This Pre-Race Prayer Might Actually Be The Most Redneck Moment In NASCAR History


Perhaps NASCAR, its Nationwide Series especially, looks like an extended redneck highlight reel, but last night's race in Gladeville, TN offered us one of the redneckiest moments you'll ever see. It came in the pre-race prayer—which, I suppose, duh—but we were so riveted that we shall now thank the Lord in future for Pastor Joe Nelms. 
He praises Sunoco, Goodyear, his "smokin' hot wife," and closed it with "Boogity, boogity, Amen." We love this guy.

Senator Franken Shames Homophobic Imbecile


From Think Progress:
During this morning’s Senate DOMA hearings, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) destroyed Focus on the Family’s Tom Minnery’s argument that children are better off with opposite-sex parents by demonstrating how Minnery misrepresented an HHS study. The study — which Minnery cited to oppose marriage equality — actually found that children do best in two-parent households, regardless of the parents’ gender.
