• A Kennedy Stands for Justice, Against Vatican "Bigotry"

  US Congressperson and Roman Catholic Patrick Kennedy says discrimination against gays in marriage is "bigotry." The Rhode Island representative's comments came last week, after Pope John Paul II signed off on a Vatican document that calls on Catholic politicians to fight against secular laws that would allow same-sex marriage and labels GLBT relationships evil. Kudos to Kennedy for standing up to his church. We need to hear from more dissenting Catholic voices. God knows they are out there.

• And stop calling me "Surely"

  Surely this Democrat spokesman wouldn't be openly threatening political assassination- much less to a Kennedy clan member.
