House Passes Bill Adding Sexual Orientation to Federal Hate Crimes List. Good news, yes! BUT...there is expected to be another veto showdown, as Bush has promised his right-wing loon base (those loyal 29% dead-enders) that he will continue to respect their assaults, murder, and discrimination as "freedom of speech" and veto the thing.

And in other news, the Secret Service has deemed it necessary to place a Presidential candidate under its protection (in response to threats)--the earliest in the election season it has ever done so. Guess who? Hands up, everyone who's shocked. *crickets*

These two stories are connected. Terrorism is terrorism--just as much from homegrown cracker bigots as when it comes from Amurkan-flag-burning Ay-rabs.

I think it's already well established that Bush values the Bible only as a source of propaganda slogans, and the Constitution only for its absorbency and gentleness against the Presidential anus.

Yes, Obama is the first African-American candidate widely thought to have a very serious chance at winning (though Jesse Jackson did win several primaries in '88) which means that he is Knuckledragger Target Number One. Gossip's had it for years that the reason Colin Powell never ran at the peak of his popularity is that his wife wouldn't have it, for that very reason.
