The recession is bad and probably will get worse, but historical context doesn't scream Great Depression. Journalists, who are like steelworkers in the 1980s, can be forgiven for thinking the economy is collapsing--we're all afraid of losing our jobs--but the rest of you should know better. |

A D.C. friend told me that publicity-chasing attorney Gloria Allred, whose litigation took gay marriage out of the legislature (where it passed twice) and into the courts and who was quick to file a suit to overturn Prop. 8, gave not a dime to the campaign against Prop. 8. So I went to the searchable database and, sure enough, she's nowhere to be found. I tried every search I could think of. (Search yourself, and if you find her, I'll be happy to correct the record.) I guess there weren't enough TV cameras on the contribution site. |
