I'm at the gas station. I'm in a hurry. I need to put gas in my car and get back on the road.
But the interactive computer screen on the gas pump wants to chitchat. Except, it's not the fun kind of chitchat, the kind where you complain about the weather and gossip about your hairdresser and tut-tut that scamp, Miley Cyrus. This gas pump is staging an interrogation.
"Will this be credit or debit? What is your zip code? Do you have our extra savings club card? Would you like a car wash? Would you like a receipt? We have a special on root beer. Do you want one case or two? Are you sure you don't want a receipt?"
Holy petroleum, I just need to fuel my car. I didn't ask to be the next contestant on Rush-hour Jeopardy.
I think I'm clued in to what businesses are thinking: we've got a customer at the checkout with her debit card in hand, so bring on the bright, shiny impulse buys. Let's see if we can squeeze a few more dollars and cents out of her.
But I don't have time to haggle with a robot. I don't have extra cash for soda pop and car washes. The barrage of "buy more" is wasted on me.
You know where I actually could use a thoughtful line of questioning? At snack food vending machines. Something along the lines of, "Do you know how many jumping jacks it takes to work off the fat calories in a bag of barbecue chips?" Every time I gave a wrong answer, the price could go up ten cents.
Later in the day, I make a pit stop at one of the bigger supermarkets. All the self-scanners at the check-out line are busy. I head to an open cashier.
"Would you like paper or plastic? Can I interest you our bakery sale item of the day? Would you like to donate a dollar toward this month's charity? Do you have any coupons? Will you be using your extra savings club card? Will that be debit or credit? Did you swipe your card yet? Will you be using your club card points toward twenty more questions at the gas pump, or would you like me to print off a coupon for free pop quiz?"
I can tell the poor woman is on automatic pilot. I bet she repeats this monologue a hundred times a day. Her voice is starting to sound husky, like an 80-year-old cattle auctioneer.
I attempt to break the monotony with some human interaction.
"Nice afternoon. Do you get off work soon? Will you be able to enjoy the fall weather?"
The cashier smiles, but then glances at the customer behind me who just heaved an exasperated sigh. He's angry that I've gone off script. His foot is tapping. He's on his cell phone. He has places to go.
This morning I was that guy, tapping my foot impatiently and growling at my garrulous gas pump.
But it's hard to get angry with the cashier. Maybe we'd enjoy a quick chat about our kids and the price of pumpkin roll. But time is money, so we speed along. I'd rather not see the cashier replaced by a robot.
I'm not sure how to balance my need for speed, convenience and low prices, with my preference for doing business with a real live person who, perhaps, remembers that I like pineapple and gives me a tip on a new brand of tropical salsa.
Of course, I suppose that cyber-snoopers who stalk my email and credit card purchases can cater on-screen advertisements to my every whim. But never once has an on-screen ad told me how fetching I look in the blue sweater I'm wearing. Online customer service has never once shared a photo of their darling new grandchild.
How about this … how about if someone sold an "I Don't Need A Carwash Or Extra Anything Today, Thanks" club card?
Cardholders could pre-register all their typical answers — plastic not paper, plastic not cash, take a dollar for charity, I don't need any impulse root beer, etc. — and cardholders could save time for whatever reason they might need more time.
One swipe at the robot gas pump, and I'm back on the road. One swipe at the register, and I can now chitchat a bit with the real people in my day-to-day life.
I'd pay a few bucks for a club card like that. No questions asked.

Are you scared of getting nuked? If you asked me that now, I'd say, "Not hugely." But if you had asked me that when I was around ten, I would have been sobbing before you even finished the question.
The Christian doomsday community has a mantra—"we are living in exciting times"—which helps compensate for the fact that most of their personal lives are dull as dirt. Unfortunately for the rest of us, to fight their boredom they've decided to pay right-w…

Peterson's lawyer: Charge is 'total fabrication'
Lawyer Rusty Hardin says facts presented against Adrian Peterson are a "total fabrication."
High-profile attorney Rusty Hardin, who is representing
Minnesota Vikings running back
Adrian Peterson, on Monday called the facts presented against his client a "total fabrication."
Peterson, 27, hired Hardin to represent him after the player was charged Saturday with resisting arrest following an incident at a Houston-area nightclub early that morning.
Peterson tweeted Sunday he was confident the "truth will surface," and Hardin making Peterson's case Monday.
"Adrian Peterson did not resist arrest this past Saturday morning and any suggestion that he pushed, struck or shoved a Houston Police Officer is a total fabrication," Hardin said in a statement. "He, in fact, was struck at least twice in the face for absolutely no legitimate reason, and when all the evidence is impartially reviewed, it will clearly show Adrian was the victim, not the aggressor."
Police spokesman Kese Smith said Saturday that Peterson shoved an off-duty office working security at a nightclub. Smith said the officer asked Peterson and his group to leave the club because it was closing. The officer moved on to tell other patrons to leave, but Smith said the officer then returned to Peterson's group. According to Smith, Peterson allegedly told the officer he had heard him the first time and pushed the officer in the shoulder, causing him to stumble. The officer identified himself, Smith said, then told Peterson he was under arrest and to put his hands behind his back.
Peterson began yelling and "assumed an aggressive stance," the police spokesman said, so another off-duty officer offered help. The player continued to struggle with the officers until a third off-duty officer joined the fray and helped put Peterson in handcuffs.
Peterson, however, has a different version of the events at the club and hired Hardin to defend him. Hardin, a Houston-based attorney, recently defended major league baseball pitcher Roger Clemens in his high-profile perjury trial.
"We have been investigating what happened since Saturday afternoon," Hardin said in his statement, "and it is absolutely clear to me that the charges should not have been filed, and the Bayou Club owes Adrian an apology for having put out a totally false version of what happened.
"Adrian Peterson does not act the way he has been described in the initial reports, and he did not act that way Saturday morning. He was only in that club for 30 to 40 minutes, was never objectionable to other patrons, and never physically resisted any police officer.
"Adrian is extremely upset about these false allegations. These charges are totally at odds with the way he has conducted himself throughout his career, and he asks that his fans and the public at large reserve judgment until they hear all the facts. Adrian looks forward to his day in court."
Peterson was charged with a Class A misdemeanor, punishable in Texas with up to one year in county jail and/or a fine not to exceed $4,000 or up to two years of community supervision.
A hearing for Peterson's case is scheduled for Friday in Harris County court.
Peterson's only public response came in a pair of tweets Sunday afternoon.
"Thank you for waiting for the facts. Truth will surface," Peterson wrote on his Twitter page (@AdrianPeterson).
He also tweeted a quote from Winston Churchill: "'A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.' WC"

