Costly beliefs: State squeezes last penny from bakers who defied lesbian-wedding cake order. This is what happens when liberals take over. They just love confiscating guns, money, property and most of all constitutional rights.

Putting the wow in pow wow: Indian tribe approves gay marriage
Brokeback Mountain broke new ground and you knew, or at least you suspected, that as soon as we had gay cowboys, gay Indians would want in on the action, too.
It was inevitable, we suppose, that in this day of real and imagined rights and slights that gay Indians would demand the right to cozy up in their teepees with whomever they want.
Brokeback Mountain broke new ground and you knew, or at least you suspected, that as soon as we had gay cowboys, gay Indians would want in on the action, too.
It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “putting an arrow in your quiver.”
The Associated Press has the heap big headline:
The Suquamish Tribal Council voted Monday to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples on its reservation near Seattle, after the measure gained support from more than 100 tribal members at a meeting this spring.
The new law allows the tribal court to issue a marriage license to two unmarried people, regardless of their sex, if they’re at least 18 years old and at least one of them is enrolled in the tribe.It will be up to other courts to decide if unions granted under the Suquamish ordinance will be recognized elsewhere in Washington, said the tribe’s attorney, Michelle Hansen.
Gay marriage is still illegal in the state, but the Legislature this year approved a measure recognizing same-sex unions from other jurisdictions, which include other nations. State lawmakers also have approved so-called “everything but marriage” laws, granting same-sex couples many rights.
“Walks With Swish,” the minister said, “do you promise to love, honor and obey Lisping Fox?”

First Lady: What is this gay marriage of which you speak?
First lady Michelle Obama’s office on Tuesday quickly shot down the suggestion that she has ever publicly voiced support for same-sex marriage.
We hate to say this, but our faith in human nature has been shattered. Again.
If you can’t trust lying, cheating former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey, who can you trust?
Politico.com has the story:
First lady Michelle Obama’s office on Tuesday quickly shot down the suggestion that she has ever publicly voiced support for same-sex marriage, a policy her husband opposes even as the left pressures him to take a stand.
“Mrs. Obama has never made any public statements about same-sex marriage,” her communications director, Kristina Schake, said in an email to POLITICO.
The response comes after former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, a Democrat, suggested Monday night on CNN that Barack and Michelle Obama may not have the same opinion about gay marriage. McGreevey said of the president: “If he could only listen to Michelle more often” when it comes to his stance on same-sex marriage.
He should listen to Michelle more often? For god’s sake, Governor McGreevey, we’re pretty sure that not listening to Michelle is not an option for the poor man.
Last thing he wants is to be the recipient of one of her patented death glares.

Hypocrite Elton John tired of being treated like “second-class citizen” in United States
Last time we checked, Elton John was still British. So let’s just set aside the fact that he couldn’t possibly be a second-class citizen in the United States because he’s not a citizen to begin with.
Last time we checked, Elton John was still British. So let’s just set aside the fact that he couldn’t possibly be a second-class citizen in the United States because he’s not a citizen to begin with.
Nevertheless, the washed-up rock and roll star is pissy – very pissy indeed – about California’s gay marriage ban.
The Associated Press has the details:
The outspoken British piano man, who became a parent to a baby boy on Christmas Day with partner David Furnish, added that “as I get older, I get more angry about it.”
“In this country, we need more dialogue,” he said during an interview Friday. “We don’t need any more stone throwing. We don’t need any more vitriol. We need people to say, ‘OK. I’m straight. You’re gay. Let’s get along. I’m Republican. You’re Democratic. Let’s work together.’ I’m sick and tired of people being hateful to each other in this country.”
John disappointed some gay rights activists after California’s Proposition 8 banning gay marriage passed in 2008 when he said he had no desire to get married and was satisfied with his civil partnership in England.
He sang a different tune Wednesday when he praised the effort to overturn Proposition 8 and promised to do everything he could to support it, even though he is British.
A story from the Editor regarding Elton John’s devotion to equality:
I have a very good friend who is a muckeymuck executive with a major foreign corporation. One day I visited him in his office and noticed that he had a photo of himself with Elton John on his wall. Elton had one arm around my friend, the other arm around his wife, and a big smile on his face.
“Cool,” I said, “What’s Elton John like?”
He said his company had hired John to perform at a major corporate meeting. Part of the deal was that he would pose for photos with the executives and their wives after performing.
So after the show, which my friend said was terrific, the executives and their wives lined up to have their photos taken with John. According to my friend, John stood there sullenly and refused to speak to any of the executives as they had their photos taken. One by one, he robotically put an arm around each of them, flashed a big, phony smile for the instant each photo was taken, and then returned to his sullen, silent self. He chose to ignore the people who had just paid him a hefty fee to perform for an hour.
I think that if you asked my friend, he’d say Elton John treated him like a second class citizen.

