I mean by most people standards the bitch is a hot, tall mulatto. And i want to pin her ankles behind her ears and make her dreams come true for 90 seconds. But i fear the situation will be similar to the scene from the devils advocate where the face of the chick keanu is fucking keeps changing from his wife to the other hot chick. But in my situation it morphs from the hot young model to her mongloid 7ft foot brother who is on my favorite basketball team (especially that last pic right?). That being said I'd fuck her sans conny, and the bulls dominated the wizards despite around 16 turnovers. The score isn't important chief, we won.
Ed note: thanks to Tazer for the the heads up on Noahs sister. Ya tazer is one of my friends. No it isn't his last name. No it has never been his nick name before today. Today is the first day of the rest of your life tazer, congrats.

Jane Russell, voluptuous pin-up model and star of dozens of Westerns and musicals, has died at the age of 89. While her "scandalous" movies and photo shoots at times created controversies over censorship, in her later years Russell embraced far-right conservative Christian politics and openly accepted the label of "bigot." Perhaps best known politically for her anti-feminism and battles against abortion rights (including for rape and incest), in 2003 she told Australia's Daily Mail: "These days I’m a teetotal, mean-spirited, right-wing, narrow-minded, conservative Christian bigot, but not a racist." Russell was an occasional guest on the anti-gay Praise The Lord show hosted by Jan and Paul Crouch, although I'm not finding any examples of her commenting on gay rights issues. For now, let's remember her from before the crazy years.
Former RNC chairman (and 21st century Roy Cohn) Ken Mehlman attended Saturday's GOProud fundraiser in the home of former Dick Cheney adviser Mary Matalin. GOProud has posted dozens of photos.

Remember Baghdad Bob? Well, history is repeating itself at this very moment; just watch Gadhafi in the video below. I can't wait to see (hear) what Anderson says about this...
 "There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!" "My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all" |  "All my people love me." "No demonstration at all in the streets." |
Gadhafi clings to power amid growing support for protests

