“When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” Sinclair Lewis.
This frothing mob of theocratic fruit loops are strongly behind the Texan Titan, so they must think he's on their side. For all our sakes, you'd have to hope not. Mind you, they're not above hedging their bets: one of their number has cast a holy charm over Sarah Palin to keep her safe from witchcraft. So that's Michelle Bachman taken care of. Really Long Link
Multinational mania
Not content with trying to install ‘Christian Dominion’ over their own citizens, however, they are working at it worldwide. Uganda is in many respects a test bed for them, and the ‘Kill The Gays’ bill, which refuses to stay in its grave, is a foretaste of what they have in store for the folks back home, if ever they get their trembling holy healing hands on the levers of power.

Ugandan Homophobe-in-Chief David Bahati MP
The bill may have been thrown out by the cabinet but: "We can't say it is totally over," responds Long Jones, one of the country's most prominent gay activists. "I think this battle will only end once the Members of Parliament throw it out," he says. And chief sponsor and US infiltrators puppet MP David Bahati has vowed he will get the law passed.

Greece is the word
Elsewhere in the world some people have their marbles. Well, not all of them, but that's another story. The Greeks – who, given their history, you would expect to be in the Rainbow Column when it comes to tallying up pro- and anti-gay countries – have decided gays are just the folk they need to fend off recession and avoid paying their taxes a little longer. They’re mulling a same-sex union law to boost tourism. Really Long Link
It's all half-relative
Here in Oz, Bob Katter’s half-brother – or ‘my half-relative’, as Bob called him - singlehandedly crashed GetUp’s webserver. So many people flocked to sign up in support of equal marriage after Carl Katter’s emotional appearance on TV telling of the hurt and pain caused by his brother’s homophobia, the system went down. When it finally got back to work, so many additional signatures were recorded that it outstripped the numbers signing on to support ‘traditional’ marriage. You know, the one that allows 14 year old girls in Arkansas to be married off to their 30 year old cousins. It's all half-relative. Really Long Link
All she had to do was get her girlfriend pregnant
Penny Wong by Edd Aragon
And finally, Penny Wong is now everyone's favorite lesbian. And all she had to do was get her girlfriend up the duff! A straight woman has written a lengthy love letter to our lovely Finance Minister. As the guy in the Dilmah tea ad says, “Do try it.” One of the best reads of the week. Really Long Link The illustration is ace, too, so I stole it. Don’t tell anyone!
