I always knew that Orson Scott Card was a fundamentalist Mormon. Dangermarc brought to my attention this little nugget on how Card thinks gay marriage will unravel the fabric of the universe. It’s too bad such a great sci-fi writer has such fucked up political/religious beliefs.

I bought my new iPhone this weekend. And, living up to the promise I made AaronB in June, I have now made political contributions equalling the total amount of my iPhone. Last week I made contributions to Obama, the DNC, the DCCC, and the DSCC.
