This is my own little soapbox. Disclaimer: It is not written by someone you think you know, but by her evil twin. Absolutely nothing said here is true. Everything, including the last statement, is a complete work of fiction. This blog is completely boring, and includes entries on when I last washed my dishes, how many pairs of socks I've crocheted, and the occasional rant. These are not the droids you're looking for. Move along.

Intolerance And Hatred Make For A Scary World
Things like this should be required reading. (It's a quick read... please do. Of course, it's likely not my readers who are the ones who really need to read this. At least, I hope not.)
Thanks for posting this Andrea. With me, you are preaching to the choir, but it scares the hell out of me how some people think and have the opportunity to "share" with us their thoughts as representatives of the US.
How can anyone say in one breath "I'm not gay bashing" and "the homosexual agenda is a worse threat than terrorism"? And how can someone like this be elected to any public office, much less a statewide one? I do not understand.
Sadly, from my experience in the South, there are places where her opinion is not that unusual. From your profile, lucia, you're in Massachusetts, which I think tends to be a much more progressive state than those in the South and more rural ones. (Note: I'm not saying everyone in rural and southern states are nuts, but that there is a higher proportion of nuts in these places.) Between voter apathy, not getting to know your representatives well enough, and thinking "well, I don't agree with them on this, but I like their stands on other things"... that's how they get elected. :(

Tucker is terrific.
