On How Many Levels Can One Story Be So Wrong

Sometimes one just does not know where to begin. Take this story about Kuttiyamma, he sues lover after sex change. I thought it was just this country that people sued people for almost anything? I stand corrected.

How many ways can a story be just really wrong?
1) Indian man to marry a female relative (enough said)
2) had been in love with the relative, Laura, 25, for 15 years before having surgery to become a man. (more than enough said)
3) “She had agreed to marry me after the surgery,” (sure she did)
And this may be the most shocking …
4) Binu is suing her for breach of trust after spending 50,000 rupees ($1,150) on the sex change . (Remind me never to break a bone in this province)

US$1,150 to have a sex change operation? WOW. What did they use, a Swiss Army Knife and a bottle of bourbon?

Looks Like an “Air America” Blog To Red

Hey Arianna, you forgot to send Red his invitation to write for your blog. In case you forgot my email is red@scaredmonkeys.com.

Arianna Huffington is about to move blogging from the realm of the anonymous individual to the realm of the celebrity collective. How could she possible do this without Red as a contributing editor?

She has lined up more than 250 of what she calls “the most creative minds” in the country to write a group blog that will range over topics from politics and entertainment to sports and religion. It is essentially a nonstop virtual talk show that will be part of a Web site that will also serve up breaking news around the clock.

Having prominent people join the blogosphere, Ms. Huffington said in an interview, “is an affirmation of its success and will only enrich and strengthen its impact on the national conversation.” Among those signed up to contribute are Walter Cronkite, David Mamet, Nora Ephron, Warren Beatty, James Fallows, Vernon E. Jordan Jr., Maggie Gyllenhaal, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., Diane Keaton, Norman Mailer and Mortimer B. Zuckerman.

” … move blogging from the realm of the anonymous individual to the realm of the celebrity collective”. Oh spare me the dribble. More like moving blogging to the realm of Liberal, Air America insignificance. Arianna, we already have this … its called the MSM.

“Having prominent people join the blogosphere, Ms. Huffington said in an interview, “is an affirmation of its success and will only enrich and strengthen its impact on the national conversation.”

Man, you people just think way too much of yourselves. Get over it, ITS NOT ABOUT YOU.

Not So Fast Connecticut Law Makers

Last week Connecticut law makers overwhelmingly voted in favor of civil unions to gay couples. The media made is sound like this was a piece of legislation that was favored by all in the Nutmeg State. Not so fast according to AP, 3000 protesters showed up to the State Capitol in Hartford, CT to denounce what the CT State lawmakers had done.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – About 3,000 protesters gathered at the state Capitol Sunday to denounce lawmakers who voted in favor of legislation last week that made Connecticut the second state to offer civil unions to gay couples.
Brian Brown, executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut, urged opponents of the bill to vote against lawmakers who supported it in next year’s elections.

“Civil unions are merely a stepping stone to redefining marriage,” he said at Sunday’s rally. “Anyone who voted for this bill voted for same-sex marriage.”

Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell signed the bill last week after it overwhelmingly passed the House and Senate. The law, which takes effect in October, also defines marriage as being between one man and one woman.

Vermont is the only other state to allow civil unions. Massachusetts allows gay couples to marry.

Meanwhile, about 80 gay rights activists took part in a mock wedding ceremony on the Capitol lawn Sunday, criticizing civil unions as second-class citizenship. Many said they were happy the state approved civil unions but wished lawmakers had given gays and lesbians full marriage rights.

Janet Peck and Carol Conklin, plaintiffs in a pending lawsuit challenging the state’s marriage laws excluding same-sex couples, said they have always dreamed of marrying each other. They said they don’t know if they’ll get a civil union.

“We just see ourselves holding hands, looking into each others’ eyes, pledging our love and commitment,” Peck said. “It’s a vision we’ve had for 29 years.”

Capitol police had extra forces out Sunday to maintain order at the rallies. One man was detained after trying to approach the rally against civil unions and mouthing off, said Capitol Police Chief William Morgan. It was unclear if he would be charged.

On the Capitol steps, Brian Mock held a sign chastising the governor that read “Truth is not RELL-ative.” He said he had little hope that lawmakers would repeal the civil union statute, but said they need to know voters are watching.

“I do believe in stepping up for what you believe,” he said, “because God is looking down at what you are doing.”

A recent Quinnipiac poll in CT showed that civil unions were accepted by 56% while 53% were against gay marriage.

However, here is further information on how many states have polled on both civil unions and gay marriage.

Hillary Clinton; Slap Happy

Thank you Lorie from PoliPundit, you made my day. Oh tell me who doesn’t want to do this when Hillary lectures us in what is either supposed to be her version of world order or her best efforts to make everyone believe she is some how a moderate.

Bring on the right wing conspiracy and take a look at Slap Happy Hillary.

These Are Terrorists? What Is this Batman?

This one from he TPA is a little hard to comprehend. Yup those penguins look like hardened Al Qaeda terrorists.This would only be considered valid if Burgess Meredith or Danny DeVito are some where in the vicinity. Seems like there should be a big umbrella going through the metal detector next or something from this page.