Ben & Jerry celebrate gay marriage with new ice cream flavor called “Hubby Hubby”
The leftwing lunatics at Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream are celebrating Vermont’s decision to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples by renaming its “Chubby Hubby” ice cream flavor “Hubby Hubby” for the month of September.
The leftwing lunatics at Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream are celebrating Vermont’s decision to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples by renaming its “Chubby Hubby” ice cream flavor “Hubby Hubby” for the month of September.
Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up.
“At the core of Ben & Jerry’s values, we believe that social justice can and should be something that every human being is entitled to,” said Ben & Jerry’s CEO, Walt Freese.
“From the very beginning of our 30 year history,” he continued, “we have supported equal rights for all people. The legalisation of marriage for gay and lesbian couples in Vermont is certainly a step in the right direction and something worth celebrating with peace, love and plenty of ice cream.”
Hubby Hubby contains chocolate-covered peanut butter-filled pretzel nuggets.
We assume it also has twice as many nuts as the old Chubby Hubby.

What happens when you attempt to tell the president that you’re against gay marriage?
There was quite a scene at LAX yesterday. Brenda Lee, a reporter for the Macon, Georgia Informer wanted to give the President a letter urging him “to take a stand for traditional marriage.”
Two officers picked her up and carried her away – kicking and screaming — because they were afraid she’d attempt to give the letter to the president.
The One is not one to be trifled with.

Media downplays huge Hispanic protest against gay marriage
While the left demonized those damn white conservatives — evildoers like Miss California Carrie Prejean — as homophobes, a huge, mostly Hispanic crowd took to the streets of New York in opposition to Governor Patterson’s same-sex bill. The crowd, which some estimate at 20,000, gathered at the Governor’s Manhattan office, stretching from 35th to 40th Street on 3rd Avenue.
Welcome to the family, fellow right wing extremists.

Is Carrie Prejean backing out of Fox News hosting gig?
Rumors are running rampant that Miss California Carrie Prejean is reconsidering her decision to co-host the Fox News morning show.
Here’s how MediaBistro.com reports the story:
Fox News insiders tell TVNewser Carrie Prejean is having second thoughts about co-hosting Fox & Friends next Wednesday. “Prejean’s people emailed Friday night calling off the deal,” the insider tells us.
Prejean, the reigning Miss California who’s been in the headlines for her stand on gay marriage, is scheduled to fill in for vacationing Gretchen Carlson on Wednesday, May 27.
We hear negotiations continued through the weekend to try and salvage the booking. A Fox News spokesperson tells TVNewser Prejean is “absolutely still hosting.”
Say it ain’t true, Carrie. If you don’t appear on Fox & Friends we’ll be forced to continue watching Cops reruns on G4.

