Super Bowl is finally behind us, but here’s some analysis on the Tebow-Focus on the Family commercial: He’s My Timmy, who almost didn’t make it into this world… and from the link in the commercial, DON’T KILL YOUR BABY! Ah, yes, the crazy was waiting in the wings. By the way, don’t fall for the [...]

First off: the Kentucky House has approved an In God We Trust plate. As you might recall, ROCK’s been at it to get a vanity IGWT plate for years—should this pass, it effectively kills ROCK’s fundraising strategy, and if it doesn’t pass, we’re spared license plate theocracy. A true win-win! ROCK also got more free press [...] The Courier-Journal drama with Archbishop Kurtz continues to unfold in reader letters, more reader letters, and even more reader letters. And the comments were many. Make your gay relationship [or gay-friendliness] known in the Census. The Obama administration has now banned bias over gender identity. About the Prop 8 lawsuit, which will be televised. New Jersey rejected gay marriage [...] It’s been a relatively good week for gay rights in the US: a gay marriage vote passed the DC Council, and Houston elected an openly gay mayor. In California, however, it’s big business to oppose gay rights. Here’s an interesting piece about biology, religion, and rights. Over in Uganda, the fundie bigot who proposed the Kill [...] Speaking of turkeys, the ROCK blogger’s at it again. Debunking of this post is here. The ROCK blogger followed up the first Oprah rant here. Since we at PAPER tend to be a little hedonistic, we’ve come up with a drinking game for reading ROCK blog posts—or anything ROCK produces! ROCK Drinking Game Rules 1 shot for [...] Here’s a cultural shift PAPER can get behind: an argument for premarital sex. It seems especially apropos considering some of the new fundie children’s devotionals. Evidence that abstinence-only doesn’t work continues to pile up—STIs are spreading at “soaring rates.” It’s an interesting week for porn. Sociological Images considers a new doc on the industry, and Jezebel’s take [...] Late in the day, the terrible Stupak-Pitts Amendment was added to the House’s healthcare bill. The amendment, supposedly in an effort to keep federal funds from going to pay for abortions [already covered by the Hyde Amendment and policy PAPER disagrees with anyway], essentially prevents insurance from covering abortions and participating in the new government [...] More on the sex offender ruling. This is an ongoing story—let’s continue to hope for policy that differentiates between violent offenders, pedophiles, and people who made stupid mistakes. Utterly awful: supporters of Scott Roeder, the murderer of abortion provider Dr. Tiller, tried to raise money with eBay auctions. Link includes pictures of Roeder’s drawings, which are [...] First off: Even TEXAS is admitting abstinence only sex ed doesn’t work, yet a clatch of those wacky Republicans just restored $50 million to fund abstinence only sex ed. Sigh. More Republican wackiness: the conservative women calendar. Also this week, old school conservative lady Phyllis Schafly reminded us that feminism is “the most dangerous, destructive force [...] … but your intrepid webmistress is most exhausted. Happily though, I come bearing many links today. HA! New Albany DVD, LLC v. City of New Albany, Indiana, No. 05-1286 may lead to sane sex industry regulations in New Albany, since the sex-negative reasoning will have to be substantiated. And that simply cannot be done with credible [...] |
