Creep of the Week: Pat Robertson
I also thought Pat Robertson had died. Or, I should clarify: I think of him as dead, as in dead to me, because he is a hateful bigot and is one of the grossest examples of performative Christianity. So whenever Robertson is in the news I always [...]
Creep of the Week: Donald Trump
If you've been following the news at all you may have noticed that there are huge protests against the political failure to address climate change across the globe led by young people. You may have also noticed that impeachment proceedings have [...]
Creep of the Week: Dave Daubenmire
Let's go on a journey to hell, shall we? I've found a portal that can take us directly there. Hat tip to Dave Daubenmire, former high school football coach and self-proclaimed "defender of the Christian faith," for showing the way. The way to hell, [...]
Creep of the Week: Brett Kavanaugh
I just read on NPR's health blog about a new study that found that "an estimated 3.3 million [women] nationwide said that their first sexual experience was rape." And this is likely an underestimate! The data for the study predates the very new [...]
Creep of the Week: Milo Yiannopoulos
First Twitter came for Milo Yiannopoulos, and I did not speak out because I was not a racist. Then Facebook came for Milo Yiannopoulos, and I did not speak out because I was not a misogynist. Then Yiannopoulos was broke, and I did not speak out [...]
Creep of the Week: Super Happy Fun America
If you said the words "Super Happy Fun America" to me and then asked me what that was, I would have guessed it was the name of a low-budget, USA-themed amusement park with lots of red, white and blue cowboy hats, Big Macs at every concession stand [...]
Creep of the Week: Log Cabin Republicans
A day after it was announced that the Trump Administration was planning on making it easier for federal contractors to discriminate against LGBTQ workers, the Log Cabin Republicans did the only thing that made sense: they endorsed him [...]
Creep of the Week: Don Grundmann
Don Grundmann is not having the best month. He is very much not at all racist, and yet the people of Modesto, California, have the nerve to think otherwise. They even laughed at him! Humiliated him in public! It's an outrage. Grundmann, a California [...]
Creep of the Week: Candice Keller
Back to back mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas. And by the time you read this, that list will probably have to be updated. Because mass shootings are basically an everyday occurrence in the United States. And we're becoming [...]
Creep of the Week: Ryan Fournier
As if I needed another reason to love Elizabeth Warren, she's gone and done something yet again that has upset right-wing Republicans. Granted, she pretty much does this every day by advocating for things Republicans hate like access to health care [...]
Creep of the Week: Donald Trump
"I'm not going to the fucking White House." Have more beautiful words ever been spoken by a world champion before? Megan Rapinoe of the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team said those words before her team won the World Cup. And now that they've won, [...]
Creep of the Week: Ryan T. Anderson
The U.S. government is locking children in cages and refusing to give them soap or toothpaste, but for some folks, the most pressing issue is the fact that my wife and I are legally married. So, let's talk about Ryan T. Anderson, shall we? He's a [...]
