Why Can't We Have A Straight Pride Parade?
Occasionally, when talking about sexual orientation in my Sociology courses, a student will ask “Why can’t we have a straight pride parade?”

Saying the cuts were needed to lower the national deficit, the House also reduced funding to the Agriculture Department’s food safety...

Underneath it, the driver had written “In the name of Jesus.”
First of all, that is a stupid bumper sticker even without the obnoxious addition they made to it. “It’s OK to pray?” Oh, thanks. I didn’t think that would be acceptable for me to do, but now that I’ve heard it from a random truck driver in Daytona Beach, now I can pray all the time and not...

Don’t you know?
Congresspeople aren’t allowed to be human. They are supposed to suppress their natural hormonal instincts in the name of serving a corrupt just government.
And most importantly, people aren’t allowed to take pictures of their own body. Duh. No one should. I mean, if we were allowed to control our own body, abortion and drugs would be legal already.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s ever present, camera-ready grin masks the strain of an embattled politician. His approval ratings rank at the bottom among the nation’s governors, and Democrats are poised to use him as the bogeyman of the 2012 election in a key battleground state. He...