A real throw-back in time! So many songs, some unheard in 35+ years, performed by the original artists! Nostalgic and energetic, people all around me singing along (myself included!) and great choreography, some of which we"ve seen many times, but never grows old!
Show started 35 minutes late but more than made up for it. Sales and Marketing must've been difficult; the Lyric Theatre was half full. That was sad, but not as sad as the Jackson's minus one. Like looking at a great smile that's missing one front tooth. I am grateful for the experience, got the T-shirt and sang, squealed and cried through the show.!

Inspecting the cargo
This chipmunk was checking over and trimming the nut he was about to stuff into his cheek pouch.
Stocking up for winter
I watched this little guy for about an hour repeatedly go back and fourth filling up his cheeks.
How you doing
I caught this bull Moose scratching his chin on this tree branch. However there was a cow in the area so I think he was also trying to get her attention as well.

I have tried for years to get a close up portrait of a Beaver. This year I was finally successful with this very cooperative guy In the Tetons. I caught him happily snacking away on this small log in the Snake river.

I have been following this blue eyed white eastern grey squirrel around for about two years now. Over the summer we had thought he had been eaten by a hawk but now that the winter is here he is out and about everyday with his perfect camouflage for this season.

A cold stare
Early one late fall morning in Yellowstone I found this bull Bison enjoying a little breakfast completely covered in frost.

Playing hide and seek with a young mink
This year for my birthday late in June I had an amazing experience with a family of mink. I came across three young mink playing under a pine tree with mom nearby. It didn't take long for the young ones to become curious of me and soon I found myself being part of their game.
Getting ready for the trip south
This female Ruby throated Hummingbird was eating all of the nectar it could in the last few weeks of August.

It was a long night
On my way one morning to find a brood of Owlets I came across this Raccoon hanging out of a tree. He looked annoyed at me but at the same time kind of curious. I think he just had a long night of hunting and was having a hard time getting to sleep.

Eye contact
I found this young red tail hawk hunting on a small marshy area in a local park. I tried my best to get close to him without disturbing him but the dried leaves made it impossible. As you can tell from the expression on his face I was not sneaking up on him at all.

Fount of Mercy
Rating: 4.74 stars 54 54 reviews
Church St Station PO Box 3379 New York NY 10008 USA
There are over 48-million orphans in sub-Saharan Africa. These orphans are left with few options. They are either left in the hands of an extended family member, are taken in by the community, or they are unfortunately abandoned on the streets. Poor nutrition, loss of education, vulnerability to crime, child labor, sexual exploitation, abduction and prostitution are realities too many orphans are facing. Traditionally in Africa, children live with an extended family member when their parents die. It is because of this tradition that Africa has been able to handle the orphan crisis with a modicum of survival. Today as the crisis has become increasing overwhelming, the traditional cultural safety net for orphans has persisted but has been greatly stretched and tried. Where extended family adoption is the best means of care, the new mouths to feed financially burden extended families. The combination of extreme poverty and AIDS has made it nearly impossible for the extended family to care for the increasing number of orphaned children. Grandmothers and widows are caring for six to ten children with limited access to any resources. Without assistance from local grass-root organizations these women and children are destitute. Why We Work With Grass-Root CBOs and NGOs?As Africa?s traditional means of orphan care has suffered, local African communities have responded. Africans who are committed to the care of orphans, have stepped in and organized their communities to respond. Through supplementing care, these indigenous grass-root organizations partner with their communities and these overburdened caregivers to provide free to low cost education, feeding programs, vocational training, access to healthcare and in worse cases foster care or residential care. While these grass-root Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are the lifeline of hope for their communities, they are nevertheless in great need of assistance. In order to meet the full need of their community?s orphan population they need support, encouragement and a helping hand to reach their vision.

I am so impressed with Fount of Mercy and with the way that they as an organization are truly seeking to empower locals here in Uganda. They are taking a very appropriate approach to helping local grassroots organizations in a long-term, sustainable way. It is so encouraging to see the way Fount of Mercy is encouraging, supporting, and truly empowering organizations throughout Uganda.

I had the life changing experience of participating in Fount of Mercy's Travel with Purpose program last summer. Upon arrival in Uganda, I was completely blown away by both the beauty of the country and the people and the immense poverty and need. After spending a week with a group of volunteers teaching in an orphanage, I can tell you that I have never seen poverty like that before in my life, but I left at the end of the week feeling good out the future of the children that attend that school because of what Fount is doing with the school. Through Fount of Mercy, the orphanage has funding for uniforms for students, meal plans and a library. Fount also provides strategic development expertise and leadership training for the school leadership.

