New DNA Evidence in WM3 Case
The best coming home present so far has to be this…. WM3.org
Free the Jena 6!
Free the Jena 6! This story of racial inequality and injustice is all too familiar. We have to do whatever we can to help these children. They are just kids, and their crimes were minuscule compared to what is being done to them – in the name of ‘justice.’ Yesterday was the national day of […]
Ode to Larry Craig
Awesome song about the latest Republican sex scandal, from Jill Sobule, Robin Eaton and Lorene Machado. It is really sad, actually!!
R.I.P. Jerry Falwell
Jerry Falwell died. I’m pretty sure it was drugs. He’d been on a downward spiral for a while, and was hanging out with Ted Haggard and doing tons of crystal and getting lots and lots of massages. Outcall. He just alienated a lot of people and was really fucked up and so nobody is really […]
Our Humanity
Whenever anything really bad happens around Korean people, that is when I would like to hide, go to Hawaii and eat spam sushi until it blows over. I don’t want to comment on it because I don’t want to escalate the situation and I don’t want to implicate myself in it. I don’t want to […]
Michael Richards
I don’t know about you but I am still recovering from Michael Richards’ racist implosion the other night at the Laugh Factory. I wasn’t there, but since the invention of YouTube, we can all be everywhere all the time. Richards’ subsequent apology on Letterman was removed from YouTube, pointing viewers instead to the CBS site, […]
Congressman Foley
What is infuriating about this issue is that the braindead homophobes out there will look at it as some kind of proof that homosexuality has something in common with pedophilia. It doesn’t but some people are just that dumb, and the homophobic are very special kinds of assholes. Rep. Foley is obviously a deeply troubled […]
Life After Death
Hey, our friend Damien is on the cover of the LA City Beat! Echols’s current attorney, noted San Francisco defense lawyer Dennis Riordan, was retained in 2004. He says: “The thing that led me to take this case was the startling sense that, in a death penalty case, there just wasn’t any credible evidence that […]
R.I.P. Steve Irwin
I was very sad to hear about the death of Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter. I thought he was an amazing person, who brought millions of people to a new understanding of nature. Through his brave work, he really helped the planet and the incredible creatures we share it with. His love for animals truly […]
Is it a lotion? Because it is rich like a cream.
The newest airport security regulations are having us reach into our carry-ons and pull out those essential toiletries, along with anything that can be defined as a liquid or a gel. It’s making everyone edgy and dry, with long lines of very dehydrated and smelly people trying to get through security check points in order […]
SC Sex Toy Ban?
Note: Margaret is on the road and away from her computer (she’ll be back on Monday), but said we should post this story: South Carolina state representative Ralph Davenport (Republican, SC) has proposed a bill that would make sex toys illegal in SC. If passed, selling them would be a felony in the state. More […]
R.I.P. Stanley Tookie Williams
I don’t know why it surprises me that they executed Tookie last night, but somehow I thought that this was all an elaborate staging for a last minute reprieve. It seemed impossible that they would put him to death, with so much public protest, with so much to say in his defense. If they can […]
