to it for personal and political gain, and to fight for Americans would be to fight for what’s in our best interests, and the continued long-term degradation of the planet for the… Read full post »
Is Prick Santorum the biggest dipshit on the planet?

AFP photo
“Christo”fascist Prick Santorum, trying to distance himself from his strong insinuation of yesterday that President Barack Obama isn’t a Christian and he is, today essentially stated that he believes that humankind should do as it pleases to planet Earth. (It&rsquo… Read full post »
