'AFA angry at Kellogg's support of gay pride' & other Monday midday news briefs


So the American Family Association is angry at Kellogg for sponsoring Atlanta's Gay Pride march and festival. One would think the organization would've have been angry about the strange relationship between those three elves promoting 'Rice Krispies.' What does "snap, crackle, pop" mean anyway?

How is "Religious Right Aiming To Block All Obama Judicial Nominations" news? Haven't Republicans already been doing that for years?

You know, on the Kellogs thing...Walmart took out an ad in the NYC Pride program, and were a sponsor, but it's crickets when it comes to calling for a Walmart boycott.

At the time, they were calling out some other sponsors at other Pride events, so I went to their website, and said something to the effect of, "I'm glad you guys are holding companies like this accountable, and I'm sure you'll also call for the same accountability from Walmart, since they are sponsoring NYC's pride." Comment was yanked in no time.

Go figure.
