Snake in the Grass

Be vigilant, my friends. Columns like this make me glad I live in the San Francisco area. And I’m straight, for heaven’s sake!
Romeo and Romeo in Hell: Where teen sex meets the Dark Ages, and why you never, ever want to live in Kansas (Mark Morford, Morford, SFGate Columnist)

Excerpt:

Vigilance is mandatory. Sentient well-souled bipeds who can speak in complete sentences must monitor the radar to ensure the shrill Ashcroft-washed Kansas-dried throngs do not dig under the fence and poison the drinking water even further. Limon’s case sets vile legal precedents that resonate nationwide. And we’ve all seen what can happen when one of the primordials steals the White House.
It is always necessary to be reminded of the poisonous snake living in the backyard, the black widow in the woodshed, the Shania CD among the Incubus and the Rufus. And Kansas’ brand of bilious Bible-whacked homophobia is exactly what BushCo’s demonically powerful ultraconservative Right would love to see spread across the land like a cancer.