Wolf Blitzer reports
In a joint interview with ABC News' Christiane Amanpour and the BBC, Gadhafi also denied using force against his people, Amanpour reported. Excerpts of the interview were posted on the networks' websites.
"No demonstration at all in the streets," he said, speaking at a restaurant in Tripoli.
Told by the BBC's Jeremy Bowen that he had seen demonstrators in the streets that morning, Gadhafi asked, "Are they supporting us?"
"They love me, all my people with me, they love me all. They will die to protect me, my people," he said.
Government forces have repeatedly clashed with demonstrators over the past two weeks in Libya, fired on crowds and at times shot indiscriminately at people in the streets, numerous witnesses have told CNN. The death toll has topped 1,000, according to an estimate from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Gadhafi's regime has lost control of parts of the country to rebel forces, and with each passing day more Libyan officials around the world have defected, joining calls for his ouster.
The use of the term "rebel" to describe the anti-government forces is apt, said Kurt Volker, former U.S. ambassador to NATO and now a senior fellow at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Forces.
"In Egypt, you didn't have a force that was developed; you had protesters who were demonstrating against the government and the government relented," he told CNN in a telephone interview. "Here, you actually have a government that retains force at its disposal and you have demonstrators joined by elements of the military that have forces at their disposal. So it really has become an armed rebellion."
Even as Gadhafi sought to project confidence Monday, reports came in that a military jet bombed a military base in an area controlled by rebel forces.
The base is near Ajdabiya, 90 miles south of Benghazi, a stronghold of government opponents. Some bases in the area have fallen into the hands of protesters as more members of the military have abandoned Gadhafi's regime and joined demonstrations.
Several soldiers told CNN they switched their allegiance after refusing to use weapons against peaceful demonstrators.
CNN saw the military jet fly overhead and heard the sounds of explosions. Witnesses reported a bombing at the base.
But Libyan state television later denied any such bombing had occurred. The Temporary General Committee for Defense said reports that the Libyan air force conducted strikes on the ammunition depots in the cities of Ajdabiya and Rajima were false, state TV reported.
While CNN has staff in some cities, the network can not independently confirm reports for many areas in Libya. CNN has gathered information through telephone interviews with witnesses.
Pro-Gadhafi forces tried to attack a radio station in Misrata, a city controlled by protesters, a witness said. A military chopper with soldiers on board has tried to land a couple of times over the past three days, but the opposition fired at the soldiers and kept them away, the witness said.
The international community, meanwhile, launched new efforts Monday to pressure Gadhafi to halt the violence.
"Colonel Gadhafi and those around him must be held accountable for these acts, which violate international legal obligations and common decency. Through their actions, they have lost the legitimacy to govern. And the people of Libya have made themselves clear: It is time for Gadhafi to go, now, without further violence or delay," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said at a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, of the U.N. Human Rights Council.
She said the United States is exploring "all possible options," and that "nothing is off the table so long as the Libyan government continues to threaten and kill Libyan citizens."
Asked at a news conference Monday whether the U.S. planned an imminent military response, Clinton said, "No."
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Monday that "exile is certainly one option" for Gadhafi. Carney also said the U.S. government is considering the possibility of imposing a no-fly zone over Libya.
The Obama administration is "actively reaching out to those in Libya who are working to bring about a government" that respects the rights and reflects the aspirations of the Libyan people, Carney said. "Colonel Gadhafi needs to step aside."
Pentagon spokesman Col. David Lapan said the United States is "repositioning" naval and air forces in the region to be prepared for any option that it may need to exercise. He would not comment on whether any ground forces are being put on alert or having leaves cancelled because of Libya.
Also Monday, the United States became the latest country to announce it had frozen Gadhafi-related assets. The U.S. government froze at least $30 billion in Libyan government assets under U.S jurisdiction after enacting sanctions on Friday, a Treasury official said. It marked the largest amount ever blocked under a sanctions program, according to Acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David Cohen.
In Tripoli, protesters stayed off the streets, telling CNN they feared violence. Government officials spread word that thousands of people could die if the popular uprising continues. On the 14th day of protests, there appeared to be a stalemate. Some in Tripoli told CNN they feared their protest movement was losing momentum.
But around the world, support for the protests was growing.
Yet another prominent Libyan official, the country's ambassador to South Africa, added his voice to the calls for Gadhafi to end his nearly 42-year grip on power. Gadhafi "should take the ultimate decision to step down in the interest of Libya," Abdullah Alzubedi told reporters in Pretoria.
The European Union's high representative for foreign affairs, Catherine Ashton, said the U.N. Human Rights Council "has a grave responsibility to ensure that our often-stated intentions are translated into real actions and real progress." Speaking at the meeting in Geneva, Ashton said, "What matters in the end is not the number of resolutions passed but results in the real world."
In an interview with CNN, Ashton said stopping the violence means trying "to persuade the people concerned that they will be held to account, that there will be the International Criminal Court, that we will stop their assets being moved, that we will hold them to account for their actions. That's what we do as an international community. That's what we have to make clear. And there's no doubt in my mind that actually they do listen to what's being said."
The U.N. Security Council over the weekend voted for tough restrictions and possible war crimes charges against the Libyan regime. The Security Council measures -- which include an arms embargo, an asset freeze and travel bans for Gadhafi and members of his family and associates -- also referred the situation unfolding in Libya to the International Criminal Court.
On Sunday, Gadhafi criticized the Security Council resolution, telling private Serbian station Pink TV by phone that council members "took a decision based on media reports that are based abroad." He added, "If the Security Council wants to know about something, they should have sent a fact-finding committee."
The protests, which began February 15, have been fueled largely by people demanding freedom and decrying high unemployment.
As the 68-year-old Gadhafi has appeared increasingly cornered, some Libyan officials have begun to discuss openly what a post-Gadhafi Libyan government would look like.
Over the weekend, Libya's deputy ambassador to the United Nations, Ibrahim Dabbashi, indicated he and fellow diplomats support "in principle" a caretaker administration under the direction of former Justice Minister Mustafa Abdul Jalil.
Jalil quit February 21 to protest the "bloody situation" and "use of excessive force" against unarmed protesters, according to Libyan newspaper Quryna.
About 100,000 people have fled Libya to Tunisia or Egypt in roughly the past week, the U.N. high commissioner for refugees said Sunday, citing reports from the Tunisian and Egyptian governments. The evacuees include Tunisians, Egyptians, Libyans and many from Asian countries.
Tunisia and Egypt are the two countries that have seen their leaders overthrown in the wave of protests that has swept through the Arab world over the past several weeks.
Tunisians on the border with Libya waved pre-Gadhafi-era Libyan flags in support of the opposition.
The Tunisian army, charities and ordinary Tunisians were trying to help Libyans on the border. Refugees said Tunisians were offering them food, water and the use of phones.
CNN's Ivan Watson, Nkepile Mabuse, Eve Bower, Ben Wedeman, Salma Abdelaziz, Talia Kayali, Richard Roth, Tom Watkins, Jack Maddox and Whitney Hurst contributed to this report.

