More on Senator Feingold’s censure resolution
16 MarYesterday, in an interview for Fox News Radio, Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO) accused Senator Russ Feingold (D – WI) of “[siding] with terrorists” by introducing a resolution to censure George Bush.
Senator Feingold’s censure resolution seeks to hold the President accountable for authorizing a domestic spying program that clearly violates federal law and for misleading the country about its existence and its legality.
To question Senator Feingold’s patriotism and suggest that he is “siding with terrorists” by seeking to hold President Bush accountable for violating federal law is despicable.

Singing the praises of Senator Russ Feingold
14 MarSenator Russ Feingold is an embarrassment to the US Senate, which makes him an authentic hero of the Republic. So says William Greider of The Nation, in this opinion piece.
For the moment, however, let us celebrate the man. The club will try to shove him in a closet and forget his little unpleasantness ever happened. I hope they fail and other Dems are properly embarrassed. Amid scandals in high places, Senator Feingold is fresh air. The country should rise up and sing.
I am singing. How about you?

13 MarThis columnist is fantastic. His piece “Quoting Bible to attack gays is hypocritical” is brilliant. Then go here and see what he has to say about Fred Phelps.

FWIW: I firmly believe that the worst homophobes are self hating gays. I’ve seen it too many times.
