Let’s try something new this week. Good news first : Guess who benefits from legalizing gay marriage? Other than gays, of course. Straight women : To paraphrase the great gay songwriter Stephen Sondheim: Straight women, rise! As same-sex couples marry, things get better for us, too.

Malia Litman noted Sarah Palin’s reaction to the Gulf Disaster here in HuffPost yesterday.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin–recently dubbed by Gabriel Sherman of New York Magazine as the “President of right-wing America” –and her Anchorage attorney Thomas Van Flein continue to deal in duplicity and fraud in response to findings issued by the Alaska Department of Law regarding Ethics Act complaints levied against Palin and her deceptively named Alaska Fund Trust.
