What's so offensive about two men and a dog?

I want to show you something. It's a picture of two men and a dog:


According to Canadian media outlets, this image sparked online outrage from the homophobic public.

What's the deal?

The picture depicts Scott Brison, a member of Canadian Parliament, alongside his husband Maxime and their dog Simba. Like many politicians, Brison sent this image of his family out as his Christmas card.

"The overwhelming response has been very positive," said Brison, an out gay Liberal MP from Nova Scotia. "There'...

What Have You Done?

Well, this is it. Tonight 2009 smoothly transitions into 2010. This is the time of year when we all ask ourselves, "Exactly what have I accomplished over the past 365 days? Have I made a difference? Have I been the change I wish to see in the world?"

On 2009's deathbed, there is yet chance for conversion. Anne Frank ...

Anyway, I had the radio on and she said, "What? Where are the Christmas Carols? Put on a CD."

I have one lonely CD of Christmas songs. It's choral music. I like it. Sweet doesn't.
