We are (briefly) back online

Getting internet has been hard here, since I've basically been in teeny-tiny small town coastal fishing village England. Also, busy going to shows. But now we're back in London, and the internet is working, and so I thought I'd check in. All Tomorrow's Parties is a brilliant idea, and so fun, and I just highly recommend going if you ever get a chance. They have numerous events a year, including one in New York that's headlined by the Flaming Lips.

Adopted Children for Choice

Brace yourself. Prepare to be more surprised than you've ever been. You may want to take a prophylactic valium before this one, because the pure shock may cause heart palpitations.

Everything You Believe Is Poop

Of course, the first thought I had was that many anti-choicers would probably tell you after fewer beers than you'd think about how they'd like to have seen many of these adoptees aborted instead. Then, I thought that may have been going too far. But I said it anyway. So there.

That This Is Completely Unverified Only Adds To Its Credibility

Yet More Dijon

So, apparently, the point of obsessively focusing on Obama's mustard choice wasn't that he wanted dijon mustard. It's that he wanted dijon mustard and it wasn't the lead story on every news channel in existence, which is a totally different thing. Conservatives are totally accepting of his mustard choice, they're just not accepting of the fact that his mustard choice wasn't used to destroy and discredit every fiber of his being. It's like "hate the sin, love the sinner", except with more condiments and less sense.

A 'Christian' sermon on the role of women - 'just shut up'

Blogenfreude sent this link to me, and said "thought you might have some fun w/it." When I clicked over and read this screed by Evangelist Phil Kidd, I thought it was a parody of one of the generally batsh*t preachers who send me random, bible-beating emails like Pastor Billy Ball of Faith Baptist Church in Primrose, Georgia. But it appears this guy is the real deal.

Another ad FAIL from NOM, this time in New Hampshire

Let's applaud the National Organization for Marriage for flushing precious dollars down the crapper on yet another ineffective ad. This time they are trying to put pressure on Governor John Lynch to veto the marriage equality bill heading to his desk. Here's NOM's Brian Brown from another e-blast touting "Our Trust":

Michael Steele, day 99: 'I'll give you empathy. Empathize right on your behind!'

WTF?! The ever-shrinking head of the RNC, Michael "MC" Steele, goes into faux-ghetto mode once again on the Bill Bennett radio program, further confirming his neutered status as the RNC lawn jockey.

Common Man Elitism

imageThe real story of "Dijongate" isn't that conservatives are obsessed with squeeze-bottle condiments that you can not only get at a grocery store (and are served at McDonald's) but instead the rather, shall we say...elitist way in which they approach the great unwashed masses of America.

Shorter William Jacobson

When I spend days obsessing over Obama's choice of mustard, and declaring that the media should cover it to break their fawning coverage of the man, what I actually double super-secret meant is that liberals are big faggy cultists.

Maine Gov. Baldacci signs marriage equality bill

12:45 PM ET: Just moments ago, one of my contributors who is on the ground in Maine, Louise emailed me to say that in minutes a decision was going to be made by Gov. Baldacci as to whether he would sign the marriage equality bill when it hits his desk. She was told to head right away to the governor's office to get the scoop. We just got the word and it was good news:
