Alright, I don’t like Obama. I never did. Now he just continues to break promise, after promise. But this isn’t a blog post to preach. It’s just a collection of articles I wanted to share. Right now even Dick Cheney has a better record than Obama.
Cheers.

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog.
The California Supreme Court released their ruling on Proposition 8. Their ruling was unsurprising, uninspired, and lacked any originality.
There’s a video at the end of this post that appropriately anchors my feelings.
Then there are whackjobs who want to go to the local U.S. consulate or Embassy to protest. Really… will that actually do anything? No! The court won’t change its mind.

(Mind you, that’s going to be a fun thing because the Supreme Court certainly appears to have more or less made up its mind that those marriages remain valid, regardless of whether or not prop 8 actually gets overturned. So we’ve got a really nice legal contradiction that someone, somewhere, can probably use as a chink in prop 8′s armor). Read more... (466 words, estimated 1:52 mins reading time)

So while I was doing some research on my next blog post, I came across this blog post telling readers to thank cola giant Pepsi for supporting gay rights.
Yes, you read that correctly.
We are supposed to thank Pepsi for supporting gay rights.
Call me cynical, but shouldn’t we EXPECT a company to support gay rights? In an Obama world, shouldn’t it be presumed that all companies would offer benefits to same-sex partners, and so forth?
Yeah Michael Jones, I am so unimpressed. Read more... (238 words, estimated 57 secs reading time)
