After the passage of California's anti-gay marriage Proposition 8, something shifted in the gay rights movement. The new normal now seems to be that anyone who is opposed to gay marriage for any reason at all is quickly labeled a bigot and a hater.

I fully support gay marriage but...

Orgasmic Birth certainly is a grabber of a title. Those aren't two words normally found close together in a sentence. In our culture, other adjectives are more common. Painful Childbirth. Traumatic Childbirth.

So it's no surprise that Debra Pascalli-Bonaro's film Orgasmic Birth has become the center of some controversy....

Seth Godin writes about business and marketing, so his newest blog post isn't about Prop. 8 at all. But maybe there's some deep wisdom in marketing.

I read Godin's post Two Ways To Deal With 'No' this morning and like most of what Seth writes it's quick,...

Apparently, Barack Obama meant what he said about our politics being too small for our problems.

With job layoffs and new miserable financial statistics being announced every day, how else can we explain the press and some Republicans being endlessly fascinated with the non-connection between between Obama and Blagojevich? How...

Usually the comment thread on a subject like this turns into a referendum on which late night personality people like best or hate most, spiked with the occasional person bragging that they don't watch TV at all.

I'd ask you to forget who you like or don't like for a...

Welcome to the hangover of slash and burn politics. We're gotten rid of George W. Bush. Karl Rove is reduced to a Fox News mouthpiece. The Democratic party will be running all three branches of government in just a few weeks time but the knee-jerk, over-the top-bickering that has characterized...

I'm tired of reading about the job layoffs daily while witnessing the lavish spending and bad decisions of incompetent CEOs. After watching the attitudes of auto executives change under congressional questioning, I decided to do something about it and started a petition.

To: U.S. Congress

During an...

President Bush, I realize that I may not have much pull with you right now but it seems that without Karl Rove around, you're kind of lost and sad. I saw your statement on the White House lawn today about the huge unemployment numbers and you looked like you wanted...

Anger, outrage and confusion spread through the progressive political community as sources close to Karl Rove began leaking a list of things that Rove reportedly likes. The list, emailed to The Politico anonymously, includes details that are disturbing to many longtime foes of the former top advisor to President Bush...

With all the party and media babble about who is better equipped to take over the Republican party in the wake of the bloodbath of the '08 election, it's impressive how deeply the pundits have been able to repress the memory of the Ron Paul campaign.

After all, compare...

Some of my fellow progressives are understandably gnashing their teeth over the sparing of Judas Joe Lieberman. They may find it ironic that Hillary Clinton -- who wrote most of the script for the McCain attacks on Barack Obama -- might end up as Secretary Of State if she decides...

Barack Obama won a historic and overwhelming victory. It's too bad the proponents of gay marriage don't seem to have learned much about how and why he won.

I am in total agreement with those who want gay marriage to be legal. They are right. Being right isn't enough.

Thirty days ago on warm fall day in Burbank, California I set out on this unlikely journey - to make one video a day about why I'm voting for Barack Obama.

So now I'm made all thirty of these ultrashort films and posted them on YouTube. None are more...

I just got this email from a friend of mine, Harry.

Just to paint the picture, Harry is in his late 40s and built like a graphic artist; tall and thin. He has two daughters aged five and eight who were with him when this attack occurred near Woodland Hills,...

John McCain is so darn mavericky that's he's put out an ad that says Barack Obama isn't ready....yet. I myself do not have the mavercikish brain to wrap my head around the maverickal implications of this, really.

But it does beg an obvious response. (Cue the scary music!)

McCain Palin Productions is gonna school ya on exactly what socialism is, where it comes from and what to wash if you get some on you.

Also - after you watch this please visit my YouTube page and watch my 30 Days | 30 Reasons I'm Voting For Barack...

Details are still sketchy, even to me. I am thirsty and I need a hug.

All I know is that I drove into the 'right' side of town with an Obama-Biden sticker on the back of my car when I was approached by thugs riding snowmachines. They said they'd seen...

Everyone has their own reasons for voting. These are mine.

I'm posting a new ultrashort video on YouTube every day from now until election day listing different reasons I'm voting for Barack Obama in no particular order. Please spread the word if you can and watch all the videos from...

Every day from now until election, I'm posting an ultra-short film to YouTube listing a different reason why I'm voting for Barack Obama - it's a project I'm calling 30 Days | 30 Reasons.

Here's my latest three videos. (The reasons aren't listed in order of importance or any...

I'm posting a new ultrashort video on YouTube every day from now until election day listing different reasons I'm voting for Barack Obama in no particular order. I want to mention another creative project along similar lines - 30Reasons.org is a group of graphic artists posting an original poster...
