Things I missed while hanging with my sister instead of the RNC

From The New York Times' Op-Ed:

The convention opened with an invocation by Sheri Dew, a Mormon publisher and activist. Early rumors were that the invocation would be given by Jerry Falwell, who suggested just after 9/11 that the attack was God's punishment for the activities of the A.C.L.U. and People for the American Way, among others. But Ms. Dew is no more moderate: earlier this year she likened opposition to gay marriage to opposition to Hitler.

Woo, republicans?

I really need to get more sleep. It took me three read throughs: I was thinking "Why growl? Opposition to gay marriage is bad, Hitler was bad, so opposition to Hitler was good -- oh, wait."
