Blog to the Old Skool - yes, a lot of it is likely cheezy chipmunk techno, but it's awfully fun!

This is the reason that while I supported Obama, I never thought he was the second coming.

This is apparently an effort to "reach across the aisle", and one might argue it's better an anti-gay, anti-choice fundie reading the invocation at the inauguration* is better than one being appointed to a position of power, but it still stings. I think Ezra Klein nailed it when he wrote:

The tolerance Obama is asking for, in other words, is not from Warren. It's from the LGBT community, and women. He is asking them to be tolerant of Warren's intolerance. It's a cruel play, framed to marginalize the legitimate anger of those who Warren harms and discriminates against.


I would like for once to see an elected Democrat that doesn't feel the need to appease a hateful religious right that is never, ever going to be in his/her corner.

I'm still glad Obama's elected, I just think his feet should be held to the fire for backhanding his base.

*I won't even get into why there's an invocation of any kind at the inauguration.
