What we know, and what the bishops missed, is that religious freedom deserves more than a fortnight—and it’s about protecting more than the interests of a small group of men whose demands don’t reflect the needs and desires of the people they claim to represent.
An update on our story earlier today: New York State Senator Golden has cancelled his class to teach us gals how to get jobs. (Yes, I know, please contain your disappointment and act like a lady.)

I would say this is "in the category of... you can't believe it," but these days there is nothing about today's GOP I can't believe anymore. An anti-gay New York GOP legislator has decided that women are not acting "feminine enough," so... he will teach us how to be feminine.
