I couldn’t even watch a full minute.
Fox News, you are so pathetic.
Lou Dobbs, you’re such a sweaty blubbery...

“I apologize to anyone offended by what one prominent black conservative called...”
– Geraldo Rivera offers an apology that rivals all the worst apologies you’ve ever heard.
Basically, he’s sorry if you were offended by something that one other person — in this case, Thomas Sowell — said was right. Is this worse than Rush Limbaugh’s terrible apology earlier this month? I’d say it’s...

Starbucks was a great corporate citizen and stood up for marriage equality in Washington. Now the National Organization for Marriage, a conservative group, is calling for a boycott. I signed this thank you card, and hope my fans will do so as well. Let’s unleash some net power and send a strong message of acceptance and thanks. — George Takei

Rick Santorum on Dan Savage:
I would tell him that I’m praying for him. He obviously has some serious issues. You look at someone like that who can say and do the things that he’s doing and you just pray for him and hopefully he can find peace.

– Islam and the Future of Liberalism : Sam Harris (via apoplecticskeptic)
Agreed. It’s so easy, I think, for some of us to side on either-or, not if-and logic. I’m guilty of this—I used to [edit: sometimes still do] think the way that Harris is denouncing. Why is it so easy to...
