The POTUS is in town! The POTUS is in town! Hopefully, he won’t be upset that they painted over the garage bearing his likeness at 12th and John and replaced it with this crap…
Oh, and don’t forget to vote today! (And, as many times as you can get away with…) If you don’t know WHO to vote for, check out the Stranger’s endorsements or go to this progressive website…or, do a little research on your own, lazy ass! If you’re a dumbass Log Cabin type, then don’t vote at all…go to the beach or reflect on your foolishness…
The evil Phelps Family/Westboro Baptist Church assholes from Topeka, (the lovely folks who picket funerals and gay events with hateful messages) win a victory in court. Federal judge overturns Missouri law banning picketing at military funerals. I hate the Phelps but Free Speech IS Free Speech…you gotta take the crapola with the granola.
More irritating court news: the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rules that California CANNOT issue same-sex marriage licenses while it considers the constitutionality of the state’s gay marriage ban, aka, Proposition 8. Arguments in the case won’t begin until the first week in December. This is annoying but maybe it’s best that this will wait until AFTER the midterm elections in November…we don’t want gay marriage to become a political hot potato; the Dems have enough stuff to deal with…
Naughty Marine in deep doo-doo…baritone horn player (HA!) Sgt Matthew W. Simmons is charged with violating Article 32, “concerning indecent acts and sodomy while involved in the production of adult pornography.” The marine, stationed in Washington DC who performs with the marine band, allegedly performed under the name “Christian Jade” and judging by the pictures I found online of Mr “Jade” it’s a bit surprising that he’s a Marine…he’s a bit twinky for that branch of the service. Meanwhile, inquiring minds want to know, will this end up as a plotline on a future episode of “NCIS”? I can’t picture Mark Harmon spouting out dialogue that could include phrases like, “Pass around party bottom” on a CBS crime procedural…
Happy Birfdays to our favorite Go-Go, Belinda Carlisle who turns, GULP, 52! Also, our favorite Gleester, (or the one we’d most like to boff) Mark “Puck” Saling turns 28 which means he might PLAY an underage youth on TV, but in real life he’s been boffable for a decade!
