Turning black eyes blue? Not sure what to make of this PSA illustrating ways to cover bruises from domestic violence with makeup. Is this one of those times that we take the less-than-perfect because the end result is light bulbs going off? Or is this bullshit? Got blood? We’re having a blood shortage. But gay…
After an unscheduled bit of time off (my apologies), let’s get right into it: Boy meets world: Turns out, TV isn’t bad for you… if you’re a white boy. Anyone else — especially girls and boys of other races — not so much. Boys club: Former NFL defensive back Wade Davis came out last week,…
Mama’s got the magic… of Prozac: New study finds the stay-at-home moms are more depressed than either their working-mom counterparts or working women without kids. They also are more likely to report that they are “struggling,” angry, stressed, and sad. Study authors posit that this is at least partly due to the fact that most…
As if we weren’t already looking down the barrel of a barn-burner of a presidential campaign season, President Barrack Obama just raised the stakes today by becoming the first sitting US president to come out in favor of same-sex marriage rights.

(Full disclosure: The couple go to my church.)…
What’s that old Ice Cube song, “It Was a Good Day”? I think we progressives need an anthem for today because it was a good day! A federal appeals court has ruled that the Prop 8 ban on same-sex marriage in California is unconstitutional! This is awesome news and a big win in the fight…
Please don’t forget to sign the petition calling for the UFC to enact a code of conduct! Ever since the organization decided to turn a blind eye to a rash of incidents of rape jokes and references to sexual violence by its fighters and even its president, Dana White, I have been working to encourage…
Maybe it’s just Mr. Ass Juice Santorum stinking up the joint, but I’m really getting tired of the whole caucus/primary-thingy season. And we’re only through two! How will I make it to at least No. 5 (that’s Nevada)! Last night I found myself just yelling at the TV numbly, “Oh, can’t we just pick Romney…
Let’s look at the news circulating on the eve of the next big Republican primary/caucus (PS: Don’t forget that Nevada is 5th in the line-up, so things are just getting started!) (PPS: Confused about what the difference is between a caucus and a primary… or want to get involved? Check out Planned Parenthood’s training session…
