Prop 8 trial: Whose side are these witnesses on?
Filed by Alex Blaze | January 27, 2010 | 7:30 PM |I'm struck, as I read about the defense's witnesses and their case (which is supposed to be finished today), by the paucity of facts they're willing to present. I know, I know, there really isn't much truth in the traditional...Read More

Transgender Comics: Trans Girl Diaries
Filed by Austen Crowder | January 27, 2010 | 12:00 PM |I love this comic. I'd like to put more words behind that statement, but that sentence is what it really boils down to. Sure, it's not the most artistically astounding webcomic I've featured on this column, and it's not as...Read More

No Poker Face
Filed by Alex Blaze | January 27, 2010 | 7:30 AM |The WBC parodies Lady Gaga's "Poker Face." They already ruined "We are the World" for me, but this song isn't much of a loss. Ridiculous. It would be a genius parody of the right, if they weren't 100% serious....Read More
