We'd step in, but we don't want to gay bash

The Daily Show had a great segment this week about the Republican scandal over Congressman Foley, who turned out to be a pedophile that Republican leadership was unwilling to out for several months. One excuse offered by some Republicans, including Newt Gingrich, was that the leadership did not want to be perceived as gay bashing for outing Foley's predatory messages to Congressional pages.

Stewart notes that a party wanting to avoid gay bashing would do well to distinguish between being gay and being a pedophile.

Things that make you shiver

Pedophiles love the internet, as it allows them to find like-minded people to help them rationalize their deviant behavior. Apparently this community of sins has also developed their own "secret" signs, including jewelry and web images. If you see these, it might be time to send the FBI a tip or at the very least, keep your kids away!
