Hate crimes, banning 'Bruno,' marriage 'war bonds,' and other Monday midday news briefs

Hate Crimes Deja Vu - Hate crimes legislation will most likely be voted on by the Senate this week. It's a good chance that it could pass. But the religious right aren't going down without a fight.

If rejecting 'ex-gay' therapy is pro-gay activism, then no wonder Pinnocchio never comes to our rallies - Focus on the Family continues to spin the inaccurate NARTH study via an email blast.

Ban Brüno! MOVIEGUIDE® Asks Authorities to Stop Screenings of 'Pornographic' ‘Brüno' Movie - A rightwing group wants the movie Bruno banned. This group masquerades as a legitimate movie review site but don't be fooled. Check out this piece I wrote about it the day after the Oscars.

"Marriage War Bond" - 100 Dollar Bond - OMG! This is so ridiculous. Tell me again how the religious right aren't trying to profit from opposing marriage equality. And the reasonings behind it are equally inane. "Because every child deserves a mother and a father"? Every child deserves a loving home and that doesn't necessarily encompass having a mother and father in the home.

And now because everyone needs a little fiber in their diets, a phony piece courtesy of One News Now:

FedEx delivers the goods for transgendered - One guesses that One News Now isn't exactly happy over this development.

"'Government has a duty to protect the community, especially vulnerable children and underage teenagers, from this kind of pornographic material,' he concluded."

But...but...but...I thought government was the PROBLEM!!! Don't we want government staying out of our lives, out of our children's lives (i.e. education), out of the lives of law-abiding, God-fearing Americans (i.e. 2nd amendment, which is apparently much, much more holy than the 1st -- is this some numerology-type thing??), so that induhviduals, especially those with lots of money who vote Republican, can trickle it on down to the humble common folk, who are completely misunderstood by the Beltway Elites?

...or was I out sick the day they covered that?
