| First and foremost: CONGRATULATIONS MARYLAND! As soon as Governor O'Malley signs, you'll be the 8th state recognizing gay marriage. No doubt he'll sign, since he originally helped spearhead the effort. Just two more states and 20% will recognize gay marriage. Imagine a map of the US in five years where the states that recognize would be coloured with rainbows and the rest would be greyed out. I imagine that 10 years from now, we'll be one big rainbow! ___________ At the other end of the spectrum, that being people who want to take us back to the pre-Civil War days, there's Gordon Warren Epperly of Juneau (the capital of Alaska) who filed suit to keep Barack Obama off the presidential ballot for not being an American. Wait, wait....not just for being born in Kenya but because blacks and mulattoes are not actually American. Here it is: As the Fourteenth Amendment is only a grant of "Civil Rights" and not a grant of "Political Rights," Barack Hussein Obama II does not have any "Political Rights" under any provision of the United States Constitution to hold any Public Office of the United States government.
Read it and shake your head. Of course, the racist filed pro se. ___________ And then there's Marco Rubio, potential GOP veep candidate. Did you know that in addition to lying about when his parents came to America, he also used to be a Mormon? I didn't, but it's true. I'm wondering whether Epperly's racism trumps his "anti-Christian" bias...Before we leave Marco, another interesting tidbit is that the reason last fall's Univision debate was canceled was because of a fight Marco had with the network. Depending on who you believe, Univision tried to "bully" Marco into an interview, or (more likely) he was just mad at them for reporting that his cousin was a convicted drug dealer. ___________ Going west, it turns out that Sheriff Babeau might have illegally paid his then-boyfriend for web work. If so, it means that not only did he likely threaten Jose with deportation for outing him, but he used campaign funds to pay someone in the US on a tourist visa. Gotta love those hypocrites. ___________ Finally, it turns out that Dick Lugar might not actually live in Indiana, and therefore might not qualify for the ballot there. Really. |
