What is with the so-called Christian pastors in North Carolina lately? A few weeks ago we had the creep who told dads to punch their toddler sons for acting "gay," and now we have the Rev. Charles Worley whose idea of delivering a stirring Mother's Day sermon is to suggest we round up all the gays and lesbians and place them in concentration camps. 

Worley was videotaped standing at the pulpit of the Providence Road Baptist Church on May 13 calling for an electrified fence to be built to keep the nation's LGBT community. There Worley said they can "die off."

Disturbing. And a somewhat ironic choice of words for a guy who also called President Barack Obama a baby killer.

Sigh. Of course they're going there. Will Smith slapped a male reporter this week at the Men in Black 3 premiere in Moscow for trying to kiss him, and the "OMG, Will Smith really MAY be gay" rumors are already going crazy on the interwebs. People! Get hold of yourselves!

Not wanting a guy to plant his lips on him doesn't put Will Smith in the "he doth protest too much" camp. He's a human being who gets to say who -- and when -- gets their lips on his. And as far as Big Willie's concerned, that apparently does not include a Ukrainian reporter from 1+1. Who can blame him? Gay, straight, they just met! I'd have been pretty PO'd myself.

And we thought roofies were scary. The date-rape drug has nothing on scopolamine, the zombie drug from Columbia. This odorless, tasteless drug can be blown in your face, and it only takes minutes to affect you, turning you into a slave to suggestion.

The drug commonly known as “Devil’s Breath” comes from a tree in South America with leafy branches and sweet-smelling flowers. Locals call them ‘borrachero’ trees (loosely translated to ‘get-you-drunk’), and Colombian mothers warn their children not to fall asleep under them lest they fall prey to the poisonous pollen.

Well, well, well. Remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona? He's one of the last nutjobs in American who can't let go of that birther baloney. And then there was his mugshot humiliation game. And his fondness for female chain gangs. And best of all (because there is such a heaping, stinking, steaming pile of awesome coming out of this here man) there was his immigration bill -- or as the civilized world likes to call it, legalized racial profiling.

Oh it's not just me. The Justice Department is suing Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the Maricopa Sheriff's Office in a civil rights case. The case alleges that the Maricopa police force "discriminates against Latinos, uses excessive force, runs its jail unconstitutionally and has taken illegal action to silence critics." Hallelujah. Of course, the "Toughest Sheriff in Arizona" could have avoided this lawsuit.

I'm sure we've all been waiting breathlessly to hear what Bristol Palin, daughter of Sarah, has to say about ... well, anything, right? She's such a card-carrying member of the intelligensia. But now she has blogged about Obama's support of gay marriage. And guess what, all? She thinks it's wrong. In fact, she seems to be blaming Obama's backing of gay marriage on the hit TV show Glee. Which I didn't really understand, but most of what she had to say wouldn't get past a first grade English teacher. Writes Palin:

Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape [Malia and Sasha's] thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee.

Only a matter of hours after President Obama made his landmark announcement in support of same-sex marriage, a Republican led panel had their say. The House Armed Services Committee approved an amendment banning gay couples from getting hitched on U.S. military bases. The measure was part of a HUGE $642 billion defense bill (and we wonder why our government's broke -- guh!).

It won't be considered by the full House until later this month, but in the meantime, they also approved another measure, which "protects military personnel from reprisals for standing strong on their religious beliefs concerning homosexuality." Sounds like that'll give some a free pass to be bigots. Awesome!

For every few steps we take forward, seems like we can always count on the GOP to do their damndest to drag us kicking and screaming back into the dark ages.

It's official: Obama has reversed his longstanding position and announced today that he supports same-sex marriage. "I thought civil unions would be sufficient," he said in an ABC interview, before describing the evolution that led him to conclude that he was wrong about this position. "For me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married."

This makes Obama the first president to stand up openly and explicitly in favor of gay marriage. But he didn't make this decision alone. He's had pressure from voters and his party, of course. But before making this decision he talked with three very important people. Michelle, Sasha, and Malia.

Foamy the Squirrel is fed up, okay? And he has every reason to be! 

"What the hell is wrong with everybody? Are people still really so upset about gay marriage in the United States? Seriously?!"

Foamy, in case you haven't heard, is the "all-knowing, hyper-logical, ranting squirrel known throughout the lands for his Squirrelly Wrath."

I'm not entirely sure if Foamy really is all-knowing, but he's definitely hyper-logical. Especially when he goes off on the "sanctity of marriage."
