Fay Accompli

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled California’s Prop. 8 banning gay marriage to be unconstitutional. Over to Col. Renault who is no doubt shocked!

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that Proposition 8, California’s voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, is unconstitutional.

Staystrong

The Feds have dropped their doping investigation against Lance Armstrong.

http://yhoo.it/wEM7io

I’m of two minds on both the man and the case.

I firmly believe in the presumption of innocence and know that many of his accusers are liars, rent-seekers, or both. He’s also not given a dirty test. How do I know? The [...]

Oedipus Wrecks

This man… 48 year old John Goodman adopted his 42 year old girl friend in Florida… Why? Isn’t it obvious?

Polo club founder John Goodman has adopted his longtime adult girlfriend as his legal daughter in what plaintiff’s attorneys are calling an attempt to shield assets from a civil suit filed by the parents [...]

Stay Away From the Tapioca

This case is the textbook “hanging is too good for him” case.

I doubt this teacher will get what he fully deserves though.

If the mobile link doesn’t work here is the New York Daily News version.

Buffet’s Smorgasbord of Hypocrisy

I’ll admit I never paid much attention to Warren Buffet — the so called “Sage of Omaha” — until he started yammering about higher taxes. Heck, I probably would have assumed he was a Republican I knew so little about him other than being a billionaire and having the Midas touch in investments. Sadly [...]

Ironically… When Choosing Flooring She Also Chooses Carpet Over Wood

Actress — and lesbian — Cynthia Nixon, most famously from Sex and the City, has run afoul of the gay PC mafia by stating that she chose to be gay.

Cynthia Nixon learned the hard way this week that when it comes to gay civil rights, the personal is always political. Very political.

The [...]

Open Up and Say AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

Going to the dentist is squirm-inducing enough on a good day. Crap like this doesn’t help:

A former dentist in the U.S. has pleaded guilty to fraud for using paper clips instead of stainless steel posts in root canals.

Michael Clair will be sentenced next Monday after pleading guilty last week in a Massachusetts [...]

Keystone XL — Winners

We all know who the losers are in Obama’s decision to nix the Keystone XL oil pipeline project… workers, gas consumers, the American economy and the country in general of course. If there are losers there must of course be winners. We already know the Gaia Cult won, but surely there are others… one [...]

National Sanctity of Human Life Day

In January of 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed January 22 — the anniversary date of Roe v. Wade — National Sanctity of Human Life Day (Bush and Bush continued the proclamations, Clinton and Obama did not of course). Politically, he is correct of course in one major way… a correct and reasonable interpretation of [...]

Down and Dirty — BUMPED AND UPDATED

Here’s an “interesting” story out of Iowa from The Des Moines Register:

A Des Moines man has been arrested after police say he used, or tried to use, the identity of Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz in a scheme to falsely implicate Schultz in perceived unethical behavior in office.

Zachary Edwards was arrested Friday [...]

Closing the Door Behind You

A pretty consistent question I get from students over the years is why do liberals often appear to be either very rich or very poor. The very por are easy to explain… they are often direct beneficiaries of government largesse. But what do affluent people get from big government liberal policies like the environmental [...]

No Explanation Needed

Indeed.

A man who had pleaded guilty to DUI manslaughter stemming from a crash near Tampa, Fla., on Christmas Day 2007 now denies causing the crash that killed three of the four people in the vehicle he hit.

David Belniak has sued the estate of Ray McWilliams, the now-deceased driver of the other vehicle, [...]

This is Awesome

This is Exhibit A that despite real misgivings about all of the GOP slate of candidates…. all of them (OK — maybe not Ron Paul — but only because he’d allow WW3 to start with his foreign policy) — are a damn sight better than Barack Obama. Republicans have had it up to here… [...]

Gun Control — Emphasis on Control

Instapundit linked to a great piece by Michael Walsh in The New York Post on the origins of New York’s gun control laws:

Recent months have seen a former Marine from Indiana, a Tea Party activist from California and a nurse from Tennessee all arrested and charged in New York City for possession of [...]

Just Say No

I’ve told a cop he couldn’t search my vehicle before… don’t come fishing in these waters without probable cause Ponch. Now I don’t blame the cop for asking… why not? He is however a huge tool. If this cop had a leg to stand on he’d be asses and elbows in the car and [...]

They Are Empty Vessels! I Didn’t Say Empty Your Vessels!!!!

Some Marines are in trouble for peeing on the dead bodies of some Taliban. I guess on some level I wish they hadn’t done that, but my “give a damn” just isn’t too worked about it. My main issue… why WHY did they videotape it? Good Lord that was breathtakingly dumb.

Top U.S. officials moved [...]

A War on Baby Girls?

Here’s a sobering look, from the American Enterprise Institute’s Nicholas Eberstadt in The New Atlantis, at the rise of “selective abortion” around the world and sex-ratio at birth (SRB) stats and the demographic and social implications of the looming lack of girls and women:

Over the past three decades the world has come to witness [...]

The Final Word on Rick Santorum’s Grief Process

It’s really simple… if you think the way Rick Santorum handled the death of his child in 1996 is worthy of ridicule — you’re an asshole. Jessica Haslem has written a piece called “Our Bereavement is Our Own” at The Boston Herald with a word for critics… it is well worth your time:

At first [...]
