Blog Power

Three cheers to John Avarosis at Americablog. He's been conducting a campaign against Ford Motor Co. for caving to the religious right by agreeing to pull all ads they had planned for gay publications. John and the gays who read him fought back in spades. Now Ford has caved again. This time, they have agreed not only to place the ads with the gay publications, but to increase the number. What a wonderful world we live in with the blogs having the power of the press.
