New Hampshire Makes It Six

When New Hampshire governor, Democrat John Lynch, signed the bill this week making gay marriage legal, the New England state joined five others, in giving the gays the kind of rights the rest of us normal people thought we could hog to ourselves.

Little Rhode Island is now the single holdout in New England, but a bill is in the works to permit lovers of Family Guy, quahogs, and hawt cawfee have the right to get hitched, no matter what their genders.

Governor Lynch had insisted that protections be placed in the bill to shield religious institutions, which did not want to perform or recognize same-sex marriages. Supporters of the bill decried Lynch's actions as supporting bigotry. Detractors of the bill believed they had finally killed gay marriage in the Granite State, when the state legislature relegated the bill to committee.

People of both sides believed the bill was essentially dead for this session.

But then the legislature very quietly addressed the governor's concerns, and the bill was sent to him, and he signed it.

Opponents of gay marriage may just want to get their samurai swords ready for the traditional hari kari. The New Hampshire bill may serve as a model for other states, which are speedily passing gay rights measures. No state is immune from this scourge of equality.

In Utah, that home of Mormons, Big Love, and the Osmonds, the former Republican governor Jon Huntsman, Jr., supported civil unions before he was whisked away by President Obama to be Ambassador to China. Nevada just passed "everything but marriage" civil unions for same-sex couples. It seems that some people in Las Vegas finally figured out that in this horrible economy, the only people left who have money are the homos.

All totalled, six states now have gay marriage: Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maine. Five additional states offer full privileges to same-sex couples, but just provide a different term called "civil unions:" California, Oregon, New Jersey, Washington, and Nevada. New York and Rhode Island are actively persuing gay marriage. Several other states, including Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Oregon, and Hawaii are looking at either option. Washington, D.C. and New York both recognize out-of-state gay marriages.

It seems gay people are no longer content with screaming "we're here, we're queer, get used to it" in the streets. Now they send out gilded invitations, make an announcement in the Times, and get registered at Bergdorf-Goodman.

Equality: It's just not for heteros anymore.

Sotomayor is an Empathetic Racist

The talking heads have been doing the television circuit recently decrying President Barack Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court to replace Justice Souter as a racist, activist judge with empathetic leans and tits.

The titular head—not to be confused with boob head—of the Republican Party, Rush Limbaugh, reaffirmed his accusations of racism against Sotomayor, even as Newt “Don’t Call Me Kermit” Gingrich was back peddling faster than Senator Jeff Sessions at a NAACP meeting.

It seems that someone bothered to tell the Republican Party that their recent losses in nearly every demographic group would not be helped by alienating the fastest growing minority in the United States: Latinos. The only two groups, which Republicans are making modest gains with, are the two groups, which are actually shrinking: old people and conservative Christians. And with the Rapture due any day, all they will have left are the old bastards, who will be dying off at any time now.

Indeed the only other major conservative force who did not back down from assertions that Sotomayor hates white men because she is aware that she is not one, was Pat Buchanan. But Pat may not be the best judge of character when it comes to racism. I’m not saying the man has a thing against African American, but let’s just put it this way: he’s the guy who gave Susan Smith the idea to blame it on a black guy.

The only thing worse than Sonia Sotomayor’s awful racism, and massive tits, is her empathy. There is nothing more dangerous than an empathetic racist. Anyone who can hate someone based on race and then put himself in his shoes is just horrible.

Republicans must stand their ground, and stop this activist, racist, empathetic judge who will legislate from the bench and may actually be a stealth pro-lifer. We must filibuster her, now that we are in the minority and filibustering judges is our Hail Mary pass.

And did I mention she has tits?

Grasshopper Found Dead

David Carradine, famous for his role as the trainee in the 1970’s ABC drama Kung Fu, was found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok this week where he was filming his latest motion picture.

Mystery shrouds Carradine’s death. Initial reports indicated a possible suicide, since he was said to have been found hanging by a curtain in his closet. Later stories seemed to point to an accidental death caused by autoerotic asphyxiation. But a physician interviewed on Larry King rejected the theory. And now the FBI is actively investigating the actor’s death.

