Compared to the flak that Buster the Bunny’s catching. I guess Education Secretary Spellings doesn’t care that lesbians are taxpayers, too, or that some moderate Christians might not want their kids exposed to Pentecostal faith. If it smacks of queer culture, it deserves a smack down — even if the word, lesbian, or phrase “my two moms” are never uttered in the course of the Buster episode at the epicenter of this flap.

PBS hasn’t exactly been displaying a badge of courage, either, has it? (Can you say cowering? Sure, you can.)

While we might not be ushering in a culture of true suppression or censorship, we’re certainly seeing a lot of cowardice in the public circle. And pandering. Of course, not everyone sees Spellings’ actions as an act of merit, but then again, we’re the blue coast talking. We don’t count. Need proof? Let’s see is Spellings complains about this public university’s use of taxpayer money.

CYes, I’m frustrated? So much so that I intend to write a letter to Spellings about her actions.)

Too bad poor Buster’s gotten caught up in all this. He’s a fine blogger and now he’ll have to censor himself.

Dear Readers: You now have new and improved comments, so give them a spin when the urge moves you. Also, I’m slowly updating my author pages to make them more Firefox friendly. Some of the pages have met my expectations, but a few need more tweaks and it’s slow going for me. (Repeat to self: I am not a programmer.) I expect it’ll take a couple more days to get the pages where I want them, but I don’t expect this to affect my blogging. I got links and esoterica to share with you, so check back frequently. I’ll be here.
