Lacey Phillabaum (pictured) entered a guilty plea today in connection with a 2001 arson that destroyed the University of Washington Center for Urban Horticulture, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice. Phillabaum, a former staff writer at Source Weekly and C-Ville Weekly, also admitted that she "helped plan or participated in two more 'actions' in 2000 and 2001, aimed at destroying what she and co-conspirators believed to be genetically engineered crops," said the DOJ. News reports suggest these incidents were part of a wave of eco-terrorism for which the Earth Liberation Front claimed responsibility.
Ever since Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Penn., publicly equated homosexuality and bestiality, Dan Savage has been turning up the heat on his homophobic nemesis. First, he organized a contest to name a sex act after the Republican senator. Now Savage, the editor of Seattle's The Stranger and one of altdom's most popular columnists, is taking the fight to Santorum's home turf. He recently followed the warpath to Philadelphia, where he talked to Philadelphia Weekly about efforts to defeat Santorum's midterm re-election bid. When questioned about his take-no-prisoners crusade, Savage says, "I really feel that it's an all-hands-on-deck sort of fucking moment."
