Courtesy of 33 collaborators who were attending the Sundance Film Festival, here’s a cute Schoolhouse Rock-ish take on the decision not to broadcast the Prop 8 trail. The message is that in world of live-blogging and Twitter, the words of bigots will be known. The video was made by HitRECord, which was founded by actor Joseph Gordon Levitt. (Tipped by …

Voting ends tomorrow in the Tenth Annual Weblog Awards, where this here website thingy writer is somehow nominated for a “Lifetime Achievement Award.” I feel like Betty White! In a good way!

Rick Warren says that bloggers “really need to get a life” and stop lying about him. And then he goes right on to LIE that he’s never compared same-sex marriage to incest and pedophilia.