The Times Square tower where Conde Nast pumps out titles like The New Yorker and Vogue is a river away from Fort Greene, Brooklyn, where Jennifer Bleyer lives. It's a boundary that Bleyer is making very clear. The third issue of Heeb, Bleyer's year-old magazine, hits the streets later this month with a striking disclaimer: "Please note that this is not a f-ing CondÈ Nast publication. It is a tiny independent venture, publishing by the skin of its teeth about twice a year on nothing that even resembles a schedule. Thank you for your patience." Many of Heeb's 2,000 subscribers might have plunked down their $18 for a quarterly magazine, but Bleyer is not apologizing for the delay. For the past few months, she's worked 12-hour days and weekends, living on her usual six hours of sleep. "Basically, it's just me putting it out of the house by myself," she told The Jewish Week after meeting to finalize the cover for issue No. 3, due out Feb. 24. Bleyer, 27, an introspective woman with huge eyes and slender fingers, is equally unapologetic about what some critics call the magazine's New York-focus ("We live here, it's what we know") for the magazine's name, which angered the Anti-Defamation League, about most of the other criticism lobbed at the self-dubbed "New Jew Review" ever since it swaggered onto the scene last February. "We're just trying to do something interesting for Jewish people," said in an interview at an East Village bagel shop. "If you want it, you can have it. If not, not." The most stinging swipes were critiques of the magazine itself. "That criticism was more painful to me. Media people saying, 'You don't have a good feature well.'" These days, she's just as likely to call Heeb "a big art project" as "an alternative magazine." She and her crew of 10 volunteer editors concede they're still adjusting the formula. Still, without hesitation Bleyer claims (with supporting fan mail) to have produced "the most interesting thing happening in Jewish world right now." The in-your-face attitude is the kind of stance one would expect from a magazine that gave six pages to "Screw" magazine publisher Al Goldstein or did a photo spread of curly-headed Jews titled "Jewfros." Far from alienating readers, "Heeb" was picked up by Barnes and Noble, Borders Books and smaller newsstands from San Francisco's Height-Ashbury district to Tower Records on Lafayette Street in Manhattan, where it sold out after four weeks. Even before the first issue was printed, Jewish archives were calling Bleyer to ask for copies. The magazine has surfaced at a Las Vegas sisterhood and a college class on Jewish American identity, and has been passed around Jewish high schools. Utne magazine is running a profile of Canadian anti-globalist Naomi Klein from Heeb No. 2 in its upcoming issue. Behind Heeb No. 3's cover photo of a chasid cum Superman, readers will find a forum, "Is George Bush Good for the Jews"; a photo essay on Jewish women's bodies, "sexy, zaftig, big noses"; an investigation of Jewish humor that asks, "Are we still funny?" and the return of Grandma Miriam, who in this issue goes to Walmart with $20. "I knew intuitively there would be an audience for this," Bleyer said. Most of the e-mail "Heeb" receives comes from 20- to 30-yearñolds who are turned off by a general Jewish fascination with what Bleyer calls the backward-looking "permaculture" or an obsession with "continuity," the Jewish institutional buzzword often associated with outreach to unaffiliated Jews. Of course, not everyone loves "Heeb." Many readers and journalists have written with disappointment about a lack of depth, a lack of "oomph" and an overdone effort to seem cool. "This sucks," one reviewer wrote about issue No.1. As a Columbia College student, Bleyer published her own punk 'zine, Mazel Tov Cocktail, and later wrote freelance for Spin and Harper's. She started "Heeb" with $60,000 from the California-based, Steven Spielberg-supported Joshua Venture. A call for volunteers brought in 60 souls, many of whom are still on the ever-growing masthead, whose combined resume includes The New York Times, Village Voice and New York Press, among other publications. Bleyer kept the project rolling last year with another $48,000 from the UJA-Federation of New York. With another issue in the bag, Bleyer is waiting to see if the federation will come through with a grant of $60,000 for 2004, enough to cover the $25,000 it cost per issue, to pay Heeb's sole employee: herself. Already the magazine has branched out to sponsor edgy cultural events, and there's talk of a full-fledged "Heeb" enterprise, including a Heeb store, a Heeb book and even Heeb TV. "My real interest is turning Heeb into a real cultural force, rather than, 'I love what you're doing with this magazine,'" said, Joshua Neuman, the music editor, who joined Bleyer's team after reading Mazel Tov Cocktail, and after his plans to start a Jewish punk band, the Elders of Zion, fell flat. A Midwest native, Bleyer says she "grew up on punk rock and hip hop, and I'm also Jewish. That's my Jewish identity." Meeting other Jews at urban music gatherings and underground art parties and traveling across the country as publisher and editor of Heeb have proven that most Jews identify themselves as she does: holistically. "It's not that no one wants to eat matzah ball soup, she said. "They just want to eat it with gazpacho." Heeb No. 3 celebrates its launch Mon., Feb. 24, 9 p.m., at a free party featuring DJ Princess Superstar at West 8th Bar, 40 W. 8th St., (212) 477-9333, Man., 9 p.m. On Tues., Feb. 25, Heeb and Goddess Productions sponsor "Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad," at Joe's Pub, 425 Lafayette St., Man.

