James Dobson should be happier now. SpongeBob Squarepants, the flaming spokessponge for gay and lesbians around the globe has finally checked into Exodus International.

Top ten reasons you're voting for Hillary Clinton for president in 2008:
10. To prove to my feminist girlfriend that I'm, like, into her issues.
9. It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes name recognition to raise a campaign war chest.
8. Her moderate rhetoric on abortion and religious values shows she that has the sincerity and integrity - or savvy B.S. - to connect with the American voter. I don't care - whatever it takes to get universal health care.
7. Can't wait to see what wacky hijinks Bill gets himself into around the White House without presidential duties to distract him.
6. Settling into a nice Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton rotation will make it much easier for America's school children to memorize the presidents.
5. She'd challenge chauvinistic Muslim governments with a progressive example of women's leadership - oh wait, Pakistan had a female head of state 17 years ago. And a woman became Indonesia's prime minister in 2001.
4. Afraid if I don't I'll end up like Vince Foster.
3. To demonstrate that American political dynasties aren't just patriarchal father-son affairs, but can also pass from philandering husbands to their embittered wives.
2. I've already ordered 10,000 "A woman's place is in the house - the White House" bumper stickers.
1. One word: Hillary-ous.

Conservative columnist Cal Thomas has written an intelligent article on the Ten Commandments. Some of the highlights include:Christians, who sometimes seem so bellicose about these things, believe Jesus Christ fulfilled every one of the Ten Commandments and thus became the perfect "Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). Christians also believe "a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ" (Galatians 2:16) and "all who rely on observing the law are under a curse" (Galatians 3:10). They believe anyone who wishes to be judged by the law falls short and is condemned.
If Christians believe such things, why would they "settle" for the posting of the Ten Commandments through which they believe no one can be saved? Why not lobby for the display of their favorite verse: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16)? The display of that verse on public property would surely be ruled unconstitutional, but at least Christians would be consistent with what they actually believe.
What puzzles me is the extent to which those who want government to endorse their faith seem ready to compromise their true beliefs in order to receive an honorable mention from the state.You can read the full article here.
