    ::: US Sen. Joe Lieberman, the independent from Connecticut who caucuses with Democrats, will announce this week that he will become the prime senate sponsor of a bill to repeal the military’s ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy, columnist James Kirchik reports in New York Daily News. Lieberman said he will work on repeal “as hard as I have on anything that's been important to me as a senator.” He is quoted by Kirchik saying that repeal of the law would fulfill the bedrock American promise of providing citizens with “an equal opportunity to do whatever job their ...

Okay, so I'm probably going to get in a lot of trouble for this, and it's certainly possible that I'm a complete idiot, but I do not understand this NOH8 campaign at all. You've seen these ads, in which luminaries running the gamut from Cindy McCain to Madison Hildebrand are photographed bearing the NOH8 stamp on their cheeks and duct tape over their mouths. The point is to show the range of people-- gay, straight, and related to John McCain-- who oppose California's Proposition 8 and support same-sex marriage. Okay so that's good! What I don't understand at all is ...

I have been arguing for months that economic stimulus is doing exactly what it was supposed to do. It stopped a Depression. Yet, for reasons that are unclear, nobody seems to be interested. It is like this recovery was a foregone conclusion. I can tell you that if John McCain were president the unemployment rate would be sitting around 15% as he would have cut taxes and done little or nothing to stimulate the economy. This is a great article for NYT: Imagine if, one year ago, Congress had passed a stimulus bill that really worked. Let’s say this bill ...

Since the far-right just loves, loves, loves public opinion when it comes to marriage, then perhaps it's time they start acknowledging how out-of-touch they are with the public when it comes to Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal: Homosexuals should be able to openly serve in the U.S. military, American voters say 57 - 36 percent. Voters also say 66 - 31 percent the current policy of not allowing openly gay men and women to serve is discrimination, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. But by a 54 - 38 percent margin, American voters say gays in the military should face ...

Senator John McCain has reversed his position on the anti-gay Don't Ask Don't Tell policy. Just four years ago he said he would vote to repeal the policy if military commanders said it was the right thing to do. Now fast track to 2010 and top military leaders are calling for a repeal but McCain is saying he is against it.Tell Senator McCain to follow the lead of military commanders in repealing DADT by using this HRC form. ...

It is not fair to the other senators trying to work on legislation never knowing when one of the 'olds' is going to come up behind them and offer them a hard candy. It happens. These people can't control themselves." Watch, AFTER THE JUMP... The Daily Show With Jon StewartMon - Thurs 11p / 10cA Few Gay Men & Women ...

1/27/2010 Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) issued the following statement in response to President Barack Obama's remarks regarding "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in his State of the Union address: "In his State of the Union address, President Obama asked Congress to repeal the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy. I am immensely proud of, and thankful for, every American who wears the uniform of our country, especially at a time of war, and I believe it would be a mistake to repeal the policy. "This successful policy has been in effect for over fifteen years, and it is well understood and ...

Here in Canada we won the right for same-sex marriage a few years ago, and queers are not prohibited by law from serving in Canada’s army. I wouldn’t say we have won the battle, however. Prime Minister Harper wants to re-open the same-sex marriage debate, and has launched campaigns targeted specifically at immigrants about restoring “family values.” The right to marry does not at all mean that we have arrived. It just means that we can show up!I have been closely watching these debates south of the border, as the fight to the right to marry and Don’t Ask Don’t ...

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!! Are you sick of Levi Johnston yet? I know, you're like, "Who? Remind me again?" Reminder: Levi Johnston is the shameless Alaskan stud who gave Bristol Palin that bad case of the pregs back in whenever. (Bristol Palin is the teen mommy daughter of Sarah Palin, remember? Running-mate of John McCain? That mean old man who ran for president that one time? Oh, right! Him! Now you remember!) Back to Mr. Johnston: he should teach a Learning Annex course in how to be a successful F-list pseudocelebrity because he will not get off my Google reader! Yes, he ...

By now you’ve already heard that David Letterman revealed yesterday that a CBS producer tried to extort $2 million dollars out of the Late Show host by threatening to reveal that he had affairs with several female staffers. In true Late Show form, the NY Post came out with its own Top 10 reasons Letterman came clean: 1.) He didn’t want the scandal to end up on Page Six. 2.) Why should Paul Shaffer get all the action? 3.) To steal the thunder from Sarah Palin’s new book. 4.) Ratings, ratings, ratings. 5.) With Leno out of the way, figures his only competition is ...