Whatever the ultimate cause of death is for the 72-year-old actor, he will be missed. His most recent memorable role was as Bill in the Kill Bill double feature from Quentin Tarantino.

But those of us over 40 will always remember him as grasshopper, the young martial arts apprentice who’s Chinese and American parents helped him bridge the gap between East and West.

David Carradine, dead of mysterious causes at age 72.

Air France 447 Crashes in Atlantic

An Airbus 330 flying from Brazil to France went down in a storm this week, leaving few clues as to the cause. The plane reported back to Air France that an electrical failure and a loss of cabin pressure had occurred, but no distress signal was ever sent.

Brazilian, American, and French ships and planes are now searching for the black boxes from the doomed flight. But the wreckage may lie under as much as three miles of water, making recovery difficult.

The clock is ticking, since the black boxes—actually colored bright orange—have batteries, which is last for just two weeks.

The only other fatal crash of an Airbus 330 was during a test flight.

Abortion Doctor Murdered

WICHITA, Kan. – Dr. George Tiller, one of the nation's few providers of late-term abortions despite decades of protests and attacks, was shot and killed Sunday in a church where he was serving as an usher.

The gunman fled, but a 51-year-old suspect was detained some 170 miles away in suburban Kansas City three hours after the shooting, Wichita Deputy Police Chief Tom Stolz said.

Although Stolz refused to release the man's name, Johnson County sheriff's spokesman Tom Erickson identified the detained man as Scott Roeder. He has not been charged in the slaying and was expected to be taken to Wichita for questioning.

Court records and Internet postings show that someone using the name Scott Roeder has a criminal past and has expressed anti-abortion opinions on sympathetic Web sites.

Long a focus of national anti-abortion groups, including a summer-long protest in 1991, Tiller was shot in the foyer of Reformation Lutheran Church. Tiller's attorney, Dan Monnat, said Tiller's wife, Jeanne, was in the choir at the time.

The slaying of the 67-year-old doctor is "an unspeakable tragedy," his widow, four children and 10 grandchildren said in statement. "This is particularly heart-wrenching because George was shot down in his house of worship, a place of peace."

The family said its loss "is also a loss for the city of Wichita and women across America. George dedicated his life to providing women with high-quality health care despite frequent threats and violence."

Stolz said all indications were that the gunman acted alone, although authorities were investigating whether he had any connection to anti-abortion groups.

Tiller's Women's Health Care Services clinic is one of just three in the nation where abortions are performed after the 21st week of pregnancy. The clinic was heavily fortified and Tiller often traveled with a bodyguard, but Stolz said there was no indication of security at the church Sunday.

Anti-abortion groups denounced the shooting and stressed that they support only nonviolent protest. The movement's leaders fear the killing could create a backlash just as they are scrutinizing U.S. Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, whose views on abortion rights are not publicly known. Link

This had to be a poetic murder by the assailant!
To kill an abortionist in the House of God. Its the same ole story - Baby Killers must be stopped! And God-fearing Christians are the only ones who can take the law into their own hands and stop a Killer of innocent children. God will be proud of this act of defiance! This is the assailant's hardcore belief!

The anti-abortion group may denounce this shooting publicly, but privately, I know they are cheering and thrilled.
One less abortionist in this world = more babies are saved!

Legal abortions can only be performed in a medical clinic under a licensed doctor. Kill the doctor and the clinic will not have a licensed physician = clinic will be closed. This is logical.

But this one step forward to save unborn babies today from Dr. George Tiller will bring an adverse 2+ steps back for the Pro-life Cause tomorrow!
This is reminiscent of bombing abortion clinics where not just the doctor, but workers and innocent people are killed - the families, friends and allies of the fallen will campaign for their cause.

Cold-Blooded murder of abortionists will NOT eliminate the fight against Abortion! It will increase it!

Just as the torture of terrorists will Not eliminate the fight against Terrorism!