Who the fuck do these Lunenburg cops think they are? Do they know who they’re fucking with here? This is Abram. He’s fucking crazy bro! An original reality TV gangsta. Sure the Jersey Shore kids are all the rage right now, but they wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for trailblazers like this. First ballet HOF’er. Always the last hope to stand up to CT and shit in the challenges. So obviously if you lock his ass up he’s going to smear shit all over the place. That’s the intensity he brings.
225lbs 49 times? Yeah, this guy can play for me. There is no joke here, just people doing work.
New Orleans' infamous Pastor Grant Storms, who every year can be found shouting hellfire and brimstone at Southern Decadence attendees, has been arrested for masturbating in his van while watching children in a playground.
Storms told deputies that he was merely having lunch at Lafreniere Park, 3000 Downs Blvd., in his van when he decided to relieve himself using a bottle instead of using the restroom, an incident report said. But two witnesses said they saw Storms through the open windows of his van masturbating himself while watching children on the playground, the report said. The two women flagged down a park employee who notified the Sheriff's Office. The employee also detained Storms until deputies arrived. Bond for Storms was set at $5,000. But he was released from the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna on Sunday because of overcrowding at the jail. Armed with bullhorns, Bibles and picket signs, Storms and a group of followers in 2003 protested against Southern Decadence, the gay three-day festival held over Labor Day weekend in the French Quarter. Storms' efforts prompted the New Orleans City Council to ban megaphones and other amplification devices.Storms has actually held anti-gay "purity" parades through the French Quarter during Southern Decadence. But not, we're guessing, this year!
The SPLC-certified hate group MassResistance has just issued an e-book attacking former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney over the advances made in LGBT rights during his tenure. Christian Newswire has the press release:
Massachusetts pro-family activist Amy Contrada has just released her definitive study of Mitt Romney's role in implementing "gay marriage," promoting GLBT "rights," and supporting the sexual-radical agenda in the Massachusetts schools while Governor. Contrada details how Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney supported the homosexual and transgender agenda on same-sex "marriage," sexual-radical indoctrination in the schools, and societal transformation -- while posing as a defender of the Constitution and traditional family values. Pro-family leaders enthusiastically recommend the book: Peter LaBarbera (Americans for Truth about Homosexuality) says, "In writing the meticulously documented 'Mitt Romney's Deception,' Amy Contrada has done the job that the liberal media was supposed to do. What she has uncovered is stunning even to experienced critics of Romney's equivocation on homosexual issues. Contrada lays bare Romney's servile embrace of the radical Massachusetts 'gay' agenda. Then she exposes his subsequent doublespeak in posing as the stalwart defender of traditional marriage in his bid for the GOP presidential nomination."Longtime JMG readers may recall Amy Contrada for her 2007 reaction to her daughter Claudia's coming out while a high school senior. Contrada accused LGBT activists of "perverting" Claudia's sexuality and yanked her out of school. Then she published a full-page article on the MassResistance site to reveal that Claudia isn't even biologically hers and was adopted. It really does take a vile repulsive bitch like Amy Contrada to actually make us feel (momentarily) sympathetic to Mitt Romney.