Skip to comments.McCain Daughter to Address 'Log Cabin' Group
Posted on 02/17/2009 7:26:09 PM PST by Big_Monkey
John McCain's daughter, Meghan McCain, 24, has agreed to headline the annual convention of the Log Cabin Republicans, a GOP group which advocates on behalf of gays and lesbians.
"Her willingness to reach out to organizations like ours shows her commitment to growing the Republican Party," Log Cabin convention manager Christian Berle told ABC News. "The title of Meghan McCain's speech is 'Winning the Next Generation -- How can the Republican Party attract more young voters.'"
Joining Meghan McCain at the conference will be Steve Schmidt, her father's top 2008 strategist. The topic of Schmidt's address is "Moving Forward."
The Log Cabin Republicans are scheduled to meet in Washington, D.C., on April 17th at a time when the GOP is seeking to rebound from an election which left the party out of power on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
In addition to Meghan McCain and Schmidt, the Log Cabin Republicans will also hear from former New Jersey Gov. Christie Todd Whitman (R), who will discuss her work with the moderate Republican Leadership Council, and former Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., who will share his perspective as a former chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Michael Steele, the newly elected chairman of the Republican National Committee, has also been invited to address the Log Cabin Republicans.
He has not yet, however, committed to speak.
The Log Cabin convention is being held in conjunction with the Liberty Education Forum National Symposium.
The registration fee for the conference is $395 per person.
I'll second your good grief.
Barf - O - Rama
Look, I don't go around telling people what the wife and I do in private. It's anybody's guess. But we ain't tellin.
But homos and lesbos and the other pervs ... c'mon.
Oh, **it!
Ignore the PERVERTS!
Won't these people please go away. Hey McCain daughter, our first order of business is to stop listening to people with mindsets such as yours or your dimwitted, sellout father.
She's a hoodwinked fool ...like dear old dad.
I see your grief, and raise you a hissyfit.
And there are those reptards who will pay this to attend...
In retrospect, not a very good title for a speech to use at a homosexual club...
All I have to say to the LCR is "Vote Republican based on conservative ideals if you wish but don't attempt to change the GOP to fit your agenda."
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
LOL NAMBLA (North American Marlon Brando Look Alikes) Agree.
With the libs completely controlling public education and forcing marxist propananda into the fragile eggshell minds of students, good luck with that.
> Michael Steele, the newly elected chairman of the Republican National Committee, has also been invited to address the Log Cabin Republicans.
He has not yet, however, committed to speak. <
Well, there's hope for the party if Steele doesn't show up.
"Ignore the PERVERTS!
I agree with you, and we shouldn't support politicians that support the homosexual agenda.
I am more convinced than ever before that as we seek to establish full equality for Americas gay and lesbian citizens, I will provide more effective leadership than my opponent.
I am not unaware of my opponents considerable record in the area of civil rights, or the commitment of Massachusetts voters to the principle of equality for all Americans. For some voters it might be enough for me to simply match my opponents record in this area. But I believe we can and must do better. If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.
We have discussed a number of important issues such as the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which I have agreed to co-sponsor, and if possible broaden to include housing and credit, and the bill to create a federal panel to find ways to reduce gay and lesbian youth suicide, which I also support. One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clintons dont ask, dont tell, dont pursue military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nations military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.
As we begin the final phase of this campaign, I need your support more than ever. By working together, we will achieve the goals we share for Massachusetts and our Nation.
W. Mitt Romney
The GOP, which is the one US political party that claims (at least) to be trying to maintain traditional Judeo-Christian values, should not be welcoming open homosexuals into its ranks.
How is this exactly "growing the Republican Party"? That is a stupid statement.
Yeah sure it's great to reach out to groups that are in diametric oppostion to their party's platform (and the grass-roots): THE MEDIA ONLY TRUMPETS THIS BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT IDEOLOGY, THEY WANT TO DE-CONSERVATISE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! We must not let this happen..
I'm still waiting for liberals to show me the passage in the Constitution that says we have a right to others' unconditional approval of our sexual behavior.
Is Lindsey the keynote?
Captain light in the loafers would be a big draw.
McLame is just trolling for cash for 2010.
I pray that fool is CRUSHED. (Again)

