The UK’s Daily Mail today revealed that Austria’s Far-Right Wing-Nut Jörg Haider spent the hour before his recent high speed drunken car accident which claimed his life, imbibing in the “notorious” (whatever that means) gay club, Stadtkraemer. Apparently Austria’s answer to David Dukes, despite being married and having children, was notorious in his own right, …

Over at National Review, David Frum writes that he plans vote for John McCain on November 4, even though McCain left the reservation on a few conservative issues. Like Frum and other disaffected Republicans, I could settle for McCain. Or I could “jump ship,” as one pundit calls it, and support Barack Obama. I’ve decided to support …

This’ll get some play today, I’m sure. After being grilled by Hannity about Obama’s association with Ayers, Obama strategist William Gibbs starts asking why Hannity would do a show about Holocaust denier Andy Martin, which he did on Sunday. Hannity starts to bluster, but Gibbs, who like most of Obama’s team, seems to have mastered …

According to a new report in the journal of Science, researchers from Northwestern University and the University of Texas have concluded that insecure minds tend to find patterns and relationships between things that simply don’t exist.  This phenomenon is heightened when people feel a lack of control. 
In a broad sense, these findings derive from …

California’s Republican Governor, Arnold “It’s not a tumor” Schwarzeneger, has vetoed a bill that would have recognized slain San Francisco Supervisor and Gay Rights Activist Harvey Milk’s many accomplishments and contributions to the LGBT community and the world at large, by naming May 22nd as Harvey Milk day. As both Towleroad and AfterElton both point …

With the failure of the bailout to pass Congress today, we’ve seen a classic example of what the Right wing (the main wing) of the GOP is all about.  Ideology uber alles.  The House GOP is playing chicken over their ideological devotion to “free markets”.  You know, unfettered, un-regulated, un-disciplined, un-ethical, un-sound market exuberance, with …

Make no doubt about, John McCain is playing politics. After “suspending” his campaign to address the financial crisis, McCain came into Washington and– did nothing. He did not signal his support for the current administration plan, either publicly or in his requested meeting with the White House, not did he offer up an alternative publicly …

What a disheartening week to be an American. As the nation remains gripped in the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression, nobody in the government has stepped up to the plate to explain what is happening in simple common-sense terms. You have two candidates who have demonstrated a greater interest in using the crisis …

What a strange spectacle the GOP Convention turned out to be, a bizarre portrait of a major party in implosion. I don’t know where to begin. Actually, yes I do: Sarah Palin. I’m not outraged by her political inexperience, her shameless use of her family as a political prop or the McCain camps inability to …

I wouldn’t worry. Republicans seem to have a knack for weaseling out of service. Take a look at just about any member of the current administration. They all found a way to avoid it. I’m sure you will too.

Larry Craig and David Vitter, or as I like to call them “Wide Stance” and “Hooker McGee” are among the co-sponsors of the reintroduction of the Federal Marriage Amendment Act.
Funny? Hypocritical? Infuriating? Or all of the Above?

Leonard,
I wasn’t reading the article for information (since it’s hogwash), but what you’re hearing– and born out in some of the comments– is that for evangelicals who do think gay marriage is an important issue, they want to see McCain act on it and fight against it. If the issue keeps coming up, it puts …
