It's Gets Better... And Worse...

Feb 9th, 2012

The better...

In response to the vile campaign urging JC Penney to drop Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson simply because she is gay, an effort which even Bill O'Reilly likened to McCarthyism, CEO Ron Johnson has made a statement affirming the company's loyalty to her:

"We stand squarely behind Ellen as our spokesperson and that’s a great thing, because she shares the same values that we do in our company. Our company was founded 110 years ago on The Golden Rule, which is about treating people fair and square, just like if you treated yourself. And we think Ellen represents the values of our company and the values that we share."


The worse...

Rick Santorum reacted to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals striking down the odious Prop 8 by comparing them to "the Soviet Union." Seriously.
