I had lunch with Sarah Silverman and in the midst of playing our favorite lunch counter game "Who would you pretend to be if you wanted to hurt our country?", we used our iphones to remind people that Russ Feingold is a great progressive ally, is a must win seat...

Today, at 2pm, Bill Frist took-up the "Marriage Protection Act," or the "Incorporate Hate Into the Constitution" act on the floor of the Senate.

In my new book "FUBAR: America's Right-Wing Nightmare," co-author Stephen Sherrill and I investigate what we call "anti-gay gay Republicans;" those on the right-wing who...
