He takes some number from a poll or any other source and twists and turns it in various ways. So, the big number for Ken Hutcherson this weekend is 1/10. That's the fraction of the number he was calling for who responded Friday to his call to demonstrate bigotry by harassing a high school that dared to allow its students to quietly demonstrate for tolerance. Hutcherson had made a very public and widely publicized call for 1000 "Prayer Warriors"...

LaBarbara displayed this pic of Chelsea Clinton at the tres gay Red Dress party from Willamette Week, apparently to shock his readers. After all, his readers might not realize that they could do that with plastic. The single-issue anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbara is notorious for over-the-top reactions to anything gay. Those who have the good fortune of not recognizing the name might (if you dare) check out the great coverage of his rants from the wonderful Good As You (G.A.Y.) blog . Suffice it to say, however, that LaBarbara seems to have a hair-trigger rant-switch, which makes him an effective...

Just got back from making my preference heard in the only bizarre way we're allowed to do it in this state -- at a party caucus. I've been to a few of these things before -- often just out of curiosity, but occasionally because I really wanted to cast that vote-like thing. Usually, you see, I've dissatisfied with the likely Democratic nominee and have gone to the caucus hoping to at least be able to register that dissatisfaction even if its a forlorn hope. Four years ago, I went to what turned out to be an enjoyable caucus to vote for anybody but Kerry -- even though it was clear by...
