Oh why can't our opposition ever stop and say to themselves, "Wait a minute -- aren't we doing the very thing that we're accusing the gays of doing?" We ask this after seeing the following blurb over on Focus on...

I feel like maybe I misjudged gay "celebrity" Reichen when I bashed him and Lance for popping up all over the tabs...not because they were contributing to society...so much as they are gay and Lance used to be a back up signer in Justin Timberlake's band.As any sane person in the spot light knows, the best way to handle personal and upsetting issues (like his latest break up with model Ryan Barry), is via your MySpace...or if you're Marc Jacobs and Jason Preston, Facebook. Reichen has recently changed his MySpace status to "single" and he changed his headline (previously probably some lame Rent or Will & Grace quote) to read "ou Shady Lying Sack of Shit. You’re BEYOND Gross. What an Idiot I Have Been!"Reichen goes on to share his romance tips:"Never believe them when they say they’re i

Israel's U.N. envoy calls Jimmy Carter bigot | Politics | Reuters Speaking to reporters at a gathering in New York organized by The Israel Project, Gillerman said that he was saddened by the meeting and that in his mind Carter had become "what I believe to be a bigot" for having the meeting. Carter "went to the region with soiled hands and came back with bloody hands," he said.I was so shocked and appalled by anyone calling Jimmy Carter a bigot that I even had to look the term up, just to make sure it meant what I thought it meant. Just to be clear:bigot - Definitions A person who regards his own faith and views in matters of religion as unquestionably right, and any belief or opinion opposed to or differing from them as unreasonable or wicked. In an extended sense, a person who is into

I am beat. So tired. Aching like hell. And darn sleepyyy.. Before you get all confused, lemme tell you guys a story. Once upon a morning (today), I decided to make good on my word and make "Shoesie" my best friend. At the moment, though.. I don't feel like hanging out with "Shoesie" much. What happened was, after a restless sleep of 2 and a half hours, Mom woke me up at close to 7.30 am and

When everyone in the world was piling on Bill Clinton for his notorious "last-minute" pardons - because it was easy enough to do - former President Jimmy Carter was right there in the crowd, throwing his own flames. Carter condemned Clinton for granting pardons late in the term, for doing so in the face of the opinions of law enforcement officials and for granting clemency in exchange for gifts and donations. However, in previous posts here and here, we have documented that Carter 1) had his own fourth year pardon surge, and 2) it included a spree in the last several weeks of his administration. Carter also 3) granted clemency over the protests of law enforcement officials and 4) was not blind to the financial support pardon applicants provided to his party.That all being said, what did Ji

From here. We always knew that Republicans were jerks, but they often do such a good job of mugging for the cameras that it's hard to get that story out to the public. Oh, come on, people say, do they really hate brown people and the poor and the gays and the disabled? Yeah, they do. But from Newt Gingrich to Rudi Giuliani, they also tend to hate on their wives, those lumps in the bed next to them, which I guess is just the natural consequence of being misogynist creeps. It's also an easy point of character reference for the body politic, which is perhaps why the press has so delicately refrained from pointing out what terrible spouses so many of these wingnuts really are. And being a jerk in public to your spouse, humiliating them, the person who will put up with more crap from you tha

In a previous post - here - we noted the clumsy hypocrisy that surrounded former President Jimmy Carter's criticism of Bill Clinton's controversial, late-term pardons, including that of Marc Rich. We noted that Carter granted most of his pardons in the fourth year of his term as well and that he also granted clemency to a wealthy individual, Frederic B. Ingram, in the face of explicit protests by Department of Justice officials. But Carter's hypocrisy did not simply stretch to a single clemency decision.Carter complained that a number of Clinton’s last-minute pardons were “quite questionable,” if not “disgraceful” because there was not “any doubt” that “some of the factors in [them] were attributable to large gifts.” Amazingly enough, the Associated Press propped up the c

