Happy late night all!
The NY State Assembly just passed gay marriage. The real fight of
course is in the Senate. But at least we get to watch that on

I like boobs

lisa! bovine scat!

Methinks somebody got hisself a hummer and Ms Cali got to keep herself a crown.

That only happens in the White House

I think she was told to STFU and do her job. Donald doesnt need a hummer–it’s the sound ot money that gets him off.

i wonder what her parents’ reaction to all this bruhaha is.

Whatever it was, I am certain that it exceeds your daily sleaze quotient.

What absolute twaddle?

Oh, you underestimate me…but thanks. I think….

i figure they are upset about the photos (as would most parents) but wonder what their reaction was that she got a boob job. and when it came out that the boob job was paid for by the pageant. and about possibily losing her crown.

or are they thrilled that she got to meet the donald.

I hae family members who are very uncomfy with my discussing LGBT issues in a public forum, let along discussing same sex marriage with them in private.

The Donald oozes sleaze like a toxic waste dump.

She’s a tramp, she blew Trump to get the deal, and she’s as dead as yesterday’s news as Sarah Palin is.

The less blog coverage they get, the better.

I respect lap dancers, whores, and hi end call girls and guys more than this skank.

With the others, the money’s always on the table.

With Prejean, the money’s hushed up, dirty like.

She’s a nobody.

Bovine scat shoulda been ’skank shat’, or at least ‘feline scat’, but that’s an insult to kitteh’s everywhere.

*G*

SUZ!!!!!!! lol

no harrumph larue? *waving*

This is the second time you’ve elicited this response outta me:

Boobs A Lot

Yer a cheap reply, I’ll say that . . . *G*

I think Carrie’s parents are pretty unhappy people. According to TMZ, their divorce was very messy, with lots of accusations of homosexulaity flying back and forth

http://www.tmz.com/2009/05/07/…..-marriage/

And btw, Carrie recorded a phone solictation call for NOM–whose pres maggie gallagher makes 125K a year off her charity

Hi Larue.

I’m not convinced that she “blew” Trump, but I agree with everything else.

Regards

egad – so carrie is not going to shut up. oy.

Suz @12:

A ‘harumph’ is for things that matter.

It’s mind over matter.

I don’t mind, cuz she don’t matter.

/NYTawk *G* *wavesbacj*

I meant “boobies”

My Bad ;~P

Dr. Bong @19:

*G* Yer a hoss, hoss . . . lol

Donald was looking for something to give Miss USA/Miss Universe some viability…I think pageants like these are very creepy and weird. I have watched some of the doc on them and the tv shows..horrifying.

I meant vitality..not enough coffee

I wondered if perhaps Trump being past due to trade in his wife was a factor. Been a couple years now…

I think they’re all “creepy & weird”

That’s just me.

DR. Bong @22:

I think the Holy Modal folks called it for what it is. *G*

Dang I miss them phreaks . . . *G*

… and don’t bring no bird pics

;~P

She is so intelligent that she will be a regular on all the Faux News shows as an expert commentator.

neuticles… :-/

There is that. He likes to trade ‘em in when the “new” wears off.

but she wasn’t even the winner. she was the runner up – she only won miss california and lost usa to whatshername.

For all parties involved it’s a huge publicity stunt, and the loser out of it is marriage equality IMHO. A very serious civil rights issue has been reduced to a circus.

There was a pageant?

Don’t care for pageants. Personally, I’ve always been attracted to intelligent women. Bit of a Catch-22 that, since it also means they’re smart enough to know they can do better…

Meanwhile, what about the head of charity getting paid 42% of the revenue–“like Maggie Gallagher, head of National Organizatin for Marriage?

I see very little dif tween the call gal that buried Elliot Spitzer, and Prejean.

Bad home lives . . . bad choices after . . . and confused minds always grasping for glory.

Using others, all the time, to get their whiles . . . . I really appreciate Lisa D’s perspectives on this one.

