  • Another Dash of Sanity:
    • Gay marriage now legal in Vermont (americablog) -- Now Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, . . . . Imagine all the heterosexual marriages now being destroyed in those states because gays can now marry. Why, I swan! It's a major catastrophe to all straight marriages everythwere.
  • Those lovable RW evangenitals - or, how lying liars lie - let me count the ways:
    • Apparently you have Rick Warren scared. He's lying again. (americablog) "So why did Rick Warren outright lie - again - twice - on Larry King about what he has said and done on gay issues? That's between Rick Warren and his God. Whoever that God is. Because if Rick Warren were worshipping my God, my Lord wouldn't be very happy about one of his 'leaders' outright lying, twice, to millions of Americans during Holy Week."
    • "We're not anti-gay, we're just . . . . " They proclaim this lie with a straight face even though the Mormon church has been deeply involved against gay rights in almost every significant gay rights election across the United States for years.
    • Obama gets it right: We are not a Christian nation. (washingtonmonthly) -- This is in accord with the Treaty of Tripoli, approved unanimously by Congress in 1797, stating clearly, among other articles, "Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries." Quick, call for the clean-up crew as RW evangenital heads explode.
