Keeping my blogger burnout burning brightly!
There are some people who relentlessly believe that the opinions at sites like WorldNetDaily constitute facts, and RedState's Bob Frazier seems to be one of them: Is this country going mad?The text of the bill is here. "Mom," "dad," "husband," and "wife" are not mentioned, nor banned. Nothing about restrooms. Nor are the words "negative" or "alternative lifestyle choices" mentioned. These are WorldNetDaily's opinions about how the bill might be interpreted. Here are the relevant passages which seem to have especially irritated religious conservatives: SECTION 1. Section 200 of the Education Code is amended to read: Sigh. SB 777 appears to be a rehash of SB 1437 (vetoed by Schwarzenegger last year), which basically adds "sexual orientation" and "gender" to the list of protected categories. The same arguments were made over that incarnation of the bill, and I addressed them then, so rather than recreate them, I'll just repeat myself: I don't think government should be dictating the content of textbooks, because that opens the door for various identity politics activist crackpots to complain that something "reflects adversely" on their group.Why hold any "news" organization to any standard, though? Maybe people should just vent freely, and engage in whatever sort of demagoguery turns them on. I can't help notice that in last year's post I was complaining that the whole things was giving me blogger burnout. (Even the title was "An inside look at blogger burnout.") Well my blogger burnout is back! And this time, I'm so burned out that I'm just about ready to climb to the top of Brokeback Burnout Mountain and proudly proclaim my perpetual burnout to the world. (A good thing really, because with an election just around the corner only a year from now, I probably ought to keep the fires of my blogger burnout burning on the back burner.) posted by Eric on 10.15.07 at 01:41 PM |

Let me ask. Was WND trying to sell a book in conjunction with this "report"?
I used to correspond with Joe Farrah a lot. He hates the drug war and hates gays. I agree with him on one of those positions.
Since the war our correspondence has gone to zero.
