Same-sex marriage, civil unions, and the resurgence of the semantic distinction

While his column is primarily interested in examining how elites in the press manufacture news to conform to progressive dogma, Thomas Sowell’s “All the ‘News’?” reinforces an important point that I don’t think can be overstated by those who oppose same sex marriage on non-religious grounds—namely, that the problem is not so much with the arrangement as it is with the attempt by activists to forcibly broaden the definitions of

Got TiVO?  [Dan Collins]

HuffPo dissident Greg Gutfeld’s show is hated by all the right people.  I don’t receive television (because it’s mostly like arguing with alphie), so I can’t comment from firsthand experience, but it seems it might be worth a look.  At least according to two three-timing media slut Jim Treacher.

There has been wall-to-wall commentary on Ms. Marcotte lately, and I can’t possibly follow it all, so if someone has already addressed this, I apologize. One thing I vow here and now–you motherfuckers who want to ban birth control will never sleep. I will fuck without making children day in and out and you will know it and you won’t be able to stop it. Toss and turn, you mean,

Mind Reader [Dan Collins]

From this article in the Guardian, scientists using new technology that gives real-time images of neural activity are able to monitor with some accuracy people’s intentions. Men everywhere are busted. In other positive news for women, soon men will have no excuse for not being able to read their minds.
