Just asking: An unemployed, single mother of six children — all of them under the age of eight; one of them autistic — somehow convinces a fertility clinic to implant eight viable embryos into her uterus and gives birth to the entire brood. All of them are blessedly healthy. What response does t...

Supporters of the odious Prop. 8 here in California lost a court bid to keep their names out of the spotlight. Some have complained about being harassed and feeling victimized. The irony is thick and bitter enough to choke on. A federal judge yesterday told 'em no dice. U.S. District Judge Morrison ...

As I wrote in the previous post, the Prop. 8 protest this past Saturday, 11/15/08, was a success with enormous protests in every single state and nine countries.

Organizers estimate a crowd of 10,000- 15,000 outside the Manhattan Mormon Temple in the Big Apple. News reports are claiming 1000 (Fox, natch) to 5000. That's comedian Judy Gold in the second photo, whose sign reads: "Britney Spears, 55 Hours. Me — Never?" [Photos pinched from Joe.My.God.] It's H...
