  1. Ted Cruz seems to have an ongoing affinity for the hate-the-gays crowd. The justified focus on Trump's over-the-top lunacy mustn't lead us to forget that Cruz, too, is extraordinarily dangerous as a Presidential candidate.

  3. I'm surprised the LDS abuse of Navajo children hasn't come to light sooner. Maybe it has. Still keeping my fingers crossed for the CO legislation to pass.

    1. Donna -- The abuse saddens me, but it doesn't surprise me. At least the abuse is coming to light now.
