NZ Students Must Sign Pledge For Same-Sex Dates
http://www.queerty.com/ nz-students-must-sign-pledge-for-same-sex-dates-20080829…

Some schools in New Zealand are allowing students to bring same-sex dates to balls, but with a bit of a caveat: they have to sign a gay pledge. Pupils are being prevented from taking same-sex partners to school balls unless they sign contracts confirming they are homosexual, a gay support group says.

SSarah Palin's made two political donations in her life. One to Alaska's Republican Party and another to Senate Candidate Mike Miller. On the first FEC file, she lists her occupation as a "housewife," while on the second she describes herself as a "homemaker." Both are from 2004.

Who the f*** is Sara Palin?
http://mcdevzone.com/ 2008/ 08/ 29/ who-the-f-is-sara-palin/

Sarah Palin? I’m sure he could have found a more experienced woman like Elizabeth Dole. McCain’s choice is such obvious pandering to the 20 or so disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters who haven’t come to their senses. McCain found someone already tainted with scandal and with less experienced than Obama.

If John McCain wins the White House he should make a woman named Michelle Rhee the new Secretary of Education (Obama should name her to, but as you are about to see, there’s no way in hell that would happen).

So Who Really Hates Women? Sad…you know you can’t critize a Democrat on their positions, speaches, or associations, because you’re either a racist, parnoid or a woman hater. When a woman enters the race on “the other side,” the presumptive Whiner-in-Chief’s campaign, who said they weren’t going to

Firing Up the Country
http://journey1000words.com/ ?p=1983

I was impressed with Barack Obama’s speech last night. Not only was he incredibly well spoken, but he named many of the issues that *need* to be fixed, like tax breaks, reducing the U.S. dependency on foreign oil and finding other energy sources. That’s huge. We aren’t going to see gas prices go down until we cut our oil usage.
