I thought I had made my home (landline) phone number unlisted, but I just got a robo-call from SurveyUSA. They are doing polling for the local (DC-area) CBS affiliate WUSA 9. The poll was centered around the '08 presidential election, and some of the pairings were interesting (including Al Franken versus Sean Hannity).
Just got my latest e-mail from Mr. Tony Perkins over at the Family Research Council, and the headline of the e-mail is "Homosexual Agenda or Bust!", and the picture included with the e-mail is as follows:
Tony's usually one of the more ugly homophobes of the GOP, but this seems a little over the top, even for him.
So the Republicans in the U.S. House stayed up until almost 2am tonight to give Paris Hilton some extra money (there's something funny about millions of dollars being showered on Paris Hilton in the dead of night, but I'll leave that joke for someone else to finish).
How much extra money? Try a cool $91,089,200.

The crew at PoliticsTV has spent the past week focusing on issues related to the federal marriage amendment [FYI: Bush's big Federal Marriage Amendment press conference is coming up at 1:45pm ET / 10:45am PT today]. Gay bloggers John Aravosis of AmericaBLOG.com, Addie Stan of AddieStan.com and Terrance Heath of Republic of T all came by PoliticsTV's DC studios over the past few days to share thoughts and rants.

I remember the first glorious time I saw the South Park movie when it came out in '99 -- I laughed for a good 3 hours after the movie was over (totally sober too). Anyway, for those who don't remember, one of the signature songs was called "Blame Canada", and it went a little somethin' like this:
Time's have changed -- Our kids are kids are getting worse -- They wont obey their parents -- They just want to fart and curse! -- Should we blame the government? -- Or blame society? -- Or should we blame the images on TV?
No, blame Canada! Blame Canada -- With all their beady little eyes and flappin heads so full of lies -- Blame Canada, Blame Canada -- We need to form a full assault -- It's Canadas fault!
