"It's a shame they don't extend the same efforts to issues that really matter, like health care and homelessness." -- D.C. Councilmember David Catania commenting on the issuance of a "declaration" Friday by conservative Christian leaders (aka, the American Taliban), urging Christians not to comply with rules and laws relating to same-sex marriage and abortion. Among the signees was Archbishop Donald Wuerl of Washington, whose diocese issued an ultimatum to the DC government about not passing a gay marriage law, lest the Church cease providing social services with DC tax dollars. So glad I'm not a practicing Catholic any more.
"How could they [WaPo editors] devote a whopping and precious 258 column inches of space to coverage of and commentary on former Alaska governor Sarah Palin - God's gift to the 'I'm- stupid- and- proud- of- it' crowd?" -- letter to the editor in today's WaPo from a reader in Gainesville, Va. So glad I'm not subscribing to the WaPo any more.
