Creep of the Week: Newt Gingrich
Proposition 8 is in trouble. For those of you out of the loop, Proposition 8 is the anti-gay marriage ban that will be on the ballot in California in November. The ballot measure would over-turn the court decision to let gays and lesbians legally [...]
Dirty little secret
ROYAL OAK -It's 9 p.m. on a Saturday night. You're expecting some company and plan to be, ahem, tied up for the next few hours. Trouble is, your nipple clamps have seen better days and you can't find your urethra probe anywhere. If only you lived [...]
Creep of the Week: Rev. Dave Allison

Creep of the Week: Jim Adkisson
It isn't just your Uncle Ned – you know, the one with the gun rack and the NRA sticker on his pick-up truck – who believes in the adage that "an armed society is a polite society." Hell, this nation's own Supreme Court sided with that belief just a [...]
Creep of the Week: Don Wildmon
The end is near. It's what right-wing religious Christians have been going on about for years. It's the plot of the inexplicably popular Left Behind series. Make sure you're wearing clean underpants and have washed behind your ears, kids, because [...]
Michigan activist gets hot seat treatment
FERNDALE – Sean Kosofsky, Triangle Foundation's out-going director of policy, sat smiling by the metaphorical open fire during a July 28 roast held in his honor. Over 100 people attended the send-off for Kosofsky, who is moving to assume the role [...]
Open ears and open mind
HUNTINGTON WOODS – "Involved and Innovative." That's what it says under Democrat Ellen Cogen Lipton's name on the yard signs that dot lawns in Michigan's 27th District prior to the Aug. 5 primary election. For many politicians, "Involved and [...]
John McCain