After Tommy's first year in the league, it looked as if the Bears had hit a home run with their first round pick. However, his tenure here has been downhill ever since. Injuries played a big part in his failure, but it was much more than that. The rep on him around the league was block him early and he would stop trying.
And despite Lovie Smith protecting his players, even the lazy ones like Harris, it was quite obvious to media and fans alike that Harris never had the hunger to be great. He never showed the type of passion it takes to be a great defensive player in this league.
Sure he showed flashes of greatness, and because of that he will play in this league for many more years to come. But he won't be missed around here. His over paid, under achieving ass should have been let go last offseason. So it gives me great pleasure to utter these words: Tommy Harris......... GET THE FUCK OUT.

Letters to the President: #770 'And the Oscar goes to …'

Reporter's Note: President Obama and I have several things in common. We are about the same age. We both have two daughters. We both have to deal with these letters every day. And neither one of us has won an Academy Award.
Dear Mr. President,
The fact that I am writing to you today is evidence enough that once again I was passed over by Oscar. Trust me, if I ever score one of those shiny little gold guys for the mantle I won’t be showing up for work on Monday. Ha!
I watched a fair portion of the awards show. Some of it left me cold because I just don’t see as many films now as I once did. My wife and younger daughter were helpful, periodically telling me which nominees I should cheer on and which ones I should pan. Not that it mattered. I suppose if I were a voting member of the Academy…or a member at all…
Speaking of awards, I noticed that one of your potential Republican challengers bestowed one on you. Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour called you one of the best politicians of all time.
Now, for starters, considering the current mood of the nation, I’m not sure that is a compliment. But even if it is, being the old film critic that I am, let me offer you this bit of advice: Don’t believe it for a minute. If you have big dreams, big ambitions, and want to have a big impact on the world, there are few things as dangerous as a compliment. It is an invitation to relax, to let down your guard, and to set yourself up for defeat.
And I would bet my house that this is fundamentally the intent of any challenger to any throne when he starts lobbing such words around; he wants to lull the incumbent into a sense of false safety, and he wants to paint himself as the hopeless underdog. “Hey Hare, have you met Tortoise? He’s a big fan of yours.”
You are going to be hearing a lot more of this kind of talk in the coming months, especially as people start getting serious about the election next year. And you should probably do what I do when I go to a movie and people start talking - turn around quickly and say “Shhhh. I’m trying to watch the big picture!”
Rainy Monday here in D.C., but wasn’t that a nice weekend? I went on my 20-mile training run and, not bragging, but I can assure you that there is no way on God’s green Earth that you could have kept up. Ha! Give me a call if you want the details.
Regards,
Tom

JMG reader Michael writes to tip us to the video of his father's marriage equality testimony before the Maryland House of Delegates last week. Michael's dad is an active Mormon, a physician, and a colonel in the U.S. Army. Watch this.
The biggest awards ceremony took place last night at the Nokia Theatre. The big night brought on the A-game of many celebrities, most notably the women! A trend for the night that is making it's appearance into Spring is the color Red (and it's different shades) along with the one-shoulder dress trend that is more defined. This Spring season calls for nothing but FLAIR.
Congratulations to Natalie Portman for winning the Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal in "Black Swan." She truly deserved it and it's so nice seeing her experience so many great things simultaneously: recognition for her craft, pregnancy, and love with her fiance.
Hands down best dressed of the night right when I saw her was Mila Kunis. She wore a lilac colored Elie Saab gown that was so dreamy. The detailing of lace in the low cut chest area was not overtly provocative because of the flowy detail of the entire look. She looked so beautiful and her hair and make-up was perfect with this dress, nothing overpowering, but it made a strong statement together that definitely got her noticed.
But what really had people buzzing were the many outfit changes of co-host Anne Hathaway during the 3 hour broadcast. Was it really necessary to change that many times? Regardless, she looked amazing in all of them and it was refreshing to see new faces hosting the biggest awards ceremony. Seeing Anne on-stage with her confidence emitted a genuine feeling of gratitude for the opportunity she was given. GO GIRL!

