Brian Brownshirt: Eating Mor Chikin Will Win The Election For Christians

“It was as if August 1 was an election day. Except the voters — people of faith, hundreds of thousands of them — didn’t go to polling places. They went to Chick-fil-A. And they weren’t voting with ballots. They were voting with their presence, and their wallets. [snip] But the public nature of Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day is different from the …

Concerned Women Are Concernstipated About Ryan’s One Gay-Friendly Vote

“Paul Ryan is a great choice. He has one little blip in that he voted for ENDA (Employment Non-Discrimination Act) a long time ago but voted right on the marriage amendment and supports the unborn. Plus, I get to pull back out my t-shirt from 2008 that says ‘Our VP is hotter than your VP!’ Bonus!” – Penny Nance, head …

Summer Streets NYC Via Helmet-Cam

Here’s a lovely video of Saturday’s Summer Streets event from the helmet-cam of a gay Irish ex-pat. I really dig the soundtrack by British electronica duo Mount Kimbie. The final Summer Streets for the year is this Saturday. Highly recommended just for the cityscapes usually viewed from the windows of a taxi. (Via JMG reader Michael)

US History: Romney/Ryan First Ever Presidential Ticket Without A Protestant

Immediately upon the news that Paul Ryan had been selected, I quizzed folks here and on social media whether we’d ever had a major presidential ticket without a Protestant. There was a lot of pondering, particularly on whether Quakers (Richard Nixon) are considered Protestants. The National Journal apparently doesn’t think so. In 1928, New York Governor Al Smith, a Democrat, …

No GOP Convention For Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin says she won’t be speaking at the Republican Convention, dashing the hopes of teabaggers nationwide. Not that she was actually invited, as far as anybody will say. “This year is a good opportunity for other voices to speak at the convention and I’m excited to hear them,” Palin, who was Senator John McCain’s running mate in the 2008 …

NYT Cheers “Seamless” Olympics

The New York Times thinks Britain pulled off a near flawless Olympics. The Olympics will also be remembered for what did not happen here. There were no security scares, despite hand-wringing about how vulnerable London might be to acts of terrorism. The serenity came at a steep price, one that could be measured in dollars — roughly $1.5 billion was …
