I followed that show off-and-on, mostly due to a loyalty to Kathy Kinney and Jennifer Coolidge that I started questioning after this show. I can’t think of a single thing about that might have slipped slightly from anti-abortion dogma. It was a preachy show with wooden acting where plots included a conservative…

As others have said, it’s pretty much just a three day weekend... except that its also a holiday a lot of places have dropped. I don’t know how many but I know Hawaii initially didn’t observe Martin Luther King Day, saying there were enough holidays. When they started celebrating MLK Day, they took Columbus Day off…

Nah, if we ban abortion and birth control more women will know their place and stick with the man who got her pregnant, even if he’s an abusive shit. That way the kid gets a proper father figure, at least according to Jindal.

Someone give BGI a few copies of Lilo & Stitch.

We seriously need to make these names so familiar to pro-choice advocates that everyone knows them. They’re powerful stories of how there are some very real consequences from anti-abortion politics.

IIRC AOL’s old, short-lived video channel (I think it had a name like IN2TV) had repeats of Another World but none of the great episodes just the post-Anne Heche stuff, including the awful fake-Rachel storyline. I wish P&G would try to put those episodes somewhere, I’d love to rewatch some of Raven Whitney being…

I think that was the point of saying it openly. The guy was making a direct comparison to how Roe v. Wade didn’t end the battle over abortion and that Ogberfell wouldn’t mean the end of trying to deny same-sex couples equal rights... and the undercurrent was probably hoping the money spigot wouldn’t end. It sounded…

PPPS: Don’t be a leach and expect any government handouts to pay for food and medical care, okay? You heard about the Welfare Queen? We give you money for milk one day the next you’ve got a government-paid Cadilac to carry steaks you’re going to feed to some young buck, just like her.

Yeah, there’s a part of me rooting for these anti-gay red states to go ahead and stop recognizing marriages and suddenly find out the kind of pain and hassle it was for same-sex couples to have those rights denied. Then again, if its a state thing they probably won’t have the IRS messing with them, like any gay couple…

There’s a Joe My God post I can’t find anymore about how the “family” groups hope they can get incremental wins that total to a lot against marriage-equality. “Religious freedom” bills are the first step but they hope they can have the kind of success they had in restricting abortion access.

I’m kinda mixed about the book shelving. On one hand, I remember seeing the special fiction sections and thinking how much it much suck to have your work just by your identity. However, there were also times when I wanted to find a book where the protagonists were gay or PoC just to have a story I could relate to a…

By the end, yes. I loved Tara in the beginning but towards the end they just had her yelling and getting indignant at something. Too bad she didn’t stay in New Orleans with her girlfriend.

Too bad this probably won’t lead to Hollywood learning that Stonewall isn’t the only event in LGBT liberation history.

Some food banks don’t like to recieved prepared or unpackaged foods. If they’re going to serve it they want to make sure to prepare it themselves (I guessed, but they never said, that it’s a matter of being certain nothing got... added in the preparation).

I do think some of this is the result of the Beltway common wisdom is that the Democrats’ big weakness is all those “identity politics” that forces them to keep a fragile coalition happy. Part of that common wisdom was that to show they were serious about compromising, a Democrat should show they’re willing to hurt…

Hmmm, I’m wondering how much a series of sting videos on crisis pregnancy centers would have the right yelling about all the ways you can tell a sting video is fake.

The calling bullshit part is key, IMO. People who want to be considered centrists or “reasonable” spend too much time acting like maybe those anti-abortion folk might have a point or a valid POV. They got the Hyde Amendment and they keep talking about federal funding for abortion (banned by the Hyde Amendment) and…

Yeah but the media keeps telling me Kasich is the Reasonable Republican in the presidential race!

A Pennsylvania man who was convicted of robbing 10 gas stations, beer distributors and convenience stores in 2012 used the old “evil twin” excuse. 34-year-old Steven Felton claimed it wasn’t he who performed the robberies, but a nefarious doppelgänger. Clearly he’d been watching way too many daytime soaps.

Well, it’s getting a repeat tomorrow. (I think.) I know I saw a repeat on the schedule.
