SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The attorneys general of 10 states are urging the California Supreme Court to delay finalizing its ruling to legalize same-sex marriage.The attorneys general say in court documents filed Thursday that they have an interest in the case because they would have to determine if their states would recognize the marriage of gay residents who wed in California.They want the court to stay its ruling until after the November election, when voters likely will decide whether to amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage.California Attorney General Jerry Brown is urging the court not to grant the stay.The states involved are Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah.

“Scottie”

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

It’s scary, frankly, just knowing there are people, like Scottie, who witness crimes and do not speak out, do not speak truth to power unless there is a monetary reward.  While I applaud “Scottie” for speaking out now, it tells us how far a dictator could go in this country without anyone crying out — Bush got this far and may still go further before Jan., 2009.  How far will the next Bush get?

This is what scares me more:  I often wonder if the great masses of Americans are too tired and beaten down to care.  I wonder if perhaps they want a dictator?  Or wouldn’t care if a dictator emerged?

STOP IT NOW

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

For the love of God, STOP IT HILLARY. Note from Me to You: YOU AGREED TO THE SAME RULES OBAMA AND THE REST OF THE DEM. CANDIDATES AGREED TO. You have lost your frigging mind. You could care less about the democratic party. It’s all about power and money for you now. Does no one around you have the good sense to question your motives? To say “no?” If not, then you’re in the same league as Bush.

Thank you, California State Supreme Court, for overturning the gay marriage ban in your ruling within the last hour.  Progress must be celebrated when it occurs.

Unite the Democratic Party, Damn It

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

It is time to entwine all branches of the Democratic party and come together, now, to defeat Sen. McCain in November.  Some voters think there are 3 people running for President in November — Obama, Clinton and McCain.  I’ve already expressed my views about Sen. Clinton and her husband, the former President.  There are people who will never vote for a mixed-race man for President.  There are people who will never vote for a woman for President.  Frankly, I don’t care about them.  I care about the voters who want to redirect the priorities of America.  I care about the voters who believe it is time to rearrange the molecules of the political structure in our country and create a new structure, one that starts to rebuild our stature from the bottom up, not the top down.  This is an opportunity that must be seized.  Obama, as the Democratic nominee for President, will pull us from the bottom up, will pull us from fear-mongering to pride-inducing and problem-solving.  We can get a grip and find a new direction in November if we Unite the Democratic Party, now, Damn It.     

Bush Quote, May 13, 2008

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

This quote, from the Huffington Post, pretty much says it all…

“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”

Bush said he made that decision after the August 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, which killed Sergio Vieira de Mello, the top U.N. official in Iraq and the organization’s high commissioner for human rights

“I remember when de Mello, who was at the U.N., got killed in Baghdad as a result of these murderers taking this good man’s life,” he said. “I was playing golf — I think I was in central Texas — and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, ‘It’s just not worth it anymore to do.’”

Investment Opportunity

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

I’m pulling together a “Talking Head History Show.”  I want to do a prime time 2 hour piece, on any network or cable station, where I look back at the major pundits and replay what they’ve said over the years.  The talking heads have too much power.  They get more air time than the candidates.  I want to expose them like they expose the candidates so I can see how they hold up when they are being scrutinized watching their pasts on videos.
