KNBC in Los Angeles refuses to air and equality ad. Earlier, KABC refused to air the ad during inauguration coverage.
Personally, I think this is ridiculous, considering the amount of taxpayer subsidies this overratted entertainment product receives through publicly funded stadiums. I will continue my non-interest in the NFL.
Part of me almost admires this guy. A principal of a South Carolina high school resigned rather than force narrow minded beliefs on others and impeded his fellow citizens’ pursuit of happiness. Eddie Walker objected to the formation of a Gay-Straight Alliance club. Rather than attempt to block the formation or make a draconian decision and terminate all extracurricular activities, Mr. Walker took responsibility for his choice to follow certain religious beliefs. He realized choosing these beliefs made him unfit to participate in public education and withdrew.
Now we need many other public school administrators to follow his lead, along with a slew of pharmacists.
The Insurance Services Office keeps track of severe weather conditions that cause catastrophic losses to the property and casualty insurance industry. A catastrophe is an event that causes a combined loss of $25,000,000. This year Oklahoma had five of these losses. This is the same number of losses in 2006 and 2007 combined. Four of these five losses had biblical style events such as tornadoes, hail and flooding. These four losses also occurred after Sally Kern made her incredibly disparaging remarks about LGBT people. Is this a coincidence or did she manage to piss God off? I’m leaning heavily toward the latter.
Keep talking, Sally. Maybe a pillar of salt is next.
An excellent article written by someone obviously much more talented than me! Enjoy! I did.
