If you haven’t noticed, this blog is basically dead.  Mostly this has been due to a lack of time and a lack of content.  Sure there are always teabaggers to make fun of, and the religious fundamentalists are always going to be forcing their beliefs on us, but in comparison to the Bush era things are good.

Today though I wanted to come out and express my overwhelming surprise and joy that Prop 8 has been struck down.  Read more about it over at the Bilerico Project.  I also wanted to point out that while I am very happy about this development it still pisses me off that in 2010 we have to hope for court rulings to ensure American citizens get equal rights.  What the fuck.  Anyhow, great news and I highly recommend reading Judge Walker’s Opinion.

Rep. Monique Davis, whom I wrote about yesterday, has been named Keith Olberman’s Worst Person in the World. If you remember Rep. Davis said that an atheist had no right to state their beliefs in front of the Illinois government. I honestly expected an apology and retraction by this point, but maybe I had too [...]

At long last I bring you part 2 of my three part series on the Reverend Wright “controversy” and the hypocrisy that surrounds it. This controversy has been totally fabricated by the radical conservatives and propagated by our spineless and sensationalist media. Instead of honest conversations on the points brought up in Wright’s sermons we [...]
