Waiting for a presidential frontrunner with the balls to stand up for same-sex marriage? Keep waiting. Obama, Clinton, and, yes, Edwards all waffled their way out of marriage equality at last night’s HRC and Logo debate. Kucinich and Gravel voiced their support, but dumb Bill Richardson opened his big dumb mouth and said he believes homosexuality is a choice. Go Democrats. Sigh.

Rescuers could reach six miners trapped in a Utah cave today, but the outlook is grim. There’s been no sound from the workers, and rescuers haven’t detected any carbon dioxide, which the miners would be exhaling—if they were breathing.

Pearl Jam fans are outraged—as outraged as aging, fat, former jocks can get—that AT&T censored anti-Bush lyrics during a webcast on Sunday.

When people ask why the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to rage on while easily attained, workable solutions are thrown to the side, you can always point them to someone like Ehud Barak, Israel’s defense minister (and former prime minister).

Rudy Giuliani continues to be the most embarrassing opportunist in American history, by saying of the 9/11 rescue workers, “I’m one of them.” Turns out, the actual rescue workers are less than thrilled that Giuliani is comparing a handful of speeches at ground zero to months and months of sifting through rubble looking for bodies.

Lastly, it looks like one of the editors at the Oregonian may have joined Oregonians For Immigration Reform recently.