Carol Felsenthal, who is writing a book about Bill Clinton in the post-Clinton era, has written an editorial about the strained relationship between Clinton and fellow former president Jimmy Carter. Along the way she notes:... Jimmy Carter repaid Bill Clinton and then some by going his own way on foreign affairs in the 1990s; by publicly rebuking Clinton's morals when he was at his nadir; after Monica, after the Marc Rich pardon; in that schoolmarmish manner that only Carter can muster ... Felsenthal's book will be out in May, so she is concerned that she does not "step on" her own material. Not having the same concerns, I thought I would step a few places I suspect she will not be stepping at all: In a 2001 speech at Georgia Southwestern State University, Carter called Clinton’s pardon

The gold and silver wires are delicately inlaid into incised lines on this metalwork’s surface to create elegant images of phoenix, arabesque and Chinese characters meaning long life and good fortune.

Seductively spicy, my curried kettle corn creation (lovely alliteration) started earlier in the week when I made an afternoon popcorn snack. The snack coincided with my recent fascination with Anjum Anand and Indian cookery. I wondered whether I could apply the curry flavors to my popcorn. I love popcorn and could easily eat it for every meal -- actually, in grad school I did eat it for

Barack Obama takes heat over NAFTA memo, Rezko -- chicagotribune.com "Apparently, what seems to have occurred is that the Obama campaign had Sen. Obama in Ohio making speeches against NAFTA and having his chief economic adviser making it clear in Canada that he doesn't really mean it," she told an Ohio-market TV station. "I think that raises real questions of credibility." It continues to amaze me that Hillary Clinton can attack Obama for positions she holds. Let's be clear. Hillary supported and championed NAFTA. Wrote about how great NAFTA is in her book. When she started running for president she suddenly doesn't like NAFTA. On the other hand, Obama has always had questions about free trade. He has never been in favor of isolationism, but believes the deals we have could be bette

*I just discovered that this post must have gotten lost in one of our server crashes, so I'm reposting it.*  Response to Bruce Walker's "The Godless Delusion" Kelly O'Connor   Bruce Walker's anti-atheist diatribe, printed in a magazine that touts itself as The American Thinker, is the ultimate in irony. This story is the clear byproduct of one who appears to be incapable of rational thought and instead chooses to regurgitate rhetoric that was likely force-fed to him in those weekly indoctrination camps known as churches. Mr. Walker starts out his vitriolic falsehoods with the contention that all people instinctively know right from wrong and that people choose evil. If that is so, then why the heavy Christian emphasis on child-rearing? If w

Every year, the WJET/WFXP anchors and staff pick a day to ring a bell for the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign. This year, it was today. Except for last year, when dh was sick with bronchitis and pneumonia at the same time, he usually chooses to play Christmas tunes on his trumpet. It’s fun, and people seem to enjoy it. It gives it a bit of a twist, rather than ringing the bell. Alex and I went with him today, and I snapped a couple of shots. Merry Christmas!

comment on thee federal response to the wildfires in california:"We have learned those lessons (from Katrina) and those lessons are being applied...The White House needs to recognize that we are overstretched and that there is a problem. They need to increase the size of the regular Army and stop relying so much on the National Guard.”damn skippy, right? but guess who said it...yep, eck of a job brownie," aka michael brown of arabian horse and fema fame. oy.

Keyshawn Johnson interviewed Chad Johnson and told him to cut out all of his antics. Yeah, that makes sense. Also, people are giving Key kudos for not asking softball questions, but am I wrong or aren't Key and Ocho Cinco related? Sure would make it easier to ask certain questions if they are, don't you think? I'm not clear on that though. Wikipedia says that they aren't related, but that USClegends.org and The FanHouse say that they are related. Eh, all Johnson's look the same to me.STUB HUB: The Safe Way to Buy & Sell Tickets Online

Self prescribed "ex-gay" Stephen Bennett, has responded to recent comments by Dear Abby author, Jeanne Phillips. Jeanne recently made comments supporting gay rights:"I believe if two people want to commit to each other, God bless 'em. That is the highest form of commitment, for heaven's sake....If gay Americans are not allowed to get married and have all the benefits that American citizens are entitled to by the Bill of Rights, they should get one hell of a tax break. That is my opinion." [source]And here's what Scum of the Earth....I mean Stephen had to say..."'Dear Abby's' ignorant advice will only cause more harm and pain to a confused society, and not only to the homosexual individual, but to EVERY family member and friend involved. Dear Abby,' stick to what little you know -- and forget about that which you don't. Encouraging young 'gay' men to accept themselves as such can lead to an early death.

