I really seem to put an inordinate amount of time and effort into this blog considering how little attention it gets, especially in the comments. *pouts*

• RedState’s Erick Erickson: Demagogic hypocrite. (But then, you already knew that.)

• Anti-gay Christians being deceptive? Why, perish the thought!

• Unintentional comedy: Why you should be very wary of getting a Chinese or Japanese-language tattoo in the Western world.
  (via The Agitator)

• Glenn Beck shockingly (for real this time!) declares that same-sex marriage and abortion rights pose no threat to the US; naturally, the religious Right goes bananas, accusing him of “abandoning core conservative values”.

• Could anti-gay activists know they’re losing?

• Remodeling International Blasphemy Day into International Blasphemy Rights Day. I concur.

• Peter LaBarbera at Americans For Truth About Homosexuality is very angry that Glenn Beck revealed that, no, gay marriage won’t turn your kids into aborted dolphin fetuses. Or something. Includes usual bullshit list of “what will happen if we allow teh gheys to marry!.

• Unbelievable (or almost): Homophobic jackass Penna Dexter ^[pictured] blames gay 15-year-old for his premeditated murder by another anti-gay teen. If anyone deserves to be thrown into eternal suffering …
  (via Right Wing Watch)

• More NewsBusters incompetence: Tim Graham claims News Corps’ (Fox News’s parent company) $1 million donation to the GOP was unfairly hyped by the Washington Post, uses an excerpt where he ignores context to claim that donations to both Republicans and Democrats are roughly equal.

• Finally, a college class to cater to my interests. (Seriously, though, it sounds neat.)

If you have any story suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments or send them in.
