A pro-gay-marriage comment on a news story: We ARE all equal.That cannot be argued. If you are arguing it, you are inferior, and don’t deserve equality for yourself. and they say conservatives are illogical. I laughed, but it’s not at all funny to consider where this train of thought will carry those who insist on…

Which is the more wonderful name: Gussie Fink-Nottle or Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright?

I have been trying to write something about this for more than a week now, but there's so much I could say about it that I haven't been able to get started in the brief snatches of time I've had available. So I'm going to give up and just point you elsewhere. The topic is…
