Sarah Silverman on voter fraud

Sarah Silverman recently released a video mocking the voter fraud debate in the United States. This is an argument I believe is a smokescreen for conservatives looking for legal recourse to discourage elderly, students and minorities from voting in the November election.

Note: Sarah is her usual colorful self – this is NSFW

National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

National Association of People Living with AIDS

Although this organization is based in D.C. and your local community may not be doing anything, I thought it was worth posting for those in Washington, D.C. Hopefully, this reminds all of us that there is a very human component to this story, that has yet to write a happy ending.

You may learn more about this organization and the awareness day by linking here.

Have a great weekend

BosGuy brain teaser

brain teaserEach Friday morning I post a riddle or brain teaser.  The idea is to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain.

I’m confident you’ll see through this week’s riddle and figure it out.

This week’s riddle:  Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They don’t know what he looks like but they know his name is John and that he is inside the house. Inside the house is a carpenter, mechanic, plumber and fireman playing poker. Without hesitation they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know who to arrest?

Romney’s foreign policy fumbles

RomneyConsidering the series of foreign policy missteps from  Romney’s campaign, I wonder if he regrets the resignation of Richard Grenell – his initial foreign policy spokesperson. Grenell was forced out in May because he is gay and Romney wanted to appease the Christian Conservatives he continues to pander to.  One cannot help but wonder if Grenell was still working for Romney if his foreign policy gaffes would have even happened.

– In July criticizing the London Olympic games just after arriving in London on the eve of the games starting.  More on this story here from FOX NEWS

– In August suggesting Jews are “Culturally Superior” to Palestinians.  More on this story here from Huffington Post

– In August omits any mention of War in Afghanistan at his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.  More on this story here from MSNBC

– In September asserting that Russia is America’s number 1 enemy; overlooking nearly a decade long war against our real public enemy – terrorism and terrorist organizations like Al qaeda.  More on this story here from US News & World Report

– In September his statements regarding the killing of US Ambassador in Libya results in admonishment from conservative peers. More on this story here from NYT

You reap what you sow Mr. Romney. You should’ve kept Grenell, because you look like a bumbling amateur right now.

So You Think You Can Dance

Twitch dancerOn Tuesday I was watching So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD for short). One of the performances included a former contestant who comes back periodically to dance with current contestants.  Anyone who has watched SYTYCD over the years will recognize Twitch.

I loved Twitch from the moment I saw him audition however many years ago on SYTYCD.  Here is a video of Twitch from a couple of years ago dancing with contestant, Kherington Payne.

The consequences of repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell

Repeal of DADT

Last week BuzzFeed collected more than 2 dozen images of the impact repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) has had on our military.  You can see the full list of happy images by linking here.

These images must make those who opposed repealing the act seethe.  The thought that gay and lesbian service men and women no longer need to cower in the shadows or fret over being outed by a jealous or angry peer must seem like a gross injustice to them.

According to Senator Rick Santorum allowing this to happen is wrong and in his words a  “…social experimentation with our military and that is tragic” I beg to differ Senator Santorum; rather I find you and your political party tragic and I’m tired of your social experimentation.
