Dance Music Origins

Saturday, August 30th, 2003

On the way to work the other day I was listening to Dance Mix CD # 847 (Actually think it was called “Circuit ‘99″ or something like that - but who can keep track) and was wishing I could find the original version of a couple of the songs.. There are a LOT of [...]

Alabama Chief Justice

GLAAD just posted this this media watch on their site regarding the controversy around Chief Justice Roy Moore and his precious Ten Commandments monument:

And with a Perspective on Gay Marriage

Monday, August 25th, 2003

I found this fun read from Alex Frantz at Public Nuisance. Following the logic of those using the Bible as the foundation for the definition of a ‘traditional marriage’ the following must also hold:

So first - the bad news:
Suspect Planned Priest’s Killing, DA Says
I’ve got truly mixed feelings about this. I don’t believe vigilante justice is acceptable in any way shape or form… Our system, while not perfect, is pretty damn good and everyone should be presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty. There was a lot of allegations against [...]
