First, let me say that as a resident of the District of Columbia I have no senator at all, nor a voting representative in the House, but I do understand how upset some Democrats must be that Scott Brown is the Senator-elect in Massachusetts. But the big loser yesterday wasn’t his opponent Martha Coakley, President [...]
I’m encouraged by a change of tone in the new Unitarian Universalist Association administration. Peter Morales, the new president, has been writing letters to his constituency without them being “pastoral”. This habit of his predecessor — who was never called to be the minister of the Unitarian Universalist Association; no such role exists — [...]
I keep going back to British Unitarian minister and blogger Stephen Lingwood’s latest blog post where he — following a threat on yet another blog — distinguishes between liberals, radicals and conservatives. Be sure to read it.
I keep wondering if the collapse of liberal religion has more to do with our sense of comfort in [...]
While people will (rightly) remember Walter Cronkite, I want to recall Henry Allingham, who died today. At age 113, he was the world’s oldest man and one of the last surviving veterans of World War One. He was also the last surviving founding member of the Royal Air Force, and in his last years [...]
The President claims he’s a “fierce advocate” for The Gays. Uh, sure. There has been too little action from the White House over LGBT issues — except for the much-discussed DOJ brief that seems like it was airlifted out of the last Administration.
I’m not keen to wait. American history shows that those who wait [...]

I knew this was going to be a stretch, but if I was going to take the new so-called “Google challenger” Wolfram Alpha seriously, it would have to get past its comfort zone of mathematical and financial data. And so far, the new “computational knowledge engine” — a term that’s a bit steampunk to not [...]
So Maine’s lower legislative chamber has joined the upper chamber to pass an equal marriage law. I hope the governor does the right thing and signs it. It would bode badly for Democrats if he vetoes it.
But really, I’m happier that the D.C. Council has passed a bill to recognize the legal marriages between couples [...]
First, let me thank my office mates to visited me or contacted me about the veto overturn in Vermont. It is good news that not only has a state legislature voted for same sex marriage — California did that — but was able to overcome a veto.
So with Iowa, that makes four states where Hubby [...]
If you missed it, please review Massmarrier’s latest take on the prospect of a Vermont governor’s veto of the marriage bill state lawmakers passed. In sum? Review the Iowa decision and drop the faith-n-feelings argument.
And a note to the Christian opponents of same-sex marriage: the under-30s are judging you and the faith based on [...]
