It looks like Obama's administration will continue the practice of making many gay and lesbian couples pay more in taxes and receive fewer of the benefits of citizenship in return.

Watching Barack Obama in Nashville last night I couldn't help but marvel again and again how reassuring is his quiet tone. McCain continually jumped all over the stage, physically and linguistically. Obama strode about at a casual pace, spoke slowly and coherently, and convinced still more Americans that he's the right choice -- the only choice -- for President.

Does John Edwards really care about universal health care?

Hurry now, rush to the Virginian-Pilot's web site to vote to dump "Don't Ask/Don't Tell." (The V-P is based in Norfolk in the heart of all the current and retired military in Virginia's Hampton Roads area.) Here's the link:

Just so you know, all you gays and lesbians out there and all other people in America who still give a damn about civil rights and equality:

If you're a loving gay male or lesbian couple in Slovenia, you can get more recognition and legal rights from your country than the good ol' USA offers.

It's a bit weird (you can't invite friends and relatives to your ceremony), but it's legal and even George Bush and his radical right friends can't stop it.

Here's the story. Read it and weep for America:

Two thousand five hundred Americans have died since George Bush began his war in Iraq. Many thousands more have been injured, some of them with disabling injuries. And hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been killed or injured.

Why?

Why are Americans tolerating this? How low can this country go toward absolute militarism before it's too late to pull back?

The answer came from White House mouthpiece Tony Snow today, when he said that "2,500 is only a number."

Enough, America. Enough.

Bush and the religious right are ignoring a very important distinction that we all need to repeat over and over again.

Civil marriage RIGHTS are within the purview of government. Religious RITES are a matter for religious groups. RIGHTS and RITES are and should be separate in law.

The Europeans know how to distinguish between the two: Go to your local government and get the piece of paper that controls legal and financial matters. Then, if you wish, go to your religious institution for whatever ceremony they perform.

This is what we should be working toward in the United States. Read More

John McCain is doing his damnedest to earn the title of the world's greatest political whore!

The latest? He's just signed on to deliver the commencement address at Jerry Falwell's school. Yes, this is the same Falwell McCain railed against when the religious right was backing W in 2000 and McCain was pursuing the moderate Republicans (remember that now extinct species?).

And what's more, according to Falwell, McCain now favors an anti-gay marriage amendment to the U.S. Constitution, something that in 2004 he forcefully argued against as "antithetical in every way to the core philosophy of Republicans."

He're the story from the Lynchburg News & Advance:

You just can't make up stuff like this! Now a crazed rabbi is claiming that God visited Israel with a plague of bird flu to punish some Israelis for saying that gays have rights.

Here's the story from Reuters: http://today.reuters.com/...

But, hey, what with Dubya and all the other Republicans railing against rights for gays in America, perhaps our country is safe?

Don't believe anyone in the anti-choice crowd when they say abortion should be an option for a woman impregnated through rape or incest. They mouth that lie because most reasonable people are horrified at the notion that a woman would be forced to carry to term a baby so conceived, and they don't want to turn off reasonable voters.

But leave it to the Concerned Women of America to finally come clean and advocate that women be forced to incubate every fetus, no matter what: The "law should not permit the most innocent victim, an unborn child, to suffer by forfeiting his or her life because of the rapist's criminal act."

So never mind the poor woman -- she doesn't count. Birth that baby, woman! Don't be selfish and deprive that rapist of his sacred offspring!
