Oh, Bother
A couple of things really bother me about the whole Mary Cheney issue left over from the last debate.
One. Why isn't anyone taking Bush to task for his hypocrisy in the issue (Well, Kerry is a bit of a hypocrite on the issue, too--but Bush's intolerance goes much further and is more dangerous.) and for not realizing the human impact of his policies? Did he forget that he actually knew a gay person and could probably ask her if she feels she were born gay?
Two. On the same day of the debate, I wrote about this article on how homosexuality IS LINKED TO GENETICS. Hello! The question was "Do you believe homosexuality is a choice? " I understand that the candidates are busy and were probably unaware of the news story, but where in the follow-up reporting are the journalists (and bloggers!) referring to this and the other scientific studies that indicate that, yes, indeed, for most homosexuals, it's not a choice? Is this another case of the media burying a story so that they are not accused of promoting the gay agenda?
One other thing bothering me today is that I won't be able to see John Edwards when he comes to G'ville on Sunday. He's speaking at UF at 12:30! I guess the College Dems forgot that some of us lefties do still go to church. (Bill and I are teaching Ramadan to the Pre-K kids in RE class.) Okay, so it's probably more of a scheduling issue--he has to be in Tallahassee that evening, but still.
Have a good weekend, folks!
