The fiscally and reliably conservative Economist switched their endorsement to Barack Obama today.
Seed magazine (a science magazine and publisher) endorsed Barack Obama from a prospective of what will be good for science (ok, so not so unexpected considering how anti-science Bush, Palin and to a lesser extent McCain have been).
The whole "you are duped" canard we've been getting from some on the right because we support Obama really rings strange and divorced from reality. Ok, even without these endorsements, just looking at verifiable facts, that canard seems off the wall. But double checking ourselves with conservative, reasonable people makes it seem like someone is starting to believe wild conspiracy theories and obvious falsehoods... and it's not us...
anyway,
On Proposition 8, a large group of prominent Silicon Valley business leaders have come out publicly against Prop 8. I guess that's not entirely unexpected. Gay men and women are highly represented in that workforce and these leaders (overwhelming majority being straight) KNOW they deserve equality as much as their other employees.
