Talk about a bad week...

Aravosis with a quick and effective summary of a forgettable week in the life of the American Religious Right:


First, the vice president endorses his openly-lesbian gay-activist daughter having an out-of-wedlock artificially-inseminated (we assume) fatherless birth, and then the House Ethics Committee tries to exonerate the folks who enabled a sexual predator by claiming that the enablers may simply have been trying to protect a known homosexual, so that makes it okay. In other words, the conservative House Republicans put gays ahead of kids. Add that to the fact that Rick Santorum, George Allen, Katherine Harris, and the rest of the religious right wacko brigade went down in flames either during or after (e.g., Bill Frist) the election. It's a sorry time in America to be a far-right theocratic bigoted hate group.
Plus, the congressmen they elected actually have to work now! And they're not happy about it!

For all they've attempted to do to this country, I'd say they're owed a few more weeks like these...but you've gotta start somewhere!