I've said this before and I'll say it again: there are good conservative homosexuals. I've known at least one: a man I worked with who was fiscally and, as far as I know, socially conservative.
He did NOT flaunt or put his sexual behavior on open display, he stood firm when it came to his poltical choice, and he was an all around decent fellow. He knew me, a Christian, and did not disdain or sneer at my religious convictions.
How much he wrestled with his sin I do not know, we never got close enough to discuss. He was NOT a "pro-gay marriage" or "special rights for gays" person. He came to work and did his job and left his home life at home.
I have no problem with conservative gays helping the Republican party. The RP doesn't need to "change" for them.
JUST mho.
My tagline still fits, no matter what the first name is.
You're right, of course. If Republicans spent more time espousing conservative ideals and their benefit to individual liberty and society as a whole, they'd grow the party.
Reach out. Reach out and touch someone...anyone...for a vote.
ABC is reporting it (they behind the camera people are infested with alternative lifestyle types)
GOP Chair Steele is pushing it for out reach,,,
HOWEVER the real reason:
McCain wants to get homosexual money for his "country first" pac.
this is ONLY about money for mccain.
ZERO credibility for actual principle.
McCain wants money and he is willing to bend forward and prostitute his own daughter.
this is for MONEY.
McCain is prostituting his daughter because the MEME in DC is that homosexuals give money.
The homosexuals of this 5th column group push the LIE that they will support republicans with money in exchange for support of homosexual recreational sex acceptance.
He speech on behalf of mccain's pac should be used to end mccain's senate career.
Governor Romney: "Some argue that our principles of federalism and local control require us to leave the issue of same sex marriage to the stateswhich means, as a practical matter, to state courts. Such an argument denies the realities of modern life and would create a chaotic patchwork of inconsistent laws throughout the country. Marriage is not just an activity or practice which is confined to the border of any one state. It is a status that is carried from state to state. Because of this, and because Americans conduct their financial and legal lives in a united country bound by interstate institutions, a national definition of marriage is necessary." ("The Importance of Protecting Marriage", Letter from Gov. Romney to U.S. Senators, 6/02/2006) Governor Romney: "A lot of people get confused that gay marriage is about treating gay people the same as treating heterosexual people, and that's not the issue involved here."
"This is about the development and nurturing of children. Marriage is primarily an institution to help develop children, and children's development, I believe, is greatly enhanced by access to a mom and a dad."
"I think every child deserves a mom and a dad, and that's why I'm so consistent and vehement in my view that we should have a federal amendment which defines marriage in that way." (George Stephanopoulos, "Mitt Romney: The Complete Interview," ABC News This Week, 2/18/2007) (Mitt TV Clip)
Governor Romney: "I oppose discrimination against gay people. I am not anti-gay. I know there are some Republicans, or some people in the country who are looking for someone who is anti-gay and that's not me." (Brendan Farrington, "Romney: I am not anti-gay," The Associated Press, 5/24/2007)
When the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling in the case of Goodridge v. Department of Public Health legalized same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, Gov. Romney identified and enforced a little-known 1913 state law that forbids nonresidents from marrying in Massachusetts if their marriage would not be recognized in their home state. This prevented gay couples living outside Massachusetts from flocking to MA to be married and then returning to their home states to demand the marriages be recognized, thus opening the door for nationwide same-sex marriage. Implementation of the 1913 law was contested in court by same-sex couples from outside MA, but the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled in March, 2006 to uphold the application of the law. (Jay Lindsay, "Mass. high court says nonresident gays cannot marry in state," The Associated Press, 3/30/2006)
Gov. Romney provided active support for a citizen petition drive in 2005 that collected 170,000 signatures for a state constitutional amendment protecting marriage, breaking a 20-year-old record for the most certified signatures ever gathered in support of a proposed ballot question. He rallied citizens to place pressure on the Legislature for failing, through repeated delays, to fulfill their constitutional obligation to vote on placing the marriage amendment on the ballot. Gov. Romney filed suit in the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) asking the court to clarify the legislators duty to vote on the issue of the amendment, or place the amendment on the ballot if the Legislature failed to act. The SJC declared that legislators had a constitutional duty to vote on the petition in a ruling handed down on Dec. 27, 2006. The suit was successful in pressuring the Legislature to vote on the issue of the amendment. A vote was taken on January 2, 2007 and the measure passed. Through Governor Romneys considerable efforts and leadership, a state constitutional amendment defining marriage to be between one man and one woman passed a critical hurdle to get it placed on the 2008 ballot where voters in Massachusetts would have the power to restore traditional marriage in their state.
Update: Democrat Governor Deval Patrick, a proponent of gay marriage, lobbied Massachusetts lawmakers to kill the proposed constitutional amendment. In a vote of the MA Legislature on June 14, 2007 the amendment received 45 votes, failing to get the required 50 votes necessary to place the amendment on the 2008 ballot. The measure needed 50 votes in two consecutive legislative sessions to advance to the ballot, and it had passed with 62 votes at the end of the last session in January. Commenting on the latest vote, former Gov. Mitt Romney said, "Today's vote by the State Legislature is a regrettable setback in our efforts to defend traditional marriage. Unfortunately, our elected representatives decided that the voice of the people did not need to be heard in this debate. It is now even more important that we pass a Constitutional amendment protecting traditional marriage. Marriage is an institution that goes to the heart of our society, and our leaders can no longer abdicate their responsibility." (Steve LeBlanc, "No Gay Marriage Vote for Massachusetts," The Associated Press, 6/14/2007)
Governor Mitt Romney issued the following statement on the court decision issued August 30, 2007 striking down Iowa's Defense of Marriage Act:
"The ruling in Iowa today is another example of an activist court and unelected judges trying to redefine marriage and disregard the will of the people as expressed through Iowa's Defense of Marriage Act. This once again highlights the need for a Federal Marriage Amendment to protect the traditional definition of marriage as between one man and one woman."
(Romney for President, "Governor Mitt Romney On Iowa's Defense Of Marriage Act," Press Release, 8/30/2007) Mitt Romney does not favor action at the national level to sanction civil unions and would leave it to the several states to define the permissible contractual relationships between two people. Romney would not seek to impose, at the national level, a prohibition on contractual relationships between two people.
(George Stephanopoulos, "Mitt Romney: The Complete Interview," ABC News This Week, 2/18/2007) Governor Romney strongly defended the right of Catholic Charities in Massachusetts to deny placing adoptive children in the homes of gay couples; saying it was unjust to require a religious agency to violate the tenets of its faith in order to satisfy a special-interest group. Romney filed "An Act Protecting Religious Freedom" in the Legislature, a bill to exempt Catholic Charities of Boston and other religious groups from the state anti-discrimination law. (Brooke Donald, "Romney files 'religious freedom' bill on church and gay adoption," The Associated Press, 3/15/2006)
Mitt Romney served on the Boy Scouts of Americas National Executive Board from 1993 to 2002. Whereas Romney believes sexual orientation should not preclude joining the Boy Scouts, he supports the right of local Councils of the Boy Scouts of America to decide and enforce their policy regarding homosexuals in their organization and leadership.
Governor Romney responded to a question about the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and gays in the military during an NRO interview with Kathryn Jean Lopez in December, 2006:
Lopez: And what about the 1994 letter to the Log Cabin Republicans where you indicated you would support the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and seemed open to changing the "dont ask, dont tell" policy in the military? Are those your positions today?
Gov. Romney: "No. I dont see the need for new or special legislation. My experience over the past several years as governor has convinced me that ENDA would be an overly broad law that would open a litigation floodgate and unfairly penalize employers at the hands of activist judges."
"As for military policy and the "dont ask, dont tell" policy, I trust the counsel of those in uniform who have set these policies over a dozen years ago. I agree with President Bushs decision to maintain this policy and I would do the same." (Kathryn Jean Lopez, "A Primary Factor," National Review Online, 12/14/2006)
Still helping the Democrats/socialists I see.
No, I fight socialists no matter their party label.
no pics yet of Meghan? comer on folks , she's kinda hot...
So the entire Republican party is socialist?
"Governor Romney: "I oppose discrimination against gay people. I am not anti-gay. I know there are some Republicans, or some people in the country who are looking for someone who is anti-gay and that's not me." (Brendan Farrington, "Romney: I am not anti-gay," The Associated Press, 5/24/2007)"
Mitt Romney: "One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clintons dont ask, dont tell, dont pursue military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nations military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share."
In 2007 at the CNN debate, Romney still waffled and threw in a lie that he used to laugh at DADT because he thought it would never work, but he would not take a stand against his original goal of removing DADT as unfair and truly opening the military fully to homosexuality even though Cooper pressed him on the issue.
No. Just those who actually control it.
No one group controls the Republican party. It is a constant power struggle.
Do I always agree with the his public statements about that issue? NO! However, I very much agree with what he DID regarding that issue as governor. It isn't what a politician says...it's what he does, as we have pointed out ad nauseum since the beginning of his campaign. My last post to you highlights the actions Governor Romney took regarding gay marriage while holding that office, and I applaud his efforts.
I'll be generous and chalk your post up to naivete.
I'll be generous and say your a sincere fringe conservative and not an undercover democratic operative. : )
Well, you've advanced in the course of this thread, then.
Looks like the horse-apple fell close to the fruit-basket.
Just another McWeevil groveling for the rainbow swing vote in 2012.
BTW, fruit-basket is a slang term that's synonymous with another word beginning with the letter "P"; and that's what I think John McWeevil behaved as.
When Obama focused on "8 years of [economic] policy" The fruit-basket shoulda hammered Penny Pritzker.
If Republicans want to win young voters, try telling the truth! Explain why conservatism is the way to live, hands down! Explain what Freedom means, and to everyone, not any specific group. Separating people into voting blocks is divisive and stupid. We all have the same Freedoms and the same desire for it.
AND get them interested in the Constitution, so they know what the heck they are voting for.
"Like all politicians, Mitt Romney is conscious that unless he wins, he has no real power and thus there are issues about which he may be reluctant to speak out about, lest the MSM make an issue of them resulting in loss of votes."
Well, this isn't one of them. He may be as slippery and dishonest and unknowable as you say, but even he is evidently capable of making something very clear if it means enough to him.
Mitt Romney: One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clintons dont ask, dont tell, dont pursue military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nations military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.

