More about Kentucky's ignorant bigot of the week: Kim Davis

You've probably already heard or read the recent story about Kim Davis, the Rowan County clerk in Kentucky who refused to sign same-gender marriage licenses, and is now appealing her right to not do her job to the Supreme Court. Talk about a waste of taxpayers' money all around!

Half-baked Kentucky fried chick

"All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression." ~ Thomas Jefferson

Cherish your children takes on a whole new meaning

This past week, Cherish Peterson – a 27-year-old mother with four young children in Gilbert, Arizona – "forgot" her infant in a shopping cart outside of a hair salon, and drove home. It wasn't until forty minutes later when she arrived home that she realized her baby wasn't in the car.

Why is the mainstream media ignoring Bernie Sanders?

A friend posed this question on her Facebook wall this morning. Coming from a career in the entertainment industry, here's my theory.

Bernie Sanders is not perceived as charismatic. He comes off as a schlub who lacks polish. He doesn't put on a "show." He's Larry David when people want Kevin Spacey. A president needs to have chutzpah and know when to be ruthless. Read more about why I think Bernie is being "trumped" by the media.

To President Obama & Congress: It is time to Legalize Marijuana at the Federal Level

Mr. President and Members of Congress,

This is about legalizing, thereby decriminalizing marijuana federally. The citizens of our country have made their voices heard on this subject by passing laws at the state level. Ironically, the use of medical marijuana is legal right there in the nation's capital, in Washington, DC, yet still illegal under federal law.

The Controlled Substances Act is in direct violation of the 9th and 10th Amendments in the US Constitution, and is therefore unconstitutional.

Chew on this, Chris Christie...

Mr. Christie,

It is telling that on your presidential campaign page, you've made it impossible for American voters to send you their thoughts, compared to President Obama who has an entirely accessible administration. Are you afraid to hear feedback that doesn't support your views? 

The policies you plan to implement strip us of even more of our civil liberties. You want to send America backwards, rather than being forward-thinking and acknowledging the evolution of society.

Walter Palmer brags about killing Cecil

"Reviled dentist Walter Palmer tried — but failed — 

to impress a waitress with his hunting prowess

by showing her a gruesome photo of ­Cecil’s carcass." 

Palmer told the waitress at Doolittle Woodfire Grill

in Alexandria, Minnesota, that he held the record

for killing the "world’s biggest lion."

Hail Cecil the Lion!

The story of Cecil, the majestic Zimbabwe lion, has been in the news as I write this. He was lured out of his protected habitat by Walter Palmer (a Minnesotan dentist), helped by some guides, where Palmer shot Cecil with an arrow, but failed to kill him. (Palmer, obviously not very competent with a bow-and-arrow, refers to his "hobby" of killing animals as something he does for "fun." Since when is killing anything fun?)
        Palmer and the guides then hunted the injured and suffering lovely lion before killing, beheading, and skinning him, all in the name of “sport.”
