And in more bigotry ...


This time with an admirable backlash from Margaret Atwood, who is pulling out of a book festival in Dubai that cancelled the launch of a book because it had a gay character in it.

Do we see a trend here, people? While many of us are fighting for LGBT couples to get the marriage rights they deserve, others in the world cannot even bear the thought of acknowledging that homosexuality exists!

I am not amused.

And what about the story coming out of the Post:

The cartoon is very insensitive toward the people involved in the horrifying and very sad chimp attack. It certainly is in poor taste.

Also disgusting and absolutely wrong is the "stimulus" bill which will waste trillions of dollars of our money and hugely grow a government that needs to be drastically cut.

I could hardly be more angry than I am at Obama for screwing away so much money that we have not even earned yet. Equally terrible is his newly announced housing plan that will interfere with private contracts, free markets, and reward people for poor decisions.

What a terrible terrible president. He is going to damage our country deeply for a very long time to come.
