- If you can’t stand the heat dept: “The White House is leaning against having President George W. Bush address Parliament when he visits Ottawa, citing fears the U.S. president would be heckled during his speech.”
Well, be fair. In America, we have no tradition of free speech as the Canadians do. Oh, wait…
- I hope (and would think) someone’s gonna get fired over this dept:
Quoting from AmericaBlog: “The Washington Post yesterday published a magazine ad supplement, bought by religious right groups, that is one of the most bigoted homophobic things I have ever read.”
“In it you learn things like the fact that sexual orientation isn’t genetic. Why? Because if it were genetic it would have to be passed by gay parents who don’t have kids! Putting aside a number of holes in that theory, there’s the more general scientific point about recessive genes. My point is that this filth isn’t even scientifically correct, and the Post is publishing it….The publication informs you that gays die at the age of 41. Yep, all of us. “
(Blogger’s note: Well, you can’t blame them, there. They must have been watching film and television, where gay=death. Keep dancing on that moral high ground, Buffy fans.)
“What they don’t tell you is that this little “study” was conducted by Dr. Paul Cameron, an anti-gay nutjob who has even been disowned by the religious right (let alone he was thrown out of various medical associations). But does the Post have a problem publishing junk science that suggests that certain minority groups are inferior to others? Not at all!”
