Which we didn't watch after all. I forgot I'd netflixed the remake of Halloween, and decided to watch that while there was still a whiff of the season.

Team America soon though. No, Isaac's never seen it.

John Aravosis (AMERICAblog.com) is a friend of mine, but I don't know what I feel about his new campaign.

Quote:

Joe and I are launching today a donor boycott of the DNC. The boycott is cosponsored by Daily Kos, Jane Hamsher of FireDogLake, Dan Savage, Michelangelo Signorile, Paul Sousa (Founder of Equal Rep in Boston), Pam Spaulding, Robin Tyler (ED of the Equality Campaign, Inc.), Bil Browning for the Bilerico Project and soon others.

It's really more of a "pause," than a boycott. Boycotts sounds so final, and angry. Whereas this campaign is temporary, and is only meant to help some friends - President Obama and the Democratic party - who have lost their way. We are hopeful that via this campaign, our friends will keep their promises.

STATEMENT FROM D.C. CLERGY UNITED FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY IN RESPONSE TO THE WASHINGTON ARCHDIOCESE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH LETTER TO D.C. COUNCIL

“Yesterday, the leadership of the Catholic Church made clear that they are choosing a cynical political ploy over their call to serve the neediest among the community.
“Members of the Church hierarchy announced that they will prohibit Catholic Charities from providing services to DC residents if the DC City Council decides to recognize all married couples as equal under law. If it indeed takes this step, the leadership of the Catholic Church will be turning their backs on thousands of DC Catholics and other DC residents who embrace all of our neighbors and seek to provide for them in times of need.
“The Catholic Church hierarchy is at a crossroads: they must decide whether they are in the charity business for charity¹s sake, or if imposing their will on the DC City Council and the citizens of the District is their primary interest.”
Rev. Dr. Dennis W. Wiley, Pastor, Covenant Baptist Church
Co-Chair, D.C. Clergy United For Marriage Equality