Official Pink Shirt Day 2016 Tshirts Now Available!
published 20 Oct 2015 by PinkShirtDay in News Resources category with 0 comments
published 20 Oct 2015 by PinkShirtDay in News Resources category with 0 comments
We're very excited to announce our Pink Shirt Day tshirts have started production and are NOW AVAILABLE online and will be in London Drugs stores in February 2016. Our theme this year is Kindness. Kindness is universal — a trait we encourage everyone to openly express every day. The phrase "one size fits all" works for one simple reason: it stands for inclusivity, both in clothing and in our everyday lives. We're all gloriously different, but we all have the capacity to put kindness out into the world. "Kindness is one size fits all" is more than just a slogan. It's the underlying philosophy behind the anti-bullying movement that we hope will live on beyond Pink Shirt Day. After all, kindness never goes out of style! Don't forget to follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, and hashtag any of your posts with #pinkshirtday to show your support towards kindness, and against bullying!

The Devils are coming off a double-OT win against the third-seeded Florida Panthers.
Get ready for the action Sunday afternoon as the winner will move on to the Eastern Conference finals!

RESA 8 tips for Internet safety
MARTINSBURG – Summer is here and school is out of session. This leaves a lot of time for kids to be online. RESA 8 would like to remind parents to be aware of what their children are doing on the Internet.
Many parents did not grow up with the same technology surrounding them as kids have today, so they may find it difficult to "police" what their children are doing. There are many resources online that can assist parents and make them aware of what lurks in the clouds.
Something as simple as talking with children about Internet safety can help. Everyone needs to be reminded of the dangers of material that can be found on the Internet, and online predators that prey on those that are not aware of the hazards of revealing too much personal information.
Basic tips that can help keep your kids safe include keeping online devices in an area of the home that has a lot of traffic, surfing the Internet with your kids and have them show you what they do, monitoring their online activity and establishing rules for Internet use.
The Internet is a wonderful place for kids to explore, create and learn; keeping them safe while surfing is an ongoing and important responsibility.
If you would like more information on resources concerning Internet safety, please contact Jill Woolcock, RESA 8 IT Manager, at email@example.com.

