L.A.'s most stalwart curmudgeon has a great capacity for wading into the Daily Caller (I almost wrote, "the bowels of the Daily Caller, but it's all bowels), and finding choice crap to ridicule. He posted a takedown of a screed by America’s Pre-Eminent Evangelical Protestant Female Intellectual (highlighted for the sake of hilarity) on same-sex marriage and the slippery slope that will lead to... oh, hell, let's let the scold's words speak for themselves:
Homosexual practice thus requires individuals to contradict their own biology. It disconnects a person’s sexuality from his or her biological identity as male or female — which exerts a self-alienating and fragmenting effect on the human personality.
And the logic of alienation will not stop there. Already the acceptance of same-sex relationships is metastasizing into a postmodern notion of sexuality as fluid and changing over time.

No excuse needed to post music links. Just put a semi-provocative pic of yourself, then link away. That's what I do anyway.
I admire M. Bouffant above all!!!
Commenting to answer your comment on my blog, and not so far reading all your post (will do in a bit) - regarding paletas. I've been researching paletas here in LA for a while, trying to sample enough variety to really write about. Will do so soon. There's a wonderful paleta joint downtown that, if you like them, you should really come to LA and visit.
OK. Awesome tune.
Thanks, M.B., for giving me an "in".
Subtle.
