No Questions, Questions (poem)
You wouldn't think Jerry Prevo would inspire poetry, wouldja? But this is the 2nd I've written b/c of him. Yikes.
Christianist, defined
I first used this term in the post “The new Carrie Prejean?” I’m using often enough that it seems helpful to break the definition I used there out into a separate post.
Christianist is a term I first heard from Atlantic Monthly blogger Andrew Sullivan — a useful term that to me conveys not Christiantity as [...]
Debbie Ossiander & the Christianist filibuster

Assembly report 2: June 9 public testimony
So yes, finally I have a little time to write up my account of last Tuesday’s public hearing before the Anchorage Assembly on the AO 2009-64, the Anchorage equal rights ordinance.
In the parking lot
I got there pretty early on Tuesday, June 9, first parking and walking over to the nearby post office to mail my [...]

Outside influence
Why are Mat-Su residents being bused into Anchorage to testify on Anchorage's equal rights ordinance?
James Dobson’s God is a child abuser, & so is Jerry Prevo’s