Sick is as sick does, Mz. d . . . thanks for the post . . . . lotta intuitive in it . . and yer comments. *G*

I don’t care how big her boobs are now, that girl is fighting way outside of her weight class. It’s a curious choice for a young woman who obviously hopes to make a living in some segment of the entertainment establishment, with Hollywood being the most obvious destination since she doesn’t seem to possess Broadway talent. Miss California has a queer career strategy if you ask me.

The good news: didn’t plan to give the NOMskulls any money anyway.

It might be infantile and a little insulting but this recent tempest in a teapot doesn’t have the power to diminish the cause of marriage equality.

The real winner is Trump–followed by Carrie. And yes, Millineryman, marriage equality was a loser. Hopefully though, someone/s will be able to educate Carrie about equal rights and let her know that no churches will be forced to marry people they dont want to marry…

that really should be illegal – or at least cause to remove the designation of non profit

Don’t sell yerself short.

Lucky in love & lucky in life myself.

Dry wit has its qualities.

;~P

I think the tsunami is coming and nothing they can do will stop it.

Actually, I think it is, but IANAL.

It doesn’t help it either when a stunt like this uses the fact that the President of the country is against marriage equality for those who maybe sitting on the fence.

I think that in the medium to long run could open further dialog, especially since the NY state assembly just passed same sex marriage!

Learned a long time ago that people who make their happiness contingent on things they lack are never happy. I’m happy with what I have.

.
Turns out, the whole magilla was just a publicity stunt to promote the new Biblically correct DVD of “Christian Girls Gone Wild.”

Perez Hilton get 10%

Trump gets 20%

Prejean gets 5%.

Piss-poor negotiating on her part. And she’s the one who has to be naked.

Trump offered, but…
.

Simpatico

Hasta manana, all.

I really do think that we have an unstoppable trend going here. It will take a long time (maybe forever) in some areas of the country (my native Oklahoma or Mississippi and Alabama), but as more states legalize it and the sky does not fall and they are not destroyed by hellfire and brimstone, most other states will also legalize it.

As the late Senator Everett Dirksen said (paraphrasing Victor Hugo) in reference to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, “Stronger than all the armies is an idea whose time has come.”

The time for marriage equality has at hand.

Night.

G’night, DrBong.

Agreed.

g’nite dr bong

The current trend looks promising but the Bible-Belt states will resist until SCOTUS eventually makes it the law of the land. It’ll take a number of years and the replacement of some of the more conservative SC justices to make that possible. It will happen in the not TOO distant future though.

How come the edit feature hasn’t made it to La Figa yet?

The tax exempt status of tax exempt charities may start getting tougher and face more scrutiny as the govt seeks new revenue streams.

My city, in an attempt to get ore money has decided people who work at home as writers, artsits, consultants, any 1099 income, must pay a business tax, even if we dont break even

It needs to be recognized at the federal level so all gay and
lesbians have the freedom and the recognition of their rights in every state.

tech crew is still working on restoring that feature at the sister blogs.

A millionaire assh*le with a combover hairdo says that gay marriage is too complicated to state his position (doggie style) holding court over women with sophomoric opinions and saline breast implants. What’s not to like?

What a crock!

geez. that sucks lisa – and shows how hard up they are for revenue. i hope they take a good hard look at those charities and their exception from taxes. along with churches who cross that separation church/state line

I wish I knew–there’s an edit feature? (hard to tell frm my tpying!)

time for me to head to bed. Stoopit final exams just won’t grade themselves. Take care all.

it is a newly restored feature at fdl lisa – gives ya a few minutes to go back into your comment and edit it. it is a nice feature for those of us who see typos after submitting the comment.

g’nite dr dick

Wow that’s just not right.

Not enough politicians with the guts to go after the church businesses.

There’s you answer, Lisa! Get yourself ordained and designate your home church property.