Harrison works to improved roads, create jobs
CADIZ – A collaboration to upgrade county Road 10 in Harrison County will result in improved infrastructure and job creation.
Jason Wilson, director of the Governor's Office of Appalachia, along with Lloyd MacAdam, district deputy director of the Ohio Department of Transportation, met with Robert Sterling, Harrison County engineer, and the Harrison County commissioners on Wednesday to recognize the project's completion and the success of the partnership.
"Upgrading county Road 10 has increased access for a local business and will create jobs. This project would not have been possible without the partnership among the Ohio Department of Transportation, Ohio Mid-Eastern Governments Association, the county and our office. It is a great example of what can happen when we work together toward a common goal," said Wilson.
"How do we create public-private partnerships, how do we say look, if the public can't do it and the private can't do it, maybe we (can) work together on how can we do it." Wilson addressed the board. "Today is one of those days, a perfect example of how things work."
"How do we make it safe, how do we make it affordable, how do we make it work so we can create these jobs," Wilson continued.
"We have 45 people working, potential for more people working," Wilson stated. "Every time we dig a shovel full of coal out of the ground there is a few dollars that get left here in the county. Every time one of those trucks moves it needs maintenance, it needs fuel, and every time they move, somebody is in it, they need lunch or dinner or something.
"But these are the ways we build an economy. This is how we build Harrison County – we do it one job at a time, one opportunity as a time," he said.
Wilson presented a symbolic check for $107,000, representing a grant from the State Appalachian Development Program.
"Partnering with communities to meet the transportation needs of growing businesses is extremely important to ODOT," said MacAdam.
"This project would not be a reality if it were not for Rob's (Sterling) vision," MacAdam said as he presented a check for $175,000 from ODOT. The funds, in addition to a $175,000 Roadway 629 grant, funded the project.
"Improvements to county Road 10 allow Rosebud Mining Co. to safely transport coal from the new Vail Mine to the preparation plant in Tuscarawas County over a safe transportation route," MacAdam said. "From that coal washing facility it will be loaded on trains right there in Dennison. So this is putting people to work not only in Harrison County but all over the state of Ohio."
The State Appalachian Development Grants are designated for projects that will increase job opportunities for residents in the Appalachian region as well as improve the community infrastructure to encourage economic development activities.
MacAdam also related his office is receiving calls from Harrison County talking about the mud on the roads.
"I think it is a good thing because mud on the roads means progress. Things are happening. Harrison County is right in the heart of the shale play," MacAdam stated.
"This project is a classic example of the success that is possible when we work together to utilize grant programs to facilitate true economic development and job creation," said Greg DiDonato, executive director of the Ohio Mid-Eastern Governments Association.
DiDonato was involved in the East Ohio Panhandle Rail Line Anti-Privatization Project, which saved the rail line that now transports the coal from the Vail mine. He will be working with Wilson on the next phase of the transportation upgrade for the county.
The project coordinates with Genesee & Wyoming Inc. announcement that its wholly owned subsidiary, the Columbus & Ohio River Rail Road Co., has signed a long-term agreement to haul natural gas liquids from a new fractionation hub in Harrison County. The rail agreement was signed with Utica East Ohio Midstream.
Utica East Midstream is building a fractionation plant to separate natural gas liquids in Scio. The railroad will construct a new 1-mile rail siding and rehabilitate a 3-mile storage track. Plans call for shipping 10,000 carloads of natural gas liquids.
In other business:
Scott Blackburn, director of the county Job and Family Services, notified commissioners the county received an additional $4,400 in funds from the National Emergency Grant. He said 20 employees are working under the grant funding.

Spanish fizzy pop trumps French Champagne in court
The Local · 8 Mar 2016, 10:28

- Battle of the fizz: Cava takes on champagne (12 Aug 15)
A Spanish soft drink marketed at children poses no threat to Champagne, Spain's Supreme Court ruled on Monday.
The Champagne industry is fiercely protective over its name and appellation - meaning only products made within the geographical region of Champagne can be classed as Champagne.
Anything claiming to be Champagne that was made outside the region, or claiming to include Champagne when it does not, is liable to be banned from sale.
But the champagne industry has lost a battle to ban the Spanish children's drink - Champín, sold for under three euros in all major supermarkets.
"We feel like David against Goliath and we are very proud and happy at the Supreme Court result, that finally puts an end to the law suit with Champagne," a Champín spokesman told The Local.
Spain's Supreme Court ruled that the name of the fizzy drink, a fruits of the forest and strawberry-flavoured drink for children, did not make consumers think that the product was made from Champagne – or had anything to do with the luxury beverage.
It ruled that Champín did not infringe Champagne's appellation and that the children's drink - made by Industrias Espadafor, was "unconnected" to Champagne.
Any apparent similarites, the court ruled, were "faint and irrelevant".
"In this case the product Champín differs enough with respect to those products protected by the Champagne appellation, that the phonetic similarity does not evoke the product," the ruling stated.
The ruling comes as a blow to the Comité Interprofessionnel Du Vin de Champagne, which was calling for the banning of the Champín brand as well as all bottles already on the market to be withdrawn.

