Literally. These pro-Prop 8 supporters say that if we allow same-sex marriages to stay legal, we’re just as bad as Germans who allowed Hitler to stay in power.
What is it with conservatives and shitty analogies and bogus metaphors? Obama is somehow a Marxist, and now gays are Nazis. Sure, the Nazis had [...]

No, this is not a resource for scorin’ some ladies. This is a handy guide for Election Day coming up in less than two weeks. Now, we already know which candidate we’re gonna vote for, but how about all those pesky 12 Propositions??
Here are the condensed arguments for and against each measure, as well as [...]

The singer of the Four Tops died Friday at the age of 72.
I think for years, I eshewed the music of the Four Tops because of this man’s voice. I preferred the refreshing sweetness of Curtis Mayfield in the Impressions, and the horny bleating of Smokey Robinson with the Miracles, to Stubbs’s rough, manly shouting [...]

This song was stuck in my head all damned morning:
I guess the guy who spearheaded this song was later in the punk band Masterswitch, who were also fated to clutter up tracks sixteen and nineteen of various compilation releases. I think I prefer this glam tune, which reminds me of an eighties Saturday morning [...]

Galco’s, the world-famous soda pop stop on York in Highland Park, is my favorite place to get Jolt Cola, Manhattan Specials, and the hottest ginger ale known to man. That’s why I was pretty shocked, and a little hurt, to walk in earlier today and see shelf upon shelf of this soda:
Could it be true? [...]

Reading this recent interview with Greg Palast, I have to come to terms once again with the grim but true fact that Republicans are rigging EVERY possible county’s election that they can in this country, using the political bulimia of binge and purge to make sure Dems’ votes don’t count. The Rethugs did it in Florida [...]

I have to admit, in all the hoopla about the debates and fires and stuff this week in California, I neglected to check out what was happening on the East Coast.
Good for them! It does feel like the walls against gay rights are crumbling state by state. The states-rights approach to gay marriage may not [...]

A plea for help from my Jewish friends. From Sarah Silverman.

For years, I hated Hank Williams, Jr. just about as much as I loved his dad! I mean, c’mon dude! A football rally song? A stupid smirky smile that looks like my grandma’s, and a dumb pair of opaque sunglasses that make me want to give you my license and registration? And ooooooh, line dancing [...]

The evildoing pinhead cromags who sponsored Proposition 8, the anti-gay marriage amendment that’ll be on the California ballots in less than a month, are winning ever so slightly in the polls. And this only happened after they put out an ad that implies that churches will be forced to perform same-sex marriages if the proposition [...]
