Tonight, I want to talk to you about the past, the present and the future.

Setting a human rights agenda for the United States will be an enormous challenge for Barack Obama and his incoming administration, with a host of failed Bush campaigns to contend with.

. . .While the wording is simple, the situation has quickly become complicated. One question: What happens to those same-sex couples who married prior to the ruling?

But the unending tide of Palin porn seems to me to be much more than pointing at a candidate and saying, heh, I saw her play flute in a bikini. Sexist?
