"Party Planner" does not appear to be a promising addition to the already bizarrely convoluted resume of Jimmy Gukert aka Jeff Gannon, former male escort turned faux-journalistic White House shill (hey, he already had the kneepads!) turned…what, exactly?  His "Bible Reading Marathon", held yesterday in honor of this year's National Day o' Prayer was not [...]

You know, people like Michelle Malkin seem to think that progressive writers like me who are reporting on the sordid gay porn past of CPAC's 2007 Hate Camp poster-boy Matt Sanchez are "gleefully" dragging this story out into the light, and you know, for me, that couldn't be further from the truth.  Last night on [...]

(via TPM):  Clearly the reprogramming camps are going to have their work cut out for them. The founding pastor of a second Colorado church has resigned [...]

"The right to privacy should not be the right to hypocrisy.  These people who want to demonize other people shouldn't be able to go home, close the door, and do it themselves."