Listen up kiddies, Ole Teddy Kennedy was doing the hooker and blow routine since Charlie Sheen was just a urge in Martin's sack. If he was still alive he wouldn't believe the amount of attention that little Chucky has been getting. He would remind us that the Kennedy's are America's Royal Family and that fucking sluts and, banging lines the size of I-90, in Chilean brothels with your embassy limo driver is what being an American legend is all about.
Today Lady Gaga released the anticipated video for her hit single "Born This Way." Again, Lady Gaga has managed to trip me out with her videos!
In this video she initially talks about the Manifesto of Mother Monster where a race baring no prejudice or judgement, but boundless freedom was born. Then another race was born, an evil side that promoted violence and war with one another. One strange thing I noticed in the video was that it began with an upside down triangle, then ended with a triangle, like the pyramid referring to possibly the illuminati? (Something to think about...)
It is clear that Lady Gaga's message is to promote equality amongst all despite differences in race or sexual orientation. I truly admire her work. Though people may think she's weird, it's refreshing to see her use her fame to promote a good cause. She actively stands behind the LGBT community and she is very eloquent in her points of view.
Lady Gaga preaches that everyone shouldn't be ashamed for being who they are because we are all unique and gifted. She even confessed at the Grammys that this song was previously made for Whitney Houston to sing it because Lady Gaga herself wasn't comfortable in her own skin. Now Lady Gaga is asserting how proud she is of herself and what she stands for. May everyone who listens to this song be inspired to stay true to themselves and what they believe in.MORE POWER TO YOU!!!
Check out her video!!!

