"After much deliberation, I've decided I'm against bigotry ..."

What an embarrassment that we're still debating such stupidities.

I was expecting something like this sometime around December. Everyone on both sides of this non-issue have been making such a stink about it lately, I guess he was forced into making an unambiguous statement. Although I'm sure there was a lot of poll reading to see if it would do any damage to the campaign. Looks right now like it won't, and in fact may provide some cover. There's some story today about Romney having to deny bullying gay classmates in high school.

I saw a statistic recently that surprised me — 25% of gays vote Republican. I was guessing 10% tops.

Interesting profile in the Washington Post today.

Mitt Romney, as a high school senior in an expensive private school, led a mob attack of preppies on a younger student Mitt assumed was gay. The victim had bleach-blond hair and wore it over one eye.

Mitt and his buddies dragged the younger guy into a room and, despite his weeping protests, hacked off his hair with scissors, laughing at him.

The Post tracked down, interviewed and named Mitt's old chums, who now are ashamed of themselves and say the attack haunts them. The victim died a few years ago.

Mitt told the Post he doesn't remember any of it.

Unmarried teen mom and reality TV star Bristol Palin blasts Obama on her blog for making a mockery of the traditional family.

In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.

Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking.

What a bitch! Fuck that chick!!!

A number of guys in Alaska have beaten you to it, sorry.

Four years ago I signed up for texts from the Obama campaign to get a notification of who his running mate would be. Five minutes ago I got a text from them saying that if I am proud of the President's stance on marriage, I should make a campaign contribution.

How proud are you, Ted? Are you $100 proud or $1,000 proud?

The president is just playing the same game as every other politician in the wake of the Citizens United decision. This is exactly why we need campaign finance reform.
