Hundreds of Sacramento-area students rallied to support four students suspended for wearing anti-gay shirts. One participant said: "It's only going to get worse against Christians. We're going to get persecuted more and more. But those who stand to the end: God is going to save them." Um, right...

Maryland's House has passed a bill requiring health insurance companies to extend benefits to same-sex partners and children. The bill now needs to be signed by the governor to become a law. (We totally just had a School House Rock flashback.)

Robbie Williams may have ditched Take That! to embrace his bad boy image, but some are saying the recently rehabbed singer's mulling a musical reunion. Um, is that supposed to be a career booster or a death rattle?

cock-a-doodle.jpg

Above is our attempt at a cute, penis-based drawing created on the Cock-A-Doodle website. Kill a few hours at work playing around with cartoon penises all for a good cause. The site is sponsored by the Everyman fund, which is a charity that benefits cancer research, though this particular campaign is aimed at raising awareness of testicular and prostate cancer.

So go make a cute drawing, donate a couple dollars, and help your fellow man.

Bill Frist

2008 Republican hopeful Bill Frist (you remember him best as the guy who diagnosed Terri Schiavo from a monitor on the senate floor) has gotten into more hot water, this time because of his AIDS "Charity.” Basically, The World of Hope (yeah, the title kinda’ says it all) raised 4.4 million worth of cash from only 18 donors (read: 18 large corporations) and spent only 3 million on AIDS charities. The rest (SHOCK!) went to his top political consultants for his 2008 campaign.

"These tax deductible gifts were earmarked through Senator Frist," Cooper said. "They were raised in the political arena at the 2004 Republican Convention and the natural question is were they given to the Senate majority leader to gain favor or were they given for true charitable purposes?" Cooper said the consulting fees were "excessively high" and the fact that they were "paid to primarily political consultants also raises questions about the long-range strategic benefits for the 2008 presidential race."

We were going to applaud Frist for even having an AIDS charity, even if most of the cash goes to evangelical AIDS groups. But using an AIDS charity that’s designed to help children and adults living with a life-threatening disease as a cash cow for your friends is, to put it mildly, in poor taste.

As is killing cute kitties.