The U.S. Army has posted a number of DADT-related guidelines on its official site where it notes that due to DOMA "there will be no changes to eligibility standards for military benefits and services." Meaning no on-base housing for gay couples and no medical care for spouses.
Here's the Army list "Top Ten Things Soldiers Need To Know" about the repeal of DADT.
1. Accessions & Separations Policies: Upon repeal, the Army will no longer separate Soldiers solely on the basis of homosexual acts, a statement that a Soldier is gay, lesbian or bisexual, or marriage to a person of the same sex. Statements about sexual orientation or lawful acts of gay and lesbian conduct will not be a bar to military service or admission to any accession program. Sexual orientation will continue to be a personal and private matter.
2. Standards of Conduct Apply Equally to Everyone: All Soldiers will be held to the same standard of conduct. All members are responsible for upholding and maintaining high standards of the U.S. Military at all times and in all places.
3. Personal Privacy: Commanders may not establish practices that physically segregate Soldiers according to sexual orientation. Commanders do have the discretion to alter billeting assignments to accommodate privacy concerns of individuals on a case-by-case basis where it is in the interest of maintaining morale, good order and discipline, and is consistent with performance of the mission.
4. Moral and Religious Concerns: There will be no changes regarding any Soldier's free exercise of religious beliefs, nor are there any changes to policies concerning the Chaplain Corps and its duties. The Chaplain Corps' First Amendment freedoms and its duty to care for all will not change. Soldiers will continue to respect and serve with others who may hold different views and beliefs.
5. Benefits: There will be no changes to eligibility standards for military benefits and services. The Defense of Marriage Act prohibits the Federal Government from recognizing any same-sex marriage, so same sex partners do not qualify as dependents for many military benefits and services. A same-sex partner should be treated the same as an unrelated third party (e.g. girlfriend, boyfriend). All Soldiers will continue to have various benefits for which they may designate any beneficiary regardless of relationship.
6. Equal Opportunity: Sexual orientation will not be placed alongside race, color, religion, sex and national origin as a class under the Military Equal Opportunity Program and therefore will not be dealt with through the MEO complaint process. All Soldiers, regardless of sexual orientation are entitled to an environment free from personal, social, or institutional barriers that prevent Soldiers from rising to the highest level of responsibility possible. Harassment or abuse of any kind, including that based on sexual orientation, is unacceptable and will be dealt with through command or inspector general channels.
7. Duty Assignments: There are no changes to assignment policy. All Soldiers will continue to be eligible for world-wide assignment without consideration of sexual orientation. Soldiers assigned to duty, or otherwise serving, in countries in which gay and lesbian conduct is prohibited will abide by the guidance provided to them by their local commanders.
8. Medical Policy: There are no changes to existing medical policies.
9. Release and Service Commitments: There will be no new policy to allow for release from service commitments for Soldiers opposed to repeal of DADT or to serving with gay or lesbian Soldiers.
10. Collection and Retention of Sexual Orientation Data: Sexual orientation is a personal and private matter. Commanders will not request, collect, or maintain information about the sexual orientation of Soldiers.
Teabaggers are chortling about this on Twitter with comments like "You know the country’s gone to hell in a handbasket when Wisconsin protesters break out in a song based on a book about the French Revolution." Family Research Council douchenozzle Tony Perkins just tweeted out the video link with the message: "Funny or just sad?"
Do Yourself a Favor and Watch. Charlie Sheen: CBS owes me an apology, a big one, while licking my feet"
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/41824892#41825237
In the best interview ever made in the history of the world, Charlie Sheen met with the Jeff Rosen of The Today Show and said the following:
When asked if he was sober, "Look at me, duh! Drug tests don't lie. Scoreboard don't lie."
He says that AA is a sham with a 5% success rate and as a retired gambler he needs better odds than that.
He is ecastic that his kids can read about this one day, and they can come to him and get the truth, "Wow! Winning!"
He calls Thomas Jefferson a pussy.
He says CBS is trying to destroy his family by making him unable to support them (I think Latrell Sprewell told him to say this) then follows it up with the classic, "They picked a fight with a warlock."
"Epic Behavior" after the Jeff Rosen read a list of all his partying the last few months.
He never missed a day of shooting but never missed a Practice. We talking bout practice. Yep, he even quotes Allen Iverson and gives him a shout out.
He then brilliantly starts asking unanswerable questions to Two and a Half Men creater Chuck Lorre pretty much blaming everything on him for the show's demise.
"...(AA) is for people who are'nt special, people who don't have tiger blood in them, people without adonis dna."
Watch at 9:54 when Rosen asks him how he can convince a producer to hire him, Chuck looks at him like he's fucking insane for even thinking someone wouldn't want him on their project. Then follows it up with the outstanding line "first of all come Wednesday they are going to name it Charlie Brothers not Warner Brothers, DUH, Winning!"
"Come on bro, I won best picture at 20, I wasn't even trying."
It's official, Charlie Sheen is untouchable. No matter what he does, no matter what he says, people (me especially) are completely fascinated by him and adore him. He is the coolest man on the planet, Duh, Winning. God Bless you Charlie Sheen. There is so much more to this interview, you have to watch it. Best interview I've ever seen.
- Eddie Adams
On last night's post-Oscars episode of the Jimmy Kimmel show, he ran the below exercise parody bit in which he enlists help from Kelly Ripa, Emily Blunt, Jessica Biel, Eva Longoria, Sofia Vergara, and even a self-mocking Lindsay Lohan. It's ridiculawesome.
"The homosexual lifestyle signifies the triumph of neo-pagan Epicureanism. By its very nature, homosexuality cannot fulfill the primary function of sex: procreation and the reproduction of the human race. It is inherently a socially barren act. A homosexual society is a childless one - doomed to extinction. [snip] Contrary to the claims of liberals, marriage is not a 'civil right' - something to be dispensed at the behest of anyone who wishes it. If this were true, it would unleash the floodgates. Polygamy, 'transgender' unions, bestiality, pedophilia - all forms of deviant sexual behavior could claim discrimination. It is a recipe for moral anarchy and social disintegration. For centuries, public acceptance of homosexuality has been identified with decadence, decline and the fall of civilizations." - Washington Times columnist and wingnut radio commentator Jeffrey Kuhner, who says the other 95% of Americans will stop having babies if same-sex marriage becomes legal.

