From the Department of I Told You So In California, it may soon be legal for gay men to list themselves as “mother” on birth certificates, and similarly, for lesbians to cite themselves as “father.” […] Currently, birth certificate documents in the state have a space for “mother” and another space for “father.” AB 1951 sponsor Jimmy Gomez, a Democrat who represents Los Angeles, says the form is discriminatory and

Oh, the RAGE!
Too good not to share. And for the record, I can’t see what the sign says, but my guess is it’s some religious condemnation of homosexuality. Then again, judging by the reaction of the student to the protester, it could just as easily say “Short, dumpy, shrieking people who don’t wish to be offended, and will therefore courageously offend anyone who offends them (because they are intolerant of intolerance!) —
So, while I was reaquainting myself with politics
My two-year old, after drawing all over the TV screen with crayon, managed to hit some combination of buttons that has left me with a purple screen I can’t get rid of. No picture. Just what looks like a super close-up of Barney’s hind quarters. Or maybe Smurf porn. Wife is out of town on business, and while I was attempting to address the TV issue, the boy pulled down
Sterling’s silver (lining)
Been meaning to comment on this for some time, but at NRO, A.J. Delgado provides the jumping off point: “Go Get ‘Em, Donald!” TMZ reported last week that embattled L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling is considering suing the National Basketball Association. But according to the Los Angeles Daily News, Sterling has been rejected by at least eight law firms, who worry that taking him on as a client may upset
Wait. There’s something familiar about this place.
I almost feel like I’ve been here before. Whoah. Serious deja vu, man. Or else that silver tequila I had last night is, like, totally fucking with my head. — Which, wouldn’t be the first time. Back in ’86, while I was living in Ocean City, MD (and too young to drink, but, well, you know), I thought I’d bagged a Sasquatch. Turns out I shot a tourist with a
Privilege
Today, I was privileged to see the best of humanity. Mother’s Day, at Shelburne Bay assisted living facility. A long-gone resident left staff the money to bring baskets of goodies for all the mothers. They were brought up by a young staffer and his family, twin sons aged 4, and daughter almost three. His beautiful wife wept the whole time. They brought each of the mothers on the floor a
Yes. But we STILL think law enforcement should have the “ultimate authority” over who can arm themselves.
“STAND AND FIGHT! Detroit Grandmother/Carry Permit Holder Shoots Her Way Out Of Ambush With Concealed Handgun”. This is, of course, the kind of story the anti-gun left doesn’t want you to hear. Which, too bad this woman wasn’t aborted, I guess: Her siblings now jokingly call her Rambo. However, Paris Ainsworth easily could have been killed. Her attackers shot her four times, but she had eight bullets for them. “If
Trey Gowdy is serious.
Could be that Boehner has made a tactical mistake here. By appeasing conservatives with his selection of Gowdy, he might just have inadvertently shown voters what principle and a refusal to cow to the attacks of the left actually looks like. And in so doing, gives them an idea about what kind of candidate to vote for, should they wish to see the country reverse its current disastrous course. This
“Mitt Romney: A Severe Conservative Who Just Won’t Go Away”
Lucky us. Mitt Romney seems to be transitioning from a disastrous candidate into a disastrous would-be King maker. GO TEAM! Daniel Horowitz, Red State: When conservative candidates lose their bid for elected office, they tend to fade away from public life and are never heard from again. But for Rockefeller Republicans, losing an election is evidently a resume enhancer for them to continue advising and interfering with Republican politics and
Just because
A few unsolicited Tweets from a thump-jawed backbiter and, despite never having surgery to repair that tendon damage in my left wrist, I’m back to bending nails and the like. It just hurts a bit more to do it than it used to. Even picked up the CoC 2.5 gripper for the first time in over 2 years and squeezed it shut. So, then. Thanks for the motivation, kitten! update:
