Than look at ACORN. Yet, the hits just keep on coming. There is another tape out from James O’Keefe of filmmaker James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles going to ACORN offices in an expose of the lengths to which ACORN workers will go to assist in setting up an underage prostitution ring. Here [...]

Recently, Vice President Biden reported that the Stimulus Program had created a huge number of jobs. If you have 41 minutes to spend to watch him - what the hell is the matter with you?? Oh, no wait - sorry. Ahem. I meant to say, if you have the time, you [...]

You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

I came across an article the other day, and was really taken by it, especially as it came out in the midst of the undercover videos by James O’Keefe, four in total thus far, with more to come, which have gone far in exposing the underside of ACORN. O’Keefe’s staggering videos can be found [...]

The other day, I wrote a post about Proposition 8 being upheld by the California Supreme Court. In response to that post, faithful reader, SFIndie, made this comment, which I want to share with you here. She does, in fact, live in San Francisco, and knows whereof she speaks. Anyway, I thought [...]

By now, you may have heard that the CA Supreme Court voted 6 -1 to uphold Proposition 8, which bans same sex marriage. The caveat is that those who got married under the law are still legally married. You can click HERE to read more about it. Below is a video of [...]

Just when you think there cannot possibly be more hidden agendas with ACORN and the people who are affiliated with it, something else turns up. I stumbled onto this video while looking for something else entirely: I don’t usually watch Glenn Beck, but the title sure grabbed my attention:

I saw the following video Tuesday morning, and could scarcely believe my eyes:

(Bumped up from last week.)
I saw the following story this morning on the news, and was pretty surprised by it: One-Fourth of Overseas Votes Go Uncounted, Study Finds. Some of you may recall that John McCain asked for an extension to count votes in VA for absentee ballots requested by military personnel that [...]

As much as I loved the Oscars this year, and as much as I want to see Milk, I was pissed when I saw Sean Penn’s acceptance speech. Actors, as Americans, have the right to express their political points of view. And we have the right to separate their views from their roles, or not. [...]

I’m no economist and this is just my personal un-educated opinion, not the Noquarter management. But that’s never stopped me from writing about other subjects I take seriously. I take California seriously and sometime early this morning I awoke with a thought I can’t get rid of. California must be rescued at all costs.

As promised, here is the Ugly part of “The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly.” And it is ugly. Disturbing, actually. In all honesty, I was dismayed to see what some in the GLBT community are now doing. But I am getting ahead of myself. The article I read was [...]

To expect Obama to speak out against his minion’s boorish, often aggressive behavior? That’s my response to the following article, The Ugly Side of the Inauguration: Obamamania’s Mean Streak (and MAJOR H/T to American Girl in Italy for this link). The author, Mr. Frederick, had this to say:
Ironic that on Inauguration Day, when [...]

Richard Cohen’s sister is canceling her inauguration party because of President-elect Obama’s choice of Rick Warren to bless Mr. Obama’s taking the office of the Presidency of the United State.
According to her brother’s column in the Washington Post, what made her do this is the way in which Mr. Obama’s [...]

Seconds (1966)
Director: John Frankenheimer
Rating: 4 Ambien (out of 5)
On the surface, Seconds is the story of the myth of the ultimate male fantasy. Imagine The Truman Show voyeurism with the lustiness and self-loathing of a Woody Allen character.
Arthur Hamilton (John Randolph) is a successful but miserable banker, the man in the gray flannel suit who [...]

I hope Barack Obama sends a nice Christmas or Kwanzaa present to George W. Bush. Without the debacle of the Bush Administration Barack would not have had a shot at winning the White House. Widespread disgust over the war in Iraq, the collapse of the financial industry in September and October, and Barack’s [...]

How else does one explain the following?
Obama told MTV he believes marriage is “between a man and a woman” and that he is “not in favor of gay marriage.”
At the same time, Obama reiterated his opposition to Proposition 8, the California ballot measure which would eliminate a right to same-sex marriage that the state’s [...]

This past week was a big one in the ongoing struggle for equality. Yes, the Connecticut Supreme Court, by a one person majority, ruled that nothing but marriage would do to fulfill the letter of the law. Wowie zowie! Robert McFadden, in his article, Gay Marriage Is Ruled Legal in Connecticut, wrote:
A sharply divided [...]

Obama never had the support of the LGBT community. Indeed, 63% of LGBT Democrats supported Hillary Clinton during the California primary, while a paltry 29% cast their votes for Barack Obama. I imagine LGBT support for Clinton was equally strong in other states, for according to a poll conducted last November, this constituency [...]
