- The Lebanese army disarming Hezbollah? Not bloody likely.

Nice job, Condi.

- Plato's millenial heirs can be found among some in the GLBT movement.

What makes me uneasy is a passage from a recent statement published in the New York Times titled "Beyond Marriage", signed by dozens of prominent gay rights supporters. They argue that marriage needs to be redefined to reflect a number of different types of relationships, up to and including "(Q)ueer couples who decide to jointly create and raise a child with another queer person or couple, in two households". (See here.)

If mainstream gay activists want society to not throw the marriage-rights baby out with the bathwater, they better step up and get these radicals to pull back on the reins a little bit or else they risk a major political backlash that threatens the entire movement.

Even the most pure of libertarians have limits.

- Vive la difference, baby.
