POPSGuess Hate is a Family Value I'm so sick of hearing about "family values", it's become another way of trumpeting bigotry. The bigots are coming out of the woodwork since the Larry Craig story. The right is quick to condemn mister Craig for not living up to the "family values" he claimed to support and defend. The left is just as quick to condemn him for typical republican hypocrisy. Mr. Craig is not evil incarnate, he's misguided, confused, perhaps opportunistic and self hating, but he is not the problem. Anti gay bigotry is the problem. If an institution is so weak that it requires exclusion to stand then it is already doomed. With every misguided act of protection of marriage, it is cheapened and made weaker. Bigotry in any form only hurts us all. We need to stop it already.

POPSMcMansion-maker Kara folds as housing market turns sour I've been watching this bubble for a long time, and it's frightening to see how blind these builders were going into the downturn. I've heard horror stories of buyers with $150,000 deposits that are vanishing before their eyes as Kara files chapter 11. Everyone owed money by Kara from contractors to banks and investors is similarly screwed. Kara is the first, but will certainly not be the last as the housing bubble backlash hits.
