Praise the Lord and pass the denial.

There’s an interesting article over at The New Yorker about the incongruent attitudes about pre-marital sex and teen pregnancy among Christian conservatives.

During the campaign, the media has largely respected calls to treat Bristol Palin’s pregnancy as a private matter. But the reactions to it have exposed a cultural rift that mirrors America’s dominant political divide. [...]

Ruminations of a drunken homo

I’ve finally sat down and watched Four Weddings and a Funeral. You know what? I really liked it. OK, granted. I’m gay. Chick flicks are not exactly foreign territory. And I must admit the whiskey probably has had some influence on my thinking…or at least what passes for thinking when one has consumed as much [...]

How racism works

From Greg Prince’s Blog:

What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?`
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

What if McCain were still married to the first woman he said ‘I do’ to?
What if Obama were the candidate who left his [...]

Interesting

Mom was in town last weekend. During some of our time in the car Mom told me the current housing crisis was Clinton’s fault. Apparently Clinton was the one who introduced the idea that people who couldn’t afford homes should be able to own one anyway.
What is more interesting to me than blaming someone eight [...]

That’s the best you got?

It’s about time.

What a load of crap.

I stand corrected.

I’ve always said God did create Adam and Steve. He just didn’t put them in the Garden together. I guess I was wrong.

Your what?

I could only take about ten minutes of the presidential debate before I had to get up and go into another room.
Senator McCain, you are not my friend. We have almost nothing in common. Granted I have as little in common with Senator Obama, but at least he’s not presumptuous enough to claim to be [...]

No punches pulled

The truly disgusting thing about Sarah Palin isn’t that she’s totally unqualified, or a religious zealot, or married to a secessionist, or unable to educate her own daughter about sex, or a fake conservative who raised taxes and horked up earmark millions every chance she got. No, the most disgusting thing about her is what [...]
