Not about hate
As an ordained Southern Baptist minister, I applaud the two gay men in the recent Cal Poly “makeout session in response to crazy preacher lady.” Even though this was nothing more than a knee-jerk, juvenile prank and not some grand theological/political statement, these two know what they stand ...

Obstruction in Los Osos
The Los Osos obstructionists were out in full force Thursday night at the Los Osos Community Advisory Council land use meeting. The same old people who fought to stop the sewer have now taken up the cause to stop McDonald’s from opening a restaurant with a drive-through at the old Bank...
