There's been lots going on in the world while I was computerless in Vegas. While there, I noticed another example of illegal immigrants doing jobs Americans won't do. There were groups of them handing out the nudie pictures of the easily available flesh (to your door in 20 minutes).
Vegas came by its "Sin City" title honestly. The Yellow Pages had over 100 pages of "entertainers" and almost 50 pages of massage parlors. Some felt it necessary to indicate they were nonsexual if that tells you anything. Those pages were only outnumbered by ads for attorneys.
Sen. Clinton is hanging tough after a win in West Virginia. Tomorrow she's expected to win easily in Kentucky and lose in Oregon. Rasmussen gives Obama a 92.8% chance of winning the Democratic nomination and the Dems a 62.3% chance of winning in November.
Maybe I'll do an Alec Baldwin and threaten to leave the country if that happens. Not only did Baldwin not leave, but now he thinks he might be interested in getting involved in politics. If you missed his 60 Minutes appearance, you can catch it here.
So Obama thinks what his wife says shouldn't be an issue in this campaign. In an appearance on Good Morning America, the senator says that the GOP should lay off his wife. In that case, maybe he'd better take her off the trail. If you watch the last minute of the clip, you'll see that the Mrs. has a pretty strong mind of her own.
The California Supreme Court has fabricated a right to gay marriage. Gee, they already had the right to divorce and to sue for child support. In this Washington Post article, one of the dissenting judges pointed out "that the court overstepped its authority and that changes to marriage laws should be decided by the voters."
In Britain, the slippery slope is going downhill fast as the House of Commons rejected a ban on human-animal hybrids, commonly referred to as chimeras.

IF you are so bored you have to lookup massage parlors, maybe you ought to rent A DAY WITHOUT A MEXICAN. It's not a great movie, but it would show you what would happen if all the immigrants disappeared. Instead of making snide comments about them, why don't you go out and meet them. Find out what they are about. Find out what they want, their hopes and fears. Find out how to help them. It is your Christian responsibility to help the poor.
I'm also curious about what you plan to do now that Gays can marry in California? Do you feel differently about your husband? Are your wedding vows less important now? I doubt it.
Maybe you ought to go outside your rather sheltered life and get to know some real gay people. They aren't monsters or depraved. They are perfectly normal. It's the way they were born.
