Lesbian Teen Crowned Homecoming King

For days that begin with something crushing my esteem for humanity, thanks FSM for stories like this to help restore it. Two California high school students became one of the first lesbian couples crowned homecoming king and queen in the nation this weekend. Rebeca Arellano, a senior at Patrick Henry High School, was made the [...]

Rep. Trent Franks: Straight Marriages Deserve Special Rights

Nothing like a good dose of religion-infused stupid to get my blood boiling in the morning. Republican Congressman Trent Franks of Arizona says that straight marriages deserve “special” rights, and says that gay marriage a “threat to the nation’s survival.” In a radio interview with SPLC-​certified hate group president Tony Perkins of the Family Research [...]

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is my mother’s birthday.  Halloween baby!  Ain’t she cute?  Despite being tough as nails, she’s just as sweet as she looks.  If you were to visit the house, she would be sure to make some special food dish (likely from an animal she has personally killed or from a plant she personally grew), stock [...]

White House Pretending To Listen

The White House invites people to submit petitions.  A group seeking the legalization of marijuana takes them up on it.  Their petition is far and away the most popular one submitted. In response, the White House ducks, dodges, and, frankly, lies by misdirection.  They say they want to make science-based decisions, which is a great [...]
