Wednesday, June 10, 2015. June is LGBT Pride month in many cities around the world. So as the rainbow flags fly along Market Street in downtown San Francisco, on the Social Conservative Right wing, something else springs up as well. The annual debate on why are Gay Pride celebrations acceptable but. "Straight Pride" celebrations are not. Should same sex marriage become legal down under. (hat tip to. Nick Jensen, who posed with his wife Sarah on the cover of the latest issue of Canberra CityNews. Setting ...

Wednesday, July 22, 2015. The Alternate Universe of Conservative Denial. 8220;For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.”. 8213; Carl Sagan. The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. After years of using the idea of LGBT civil rights as an effective wedge issue, the American Right Wing just can’t bear the idea that those days are over. Unable to accept the reality of a.

Monday, November 03, 2014. Wisconsin's Moment of Decision. Many of my friends are shocked when they learn that I, used to be a Republican. How could I, a good progressive Gay man ever have been a member of the GOP? The answer is found in a conversation I had one afternoon when I was thirteen years old. Then I got up my courage and asked if I could ask him a personal question. Governor Dreyfus smiled and said; "So is this an interview Dave? The former Governor of my home state then went on to give me the ...

Friday, April 24, 2015. Dear Right Wing Nutjobs. Here is why you are losing. As we get closer to the dates for oral arguments on the legalization of marriage equality before the US Supreme Court , the anti-civil rights conservative wingnutosphere has, (not unexpectedly)completely lost their minds. The brilliant Matt Baume over that the American Foundation for Equal Rights brings us up to date on the latest fun and frolic from the good peoples of Teabagistan. Then this past week three little news items po...

http://funnyoddthing.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. 2016 - The GOP's Gospel of Fear. There is nothing that scares the American Media more than a slow news day. So even though 2015 is not even one month old, the media on all sides of the political / ideological spectrum have all moved on to obsessing over the 2016 election. Show of hands… anyone really surprised? Politics in the United States used to be about the art of the possible. 8220;Dave, Dave… what are you smoking? I have blogged at length. If there is one clear theme that ...

http://funnyoddthing.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. Welcome to Indiana - Turn Your Clocks Back 60 Years. The State of Indiana is a quirky place. One of the state's better known eccentricities is the fact that different counties used to have different time zones. Up until 2006. Some parts of Indiana observed daylight savings time, and others did not. Then there is the state of affairs in Gary, IN. His first moment of stardom in the 1962 movie adaptation. You see, many conservatives inside the national Republican Party. Want him to r...

Monday, June 29, 2015. The Post SCOTUS Right WIng Meltown. In the wake of Friday's historic US Supreme Court ruling, legalizing same sex marriage across all 50 states, the collective freak out on the social conservative right wing in the United States as been epic. If you want a great recap of the assorted wailing and gnashing of teeth, by all means head over to Joe Jervis' brilliant blog JoeMyGod. Etymology: Middle French attaquer, from (assumed) transitive senses. 4 : to set to work on. Ok, so if we ta...

Saturday, October 11, 2014. Glimpses of a Previous Life. The recent court victories in the United States have made this year's National Coming Out Day something of a celebration in many parts of the U.S. Now more than 60% of Americans live in a state that has equal rights for same sex couples. Now the number of states that don't discriminate outnumber those states that are still trying to cling to bigotry. It was a look back in time that was more than a little unsettling. Yet at the same time a very ...
