The "Hammer" falls
More on Tom DeLay stepping down officially as House majority leader. I mean, he isn't right now, but apparently he couldn't bribe the judge enough to throw out his case so he could return to the post. Oh come on, you thought of it too.
I never liked the Utah Jazz much myself - mostly because of crybaby Malone I guess - but now I can dislike their owner too. A movie theater decided to pull "Brokeback Mountain" after agreeing to show it. Look, if you want to be censoring, non-free will, group think bigoted asshats, you do apparently have the right to do it under the reign of W the First. That said, once you agree to something, have the actual stones to follow through with it.
In related news, how conservatives talk about the gay "threat" like Nazis did for Jewish folk. Scary comparisons, even if potentially taken to an extreme. Fascist pseudo-Christians: look people, if you can't handle raising your kids to acknowledge that people are just different in a myriad of ways, maybe you don't need to have children, ya know? You don't have to hate everything and everybody you don't understand. I mean, I don't even know what the hell I'm thinking most days, but I don't blame it on someone's race, gender, or religion to make me feel better.
Speaking of religious zealots, in England and Scotland it is apparently the law to pray in school every day. I know a lot of folks in the UK and have never heard of this. Why? Well, here's a reason: a recent study found that 81% of schools don't get around to fulfilling the obligation.
Contrary to what Cheney thinks, most Americans don't want to be illegally wiretapped by their president. What's scary is that 42% apparently don't mind. Idiots.
I'll be in northern Nevada this week freezing my toches off. Have a good week if I can't post from the road.
