MAC cancels Rodarte line -

Design team Rodarte named items in their MAC makeup line after a violence-ridden town in Mexico (notorious for unsolved rape and murder of hundreds of young women). The line is now canceled. In all of this, one of the most surprising things (to me) is that there are people who are arguing that they hadn’t ever heard of Juarez until two designers named a nail polish after it…

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Via Sarah Palin’s main political platform, Facebook, which is used by college co-eds to exchange pictures of inebriation.

Maryland is a lost cause, I’ve lived here all my life and Marylanders always vote the same democrat losers in office. This state deserves everything it has got because the stupid residents are majority democrat and it will always be a loser state until that changes. Having said that it will never change and will always be a loser state. Erhlich maybe a republican but he’s a Maryland republican which is about the same thing as a democrat… - Robert Ward

Robert’s stream of consciousness is priceless and amazingly self defeating.

Good News

Because Proposition 8 is unconstitutional under both the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses, the court orders entry of judgment permanently enjoining its enforcement; prohibiting the official defendants from applying or enforcing Proposition 8 and directing the official defendants that all persons under their control or supervision shall not apply or enforce Proposition 8. The clerk is DIRECTED to enter judgment without bond in favor of plaintiffs and plaintiff-intervenors and against defendants and defendant-intervenors pursuant to FRCP 58.

Congratulations to the men and women of California.

Congratulations to David Boies and Ted Olson, attorneys on opposing sides of the political spectrum who put integrity and intelligence before partisanship and divisiveness.
