Filed under: Etc. , Government/Legal The proposed South Carolina plate would have looked something like Florida's (pictured above) Last year, the South Carolina state legislature approved a bill to establish a Christian-themed license plate depicting a cross in front of a stained-glass window and bearing the words "I Believe". The vote spurred public advocacy groups into action, decrying...
Ken Carbone redesigned three of the crappiest NFL helmets , those of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Redskins, and New England Patriots. Among the weakest designs are the Washington Redskins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whose visually complicated logos become a graphic mess when televised and, I imagine, even if you're sitting on the fifty-yard line. At the very the bottom of the list are the New...
Via the Washington Blade : If you really want to erase that bile from your mind, remember this WWII veteran -- 86-year-old Mainer Philip Spooner -- a patriot and supporter of equal rights for all. "The woman at my polling place asked me do I believe in equality for gay and lesbian people. I was pretty surprised to be asked a question like that. It made no sense to me. Finally I asked her: what...
Love it -- no matter that the child-raping priests and fornicators are welcome, the homos shouldn't darken the door of the Vatican : ETN asked the Bishop [Janusz Kaleta of Holy See, the Apostolic Administrator of Atyrau] if the Vatican's stand was clearly against [gay] tourism, and the Bishop answered: "The church teachings are from the Bible. If we change this teaching, we will not be the Catholic...
One year out, how many losses might we project for Nancy Pelosi’s House majority? Which Democrats are most vulnerable? Piggybacking on the post I wrote last week after attending the latest Cook Political Report political briefing at their Watergate offices, I'll take a look the analysis by CPR’s David Wasserman, and perhaps tweak it a bit. Wasserman identified five factors--in chart above,...
Over the weekend, I spoke at a conference in Philadelphia hosted by Students for Liberty, an impressive, rapidly growing national affiliation of libertarian-minded college students. One of the other speakers was Bob Bowdon, the occasional "reporter" for the Onion News Network (where he goes by the character name Brian Scott) and host of a forthcoming talk show on PBS. Bowdon was speaking...
Earlier I had readers ponder whether the DNC boycott had merit or would be effective. Well, one measure to decide whether it's a worthy measure is the progress achieved by our own advocacy organizations' checklist of what was referred to as the " low-hanging fruit " that the Obama administration and/or Congress could achieve in short order, right? Mike Signorile pulled the cache of a Blade...
Gatecrasher reports on the statement, which reportedly didn't fly: "It turns out that some New Yorkers really can’t take a joke — especially when it’s unspeakably filthy. 'People seemed to not be laughing at his jokes, but more because they...
Again, as with hate crimes legislation, the conventional wisdom on the Hill is that politically, a vote on repeal of this ludicrous policy can't stand on its own, despite massive public support to end the ban on gays and lesbians openly serving in the military. ( Wash Blade ): Frank said in an interview with the Blade that repealing the 1993 law barring gays from serving openly in the military would...
crossposted on Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters Last week, I talked abut Peter Vadala , a young man claiming that he was fired from his job at Brookstone (a Massachusetts retailer store) for "merely" voicing his so-called Christian beliefs abut a colleague's legal gay wedding. Well now many religious right groups and organizations have picked up on the story, making sure to make Vadala...
On Monday, the Charleston County Republican Party’s executive committee “took the unusual step” of officially censuring Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). The local GOP committee admonished Graham for stepping across party lines to work with Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) on a bipartisan clean energy bill and other pieces of legislation. The censure stated that Graham’s “bipartisanship...
Networks Decide Attack Wasn't Terror: 85 percent of the broadcast stories didn't mention the word "terror." ABC, CBS, and NBC evening news referenced terrorism connections to the Fort Hood attack just seven times in 48 reports. ABC, CBS, NBC Follow White House Line: Before Obama's Nov. 10 speech, 93 percent of the stories had ignored any terror connection. But after Obama hinted at what...
As you know, I'm one of the supporters of the DNC boycott launched by Americablog , as my position has been for a long time that money talks. The heavyweight and grassroots donors are appalled, not just with the lack of attention to LGBT civil rights, but the speeding bus now being driven over women and reproductive freedom in the health care reform morass. It's not just the LGBTs affected by the...
