Quote of the Day: Kate Kendall on Rick Santorum

I don't usually outright steal another blogger's post in its entirety. But I simply cannot improve upon it as is. So, full disclosure, this originated on Joe.My.God. Link below. And don't forget to Google Santorum!

"In the repellent race to the bottom (no pun intended) it should be no surprise that Santorum did so well in the Iowa caucuses. Mitt Romney is in a major stall, and in a field of class clowns Rick Santorum stands out as particularly cartoonish. [snip] Santorum's win is not a referendum on who he is as a man (inhumane and ignorant), or who he is as a candidate (pandering and mean). It is simply the gasping statement of a thankfully dying breed of Americans -- those who fear, loathe or hate anyone different from themselves, who mistrust or reject the idea that government can and should be a force for good, and who detest even the slightest exposure to information or ideas that challenge their world view."

 —Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center For Lesbian Rights, via press release.

Tuesday Night Roundup

They say Tuesday is the slowest day of the week in retail, and it surely was for Greenlee Gazette. But not for its editor! A full day of work, a night out for dinner, and an evening of card playing has severely curtailed my ability to post this evening. But there are a few newsworthy items to pass on, so without further ado. . .

• Our Attorney General was caught in yet another lie (er, ugh, misremembrance or maybe just incompetence. . .let's go with lie). Gonzales Was Told of FBI Violations

• Senator Vitter (R-Of Course) caught in some more potentially compromising positions: GOP Senator Vitter accused of frequenting even more prostitutes in New Orleans

• The Michael Moore vs. CNN story continues to develop: Moore accuses CNN of 'libel'

• Cheney gets a little more comeuppance: Panel moves to cut off funds to Cheney

• And, finally, Clinton, Edwards and Obama agree to participate in historic debate on LGBT issues

I'll try to post a little more before bedtime, but hopefully that is enough to chew on for a while. Good reading!