This past month I've experimented with two types of paintings. One with canvas over wood (CoW) and one without. This painting is a complete opposite of my CoW paintings. The smooth surface adds an almost hyper realism to this very unique and strong still life. The painting is that of cow kettle on a stove. This has to be one of my favorites. The cool grayish and blue tones among high reflective surfaces are complimented by the strong reds in the cow's nose. This painting contains many levels of grays and blues but the painting stands on its unusual and original composition. I don't know if I should laugh or stare at this thing.Click Here to Bid

From a Christian perspective, spotting religious intolerance is a fairly simple matter. Odds are, if you are an atheist, you are intolerant. And yet, this is a simplicity based on irrationality and Christian privilege. What is religious intolerance, how should we recognize it, and is it a crime of which all atheists are guilty?Christians Accuse Atheists of Religious IntoleranceFirst, anyone who openly criticizes the idiosyncratic beliefs of a particular Christian is guilty of intolerance. This is true even if the critic is simply pointing out inconsistencies between an individual believer's belief system and the Christian bible or other official doctrine of a recognized religious group. Of course, critics of the bible itself or mainstream Christian doctrine will also be accused of intolerance, but what matters most is the individual believer's unique interpretation and personal experience (e.g., revelation). Anyone who questions this is labeled as intolerant.Second, anyone who dares

I'm sure everyone understand the meaning behind the phrase "The pot calling the kettle black", right? But in case you don't... The phrase "Pot calling the kettle black" is an idiom, used to accuse another speaker of hypocrisy, in that the speaker disparages the subject in a way that could equally be applied to him or her. In former times cast iron pots and kettles were quickly blackened from the soot of the fire. If personified into animate objects, the pot would then be hypocritical to insult the kettle's colour. - From Wikipedia. It's quite hilarious if you ask me. Oh well, I'm not going to elaborate on the matter. So... Yeah... Enjoy the suspense. CheerZ~ Advertisement:

A04372 is a State Assembly bill resulting from a concurrent resolution with the State Senate to amend the State Constitution. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Amends Section 2 of Article 3, Section l of Article 4, and Section l of Article 5 to limit the Governor, Lieutenant  Governor,  Comptroller  and  Attorney  General  to no more than two consecutive terms in any one office. Generally speaking, I’m not a huge fan of term limits.  I will leave that for another time. I do find it quite hilarious that the Assembly, touted as the most dysfunctional in the Nation, is concerning itself with improving the executive branch. The efficiency  of government  would  be  increased by a continuous influx of new representatives with new ideas.  By ensuring these elected representatives serve no more than 8 years in office, continuity of leadership would still  be assured. The last phrase I would ever use to describe New York

Smart Stuff reader and tipster Austin L. writes to let us know of this smart almost 100 years old design for an outdoor kettle. The Kelly Kettle is manufactured by Patrick & Seamus Kelly in Ballina, County Mayo, Ireland, the fourth generation of the Kelly family associated with the Kelly Kettle. The kettle, sometimes also called the volcano kettle, uses a double walled metal flask that is heated via the internal chimney. This provides fast boiling, safe and weather protected handling (no open fire) and virtually no fuel costs, since the kettle is promised to burn almost anything from newspapers, tinders and small twigs to dried camel dung. The kettles are available in two sizes; 1 pt. for EUR 55:- (USD 66:50) and 2.5 pt. for EUR 62:50 (or USD 75:50) from the Kelly Kettle webstore. Thanks, Austin, for the tip!/Ed.
