I walked into CVS two days ago — they had their Christmas items up. That's not too bad — sometimes they are out before Halloween. But you know what that means — the War on Christmas is coming. And O'Reilly's already started in.
Unwanted Teen Pregnancies: Blame Evangelicals
Sarah Palin's out-of-wedlock pregnant daughter isn't all that uncommon. In fact, evangelical teenagers lose their virginity earlier than most other demographics. Even after their sexual debut, evangelical teen-agers are more sexually active than Mormons, mainline Protestants, and Jews. And because they don't believe in contraception, they are more inclined to get pregnant (compared to other demographics). And what about these Christian … Read More
Downticket Gay Fearmongering In NC
TPMCafe looks at some of the downticket GOP ads, and how the GOP resorting to the same tactics as 2004 and 2006. The post references a mailer being sent out in North Carolina, attacking the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, Kay Hagan: I'm struck by the graphic. The guy kneeling. Is he proposing, or getting ready to do something else? Maybe … Read More
Come Again?
“This vote on whether we stop the gay-marriage juggernaut in California is Armageddon,” said Charles W. Colson, the founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries and an eminent evangelical voice, speaking to pastors in a video promoting Proposition 8. “We lose this, we are going to lose in a lot of other ways, including freedom of religion.” Source Can someone tell me … Read More
Abandoning Your Child
An infant found in a hospital bathroom, a newborn baby left on a family's front porch, a baby boy discovered on the grounds of an elementary school….These are examples of baby abandonment, a phenomenon that has attracted increased attention in the United States over the past several years. Statistics on the frequency of this are not available, but anecdotal evidence … Read More
9 Thousand! Do I Hear $10,000 For Big Fat Booty Dot Com? Anyone?
There’s an online auction this coming weekend of domain names. The entire list of domain names is definitely NSFW, so click through at your own peril. But it does sort represent a rather troubling view of our Internet viewing habits….. and I shudder to think how much these site domains will sell for.
Kiss The Girl
I’m still vaguely aware of popular songs on the charts, although typically, I’m not in that demographic anymore. When I heard of a song called "I Kissed A Girl", sung by a woman (Katy Perry), I knew it was only a matter of time before the moral majority heads would spin. And now that it is #1 on the Billboard … Read More
Shootings at Unitarian Church In Tennessee
You know, it’s both laughable and disturbing that pundits like Michelle Malkin can make their daily bread by referring to liberals as the "unhinged left", accompanyed by such adjectives as "deranged" and so on. When was the last time a disgruntled liberal started shooting people he disagreed with politically or socially? Ever??? It just seems to me that even at … Read More
Nudity And Food
Yes, they can go together. But I draw the line at "clothing optional" restaurants. Just not for me: The au naturel look is catching on at city restaurants, a Midtown yoga club and even a stand-up comedy joint. "We’re just more comfortable nude," said John Ordover, who rents city eateries for dinner parties with a strict dress code – no … Read More
Jesse Helms — Leader Against HIV?
What is Elizabeth Dole smoking? From the Congressional Record dated July 14, 2008: SA 5074. Mrs. DOLE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by her to the bill S. 2731, to authorize appropriations for fiscal years 2009 through 2013 to provide assistance to foreign countries to combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie … Read More
Comment Of The Day
HuffPo’s Chris Kelly, on the subject of the American Family Association’s recent boycott of McDonald’s for that resturant chain’s donation of $20,000 to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce: It feels a little like the American Family Association was looking for someone to boycott and it was just McDonald’s’ turn. They’ve already boycotted Sears, Kohl’s, Kmart, Target, Old … Read More
Watermelon Is The New Oyster
Doing my duty here, keeping you up to date on the latest sex advice: Texas A&M scientists say watermelon contains ingredients that deliver Viagra-like effects to the body’s blood vessels and may even increase the libido. Researchers from Texas A&M long have studied the fruit and found that it contains natural "enhancers" to the human body. "We’ve always known that … Read More
Michael’s At It Again With The Gay Thing
From Thursday, it’s Michael Medved: The act of sexual intercourse between a man and a woman is the only human interaction capable of producing offspring, and therefore enjoys recognition in every culture as the most significant form of intimacy. "Significant" is a nice wishy-washy word. Frankly, I didn’t know that we ranked various forms of sexual intimacy, in this culture … Read More

Michael Medved And The Nazi/Gay Issue
Seriously stupid: Germany recently unveiled a memorial to what the press called “the Nazis’ long-ignored gay victims.” Across the road from Berlin’s monument to Jewish Holocaust victims, the new shrine features a pavilion-sized concrete slab with a window through which visitors view a video of two men kissing. Ok…. This commemoration follows a longstanding, misleading attempt to depict homosexuals as … Read More
