MSM: Being Gay more important than Benghazi
by Joe Keck Diane Sawyer of ABC hit the airways running with the news that Jason Collins, pro basketball star, is gay. It was her first mention among reporting on the Boston bombing and other newsworthy items. George Stephanopoulos, also of ABC, had a long interview with Collins about his homosexuality as well, a segment with the NBA player lasting more than five minutes. That's long interview in news time. USA Today, The Washington Post, The NY Times, The Huffington Post, just about every news outlet in the known universe thinks that someone making an admission that goes against the grain of what we would expect is big news. And I suppose it is a bit shocking that an Athlete on a major American sports team is gay, so, of course the Mainstream Media would cover it. Kind of like [...]

SCOTUS: Gay Marriage Argument Analysis
SCOTUS: Gay Marriage Argument Analysis Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, in an unusually candid process of elimination of options in public, on Tuesday worked his way through the ways for dealing with California’s Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage and seemed strongly tempted to just take a pass. He appeared to be troubled about the Court entering “uncharted waters,” on the core issue of who may marry, but at the same time, he also did not look comfortable with any of the other, more limited options. So he openly wondered why the Court had agreed even to hear this case. Focusing on Kennedy, although that is often the closest one can come to anticipating outcomes on a divided Court, was an even more reliable approach this time given that the other eight Justices [...]
Why are Lesbians are Fat? There is a $1.5 Million dollar Sequester Proof study for that!
Probably they same reason the Federal Government can't cut the fat in their budget. This study is sequester proof The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded $1.5 million to study biological and social factors for why “three-quarters” of lesbians are obese and why gay males are not, calling it an issue of “high public-health significance." Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Mass., has received two grants administered by NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to study the relationship between sexual orientation and obesity. “Obesity is one of the most critical public health issues affecting the U.S. today,” the description of the grant reads. “Racial and socioeconomic disparities in the [...]

Conservatism is Not The Problem
By Joe Keck I love Ann Coulter. Always have. Still do. And I'm not only speaking libido, here (I kind of got a thing for her). I've been one of her biggest champions, defended her when my friends have attacked her, and I've read most of her books. But with her Nov. 21, 2012 column on her website, Romney was not the problem, she has greatly disappointed me. I did agree with some of what she said, but this piece reads like all of the 'Establishment' Elitist Neo-Cons. They, and her article mentioned above, seem to be saying that we strong, Tea-Party types need to lighten up a bit on our hard-line conservative views. We need to 'get with the program,' not be so staunch and staid in our ideals. Join the twenty first century, come out of our troglodyte cave. As Coulter [...]

Romney Aid blames Democrats, not conservatives for Resignation
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Richard Grenell, the 1984 Jenison High School graduate who signed on to and then off from Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign within two weeks, said extreme Democrats led to his short-term role as Romney’s national security and foreign policy spokesman. In an interview with the Desert Sun in Palm Springs, Calif., Grenell acknowledged taking flak from far right conservatives, but said he was not forced out by the Romney camp. He claimed liberals were to blame. "The far left doesn't want a gay person to be conservative and the far right doesn't want a conservative to be gay. Some of the most hateful, mean-spirited intolerant comments about me being the foreign policy and national security spokesman for Governor Romney … were coming from the left,” Grenell [...]
Obama named First Gay President by Newsweek
Newsweek isn’t going to let Time win without a fight. In the battle for most controversial cover of the week, Newsweek fired back at Time magazine’s now-infamous breastfeeding mom image by putting President Barack Obama under a rainbow halo with the tagline "The First Gay President." "Obama's earned every stripe in this haloed rainbow,” Newsweek’s editor-in-chief Tina Brown wrote on Twitter. Last week, Obama officially announced his support for same-sex marriage, becoming the first sitting president in U.S. history to do so. "I've just concluded that 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," Obama told ABC News. The cover story, written by openly gay Newsweek contributor Andrew [...]
