Conservatives for Palin & civility: Fairly unbalanced

By Mel | Published: Tuesday, 16 February 2010

Is it really a good thing to be complimented for "courage" by a blogger at the Conservatives for Palin website? Well, mainly it's a lot of work. It's nice to be called courageous, sure, but even better is to be represented honestly and in context.

By Mel | Published: Friday, 9 October 2009

Accused serial rapist Anthony Rollins is an Anchorage police officer whose alleged crimes were perpetrated against at least 6 women while he was on duty.

Or are they merely showing up in Christianist solidarity?
