Now they've done it. Adding fuel to the fire of Evangelical Christian Conservatives and ex-gays mid-west-wide, next summer HBO is going to debut a new show called "Big Love." The main characters are a Utah Mormon man and his two wives, and how he's trying to straddle the line between his religion's fanatics and the sellout mainstream Latter Day Saints. Says CNN,

After a string of period pieces ("Carnivalé," "Rome," "Deadwood") that drew niche audiences, the show aims to return to contemporary drama, as with "The Sopranos."
A number of companies with pharmacies, now including Target, allow their pharmacists to refuse to perform their job duties based upon religious objections. Specifically, I am talking about pharmacists who refuse to dispense legally prescribed birth control or emergency contraception. If nothing else, you should be pissed off on behalf of the poor women with PMS, severe migraines, or severe achne who take birth control for NON-SEXUAL reasons! I'm pissed because they're specifically condoning having their employees not do their jobs.

Thru the Planned Parenthood site, I wrote a letter to be emailed to Target on the topic. My text is below if you wish to copy it. I plan to also write a physical letter as I believe these are more effective, however I am first waiting to give a friend who works for Target the chance to rebut Savage's (and others') comments.

What's next, Klansmen and neo-Nazis refusing to serve anyone who's not a white male?

WTF is going on in Paris?
