I have been warned to retract "my claim" (actually not a claim, but who's counting) that SC is a sockpuppet.

I do so gladly, having no problem with CS -whose diary I originally recommended.

My only problem was with the Tucson Citizen columnist representing CS's diary as official dKos commentary.

Sorry if this offended anyone

Daily Kos says Rodney Glassman is out

Yep - that is the headline of the article in our local Tucson Citizen.

It is not an article by Kos or any of the editors here, of course, but a diary written by CS in AZ - who I suspect to be a sockpuppet of the Citizen columnist, but of course i can't know that for sure.

I live in Arizona. I am about to go to the supermarket. I will make sure I have my wallet, credit card and of course my .380 (with laser sighting).

I wouldn't consider leaving the house without a firearm, because so many of my fellow Arizonans insist that it is unsafe and everyone should be heavily armed at all times.

The hysterical racist scapegoating in AZ continues to rise. Just when you think it has reached a peak, along comes Barry Wong, Repub candidate for Arizona Corporation Commission.

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, in a court case defending Florida’s ban on gays adopting children, paid Rentboy.com customer Dr. George Rekers at least $60,900 and perhaps as much as $87,000 for expert testimony in the appeal of the case.

Earlier today there was a dairy protesting the ACLU rejecting a donation in the Constance McMillen case as being "too controversial".

I was one of the ACLU members who was upset, and wrote and told them so.
They have been fundraising based on the McMillen case.

I had the most awful dream last night. I dreamed that McCain and the Republicans had won the election and had veto proof majorities in both houses.

While the defendant's attorney is speaking to the judge, one of Sheriff Joe Apario's troopers approaches the attorney's desk, examines her documents, takes one and hands it to a fellow officer who leaves with it.

Dear Congressman,

For the very first time I find myself writing to you in disappointment.

I want to emphasize that I contribute, support, and admire your work for your constituents in Congress and have always been pleased with your voting record.

I am curious - is calling someone a "pansy" an acceptable epithet ?

Or is it undisguised homophobia.

I know where I stand, but I am surprised to discover in a recent diary that I am just a whiner, at least judging from other Kossacks who recommend such usage.

First let me make quite clear that christianity is an ideology, just as socialism or capitalism or islam or buddhism is.

It is not inherent - it is chosen. And it has many adherents who believe in it - all to varying degrees - and who also pick and choose the parts they believe in. Good people subscribe to parts of it, evil people subscribe to parts of it.

Personally, I think on the whole it is an evil ideology which causes great suffering both to its followers and to it's victims.

But I'm not here to argue theology.

A highly recommended diary is "debunking" the idea that President Obama has dissed anyone when he appeared in California but doesn't have any idea what promises he hasn't kept.

An Open Letter from Lorri Jean - CEO of the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center might, if nothing else, refresh his memory about promises made and unkept and to all appearances forgotten.

I know that I am not alone in bemoaning the rightward drift of NPR, and nothing has illustrated it more than the selection of Scott Simon to host Weekend edition.

Today he read an opinion piece which repeats the latest in right wing attacks on gays and those interested in gay rights with a hearty sneer, and has for the first time made me angry enough to turn off NPR.

It seems, according to Simon, that people who considered Ms. Prejan ( Miss California) to be bigoted are just prejudiced themselves (against beauty queens) and "hear what they want to hear".
Because, as gay-rights authority Donald Trump states, she has "the same position" as President Obama.
