Aug. 26: Is fomenting hate a Republicans election strategy? Author Dan Savage discusses (video: Countdown with Keith Olbermann) No surprises here. Islamic jihad is the greatest anti-gay force in the world? Really? Don’t think so. Come on. Don’t make me state the obvious. I’ll be willing to forgive Ken Mehlman when the Jews get around [...]

“The GLBT community and its allies owe no thanks, no support, no loyalty to Ken Mehlman. As a leader of the team that kept George W. Bush politically afloat in the middle of the decade, Mehlman bears heavy responsibility for the tactics used toward that end. Mehlman worked to re-elect a president who used the [...]

Canada is warming up to those who’ve decided Don’t Ask, Won’t Serve is a rational attitude when it comes to the bogus wars kicked off by former US President George W Bush and still going strong under his successor, Barack Obama: Non-binding resolutions urging that U.S. military deserters be allowed to stay in Canada were [...]

President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, is exactly like Harriet Miers except for the dumb part (video: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) Remember back when the Kool-Aid downing Republicans, the chicken hawks, the neo-cons and the bleeding theo-cons spent eight, long, disasterous years rallying ’round their Shrub while obnoxiously proclaiming that the war [...]

My concept of George W Bush’s dream Supreme Court (all montages: Mike Tidmus, from the Tidmus Archives) The brouhaha surrounding President Obama’s announcement of his latest nominee for the highest court in the land set me to recalling how it was back in the day when I was thumbing my nose at Bush and the [...]

Big surprise! Not. In the early aughties, Uganda was considered a model African AIDS program. Then it all went South.
