Republicans in Florida are trying to boot thousands of voters—including hundreds who are perfectly eligible to vote—from the state’s voter rolls. Here’s a look at where this is happening right now.

Yesterday, S. E. Cupp said one of the stupidest things I’ve heard her say (admittedly, I only hear her speak when I haven’t realized she’s part of a segment and don’t get to the FF button before she starts talking), trying to defend this practice by saying that the Obama campaign will be trying to make sure these groups get to the polls so it’s all the same.

Because, yeah, scheming to take away a right that’s the foundation of our country is exactly the same as helping people exercise that right.

LOL. Twitter exploded with the news this morning that the Romney camp misspelled the word ‘America’ on their new iPhone app - they went live with ‘Amercia’ instead. Some iPhone users took a break from tweeting about Amercia to actually download and use the app, fostering the creation of ‘Amercia Is With Mitt’ on Tumblr.

Often the most conservative states are the least family-friendly. The National Partnership for Women and Families made this map report card to show which states have the worst policies for families and new parents. So much for “traditional family values”!

Comic Book Boycott of the Day: Conservative group One Million Moms is at it again, directing its not-quite-a-million members to boycott Marvel and DC Comics due to recent announcements from both companies about their futures of their gay characters.

DC has revealed that a major character is soon going to come out as gay, while Marvel announced the engagement of superhero Northstar to his boyfriend, Kyle.

These events don’t sit will with One Million Moms, whose anti-gay agenda has also led them to protest the wedding of Archie Comics’ first gay character, Kevin Keller.

“Children desire to be just like superheroes,” said the group in a statement. “Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, ‘I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?’”

The statement goes on to accuse the publishers of trying to “indoctrate [sic] impressionable young minds.”

Marvel and DC have yet to respond to the homophobic comments.

“Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible.”

That explains why all the girls who used to read The Avengers want to marry a robot and grow up to slather red body make-up on their boyfriends for cosplay fantasies.

One big grid of awwz.

The memorial wreath, flowers, and candles left today on Donna Summer’s Walk of Fame star on Hollywood Blvd.  There will be some men dancing to her songs this weekend in West Hollywood…..We’ll always have the music

Stephanie Cutter is back with a new video taking down Karl Rove’s latest BS attack on the president—and she wants you to post it on your Tumblr.

I love these videos. She is a bad ass.

I am constantly amazed at the degree that the Romney campaign is willing to lie. They are just so brazen.

I guess the CW is remaking Beauty & the Beast as “Beauty and the Usually-Beautiful Were-Beast”.

I was wondering how you could remake that show for the CW…

While I was never a huge Donna Summer fan, she was one pop icon who left me associating memories with her music. One thing I always appreciated about her singing is that, while she was a powerful singer, she usually held back the urge to show off like many of the divas to follow her.

I probably have the strongest memories of Con Te Patiro because I dated a guy who loved how Summer adapted an opera song into a dance club hit and it was in heavy rotation when I started hitting the gay clubs in Waikiki.
