I think my favorite was the teacher who misspelled “America” on her sign.
Yeah, she’s great. If she can’t spell “America” I suppose expecting her to understand SEO is far too much…

Hey everyone, so the Maryland House of Delegates will be voting on the Civil Marriage Protection Act tonight some time after 5. I urge everyone to Contact their legislator, and flood their inbox with emails telling them to vote in support of gay marriage in Maryland.

katharineelizabeth replied to your post: Komen Quietly Stops Funding Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Komen is questionable. Their deal with Yoplait and the pink-lid campaign is interesting because it encourages people to buy the yogurt to help fund cancer research— the same yogurt that is packed chemicals that are now being linked to cancer….
Yes, very valid point.

Komen Quietly Stops Funding Embryonic Stem Cell...
Komen, in its listing of grants for 2011, lists two stem cell studies that do not involve the use of embryonic stem cells.
From the Free Republic
I’m wondering if they even take their mission seriously anymore. To learn more about why embryonic stem cells are important, check out this FAQ put together by the University of Michigan.

But three sources with direct knowledge of the Komen decision-making process told me that the rule was adopted in order to create an excuse to cut-off Planned Parenthood. (Komen gives out grants to roughly 2,000 organizations, and the new “no-investigations” rule applies to only one so far.) The decision to create a rule that would cut funding to Planned Parenthood, according to...

My response to the brainwashed child
A 14 year old (well, her father) posted a video appeal to Maryland legislators today, asking them not to legalize same sex marriage. I will not post the video, they don’t need any more hits, but I will respond, point by point. It borders on tragic - that parents are so willing to teach hate and intolerance to their children AND that their children lack the intellect to investigate and...

A short cooking rant.
Where food is concerned, there are few things more obnoxious than discovering the following “ingredients” in a recipe (this list is a work in progress):
Cans of condensed soup
Packets of dry soup
Packets of taco seasoning
Boxed cake or brownie mix
Blocks of cream cheese*
Blocks of velveeta
Jars of salsa**
Any ingredients you refuse to cook with/cringe upon seeing in a recipe?

Newt Gingrich=victim
Marianne Gingrich claims her ex-husband wanted an ‘open marriage.’ “He came to her and said, ‘I want to stay married to you and still have an affair with Calista, his current wife,” said Ross. “According to Marianne, he said ‘You need to share me,’ and she said ‘I don’t want to share.’

Joe-
I was beyond appalled by your comments about marriage equality this morning. (Video above, transcript below). Your words indicate not just that you lack any type of social awareness, but both an ignorance and irreverence that should be mortifying for your employer.
