"So let's not disappoint God..."

+Yes+
+President Obama issues and order to allow GLBT partners visitation rights.  A ridiculous practice to not allow this in the first place. 

 +"So let's not disappoint God," The rallying cry of Iranian cleric who blames loose women for earthquakes (see "what?" below).  Second greatest rallying cry ever, after Hedley Lamarr's (Blazing Saddles) "go and do that voodoo, that you do, so wellllll!"

+kudos to Willamette Week for declaring Kate Brown the Rogue of the Week for practices that hurt minority parties.  We need more discussion and participation by all political parties and their ideas.


-No-
-The Vatican, allowing a Vatican priest and cardinal to suggest that criticism of the Catholic Church and the Pope is akin to the persecution of the Jews.  Not even remotely like it.  Under.  Any.  Circumstances.

-Back to segregation.  A Mississippi county attempts to create "racially identifiable schools." Yikes.  The federal courts have stepped in, but the fear of a black or minority dominated school seems to be pervasive in America. 


?What?
? Coffee from as processed through civets and retrieved from their dung.  Heard about it.  My rule for coffee--no shit is involved in the process at any point.

?Iranian cleric suggesting that women are the cause of earthquakes.  Adds whole new meaning to "You make the the earth move for me..."

?A split between the Palin and Paul tea-partiers.  I've always wondered if these people would be able to share a tea bag.
