Why This Is Important
Both Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com are selling a calendar by self-proclaimed “Christian Cartoonist” Joe King called, “I’m Not Gay, I’m Just A Sissy; 12 Months of Sexual Confusion.”
King’s cartoons employ outdated and highly-offensive stereotypes about LGBT people, and more specifically, gay men and transgender...

Okay. Guys. Guys. Two things.
1) I’m a martial artist. I’ve been studying since I was seven. I wouldn’t even hesitate to say that I’m good at it. I have done work as a fight choreographer for film, and I am trained in stage combat as well.
2) I’m a contortionist. Yes. Again, since childhood. I had to take a few years off due to some back issues, but I’m getting...

I ain’t saying there isn’t a right answer (there’s one thing which justifies his rep all by itself) but there are also a whole lot of wrong answers and if she gives one of those I will judge her.

In recent weeks we discovered BitTorrent pirates at the RIAA, Sony, Fox, Universal and even law-abiding organizations such as the Department of Homeland Security. By now it should be clear that people are using BitTorrent pretty much everywhere, and not only for lawful downloads. Today we can add the U.S. House of Representatives to that list, the place where...

The list is above. But note this TechDirt article, where multiple companies (including Gibson Guitar, D’Addario and Petzl America) disputed their spot on said list, with Petzl America writing a lengthy blog post noting how an association with the Chamber of Commerce got them on the list. Many of these companies fought for stronger counterfeiting laws involving rogue Web sites, not...
90% of American Media Is Owned by 6 Companies.

occupyallstreets:
In the early 1980s ninety percent of American media was owned by 50 companies. Today, in 2011, that same ninety percent of broadcast influence is owned by just six companies.
In other words, 232 media executives more or less control “the information diet of 277 million Americans,” according to the graphic.

Keeping Students From the Polls
Next fall, thousands of students on college campuses will attempt to register to vote and be turned away. Sorry, they will hear, you have an out-of-state driver’s license. Sorry, your college ID is not valid here. Sorry, we found out that you paid out-of-state tuition, so even though you do have a state driver’s license, you still can’t vote…

In the future...
…history classes will be told that the United States in the 21st century had an explosion of homelessness at the same time that there were so many empty houses on the market that banks were bulldozing them to save the expense of maintaining them. The most flattering conclusion about us that will be derived from these facts is that we were a nation of deliberate and intolerable cruelty.

Maybe there’s a legitimate law enforcement reason to strip a man naked, strap him to a chair, tie a “spit hood” around his mouth, put a hood over his head (see video at the link), and douse him with pepper spray until he dies. That’s what sheriff’s deputies in Lee County, Florida did to 62-year-old Nick Christie two-and-a-half years ago.
I certainly can’t think of any such...
