Paul Krugman's take on the public option.
Citizens for Tax Justice explains how the Bush tax cuts cost roughly twice as much as the current health care proposal. What's important here is that the rich just keep getting richer while the poor never really have a chance.
Due to the recent inclusion of gays in the Episcopal Church, ten Episcopal nuns (I didn't know there was such a thing as an Episcopal nun) have left to become Catholic. I guess centuries of pedophilia cover-ups are easier to tolerate than consensual adult relationships.
Maggie Gallagher, head of NOM, doesn't understand why the gays can't be more civil towards her, more "neighborly," as she tours the country spreading lies, fear and hate in an attempt to turn her personal religious beliefs into law.
Bishop Malone doesn't understand that there's such a thing as civil marriage. Or separation of church and state.
And neither Maggie nor Bishop Malone understand that their rhetoric leads to this - a man beaten by a group of men wielding bricks and screaming homophobic slurs.
But the best story of the day goes to the protector of all traditional family values, former (that resignation didn't take long) CA Assemblyman Michael Duvall. Apparently fucking two women - neither of whom is your wife - but one of whom is a lobbyist - is okey dokey. Apparently, as long as a man is fucking a woman, or women, it's all well and good. But two men getting married would be - what? - immoral? - against God? - destructive to the family? I would love to be a fly on the wall as he "protects" his two children while explaining what he was talking about when he recanted some of his sexual conquests into a hot mic.
Dear former Assemblyman Michael, take it from anyone who's ever done a musical, if you're near a mic, someone can hear you.
How long until he and not-yet-ex Governor Sanford have a reality show on Fox?
More tomorrow.
