So it seems like Prop 8 might really go down–at least until it reaches the Supreme Court, where Anthony Kennedy will decide for 20 million American homos what they can or cannot do.  I never really thought about it, but the courts really are a bad forum for the bad guys.  They aren’t permitted to [...]

I don’t think Ted Olson, Sept. 11 widower and chief counsel for the winning side in Bush v. Gore, is out to torpedo gay rights by intentionally throwing the set, if you will.  He’s not hoping for a premature Supreme Court decision that hinges on dubiously decent country club Republican Anthony Kennedy voting with the [...]

In its entirety.  Ready?  Go!
You’re probably not gay, dude.  You’re probably a pedophile.  As in:
But then my eyes lowered and I became transfixed by the sight of the boy’s tiny pink fingers gripping his father’s huge, workman-like fist. And I almost wanted to burst into song.
(I know, sexuality is fluid, people should do what they [...]

This is a little sad, of course.  This woman is well-spoken, composed, and did all she could to plead her case–where she is indisputably in the right–only to hear a pat reply and the further humiliation of sporadic and unnecessary applause.  I can only imagine that she left the forum feeling more frustrated than ever, [...]

Time and again, I’m amazed at the right.  They’re simply better than the Left at just about everything, and they don’t agonize over process.  (I know I write some permutation of these words almost daily, but if there were 60 Republican senators, all talk of bipartisanship would evaporate and America would start to look very [...]

ZOMG, ZOMG, ZOMG, WTF.  This is vomitorious and hilariawful and just plain embarrassing.
Although I want to restrain myself from making unprovable claims that subtly reinforce just how great I not-so-secretly think I am, in my as-yet unpublished book’s first chapter the characters lament how myopic the New York Times is and how they can’t write [...]

When Ned Lamont beat Joe Lieberman in the 2006 Connecticut Senate primary, a lot of that was due to Lieberman being a sanctimonious, warmongering douche.  But there was also a mobile sculpture that dogged him at events, called “The Kiss,” in reference to a supposed incident where Bush planted one on him, maybe at the [...]

Seriously.  Who buys this? If someone built a toxic waste facility in the South Bronx that cost $210 million, that’s the same amount of money, and some steadier jobs thrown in on top.  Similarly, if you tear down Bushwick, Brooklyn and build a park, you will cause undue consternation and extract lots of money from [...]

I said the other day that it would be annoying if people with nationally prominent perches expressed shock that Iowa’s letting the fags enshrine their faggotry.
Surprise!  Maureen Dowd comes really, really close:
California’s cool has been stolen by, of all places, Iowa.
White-bread, cornfed, understated Iowa was the first state to ratify the black rookie Barack [...]
