Think of the Children! Think of the Children! . . . and he did think of the children.

The Right Reverend Tom Daniels, pastor of the fundogelical hyper-right-wing gay-hating Rio Linda Baptist Church was, big surprise, a big-time supporter of Proposition 8 -- a cynical right-wing attempt to deny human rights to gay Californians -- and he is in deep, deep trouble.

Chicken Shit Sandwich

I like fried chicken.  Whether home made, chain restaurant, fast food or a local dive, fried chicken can be very good.  There are many regional variations -- from the spicy New Orleans style to the rich and bland Maryland -- but the chicken is good.

One Southern chain, Chick-fil-A (known for their humorous 'protest' ads), has damn good chicken sandwiches.  And salads.  And I knew that they were a right wing company but, unless a company has done something really egregious (such as Walmart's stand on unions and their refusal to support their workers), or supports and funds hate groups, I tend to shy away from boycotting a company because of politics or social issues.  Chick-fil-A has, for me, just crossed that line.
