Slog - Comments on The National Review Intends to Maintain a Respectful Silence About the Contents of Mary Cheney's Uterus http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/12/the_national_review The American Taliban and their media mouthpieces have spent the last decade and a half attacking gay and lesbian couples.
