The outrage over Larry Craig’s conviction is still loud and strong. I find it interesting to see all the outrage on the right. Today’s USA Today highlights some of this. I am still baffled by the outrage over Craig’s conviction by some of the same people who came to the defense of Mark Foley. Foley’s […]
Reverend Ted has been healed! One of four ministers who oversaw three weeks of intensive counseling for the Rev. Ted Haggard said the disgraced minister emerged convinced that he is “completely heterosexual.” Haggard also said his sexual contact with men was limited to the former male prostitute who came forward with sexual allegations, the Rev. […]
It was bad enough when FOX kept labeling Mark Foley as a Democrat, but now the Obama shit is getting carried away. This is the latest, from a FOX affiliate of course: A news segment broadcast by Minneapolis-St. Paul’s KMSP-TV, also known as “FOX9,” shows footage of people marching with signs and placards supporting Barack […]
So images should be illegal, but someone actually pursuing a minor for sex shouldn’t?

She and her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe, are “ecstatic” about the baby, due in late spring, said a source close to the couple. It’s a baby boom for grandparents Dick and […]

Deborah Pryce yesterday declared victory over Democrat Mary […]
For wanting to be leaders, these idiots sure do have short term memory loss: The House Republican campaign chairman, at odds with Speaker Dennis Hastert over when Hastert learned about ex-Rep. Mark Foley’s come-ons to teenage male pages, was questioned Tuesday by an ethics panel. Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., would not comment afterward on his […]
Yesterday news broke of how Blackwell has taken a new low in his dead run for Governor. They are now (and once again) making claims that Strickland is gay and comparing Strickland to Mark Foley because of a former staffer Strickland had who was convicted of a misdemeanor for exposing himself to minors. One of […]
It’s amazing – the very person the right has been using to defend the actions of Mark Foley has died. No more details yet, it was just announced. Not much more out yet, just this: Former U.S. Rep. Gerry Studds, the first openly gay person elected to Congress, died early Saturday at Boston Medical Center, […]
I did a post last week trying to make the argument that the fact Mark Foley had to live a life of shame because he was a member of a party that would not accept his sexuality. In turn this life of shame leads down a dangerous road that can lead to the behavior that […]
