Rick Santorum on Dan Savage:

I would tell him that I’m praying for him. He obviously has some serious issues. You look at someone like that who can say and do the things that he’s doing and you just pray for him and hopefully he can find peace.

Dan Savage on Rick Santorum:

Rick Santorum thinks that women who have been raped should be compelled—by force of law—to carry the babies of their rapists to term, he thinks birth control should be illegal, he wants to prosecute pornographers, etc., etc., basically the guy wants to be president so that he can micromanage the sex lives of all Americans…and I’m the one with issues? Because I made a dirty joke at his expense eight or nine years ago and it stuck? I’m the one with issues?

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Rick can pray for me. I’ll gay for him. And we can call it even.

Nicely played, Mr. Savage.

My inspiration would be what I always tell myself when I feel utterly defeated - when I hear about the Koch Brothers and the Union busting and the trying to [force] photo IDs for voting - I always say, just remember, ultimately the right-wingers never ever win; because society keeps progressing without them. If conservatives and right-wingers were victorious we would still own slaves, women wouldn’t vote, there would be no birth control, no public school education, […] there would still be a Triangle Shirtwaist Factory if right-wingers ultimately won.

- Janeane Garofalo, Majority.fm, when asked for words of inspiration. 

It was great to hear Janeane talking with Sam Seder again, it’s been quite some time - I especially liked her point about society moving forward and “progressing without them”. I hope she’s right.
