  2. People obviously don’t care if DADT is overturned at this point — the “it would harm esprit du corps” and “it would be a distraction” arguments are practically unheard of today.

  4. Those poll results are totally preposterous.

    Outside of a handful of states on the West Coast and in the Northeast, we’re being successfully attacked and having our rights limited or taken away all together in state legislatures, the ballot box and even the courts.

    Measures to ban marriage equality, civil unions, weak-ass domestic partner benefits, adoption, even freakin’ health insurance benefits have been passed 100% of the time. The remains of the Republican Party announced last week that they’re gonna focus on whipping up anti-gay hysteria as a means of returning to power.

    Most people don’t think about GLBT issues at all, and when they do, they’ll do anything, pay anything and say anything to harm us and our loved ones.

    Idiotic poll results like this help them hurt us by lulling our community into a false sense of security.

  5. Is it just partisan snark to point out that if neither McCain nor Palin was aware of how much money their staff was spending during the campaign, they would not have been any more responsible and accountable with the taxpayers’ money if they had won?

    Because the future of the Republican Party is going to be people like Sarah Palin telling us they can be trusted to control spending.

  7. First they outlaw magic mushrooms. Now they are closing half the pot shops and brothels. It’s a slippery slope on the way to outlawing drugs and prostitution. Before you know it, only criminals will be doing drugs and paying for sex.

  9. oh, nifty, me and 5 and 7 are the three E’s in a row, more commonly known as the Energy, Equality and Excrement equivalent. i love the three E’s, but i like turtles more. thank you Portland news for giving me my 15 seconds of fame, plenty enough.

  11. 1. Caroline Kennedy pushing for senate seat: “Thankfully we no longer have that old style dynastic politics,” said Beau Biden. “Change and a new way of doing things is just what we need!”
    2. Chavez: trying to legally get a third term thru legally amending the constiution thru majority vote of the people seems more respectful of law and democracy than that shown by GWB. Why is this a a story?
    “Breaking news: Latin American President Seeks Third Term, Emulates FDR, Greg Nickels and Michael Bloomberg” ??
    Why is Slog part of this anti Chavez bias?
    Unidad-

  13. Unpaid Intern news brief strikes again! I gotta avoid this blog on the weekends. The Chavez situation has been decided by the people that live there, most often–whoops–always–with an overwhelming majority of the voters deciding these issues. Sure he’s whacky, but he is the best thing there right now. They will not abolish term limits for the presidential office, chill out on this story Pickus–you missed the best news of the morning!
