• Read about Sheri Dew, who will be opening the Republican National Convention with a prayer.

  In the recent past, she has made very confused comparisons between the gay marriage movement and Nazism. It's funny: She means to say that opposing gay marriage is the moral equivalent to opposing Nazism back at the time of WWII, but what she actually ends up saying is that supporting 'traditional family values' is equivalent to supporting Nazism.

  No wonder she was chosen to start off a convention to nominate George W. Bush for president... She's about as eloquent as he is, and as ignorant of history, too: The Nazis put gays in the concentration camps before they imprisoned the Jews.

  However, it's nice to see the RNC expressing its diversity: Choosing a Mormon over an evangelical is a good way to demonstrate the wide, vibrant spectrum of spiritual endeavour present in that political party.

  And in other muckraking arenas: I'm diggin' this entry by the freewayblogger. It's the Revolutionary War Veterans For Truth.
