Ugh

This month's LJ header is so ugly. I'd rather have something generic.

Best thing that could happen in wake of News of the World phone hacking scandal

Everyone who was hacked sued Rupert Murdoch for billions.

Boggles the Mind - Michelle Bachmann's clinic tries to 'pray away the gay'

There's been a surprising lack of reporting Michelle Bachmann's racist, homophobic and plain idiotic statements in the press lately, but thankfully, ABC news reports on the clinic run by Bachmann and her spouse, who advocate that homosexuals be encouraged to pray so they can become attracted to members of the opposite sex.

Bachmann is no stranger to anti-gay rhetoric. Her strategist-husband last year said homosexuals were ' barbarians who need to be disciplined.'

Of course, this may just win her more of the right-wing vote.

BY THE WAY - Michele Bachmann signed a controversial pact Thursday that is anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-pornography, and floats the curious notion that African American children were better off during slavery than they are under the Obama administration.
