You don’t have to be a Twitter user to monitor my feed. You can also read my tweets and see my photos by adding my Twitter name to your …

“How many times do people get pregnant from rape? It’s point zero zero one percent. It’s a joke. I read lots of articles. I know people, because I’m 53. I’ve know a lot of people, and I’ve actually never known anyone who got pregnant from being raped. And guess what? If I got raped, I would have the baby. And …

Pam Geller’s anti-Islam ads on San Francisco’s mass transit system are now paired with the above message. And she is LIVID: “The city of San Francisco condemns calling any group savage. I say we buy the SFMTA a one-way ticket to Taliban country, eh?” Earlier this month Geller won a court battle to place the same message on New York …

The New York Times has published a lie-by-lie refuting of Romney and Ryan’s RNC speeches. An excerpt: Representative Paul D. Ryan used his convention speech on Wednesday to fault President Obama for failing to act on a deficit-reduction plan that he himself had helped kill. He chided Democrats for seeking $716 billion in Medicare cuts that he too had sought. …

Australian electronic duo The Presets aren’t gay, but they do love to put a lot homoerotic imagery into their videos. They first came to my attention when they played Folsom Street Fair in 2008. Nice guys in person, too.

From an entry on Breitbart today: You knew it was only a matter of time before the gay community, which has successfully integrated gay characters into every possible form of entertainment for adults, targeted children. Now, for the first time, an American animated feature features an openly gay character. Laika’s stop-motion animated zombie comedy “ParaNorman” has a character named Mitch, …

Four years ago I wrote about what was then being called the first “gay honor killing” in Turkey. Now it appears there has been a second. A gay teenager was allegedly killed last month by his father and uncle in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır in a murder that the boy’s rich and powerful tribal family subsequently sought to cover …

The Liberty Counsel is telling their radio audience that the Southern Poverty Law Center puts organizations on their hate groups list merely for opposing same-sex marriage. This ridiculous lie has been debunked numerous times by the SPLC, who always points out that if such were the criteria for anti-gay hate group listing, there would be thousands of so-named organizations and …

American Atheists have removed their billboards outside the venue for the Democratic National Convention after being deluged with threats from God’s Gentle People™. “We are saddened that by choosing to express our rights as atheists through questioning the religious beliefs of the men who want to be our president that our fellow citizens have responded with vitriol, threats, and hate …

Eleven years ago one of the first things just-elected Mayor Bloomberg did was to order porn shops out of Times Square so that the area would be safe for “family friendly” businesses like the Disney Store and Bubba Gump’s. City zoning officers had long been stymied in their attempts to enforce a 1995 law which stipulates that a business would …

“We should sink Todd Akin. If he’s found mysteriously murdered, don’t look for my whereabouts!” – Karl Rove, speaking to major Republicans donors at an RNC breakfast yesterday. The audience, as you would predict, roared. Rove’s Crossroads Super-PAC yanked all of its pro-Akin ads after the “legitimate rape” scandal caused Akin’s poll numbers to plummet.

I am unreasonably excited about this. I’m totally not a fan of craft beer, but it’s unlimited so I’ll muddle through with assistance from my pork high.

Seriously. It’s $14.99. Move over Big Mouth Billy Bass.

Remember the Catholic priest who claimed that molested children were asking for it? His interview was yanked one day later by the National Catholic Register and replaced with an apology from the editor. Today the priest’s order issued its own apology with a claim that Father Groeschel is just suffering from a brain injury. Via Box Turtle Bulletin: The Community …

“There is no monopoly on becoming a millionaire. If you’re jealous of those with more money, don’t just sit there and complain. Do something to make more money yourself — spend less time drinking or smoking and socialising, and more time working. Become one of those people who work hard, invest and build, and at the same time create employment …

The Center For Marriage Policy has posted a flyer for their followers to deliver (in person, presumably) to the above corporations and stores. Promiscuity is a serious public health problem. Homosexuals comprise about 3% of the population but are disproportionately responsible for serious, fatal, and costly health problems for the rest of America. HIV and other sexually-transmitted diseases are spread …

You’ll note that the account of this incident on Breitbart fails to mention what Loesch screamed at these women. Code Pink took the high road, responding with “Peace and justice!” UPDATE: Here’s video of Loesch and her husband (on the camera) following one of the Code Pink protesters out of the arena. Mr. Loesch seems to think he’s really famous.

Think Progress reports: During a trip to Epcot at Disneyworld, Pennsylvania delegate Mark Harris and his wife were shocked and offended to find a Mexican employee working at the amusement park’s American pavilion, which showcases the different cultures in the United States.
