UGH

I know it has no impact on his ability to give an invocation, but seriously, Rick Warren, REALLY?



Note that towards the beginning he stopped himself from saying "Christian" marriage in reference to all valid marriages. Let's face it, he is a bigot, and apparently, has absolutely no idea what Supreme Courts are for. Good to know that minority groups should all be subjected to oppression by the majority and that the Courts should have no ability to overturn unconstitutional laws. I think that it's a travesty that a secular right should be legislated by religious views.

Also 2% of the population is gay? Really? Maybe that's the portion brave enough to speak out on a survey, but I'm pretty sure that any reliable study shows that the proportion is quite a bit larger than that.

I'm so sick of the religious right's fear-mongering. I'm also getting sick of Christianity's overreaching impact on politics, but that's a whole other rant.

I basically want to be Elle Woods

I think that my application essay should be a video, like this one

Music videos!

I'm completely in love with this song:
The Fear video


Also, since I'm on the topic of music videos, I just thought I'd share my favorite ever:


Björk was SO GOOD in her heyday.

Jon Stewart is my hero


That's the type of argument we need.  Huckabee ended up sounding quite ridiculous and defensive by the end.
