Faith at That is so Queer has put together a list of El Pollo Loco restaurants owned by Roland Spongberg - a man who donated $6000 to the yes on 8 campaign. This guy owns quite a few franchises under the name WKS Restaurant Group.

Personally, I'll be boycotting the one at Sunset Junction which was pretty much the only one I went to.

For a full list, please check out her list.

Browne Molyneux over at laeastside.com has a thoughtful post about racism and the fallout from the passage of California's Proposition 8 - especially as shown in the LA Times.

People, please keep in mind that the exit poll that showed black voters favoring proposition 8 by 70% to 30% only asked 224 black voters, and I bet they were all from one poll. Do you think that is enough of a sample size to extrapolate to all black voters in the state? I sure don't. Especially when compared to pre-election polls which had less than 50% of black voters in favor of prop 8.

Please, don't be racist. Please, don't fall victim to the race-baiting that the right wing is surely going to play up. We are all minorities. We must stand together.

If we must blame any one group for the passage of prop 8, how about the white republicans who make up so much of the voting population in california.

Al3x, a fellow I know, put together 25 rules for computing happiness. I disagree a little with rule 20, but the list is pretty damn good.

I urge everyone and their mother to call their senator TODAY to strongly protest the adoption of the proposed FISA bill that would legalize warrantless wiretapping.

Do you enjoy your privacy? If you don't like the idea of bulk wiretaps with no warrant and interception of email and all your internet traffic without warrant, you should make your voice heard.

the EFF has a page where you put in your state and it spits out your senators' contact information, as well as talking points when you call.

Basically, politely urge your senator to vote YES on the Dodd-Feingold amendment, YES on the Bingaman amendment, NO on the cloture motion to end debate on FISA, and NO on the FISA Amendments Act.

I don't know about you, but I think the new google favicon looks like monkey ass.
