This video is really funny. It's a parody of Proposition 8 and its supporters by a slew of Hollywood stars including Jack Black (as Jesus), John C. Reilly, Neil Patrick Harris and Allison Janney.
How many stars would you give it?

Marie Cocco seems to be one of those people who will never get it. Well, not as long as it involves Bush, or anyone else she doesn't like. I guess she feels he should've denounced himself, claimed all of America's woes were his fault and his alone and asked for America's forgiveness. That he...

I knew from the moment I heard about what would eventually become Prop. 8 that it would succeed. Not because I am a hater or a homophobe, but because I am a realist.

Wednesday night at the Fox Theatre we (KNZR) held a Townhall debate on Proposition 8. I'd say there were between 600 to 700 people there. Most appeared to be Anti-8. That's fine and that's what was expected.
We had 6 panelists, 3 from each side. It was spirited but very well...
