It is being reported that New York
Governor Andrew Cuomo will be vetoing the ridiculously gerrymandered
legislative redistricting just submitted to him by the leaders of the Senate
and the Assembly. Just looking at some of the maps cracks me up. Look at my
district: http://www.latfor.state.ny.us/maps/prop2012s/ps30.pdf
GOP introduces a bill banning
same-sex “ceremonies” on military bases. The bill also states that military
chaplains to refuse to conduct same-sex marriages, which they already have the
power to do but Republicans like to waste time and restate stuff that is
already law.
North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue
announced last week that she will not seek reelection. This may not bode well
for Democrats looking to hold an important swing state that is also the host of
this year’s convention, but some however are cheering since she is under
federal investigation for campaign finance improprieties.
Parents in PA are pissed at Pottstown
Middle School’s principal for banning UGG boots in the classroom. Principal
Gail Cooper sent a letter home on Wednesday that said the school’s been having
a problem with students hiding prohibited items like cell phones in their “open
top boots.”
Pennsylvania’s House passed a
resolution declaring 2012 “The Year of the Bible.” The Freedom From Religion
Foundation put it best: “Our constitution grants sovereignty not to a deity or
a ‘holy book,’ but to ‘We, the People.’ There is no reference to God, the bible,
the Ten Commandments or Jesus in the U.S. Constitution, just as there are no
references to ‘consent of the governed,’ ‘civil liberties’ or ‘democracy’ in
the bible. Those who have truly studied the bible realize that it is a moral
quagmire, a behavioral grab bag, which has been used to justify automatic rule,
tyranny, slavery, the degradation of women and gays, child abuse, war, atrocity
and mayhem.”
Even though the Supreme Court of
the United States has said that it is totally constitutional for a school to
require its counseling students to meet with LGBT students to complete their
degree, a judge in Michigan said that the anti-gay student has the right to sue
the school for expulsion. I’m hoping there was just some technicality as to why
she can sue even though they did nothing wrong.
