You know what the world really needs? A good book about time. Google tells me there are only about one and a half million such books right now, but I think you'll agree that one more really good one is called for.

Religious right uber-nut Peter LaBarbera is quite distressed with the new HRC report on gay friendly companies. You see, they're all for the free market until someone sells a product they disapprove of or refuses to fire someone they regard as sinful. And I love this kind of rhetoric:

Not if enough people joined the movement (heh), Raven.
Gapminder is a useless tool for this since it doesn't allow you to graph the global distribution of pirates.
I guess the jig is up!
I humbly apologize for causing Global Warming.
I fix it in a jiffy, just after I finish being the cause for Terrorism.
No, no, no. It isn't feminism that causes global warming, it's anti-feminist backlash. Once men get started on how mistreated they are by those mean feminists they produce a LOT of CO2.
