There’s just a few days left until North Carolina votes on an extreme constitutional amendment, and the race is getting closer and closer every day. And new research has shown a promising trend when it comes to public opinion.

Source. Bill Donohue is gonna scuh-reem. Snork!

“Like the classic case of the bully who picks on people because he’s afraid, deep down, that he is the one who actually is weak, it appears that these guys beat up others in the community to divert attention from themselves and to show that they’re down with everyone else who’s doing the bashing.

You may recall that last year Donohue blew a fuse because the Empire State refused his demand to light the building for Mother Teresa. According to an unnamed source in today’s New York Post, tonight 1WTC will be lit in her colors at a dig at the ESB, which it officially eclipsed in height today.

With exactly one week to go before the vote, North Carolina’s anti-gay marriage group is claiming that an elderly woman was “violently beaten” because of her yard sign. Older. Woman.

It devised a measure to enshrine this obvious discrimination in the State Constitution and placed it on the ballot of the state’s May 8 primary election — a test of tolerance versus bigotry that ought to be watched …

As of today, the tallest building in New York City is One World Trade Center. The milestone is a preliminary one. Workers are still adding floors to the so-called “Freedom Tower” and it isn’t expected to reach its full height for at least another year, at which point it is likely to be declared the tallest building in the U.S., …
