John McCain’s latest campaign ad attacks Obama’s position on offshore drilling by comparing him to celebrities like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Being gay is not a choice. It is something you are born with, or for the unfortunate souls such as myself, not born with. Lord knows I have tried to choose gaynees. Oh, how I’ve tried! Unfortunatley, on the great bell curve that is human sexuality, I am far closer to Gene Simmons than I [...]
