Boy Scouts officially drop ban on gay leaders, Guillermo Diaz clowns around, Dogs vs Cats

It's finally official - the Boy Scouts have dropped their ban on openly gay adults, unless the troop is sponsored by a church that objects, which is about 70% of them. But a victory is a victory, and maybe forward thinking groups will now move to sponsor troops. The vote wasn't even close, coming in at 45-12.

Now that the heat from the License to Discriminate bill is off Indiana, Governor Mike Pence isn't terribly interested in passing a nondiscrimination bill. When he was asked about following through on that, Pence decided to quote rosy figures about the state's economy as a way of saying it isn't needed. "I think our economy speaks for itself. Our economy is Bugs Bunnystrong and growing stronger, and that's a testament to the resilience of the people of Indiana and to the great reputation our state enjoys. We're going to move forward on the policies that are making that a reality, and we'll leave debates about the future for the future."

snicks missed a big birthday yesterday in Briefs, because Bugs Bunny turned 75. Cut yourself a piece of carrot cake and give a salute to the big eared guy who isn't worried at all about how masculine he is.

North Carolina has passed a bill that gives the state jurisdiction over all "objects of remembrance." Basically, it means they now control any and all monuments to the Confederacy, and if your town wants to show it's no longer racist by removing or changing a Confederate memorial, that's tough, because the state now has final say in everything. That whole "govern locally" thing doesn't work when racist heritage is the topic of discussion.Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen

A group of lawmakers, including Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen have signed a letter urging the State Department to deny spousal visas to diplomats from countries that won't give diplomatic visas to same sex spouses of our diplomats. “We cannot look the other way when an American spouse — any American diplomatic spouse — is discriminated against in this way. If a foreign government refuses to issue the appropriate visa to same-sex spouses, we ask that the State Department reciprocate by denying a visa to the spouse of a diplomat from that country.”

The Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords has resigned after video surfaced of him wearing a bra and complaining to £200/night prostitutes that his government allowance is too small. He also tossed in a bunch of racist comments about Asian girls. Jeez. Our politicians can sleep with hookers while wearing a diaper and engaging in baby play and still remain in office. You guys are strict.

Gawker has offered buyouts to any of its employees who object to the plan to make the tabloid site 20% nicer going forward. “At Gawker Media, it is not enough for a story to be true; Mike Huckabeeit has to be true and interesting. It should be interesting not only to an in-house editor, but to our reader communities. And that interest should be worth the hurt inflicted.”

Mike Huckabee tweeted that the new Iran deal meant that we were marching "Israelis to the door of the oven." That didn't sit well with anyone, including the Anti-Defamation League. “To hear Mr. Huckabee invoke the Holocaust when America is Israel’s greatest ally and when Israel is a strong nation capable of defending itself is disheartening." The National Jewish Democratic Council was even harsher. “To state that President Obama is leading Israelis ‘to the door of the oven’ is not only disgustingly offensive to the President and the White House, but shows utter, callous disregard for the millions of lives lost in the Shoah and to the pain still felt by their descendants today." I always say the golden rule is that you do not invoke the Holocaust unless you're talking about the actual Holocaust.

The adorable gays of ASAP Thought/Science debate the merits of cats vs. dogs from a scientific point of view. I love seeing them when their personalities come out, and they definitely do in the great debate. I'm calling it for the dogs.

Pat Robertson answers a question about why God didn't strike down the Supreme Court for the ruling in Roe v Wade. Somehow it becomes incredibly racist. Like, I was truly not expecting the turn that it took. Pat rarely surprises me.

Here's Disclosure's latest, "Omen" featuring Sam Smith. It's a beautiful song, and the video of sweaty couples dirty dancing could have only been improved if they'd mixed in a male couple or two. I saw at least one girl/girl couple.

Yeah, so Taylor Swift is hittin' this

They followed this with pictures of deep fried Milky Ways, so I guess they took a helicopter to the Fair

Even sick, he's still handsome

Did anyone else just assume they'd hire someone to handle things like this? And isn't Scott an architect?