Does anyone know whatever happened in NH? The last I heard the bill went to the gov for his signature.

G’nite.

S’pose I’ll head out too. Nighters to all.

g’nite ratfood

night!

I think what is reprehensible abou tthis is that there is a whole list of Prejean’ss violations
http://www.tmz.com/2009/05/11/…..ghty-list/
and she gets off with no consequences.

I may not be in the majority here on this one, but I personally think that Miss Half-Dressed was somewhat abused by the Miss USA pageant people. Fine, she answered badly and that cost her the Miss USA crown, but then going after her with vindictive leak after leak was over the top. This is once again a free country (sort of), and, in it, even she should be entitled to her small-minded ‘lil opinions. Pageants are a private affair of course, but going after the contestants for expressing unpopular opinions is, at best, in bad taste. This whole thing kind of smacked of the whole Dixie Chicks fiasco and it made me rather uncomfortable.

While the Donald may have won this PR battle, whatever credibility pageants had is gone.

yes, the pageant should have conducted their investigation into her behavior behind the scenes. I think the Miss California commercial in response to the controversy was very tasteful, but the leaks weren’t.

The whole thing unfolded like reality tv

kinda like a reverse american idol – the winner was selected on the first show and then it drags on week after week

*spit take*

The Miss USA pageant has never had much cred – it’s fundamentally a cheap knock-off of the Miss America pageant, which does. They may be unhappy.

For to big to fail Donald, any publicity is good publicity.

I’m gonna pray for Miss California.

Thats the best plan, that her mind be opned and her tongue loosened

Well I kinda agree with your sentiments. However, how much nicer it would have been for Miss USA to realize that everyone in the USA has an opinion and, as Miss USA representing the whole country, she could have offered up some noncommittal pablum, like “it’s a free country and everyone is entitled to their opinion about such a controversial subject.” I think they have coaches to help dodge those bullets?

to be fair, I’m not complaining that her answer cost her contest. It was a bad answer. I just think what they did afterwards (going after their own contestant with immature behavior) was in bad taste, is all…

OK, I’m in danger of three comments in a row but I can’t resist…are Mr. and Mrs. Slowski still married? Bill O’Reilly is upset about the turtles getting married now.

oh crap – i break that 3 comments in a row thingie all the time. *looking around* am i gonna get sent to the corner or something

Oh thank goodness you’re here suze. I hate talking to myself!

So. About the Slowskis. Can they still use their dial up and stay in their house? They haven’t been evicted because they’re turtles, have they? Has Billo’s winged monkeys ambushed them with their TV cameras?

Oh, you;r enot supposed to do the three comments in a row thingy…?

he must be upset that the honeymoon ended up on youtube

Oh, it’s more of a personal ethics thingy…like just because I can doesn’t mean I should. But other people (head pointing at Suze) can do whatever they want. It’s a free country!!!

Here’s the Billo thing on turtles cuz I can’t let it go;

O’Reilly: Hoover, you would let everybody get married who want to get married. You want to marry a turtle, you can.

HOOVER: Due process. I want to abide by the law. If the law says I can marry a turtle, I’ll marry a turtle. Last time I checked, we’re a Judeo-Christian culture that doesn’t allow me to marry turtles.

Gah!!! they should get a room!!! ROFLMAO

late late nite up at the mothership

OMG that’s so cute. I heart slowskis!

nightie night!

So I guess this joke of a woman thinks it is fashionable to be a part time Christian. Can’t go along with equal rights for all humanity, but can go ahead and take your clothes off and have photos taken for anyone to see. Get plastic body parts because the parts God gave her were inadequate. What a joke. The even bigger joke is the asshole who makes her sign a contract and does nothing when the terms are broken.

Trump knows how to play his cards.

I like the part where she says “I am not an activist, I am not anything.”

I also like her Palin moment where she tries to argue that her freedom of speech has been abridged by criticism.
