The granddaughter of Senator Jesse Helms, whom many consider the most anti-gay legislator in U.S. history and who is touting him during her elective campaign, is herself a partnered lesbian.

Desperation in the air

From Atios Eschaton: "You know the Bush campaign is getting desperate once they start spreading phony poll numbers to every Republican operative in Washington. Hell, even I, under my 'lifelong Republican' persona, managed to get this 'information.'"

Who would Bush flip off?

Nice! Undoctored video of Bush giving the one finger salute. Rising Hegemon: "Who would Jesus flip off?"

Jesus' General: "Steven Soper liked his girlfriend, but authorities say he liked President Bush more.

When his girlfriend suggested this week she wanted to vote for Kerry, officials allege it was too much for the 18-year-old Bush backer. A political argument prompted him to end their two-year relationship -- and that was just for starters.

Sheriff's officials say Soper, a Marines recruit, later became so upset that he dragged 18-year-old Stacey Silveira into his suburban Lake Worth home, beat her and held her hostage with a screwdriver.

The attack led to a standoff with a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy that ended with Soper being zapped with a Taser. It culminated in his arrest, endangering his chances of serving in the Marines.

Silveira, an 18-year-old senior at Santaluces High School, was shaken up but not seriously hurt.

'He's crazy about Bush,' she said in an interview. "

The Rude Pundit: "Yes, we can smell the sweat of fear, we can see the spinning dance of death, we can hear the frantic fiddling, we can touch the potential future, and we can taste the acrid flames that are licking at their feet. It's all crumbling. Let's just hope it collapses soon enough."
