Republican Denial of the Nature and Existence of Human Sexuality Leads to Serious Consequences

The Old Gray Lady has definitive proof that it takes a Republican administration to increase the rate of unwed, teenage pregnancy in the United States. As proof mounts that teaching children abstinence only outside the bounds of a narrowly defined, orthodox Judeo-Christian, heterosexual marriage doesn't work, Republicans remain firmly committed to denying all these extra babies adequate education, nutrition, and medical care.

Editor of Ganymede's Ghost Is Old Enough to Be Father of Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Over 12,000 military careers have been cut short since we decided to allow gay and lesbian Americans to serve their nation secretly fourteen years ago. Apparently not asking is not the same thing as witch hunts that solicit unsubstantiated accusations from a soldier's piers.

Republicans Suffer Increased Risk for Psychologic Denial

Gallup has all the details.

Chair of FCC helps Bush-Cheney junta evade justice

It should come as no surprise that FCC Chair and Republican political appointee/operative Kevin Martin has refused to allow the FCC to investigate the illegal wiretapping of law-abiding American citizens by the Bush-Cheney junta. She's too busy making sure the parts of human anatomy that religious extremists consider shameful remain fully covered on the commercial broadcast and basic cable channels. If things were going as our Founders intended, Congress would step in to exercise some kind of oversight to protect our basic rights and liberties, but the Democratic majority in Congress appears to be paralyzed by the fear of appearing to oppose or question the Bush-Cheney junta's brilliantly fascist and fictional War On Terrah.

Republicans don't want middle class kids to have health insurance

George Bush is against government spending when it helps middle and low income families maintain health insurance for their children. He is in favor of government spending when it is to be wasted on a hopelessly futile, unjust war that he dishonestly misrepresented to a skeptical nation in order to obtain its assent to [attempt to] wage.

Fox promises to watch hen house more closely

The Post informs us today that the US State Department has issued a promise to monitor its Blackwater security mercenaries more closely as they attempt to ensure the safety of US diplomats in a hostile civil war zone with bullets. Blackwater corporation is privately owned by wealthy donors to the Bush-Cheney junta, which is why it comes as no surprise that security cameras will soon be installed in all mercenary combat vehicles.

Just because you're paranoid, don't assume a blimp isn't following you.

Because shooting animals that can actually run away would be too challenging.

Christoextremists Concerned That Fred Thompson May Let Federalism Get In The Way Of Bigotry

MSNBC has a story about Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson going to seek the blessing of some christoextremists who have hijacked and held hostage the national Republican party for the past dozen or so years. Tompson believes that GLBT folks are second-class citizens at best, and he believes in using the apparatus of government to discriminate against and financially penalize them. The only problem the christoextremists have with his position is that he does not believe the US needs a constitutional amendment to prevent the federal and state governments from recognizing the existence of gay marriages. He would prefer instead to tamper with the basic constitutional framework of checks and balances between three supposedly equal branches of government by enacting an amendment that would infringe upon the constitutional authority of judges to rule that laws violate the constitution. The best part is, this means all those states that have already approved the amendment to prevent government recognition of gay and lesbian marriages will have to start all over again with new campaigns of bigotry.