Miss California loses Miss USA title because she doesn’t believe in gay marriage
For some unknown reason, Donald Trump invited offensive and flamboyantly gay Hollywood blogger Perez Hilton to be a judge at the Miss USA pageant last night. He probably won’t be invited back.
It was bad enough that his question to Miss California was, “Vermont recently became the 4th state to legalize same sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?”
She gave a well-reasoned, well-spoken answer. We always thought that was the basis on which contestants were judged in the question and answer segment. Apparently not. Perez Hilton judged the content of her answer and came to the conclusion that it didn’t match his beliefs.
Miss California, who had already won the swimsuit and evening gown portions of the competition, lost the crown to Miss North Carolina when she had the nerve to express herself honestly:
“In my country, in my family, I think that I believe a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there, but that’s how I was raised.”
Hilton’s face froze tighter than Nancy Pelosi’s after a botox injection. As soon as the competition was over, he rushed back to his hotel room and posted this video blog to his followers.
“Miss California lost not because she doesn’t believe in gay marriage. Miss California lost because she was a dumb bitch.” He continued, “If that girl would have won Miss USA, I would have gone up on stage, I shit you not, I would have gone up on stage, grabbed that tiara off her head, and run out the door. And then I would have probably been arrested, but so what.”
It might not be much consolation, but we have a tiara here and we’d like to present it to Miss California and officially name her “Miss IHateTheMedia.com.”

Oscar is a commie, homo-lovin’ son of a gun. And we’re just getting started.
Sean Penn won the Best Actor award Sunday night for his portrayal of Harvey Milk, America’s first openly gay elected politician.
In accepting his award, Penn gleefully described the Academy voters as “commie, homo-loving sons of guns.” He also criticized California’s voters for their ban on gay marriage.
But let’s not forget what else Sean Penn is. He’s also a Hugo Chavez-ACLU-Mahmoud Ahmadinejad-Cindy Sheehan-Dennis Kucinich-Ralph Nader-Fidel Castro lovin’ son of a gun. He’s supported every anti-American tin horn dictator, politician and policy that’s come down the left side of the road in the last twenty-five years.
We’d like to thank the Academy. For bringing Sean Penn up on stage every few years just to remind us just how anti-American Hollywood can be.
Oscar crisis: They’ve run out of colors for red carpet ribbons
Last night at the Oscars, they broke out white “knots” in support of gay marriage.
We can only assume that’s because white ribbons had already been used by too many other causes — safe motherhood, awareness of violence against women, teen pregnancy, and a host of others.
The fact is, there’s a colored ribbon crisis in Hollywood. Ever since this fad started with yellow ribbons for the Iran hostages, we’ve seen colored ribbon after colored ribbon supporting one cause after another. How are we supposed to know what cause they want us to support if each color supports multiple causes?
Are those black ribbons for the death of princess Diana, victims of Hurrricane Katrina, or melanoma awareness?
Are those blue ribbons for child abuse or prostrate cancer?
Do the green ribbons support for environmental causes or farm families?
And the purple ribbons. Are they for Alzheimer’s or epilepsy?
But here’s one thing we do know: The stars should have been wearing black-and-blue ribbons to support Rihanna.
Tom Hanks is the new George Clooney. But without the rugged good looks. And the hair. And the chicks.
Remember back when Tom Hanks was a lovable goof ball who made TV shows like “Bosom Buddies” and movies like “Big?”
On one hand, he didn’t win any Academy Awards. But on the other hand, he didn’t annoy the hell out of us with any offensive anti-Mormon comments.
Looks like we’re not alone. Here’s what Andrew Brietbart had to say about Hanks on a recent O’Reilly show:
“I would say that Tom Hanks has been doing this for many years. It’s just now coming to our notice that he has been running with the far left in Hollywood. Back in 1998, he gave the maximum amount of money that he could to Bill Clinton’s defense fund. This is a man who was against gay marriage, as was Hillary Clinton. So, it’s strange that he has now come out against Mormons.”
Hanks has since apologized for his anti-Mormon remarks. But, Tom, we still need an apology for that Clinton Defense Fund donation.
