I’ve been reading the syndicated Savage Love column for years. Dan Savage’s perspectives cut through people’s “ass-holery” attitudes and behaviors, helping shape them into confident, healthy, sex-positive citizens.

Now with the help of the Technologically-Savvy-At-Risk-Youth, you can hear Dan on his Savage Love Podcast. Launched on October 26, 2006, the weekly podcast runs about 20 minutes [...]

Mexican Migrant Workers | Your Jobs?

Mexican migrant workers didn’t suddenly appear from nowhere as the Bush Administration would have us believe. (What I can’t believe is that no one’s posted Lewis Black’s take on this on YouTube.com, otherwise I would have posted a link.)

Tonight’s episode of 60 Minutes featured a segment on mayor Lou Barletta and his highly publicized campaign against the influx of illegal immigrants in his town of Hazleton, PA.
