Jan Brewer-Governor of Arizona-Just Wow

September 4, 2010September 2, 2010 John Arizona, Debate, Governor, Jan Brewer

OK, so things are a little crazy in Arizona lately. I know they’re so concerned about the hordes of illegal aliens running over the boarder and destroying our economy (which the good bankers on Wall Street spent so much time creating for us), that they have to a pass a law that flies in the face of the Constitution. But I think opening statement in a recent gubanatorial debate for Arizona Governor explains a lot. It doesn’t get much freakier than this. I thought it might be a Saturday Night Live skit at first. As the title says, “Just Wow!”

NOM Fund Raising with Lies

September 3, 2010September 2, 2010 John Maggie Gallagher, Marriage, National Organization for Marriage, Nom, stop8.org

I know it will shock you to learn that the National Organization for Marriage is running a radio ad to, among other things, raise money, with a complete stream of lies. So, are you off the floor yet (I know you fell over when you heard). So, many thanks to Matt from stop8.org who took the time to analyze their ad, statement by statement to point out the lies. I guess that old “baring false witness” thing isn’t important if your fighting teh gayz. I mean some sins are worse than others, so if you have to commit one fight one, it’s must be OK, because they’re all Christian.

Focus on Your Family Wants to Maintain Right to Beat Up Gay Kids

September 2, 2010September 2, 2010 John Anderson Cooper, focus on the family

That’s right folks. The good christian people at Focus on the Family don’t want schools to have effective anti-bullying campaigns because they want to be sure their kids can continue to beat up kids who are or are perceived to be gay. Oh they try to dress it up in nice words saying they want safe schools for everyone, but if you go around and tell kids it’s not OK to beat up the gay kids, then you’re teaching them that being gay is OK.

Tim Curtis Gets My Vote for U.S. House

August 4, 2010August 5, 2010 John 11th congressional district, Cathy Castor, Tim Curtis

OK, I admit I’d not given much thought to the Democratic Primary for 11th Congressional District. I’m not overly impressed with Cathy Castor, but she’s generally socially progressive, so I expected to vote for her. I frankly didn’t even know she had an opponent. That changed tonight, and Tim Curtis has earned my vote.

The Kids are All Right – A Movie Review

August 1, 2010August 1, 2010 John Annette Bening, Drama, Josh Hutchersonkn, Julianne Moore, LGBT, Lisa Cholodenko, Mark Ruffalo, Mia Wasikowska

Two teenaged children conceived by artificial insemination get the notion to seek out their birth father and introduce him into the family life that their two mothers have built for them. Once the donor is found, the household will never be the same, as family ties are defined, re-defined, and then re-re-defined. This was an excellent movie which I highly recommend with some caveats.
