I hate turbulence.

Whenever I fly, and the plane hits a rough patch, I begin to imagine impossible scenarios like the wings breaking off and the plane plummeting to the ground.

I always find comfort by reminding myself that these flying soda cans are built to withstand anything. My fears are completely unfounded. The plane could never break apart in turbulence.

After reading the stories of the Air France flight that went down over the Atlantic, I'm not so sure.

Jerry Brown is DA BOMB!

California Attorney General Jerry Brown's office filed a brief in support of the lawsuit to overturn Prop H8. This makes me feel a hell of a lot better about the lawsuit. I had my doubts, because of some of the parties involved. I was sure there was some kind of hidden hater agenda. But, if Jerry Brown is on board, it's all good to me.

I love this guy. He believes equal means equal. No exceptions.

being a hater is so uncool......

I like this ad bashing eharmony for not allowing the gayz. It's just another sign that most people love us. We just have to filter out all the hate that emanates from "those people."

Actually, I really think the haters love us too. Pat Robertson was quoted as saying the gayz were the greatest thing to ever happen to him. Every time he mentions us on tv the money starts rolling in from the whack jobs.

doing a little calculation.....

Barack Obama defeated John McCain by 10 million votes.

There are 228 million voting age Americans.

Estimates are that 2-5% of all Americans are gay.

That means there are between 5 and 11 million gay Americans of voting age.

Imagine if every gay person voted against Barack Obama in 2012?

When I was going to college in Ann Arbor, there was this guy I was really hot for. He knew I was hot for him, but he didn't seem to be particularly interested in me. Then I discovered that I had something he was interested in: wheels.

One night I was hanging out at the Flame and he was there. It was getting late, and he came up to me and suggested we drive into Detroit and hit the TNT baths together. He overtly indicated we could have a good time together. So, against my better judgment, I hauled his ass the 40 miles into Detroit.

After we got to the TNT, he disappeared. He was apparently fucking every guy there. Just not me. So I got pissed, and left his pretty ass there to find his own way home. I'm sure he suckered some other guy into taking him back to Ann Arbor, eventually.

I'm kind of getting the same feeling about Obama today.

Not sure what's going on here, but the guys are hot....

How did I know this was our Governor before I even saw his face?

I stumbled across this TMZ spread called "Stars In Speedos." The point was to look at the body and guess who was attached to it.

Well, in my naivete, I assumed I was going to see hot young celebs. Boy, was I wrong.

DON'T GO THERE!

those against same-sex marriage aren't thinking straight......

Miss California Dethroned YAY!

It's about time! The Miss California pageant people have cut Carrie (Satan) Prejean loose for "contract violations." Namely, she didn't appear at Miss California functions because she was too busy running around the country bashing marriage equality and supporting opposite-marriage.

Now, she can spend all her time whining on the 700 Club. They'll probably hire her as a "special commentator" just like they hired that alleged newsman they have.

and speaking of separation of church and state.....

On Monday leading evangelical Rev. Rob Schenck crept into the U.S. Senate's darkened Hart Building to "anoint with oil" the door of the room where the SCOTUS confirmation hearing for Sonia Sotomayor is expected to take place, in order that Congress be struck by the holy spirit and refuse to confirm her.

As I prayed, I touched the doors in three spots, making the sign of the cross. I prayed for God to superintend over the entire confirmation process and mark them with truth because Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life," and He prayed to His Father, saying, "Thy Word is Truth." Of course, in the end, we always pray that God's will be done. There is so much we can do as part of this enormously consequential exercise, including letting our senators know how we feel about this nomination. Nothing, though, is as important as prayer. I invite you to join me in praying as often as you can during the entire hearing process beginning."

The founding fathers must be turning over in their graves.

Mr. Kettle, meet Mr. Black

Sometimes the stench of hypocrisy is so bad, it makes the bile rise up into your mouth. One such moment occurred when I read a story in the SF Chronicle about the spat between certain Catholic groups and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

It all started when the Vatican issued a decree prohibiting Catholic adoption agencies from placing children with same-sex couples. The decree stated that placing children with gay couples "did violence to the children." The San Francisco Board of Supervisors issued a non-binding resolution critical of that decree, stating it contained language that was "hateful and discriminatory." It also asked the local arch-bishop to ignore the decree. In response, Catholic Charities of San Francisco stopped placing children for adoption with any families.

Enter the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights (what an oxymoron that is). They filed a lawsuit against the board, claiming their actions violated separation of church and state (another bile-producing moment). The lawsuit was thrown out by the Ninth Circuit Court.

But it doesn't end there. The lawyers for the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights have now publicly compared the Board of Supervisors to the Nazis. In a statement, they said "It is not a stretch to compare the San Francisco board's actions to that of the Nazi Germany policy of Gleichschaltung, vilifying Jews as an auxiliary to and laying the groundwork for more repressive policies, including the final solution of extermination."

Here's the punchline: in comparing the board to the Nazis, the group was critical of what, it called, "forced conformity of doctrine and elimination of opposition."

OK you fucking catholic hypocrites. First of all, you have no right to talk about separation of church and state, considering your considerable support for Prop H8. Not to mention your outright war against marriage equality in New England.

Second, if anyone is vilifying anyone, it's the catholic church. You are constantly dehumanizing gay people, just like the Nazis did to the Jews. And, by the way, considering the catholic church's quiet acquiescence to the Nazis, you have no room to talk.

Apparently you've never read the quote from Jesus about getting the log out of your own eye before you try to get the speck out of your neighbor's eye.
