“There is a sound conservative argument to be made for same-sex marriage,” Schmidt will say, according to speech excerpts obtained by CNN. “I believe conservatives, more than liberals, insist that rights come with responsibilities.

My sis and bro-in-law picked this out on Amazon (pre-#amazonfail) as a cute, from-afar way of announcing my impending uncle-hood, so I don’t fault them. But man, is this book creepy. Don’t publish your family therapy session, Cogan. Ick.

The LDS, which has been stinging since the evidence of their interference with the constitution of CA came to light, is now trying to keep a proposal for sanctioned civil unions for same sex couples in Illinois from getting out of committee and coming to a vote. There isn’t much time but if people who live in IL will speak up they may be prevented from using the...

I’m not trying to tell you what to do with your life or anything, but I will say that I think you’ll somehow become a better person if you read this book review of the latest Flannery biography. (Additional bonus, NYtimes-y casual mention of my favorite topic of the month: Yaddo!!)
