IS SHE OR ISN'T SHE....?????

After her Supreme Court nomination was announced by President Obama, the mainstream media "tactfully spilled the beans", releasing a photo of Elena Kagan playing softball, and thinking themselves oh so clever by implying that she might be a lesbian because she played sports. Although cliche, still not as incriminating as a picture of her with a mullet and wearing Birkenstocks. But none the less, depending who you are, this might truly be news worthy on so many levels....another woman justice, our first gay justice (that we know of)...pretty cool, right? But those of us "in the community" blessed with the gift of gay-dar knew from the moment the first photo of the newbie was released she's probably a sister and there is truly cause to celebrate. Let's hope she does us proud by upholding the Constitution of the United States as our forefathers intended, for it is because of this great document and foundation on which this country was founded that in the year 2010, we could have an African American President, a gay Supreme Court justice, and if everything goes right next election, our first woman president. It's been a long, hard road to get here and we still have a long way to go, but despite all it's faults, USA rules! Happy 234th America!!!!

"Don't Ask" my ass....!!!

Don't ask don't tell has to be the dumbest policy ever enacted in the history of the United States...and believe me, there have been many. Gay men and women are willing to put their lives on the line in defense of this country and the values it stands for, such as... freedom, democracy and human rights for all. Yet they themselves are the victims of discrimination within the very ranks that they serve and if a gay recruit should dare confess his or her sexuality, they are immediately discharged from the service, no matter what their rank or duties. It seems a little hard to believe that the brave men and women who serve on the front lines of Afghanistan and Iraq and face suicide bombers and insurgents every day would be afraid of a little 'ole homo, doesn't it? I've always heard about the strong bond that exist within the military and the "brotherhood" that profess such promises as "be all that you can be" and "no man left behind"....you'd think that the same commitment & loyalty would be shown to it's gay brethren who serve and fight along side them. After all, if every enlisted man and woman, gay or straight, protested the policy and refused to enlist or serve until the policy was changed or over turned, we would see results, quick....but if we don't, I suggest we use this "stupid" policy as our new exit strategy in the middle east. Everyone comes out of the closet and goes home!

WE THE PEOPLE.......

On March 20, 2010, the congress of the United States of America passed a health care bill that some say was historic, while others say it was unconstitutional. Pro arguments for the bill justify its passage by saying that health care is a right and we must do anything we have to do to get it past...in other words, the end justifies the means. The cons say that the congress did not play by the rules or listen to the American people when they decided to use reconciliation to pass the bill. After hearing such arguments continuously on the 24 hour news cycle, as well as talk radio, one has to wonder... when was the last time members of congress or the American people actually read the Constitution? In case any one's interested, I'd like to do my little part by passing along the following link so anyone who would like can refresh their constitutional know-how. After actually reading it, maybe then an honest opinion can be made. The Constitution of the United States

GOP goes GAY.....

This has been quite a week for opposites and underdogs. In Massachusetts, the bluest of blue states, a republican takes the senate seat of Senator Ted Kennedy and not just any republican, a pro-abortion republican who supports Roe v. Wade and who has the same opinion on gay marriage as President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Then, as if that wasn't enough, Cindy McCain, wife of republican Senator John McCain, comes out against California's Prop. 8 and in support of gay marriage! Could this be....have I finally found my perfect party? A party that is fiscally and economically conservative but liberal on social topics such as abortion and gay marriage? This is definitely a sign that the republican party is poised and set on taking back the house and senate this fall, no matter what it takes. What next...will Sarah Palin announce she's giving up hunting? The moose of Alaska can only hope and prey!

IF THESE STARS WERE STILL ALIVE......

Elvis Presley, the King of Rock n Roll, would have turned 75 years old this week. It's pretty hard to believe, but he wasn't the only celebrity having a birthday. Check out this cool link to see who else has a B-day coming up and how old they would have been. For all you baby boomers out there, I have to warn you, it's not pretty and some are a real reminder of just how old we're all getting!

Celebrity Birthdays

MUCH A-DO ABOUT NOTHING......

So what is it with the American public? It seems like our national past time is creating heroes and idols just so we can watch them fall. Most recently golf legend Tiger Woods and American Idol sweetheart, Adam Lambert. Perhaps the standards we set for celebrates are way too high for anyone to live up to. I recently watched a series on The History Channel called World War II in HD. I can't begin to define how I felt after watching this extraordinary program but I can say this, after seeing what horrors and conditions these ordinary men and women had to endure, and what they accomplished, others pale in comparison as role models. They were truly the greatest generation. Yet they kept their silence and humility and came back to their ordinary lives to live out their days knowing they had stepped up to do what needed to be done. That is how all celebrity should be treated. Everyone is human, even the greatest of heroes and sometimes, someone will shine a little brighter because of a particular talent or situation..... a singer should be admired for their singing, an athlete for their athletic ability, a politician for their political beliefs, but beneath it all, they're only human and nothing else. If we don't start realizing this and redefine our definition of a hero, then there will never be another.
