Some JMG Stuff

As our JMG comment threads frequently now reach far beyond 100 responses, the comments service provider has helped me increase the one-page comment limit to 500. (It used to be 20!) If you’d prefer shorter comment thread pages, let me know. And as I mentioned last week, I’ve just about reached Facebook’s (arbitrary) friends limit, so I’ve been forced to …

AC360: Rep. Jared Polis & LCR’s Clarke Cooper Discuss Chambliss Scandal

Tonight CNN’s Anderson Cooper discussed the “all faggots must die” comment left by a Sen. Saxby Chambliss staffer here on JMG, bringing on Rep. Jared Polis and Log Cabin head R. Clarke Cooper. (The same pair discussed the issue on MSNBC’s Hardball yesterday.) Tonight’s conversation focused more on the delay in identifying the culprit, although LCR’s Cooper once again attempted …

Sen. Saxby Chambliss Admits: It Was My Guy That Said “All Faggots Must Die”

The office of GOP Sen. Saxby Chamblis has admitted that it was their staffer that left the comment “All faggots must die” on this blog yesterday. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports: U.S. Sen.

My Interviews With Fox & CNN

Fox News commenters think the story is fake and if it’s not fake then I should be arrested for violating the privacy of a Senate staffer. Or something. CNN’s reporter just confirmed the details and doesn’t quote me. The story has also landed on the Washington Post and some progressive blogs like the Daily Beast and Talking Points Memo. Change.org …

“All Faggots Must Die”

The above comment was left today by “Jimmy” on my post about the DADT cloture vote. The IP address *appears* to resolve to the neighborhood of GOP U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss’ Atlanta office. The ISP is “United States Senate.” I’m confident that the JMG internet sleuths can get to the source. Here’s the IP: 156.33.20.72. Get busy, geeks! UPDATE: According …

That Day

(This story makes its sixth annual appearance on JMG today. On this day last year, I noted that 2009 would be its final posting, as ‘I just want to run this once under a president other than Dubya.’ Many of you objected, saying this post should continue to run every year. As you wish.) Manhattan, September 11th, 2001 That day, …

Click Away The GOP’s Pennies

While I try to do something about these GOP and teabagger text-generated banner ads, feel free to go crazy clicking on them. I don’t know what they have to pay-per-click, but maybe you’ll feel better for having had to look at such garbage. (Clicks don’t affect my end, btw.)

Here’s My MSNBC Clip

Thanks to everybody who sent the clip this weekend. Obviously I had a LOT more to say, but thanks to Paris Hilton and the Titanic, they cut our segment very short. But do check out how the LCR idiot tries to spin Ken Mehlman as a some kind of superhero gay mole working within the GOP. What a fuckload of …

About MSNBC

Well…THAT could have gone better. The host apologized to me twice, but they just spent too much time on that Titanic segment so we got what, two minutes? (She was very sweet to me, I should say.) But I had SO much more to say. Rats. RELATED: That Log Cabin guy is quite the tool, eh?

New York Times Compiles LGBT Bloggers’ Responses To Ken Mehlman’s Coming Out

New York Times op-ed editor Tobin Harshaw has compiled bloggers’ reactions to Ken Mehlman’s coming out, quoting Pam Spaulding, Melissa McEwan, and this here website thingy on the left, and the usual Quisling apologists on the right.
