Welcome Back, Alan Grayson.
I'm glad for this win. I gave to his campaign in 2008, and hopefully he learned something from his loss in 2010 which was entirely his own fault.
In case you forgot, he ran a really misleading ad in 2010 which quoted his opponent totally out of context which was widely rebuked even on the left. (Including being called out on the Daily Show and Colbert Report.)

A Call to Straight People.
Wait, wait, wait. So horrible shit like that isn't supposed to bother me because I'm straight? So I can't empathize with her nephew or be aghast at her bigotry?
Come on. This is stupid. This has more to do with your personal ability to deal with interacting with a horrible person who is saying shit that bothers you than it does whether you are gay or straight yourself.

The Internet Is a Race and Women Are Winning.
This is some really fucking meaningless statistics.
You might as well point out that teenagers are online more than their parents. Oh man! That means what exactly? Nothing because they're spending it all on reddit and Facebook.
We're two decades past the point where "How many people are online?" was an interesting metric.

SL Letters of the Day: Campsite Rulers.
30+ year old straight men who go for 18-20 year old girls are often considered pervs and looked down on. Especially by women, but also by many other guys. It is not at all true that all straight people think it is awesome and high five them.
While I may look at an 18 year old girl and think "Holy shit is she hot." I don't think it's appropriate to actually date one, and nobody I know would be OK with me if I did it. (Especially my girlfriend.)
