GOP Lobbyist Wants To Ban Gay Players From The NFL.
I'll save getting too worked up over that for if (when) someone actually tries to move forward with some legislation--which I think is unlikely--but what a jackass.

Society is moving to a point where we are going to have unisex bathrooms
Yo, Jack. I think that ship has sailed. Been to a night club in a large city any time in the past 10 years?
Anyhoo, good luck with that.

The Post also interviewed Burkman's brother Jim, a Seattle anesthesiologist who is gay, who dismissed the potential legislation as "just hurtful and ridiculous and just plain stupid."
I would have bet money on the lobbyist being gay, but having a gay family member and still trying to introduce this bill?
Awkward Thanksgiving moments, ahoy!

I love the fact that his brother is an anethe anesthesiologist (hell, I had to copy and paste the word; I can't spell the damn thing). Sometimes these problems have potential built-in solutions that don't require much imagination to implement.
What if Cheney's daughter was a taxidermist?

I think I've previously mentioned my father's advice that went, "If you're going to commit a crime, don't cross state lines to do it." Might want to add an addendum to make sure your marital life is peachy beforehand as well.

Appropriate that the gun was turned in to police at tipoff time.