Thanks to my prompt and wonderful YouTube buddy Cwm368 who sent me the link to these great pictures of Anderson & Benjamin taken LAST NIGHT! at the Vanity Fair after Oscar party.
I am so happy to see them together. I remember last year there was only ONE picture of the two of them at the same party and it was showing their backs only. What a relieve to see them both not afraid to be seen together. Who knows, maybe next year they will be holding hands!!! I certainly hope so.
Thanks again to Cwm368. Enjoy his gift!
Anderson looks so happy and proud in this picture above.
I am really happy for him, for them both.
After challenging a fan to a fight via twitter, Andray Blatche tried to back pedal saying someone hacked into his account. However it has now been confirmed that the tweet came directly from Blatche's blackberry.
Basically this guy has lost all street cred right? First he pulled the twitter/email tough guy routine, which I thought was reserved for white males aged 15-20. Then he gets caught lying about him actually posting it. This cat has studio gangster written all over him. The Ja Rule of the NBA if you will. Except nobody knows who Andray Blatche is.
"I think it is a breach of presidential duty bordering on treason. The oath of office by the president says that he will protect, observe, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, which means all of its subsequent laws. The fact that he says that he has asked the Department of Justice not to enforce it, to me, is a breach duty as President of the United States." - Potential 2012 GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain, repeating the "enforcement" lie of the Christiantist right. DOMA remains in full effect and IS being enforced.
Family Research Council head bigot Tony Perkins is once again making the Baby Jeebus cry by telling the American Family Association radio audience that President Obama has "unilaterally decided not to enforce DOMA." In fact, as we all know, the president has merely decided not to defend DOMA and its full enforcement remains in effect.
.
Have they separated?
I haven't seen any more pictures of the two of them together riding their bikes or at the gym or in their Fire Red Firehouse. What happened? Where is Benjamin? I really miss seeing the two of them together. I hope they are still together but the press is not paying much attention any more...
Whatever happened to his hair?!
I guess it ran its regular course and turned totally silver.
I hope it didn't turn silver because he was worried, or depressed,
or stressed over a break up.

In a case that has already seen heavy coverage in the American right-wing press, a British high court has backed a local city council decision to ban foster parents who vow to condemn homosexuality to their children. The case involves Eunice and Owen Johns, who say their right to be foster parents is being denied because of their religious views.
Lord Justice Munby and Mr Justice Beatson ruled that laws protecting people from discrimination because of their sexual orientation "should take precedence" over the right not to be discriminated against on religious grounds. The Johns are considering an appeal. Derby City Council said previously its first duty was to the children in its care, some of whom were very vulnerable. Speaking outside the court in London, Mrs Johns said: "All we wanted was to offer a loving home to a child in need. We have a good track record as foster parents. "We have been excluded because we have moral opinions based on our faith and we feel sidelined because we are Christians with normal, mainstream, Christian views on sexual ethics. We are prepared to love and accept any child. All we were not willing to do was to tell a small child that the practice of homosexuality was a good thing."You can bet that this case will somehow be injected into the DOMA battle.
Some are upset the Academy snubbed Corey Haim in the customary “In Memoriam” montage during last night’s Oscars.
Some?Some? Who's not upset. Corey's charisma and talent caught the eyes of all American's in the '80s. Leaving Haim out of this montage was a slap in the face to everyone watching.

Yesterday Porno Pete LaBarbera posted the above boycott letter sent to the management group of Chili's Restaurants because of a donation the company made to support the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force's annual Creating Change conference. LaBarbera is especially angry because his "undercover spies" reported that the conference featured (GASP!) unisex restrooms. Outrageous!
Lots of companies, of course, donate to the Task Force, but Porno Pete's boycott against Chili's is actually meant as a response to the "hateful anti-Christian" boycott of Chick-Fil-A. But let's use his link anyway and thank Chili's for supporting the civil equality of all Americans.
Thank Chili's for supporting equality.
