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.

But backers of [...]

Staystrong

The Feds have dropped their doping investigation against Lance Armstrong.

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.

Buffet’s Smorgasbord of Hypocrisy

Floyd — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:02:10 +0000

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

Floyd — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:14:49 +0000

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.

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.

Keystone XL — Winners

Floyd — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:45:41 +0000

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

Floyd — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 11:49:46 +0000

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 [...]
