Everyone's New Favorite Story: Black People, the President and Gay Marriage

One of my least favorite news stories is back! You remember it from the Proposition 8 saga. It's the one about black people hating gay people.

Santorum Sez: Going to College Turns You Into Barack Obama

As if that's a bad thing.

Rick Santorum, college graduate and presidential candidate, recently argued that Barack Obama, college graduate and current president of the United States, was a "snob" because he wanted all Americans to have the opportunity to go to college.

It was great. They chose Ron Paul as their favorite Republican, and Value Voters summiter Baptist minister Robert Jeffress grabbed the media mic to call Mitt Romney a "moral" man who happens to be a member of the cult of Mormonism.

Oh, well, THAT'S going to get complicated!

Eddie Long Is A Symptom of A Much Worse Disease

A cellphone picture of himself that Bishop Eddie Long is accused of sending to young men.Megachurch prosperity gospel preacher, Bishop Eddie Long was recently slapped with charges that he pressured young men into sexual relationships with him. Since the news dropped there have been comparisons to the Catholic Church and its many scandals involving child molesting priests and other sex related controversies. There have also been a lot of jokes (sometimes tempered with cries that sexual coercions is not funny ... and, honestly, it isn't). But the underlying theme in the jokes and the comparisons is the feeling that something isn't quite right in some black churches.

Glenn Beck Is Sorry About Calling The President A Racist

Several months back professional yak-meister and political hustler Glenn Beck took a break out of his usual schedule of crying and bloviating to accuse President Barack Obama of having a deep seated hatred for white people -- despite being half white and raised by nothing but white people, including his mother and grandparents.
