You can will your money to whomever you wish . . . as long as you don't leave out gay people.

Have you noticed that gays no longer use the "we just want tolerance" thing? How long has it been since you've heard one of them say that? Now they demand to have whatever it is they want.

I always thought that it was an individual's prerogative to leave his estate to whomever he wished. "Not so," say gay judges. Robert Mandelbaum is a criminal court judge in Manhattan. He and his "spouse," another man he "married," have a 2-year-old son by a surrogate mother. Mandelbaum's late father was a wealthy man, but Mandelbaum doesn't like his father's will. 

According to the stipulations of the will, unless Mandelbaum is married to the mother of his child, the child inherits nothing. Mandelbaum is contesting the will on the grounds that his father is trying to force him into a sham marriage. I don't often use texting abbreviations; however, this one calls for a very large LOL! A marriage to a man is not a sham, but a marriage to a woman is? At any rate, his father is not "forcing" him into anything -- if he doesn't want to marry the child's mother, he certainly doesn't have to. He just has to decide whether he's that mercenary or not.

If that argument doesn't stick, Mandelbaum has another -- his partner could be considered the child's "mother." 

Countering Mandelbaum's so-called grounds, Joshua Rubenstein, a Manhattan estate lawyer, said, " . . . it's your property, and you can do whatever you want with it." At least you could up until the homos started asking for tolerance.

On another note, I wonder just what kind of idiot the surrogate mother is. What kind of woman has a child and gives it to a couple of perverts?

More Evidence That the World is Nuts

Remember the guy who killed 77 people in Norway last year? The law in Norway prevents them from sentencing this demon to more than 21 years in prison.

In the event he is declared insane, he will be the sole patient in a half-million-dollar facility built just for him. He will have 17 people to wait on him. 

If he is declared mentally fit, he will remain in the facility he now calls home. He has at his disposal a private bedroom, exercise room, and study; computer, television, and newspapers. The goal, say prison officials, is to integrate him with the general prison population where he will also have access to an education, a library, a gym, and leisure activities. 

Hmmmm - Mr. Essie and I are due a vacation. Maybe I'll send for one of Norway's penal system travel brochures.

YUMMY!

Soon to be former First Lady Michelle Obama recently hosted a bunch of kids at a White House "state dinner." She wanted to show them that eating nutritious foods was "fun."

They were served cabbage sloppy Joes and baked zucchini fries. YUM! I'm sure they all begged for second helpings.

By the way, I notice she still hasn't asked Congress to limit food stamp purchases to healthy foods. Hypocrite!

We're just too conservative!

Did you know that if you consider it perverted and immoral for a teacher to film herself having an orgy with five students, you're too conservative?

That's what Brittni Colleps's attorney says. Brittni is the married English teacher who was recently convicted of having sex with five of her 18-year-old students. One of them filmed the episode on his cellphone. Lex Johnston, the defense attorney, said, "Tarrant County is too conservative." 

One of Brittni's friends testified for her in the punishment phase of her trial. "There will be three children without a mother," she told the jury. There were already three children without a decent mother. Her husband asked for probation because "it's not my or my kids' fault." I suppose Jack the Ripper's mother could have made the same argument. Johnston says that the jury will probably regret what they did, and that "it sent a message to the United States." I can't imagine the jury regretting finding her guilty, but I certainly hope it sent a message to the U.S.!

Page 6?

Suppose a Tea Party member walked into a Gay and Lesbian Action Committee headquarters, yelled out, "I don't like your politics," and shot a security guard. Do you think it would be the lead story on the 6 o'clock news? Do you think it would make the front page of the newspaper? Do you think the gays and lesbians would be out protesting all the "haters"?

Now, suppose a gay/lesbian activist walked into the Family Research Council headquarters, yelled out, "I don't like your politics," and shot a security guard. I can tell you where you'd find that story. Page 6 of The Dallas Morning News next to the news briefs. I can't tell you what the gays and lesbians think about it, though. They've all been strangely quiet.

You bet we do, Michelle!

At a recent campaign stop, Michelle Obama said, "We all know who my husband is, don't we? And we all know what he stands for."

You bet we do, Michelle! And that's why we've got to get him the heck out of the White House!

If you love Mexico so much, go compete for them.

Leo Manzano ran in the Olympic 1500 meter race for the United States. He won the silver medal. Receiving his award, he held a Mexican flag along with the U.S. flag.

Esther Cepeda says she knew as soon as that happened "the haters" would come out.  She says Manzano's action was just ethnic pride no different than celebrating Oktoberfest or St. Patrick's Day.

I beg to differ. People who celebrate Oktoberfest or St. Patrick's Day aren't representing the U.S. in international competition when they do so. If you represent the U.S., then you should do so whole-heartedly. Manzano needs to decide whether he's a Mexican or an American. If he runs with "U.S.A." on his uniform, then he needs to represent the United States. 

Esther asks if anyone would be freaking out if a naturalized U.S. citizen from Ireland hoisted an Irish flag along with the Stars and Stripes. You bet! It's the same thing. She says that the fact of the matter is that parts of America don't yet see Hispanics as "one of us." It seems to me he's the one who doesn't see himself as "one of us." If he acted like an American, he would most likely be accepted as an American. And therein lies the difference in European immigrants and Mexican immigrants. The vast majority of Irish immigrants assimilate. They truly become Americans. Doesn't seem to be that way with Mexicans. They don't want to learn English, and they hoist that Mexican flag every chance they get. I can't figure out why, if they love Mexico so much, they don't go back there.
