- The monster-costumed death metal band Gwar disemboweled a Sarah Palin effigy onstage at a concert. I'm no Sarah Palin fan, but that's hella disturbing even for "death metal." (Apparently the band "kills" lots of public figures onstage, both males and females. So it's not necessarily misogynist, but I still can't help but be freaked out by what kinds of people enjoy seeing her effigy "die" onstage.) [Daily Beast]
- Crap, how could I have missed this one? Yesterday was the 55th anniversary of Rosa Parks' historic refusal to give her up bus seat to a white person on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. [ColorLines]
- A civil union bill passed in the Illinois state senate on Monday that affords gay couples some of the same benefits as married couples, like the right to visit a partner in the hospital. The bill has already passed in Illinois state House. Illinois now joins California, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington in giving civil unions or domestic partnerships to gay couples.