This A list movie actor is in a serious relationship but it hasn't stopped him from cheating on his partner with his B list co-star who has been in this space before for her fun times with another couple.
1st thought – Jim CarreyReplyCancel
i like the jim carrey guess…but who is the actress?ReplyCancel
Brad Pitt and Scarlett J.ReplyCancel
Did I say Ted Danson? That was a typographical error. What I was trying to type was Dolph Lungren and Vitamin C. Dolph is certainly A list, as he opened Masters of the Universe to critical acclaim and box office success, overshowding the ravaging beauty of Miss Courtney Cox. And the Vitamin C portion of this match speaks for itself.
Worship me.ReplyCancel
What "fun times" has Rachael McAdams been involved in?ReplyCancel
just throwin' out a couple of other A listers in "serious" relationships –
I agree w/Figgy re: Vince Vaughn. Gay for sure.
I like Brad Pitt for this one. But if it were Scarlett J, wouldn't Enty have said that she was married to another B-(?) list celeb?
I guess Harrison Ford sounds the best afterall. I hate it that he's such a douche. Han Solo was my first crush. Indiana Jones was my second.ReplyCancel
I would believe Brad Pitt is cheating before Jim Carrey. That's just because I like Jim and Jenny Mcarthy:) and can't I stand Brad Pitt. I have read rumors that Brad Pitt is an alcoholic and uses the kids for Photo-ops to make him look like he's a good dad so I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he is cheating, too.ReplyCancel
Scarlett J is definitely A list, so she wouldn't fit this blind. But I have no idea who would…ReplyCancel
damn, you guys think vince vaughn is gay? if he truly is, your gaydar is off the charts.ReplyCancel
Oh PLEASE!! Diane may gushed over Brad Pitt, but she seems like she is in love with her boyfriend Joshua Jackson!! So i truly doubt she will betray Joshua this way!!
Many of you, dislike Brad Pitt… but it truly sounds that this Blind Item its not him!!ReplyCancel
I want it to be Pitt.
I've thought Vince Vaughn was gay for years. He's also a little bitch.ReplyCancel
I hope it's not true and I don't think it's true, but it fits: Johnny Depp & Marion Cotillard, who broke up the marriage of Diane Kruger & Guillaume Canet in '06. Marion has an Oscar and is rapidly moving up to the A-list, but I think she still has inches to go.ReplyCancel
Rumour that Brad and Angie are issuing a press release next week that they are parting ways… heard from friend in the know.ReplyCancel
I'm assuming this is the blind about the actress who had fun with another couple:
If so, she's "a B list movie and television actress not exactly known for being super friendly even to her boyfriend. She had a very short term boyfriend prior to the D lister but he wasn't up for the game so she dumped him and went with the D lister she could control." And as of July, they had been dating for about a year.
I thought there was another menage blind about a couple (with kids) and another woman, but I can't find it.ReplyCancel
I don't know….I kind of like Erin's
guess about Brad.
Not to nitpick, but "rumour" is a correct spelling if you're using British English rather than American English.
Just sayin'…ReplyCancel
i don't know if this matters but gwen and gavin approached my girlfriend for a 3 way about 2 or 3 years ago…maybe they are the couple? i would so do them.ReplyCancel
oh i just thought of something…what about the couple that hired a hooker and it was stewart townsend and charlese? sry spellingReplyCancel
Hey feraltart, where did Ted imply that JJ is gay? Not saying I don't believe you, cause I heard he swung both ways on the Dawson's Creek set. And was apparently such a manwhore that Diane is in for a world of hurt, unless he's changed his ways, that is.ReplyCancel
I think we can rule out Marion in this one. If it was the Johnny one it would have been a blind item around the time of Public Enemies and not now. Plus she's been in France since July filming Les Petits Mouchoirs with Guillaume.
But I wouldn't rule out the Brad/Diane guess. The rumours were there around the time of Troy and then again with Inglorious BastedsReplyCancel
I would love it if it was Jim and Jenny. Did you guys read what it said about their foundation in the times today?
"Some anti-vaccine groups are also highly organized and quick to respond to openings to promote their message. For instance, this week, an 8-year-old boy from Long Island died roughly a week after receiving a swine flu vaccine, though officials from the New York State Department of Health denied a connection.
Almost instantly, on a memorial page on Newsday's Web site for the boy, Sean Weisse, a message from an anti-vaccine advocacy group appeared: "We are so sorry to hear about Sean. My understanding, and forgive me if I'm wrong, is that this was a vaccine-related injury. If so, we would like to help you. Best regards, Stan Kurtz, Generation Rescue, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy's Organization."
"Not to nitpick,…"
I think you just did.ReplyCancel
I hope it's Jim Carrey simply because I absolutely despise Jenny McCarthy. She would have zero relevance if she wasn't always dragging out "MY AUTISTIC SON!!!" for attention and press and book deals. Anyone who uses their child, especially a special needs child, for attention and fame-whoring deserves a special place in Hell, IMHO. She is reprehensible and deserves every bad thing that can happen. Not that I think autism should be ignored or anything, but I just cannot believe she is doing what she does for that kid, she is doing it for HER, plain and simple. Which is repulsive.
Oh, and every man in Hollywood is gay. Period. No exceptions, which wouldn't matter to me except that I do think that Julian McMahon is so good looking that it kills me he's got to be gay. Oh well!ReplyCancel
russell crowe and elizabeth banksReplyCancel
@Kara – awesome response to DulceReplyCancel
I don't think it's Brad/Diane.
Diane was asked about the fling report going around in an article promoting IB. Said it was stupid, to quote her "I spent one day on set with Brad, the next thing I know it was reported I was having a fling with him. I don't know how Brad puts up with this stuff. I find it very distracting."
When she was asked why actors would have onset hookups, she roughly said, "I think you have to want to do something like that. I'm very happy in my relationship, so the thought/want is not even there".ReplyCancel
