Same sex marriage equality in Columbia, South America

Oh the irony: The Cocain Capitol of the Planet gives same-sex marriage equality while Californian’s watch their own marriage rights burn to the ground:
Gay and lesbian couples in Colombia are entitled to the same rights as straight couples in common-law marriages, the country’s Constitutional Court ruled yesterday.
In April 2008 gay rights group Colombia Diversa, the [...]

Found in President Obama’s Oval Office trash-can

From the Huffington Post:
It’s what I would expect from a C Average student from Yale, don’t you think?
Barbara Bush will be the only person on the planet who will tell you that George W was “special”. The rest of the Planet? …Not so much!

Camp Coleman: It’s an excercize in Stupidity

Aww…Come on! That was a great title! And, I’m right: Camp Coleman is an exercize in stupidity!
Consider just last December 31, in a hurry to get rid of ballots, Camp Coleman began driving around Minnesota to inform the voting public who’s ballots wouldn’t be counted.
Shirley Graham was astonished to learn that a [...]

Good-bye to the famous Brass Rail

It isn’t the oldest gay bar in the Twin Cities, but it’s in the top three!  The Brass Rail closed its doors last night with some weird politicizing going on behind the scenes. The place was nose-diving in the past month to the point of obscurity, so it was bound to happen.  In case you [...]

41 Republicans on the wall; Take one down, Pass him around…

They just can’t get their act together. The GOP has 41 seats in the US Senate and they’re barely hanging on to what they have at that.

Bush, The Unloved

Aww… This is sad news!
But wafting around Bush on Tuesday were sights and sounds that his tenure, which began with controversy eight years ago, had ended in controversy as well.

As [...]

Madonna nude, complete with hairy bush

Americans are so touchy about nudity. I remember a trip to Florence, seeing Michelangelo’s Il David for the first time. You could pick out the Americans like seeds in a watermelon spitting contest. It was the Euro Trash standing around appreciating the piece, studying dimension, portion and attention to detail.
So here you [...]

News Flash! A Democrat found his spine! News Flash!

Rut-roh Scooby! It would appear that Congressman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) has found his spine! In an unprecedented move on behalf of any Democrat, Congressman Conyers decided to write a spiffy little piece in the Washington Post today calling an investigation into the Bush Administration!
I know! I know! It’s [...]

Feeling Shafted?! Join the crowd!

How’s this for a bit of dishonesty from your friendly local petroleum companies…
Oil prices fell below $40 per barrel Friday for the first time this year as the government reported the nation’s worst annual job losses since World War II.
People are traveling less, manufacturers are slashing production and there are job cuts across almost every [...]
