Newtown, Connecticut

I really wish there hadn’t been an event so tragic in its scope that I had to put out a podcast this week. I would have preferred to continue along in a haze of holiday happiness. This podcast deals frankly (and explicitly) with the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Vote for Question 6 in Maryland – Marriage Equality Matters!

The Chair Stands Alone

This week on the Flaming Liberal Podcast Sarah Lynn takes on some of the more compelling/really frustrating speeches from the Republican National Convention. The Chair Stands Alone What do you suppose the chances are of the DNC being less frustrating this week? I’ve got my fingers crossed! And please, for the love of all things good in this world, will someone please work up a satire involving an empty chair or an imaginary Clint Eastwood?...

In Response to the Sikh Shooting in Wisconsin

This week we experienced a hateful event that ended the lives of six Sikhs in Oak Creek, Wisconsin when a man with a gun entered their temple and started shooting as many people as he could. This is an act of hate and intimidation, and if we don’t recognize it as domestic terrorism we are fools. My heart goes out to anyone and everyone affected by this tragedy. In Response to the Sikh Shooting in Wisconsin...

Mini Episode: My Beef with Chick-Fil-A

Here’s my take on the whole Chick-Fil-A situation that’s taking up so much of everyone’s attention. Enjoy! My Beef with Chick-Fil-A And just in case all this talk of delicious, politically-questionable chicken has you salivating for the stuff – we’ve got a solution! The Consumerist posted a copy cat recipe for Chick-Fil-A’s product that’s getting rave reviews. If you’d like to offset some of the Chick-Fil-A support that’s happening tomorrow, here are a few great organizations that will happily t...
