    Oh, the story clearly has flaws. I just wish you would apply that same level of scrutiny more consistently.

    "Almost all of this hyperventilating is rooted in some brew of abject ignorance, mindless alarmism, and ostentatious moral preening" ...

    ... is some serious sentence making.

    Got to love the Kentucky governor's rationale on why banning gay marriage is not discriminatory

    "In an argument labeled absurd by gay marriage advocates, Beshear's lawyer says in a brief filed last week at the U.S. Supreme Court that "men and women, whether heterosexual or homosexual, cannot marry persons of the same sex" under Kentucky law, making the law non-discriminatory."

    Kentucky: No one can marry gays, so gay marriage ban not biased

    Ever wonder where the word Kentucky came from? Meadowlands? Probably a funny Jersey joke in there.

    If she'd just had claimed that pyromania was a religion, she would have been fine.

    So is everyone cool with some Hoosiers starting up some websites listing employers who have gay employees and transgender employees so their readers can boycott these businesses?

    Is they are allowed not to serve these people, shouldn't they be allowed to organize boycotts of their workplaces?

    Tony, you do realize the governor is lying when he says the law wasn't designed to allow folks to discriminate against gays? Skeptical as you are I assume you naturally realize he is covering his butt these days and saying what he thinks will fly. Not even business owners, some Republican I assume, believe him.

    The governor was flat-out asked multiple times if the law allowed discrimination and he refused to say no. That says it all right there.
